Terror build up overhaul:


Change all "Terror" to "Curse", except the original instant death, there are more deadly effect for some "Curse Enchanting" Boss, once you are affected by Curse,

BWEARE !!
"Even An Honest Death Won't Cure You Forever..."


and that was try to frighten you, once u are affected by Curse, the Curse effect will last "many many several seconds" (which will make you feel like "forever") death won't disable its effect till the time is over, only 2 custom items can disable the curse if it's effect is activating.
Enemies repostion for sure. Make the game walkthrough more challenging.

Custom Boss Added:




Many custom bosses has added(not only these guys in pictures, keep some secrets to make more fun), get the new items by defeating them.


Suggestion:
Beware anything suspicious, "Something Poweful" may stalking nearby.




And if you find out some Sculptor's Idols are missing, thats not a bug, "something powerful" is nearby, defeating it will unlock it.


************************************************************************************************************************************************
Anyone who challenge in "Charmless" will find out its a big difference from not being charmless. I was in Charmless difficulty in my video thats why the Bosses looks so tough that I can barely do damage to their Posture or Vitality. A Boss fight should be an epic battle which shouldn't end in 30 sec, that's why I made this mod. If u feel its too hard to take the enemies and Bosses down u can just cancel the charmless. Hope u guys can enjoy the challenge !
