Description

This script is just something I made for fun to provide additional challenge for experienced players.

It brings the following changes to the game when Akumu is activated:
  • The game's adaptive difficulty will always be at its hardest in accordance to whatever the menu difficulty is. This means enemies will always be at maximum aggression and toughness just as if you had been playing flawlessly without the script.
  • Unguarded hits will be instant death.
  • Holding the guard button before a hit lands will allow the player character to just barely survive the hit. This only works at high health. Having no visible blood on the screen guarantees another guarded hit can be taken.
  • The Iron Defense coin in Madhouse removes the need to guard for a hit to counted as "blocked".
  • If "critical health" is waited out to where screen warping stops, only a single normal first aid (or 3 herbs) is needed to survive another blocked hit; otherwise additional healing is needed.
  • Using all 4 steroids and being completely healed will allow an additional hit to be taken in the final section.
  • Having one defense scroll causes guarded hits to instead deal their full normal damage instead of being near-fatal. Both defense scrolls combined will cause guarded hits to deal no damage as normal.

There is also an option for "True Akumu". If turned on, all hits will be fatal regardless of anything else. To turn it On, double-click the "Off" on the right side and change it in the dropdown menu.

The "Ignore Scratch Damage" prevents damage from a couple guarded attacks that technically cause damage but are unnoticeable in normal gameplay (less than 1% health loss). It won't protect against things actually designed to hurt like bugs. I've left it as an option for anyone who'd like to enforce a hard no damage rule.

To make sure this is beatable, I've played this all the way through on Madhouse with the True Akumu option enabled without using any unlockables. I even went through the extra fight on the "bad" ending. Every area and fight (even the melee only ones) is possible to beat reliably using the right technique. There's a video of my run in the VIDEOS section.

This script is able to be used simultaneously with my Third-Person OTS Script. You can right-click on the "Akumu" text and copy-paste the script into the other one so that two cheat engine windows don't need to be opened. Use "File" then "Save" to overwrite re7.CT.

The DLCs have not been tested; only the main game. I'm not sure offhand if the DLCs have any areas with unavoidable damage that would make it impossible to progress.

As seen in my video, I've had a bug in the main game where I technically died but was stuck in place. Just use "Retry" if this happens.
