About this mod
An overhaul of items, skills, combat incentives and enemy stats. This mod is NOT compatible with existing save files.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
A mod that aims to provide replay value for casual players seeking a vanilla-like experience and difficulty.
This mod requires starting a new save game after installation to work properly; playing on a vanilla save could irreversibly alter your existing game.
Notable Changes
Reworked Spirit Emblem system:
- Spirit Emblems will refill in unlimited quantity when resting at a Sculptor's Idol, and are no longer purchasable.
- Attack enemies to generate Spirit Emblems for use in skills and Prosthetic Tools.
- All normal attacks, offensive Martial Arts and non-Emblem consuming skills can restore Spirit Emblems.
- Base and ceiling Spirit Emblem capacity has been altered, as have the Emblem cost of items, skills and Prosthetic Tools.
Rebalanced items, skills and Prosthetic Tools:
- Changes were carefully considered and playtested.
- Important changes are reflected within in-game descriptions.
Reduced menu item redundancy:
- Direct upgrades of skills and Prosthetic Tools will replace the obsolete version entirely.
- Distinctions between upgrades and variants are reflected in the upgrade trees' descriptions.
Altered enemy stats and placement:
- Mainly affects non-boss enemies; changes were made to accommodate the new environment for skill and Prosthetic Tool use.
- Changes were made to both base stats and specific attack properties.
- Standardized enemy piercing damage (or 'dark damage') resistance.
Slightly altered upgrade trees:
- The placement of certain skills have been changed.
- The total number of Skill Points required to possess all skills has been slightly lowered.
- Materials required for Prosthetic Tool upgrades has been slightly reduced.
Altered Lightning Reversal mechanic:
- Lightning strikes now deal a larger proportion of total lightning damage; 'Shock' status damage has been reduced.
- Deflecting a lightning strike before a Lightning Reversal nullifies its damage, while guarding reduces damage taken.
A comprehensive list of changes will be uploaded soon.

Note: This mod is unfinished and is in an early state. More map changes and new miniboss encounters were planned, but I will be busy for the next few months, so I've decided to release the mod as-is for now. I'll return to finish the planned changes soon. Feedback and criticisms are greatly appreciated!
