Its Prepare To Die mod makes other changes as well with a larger field of view, and limiting fast travel to cathedrals and churches, as well as altering New Game Plus to accommodate for the extra difficulty and enemy AI adjustments. In essence, the extremely difficult Elden Ring Runes just got a significantly more difficult due to this mod. Great.
In the description of the mod, Silentverge02 said they "got tired" of having easy modes populate Nexus Mods. Silentverge02 explained in messages to MMOexp that even though Elden Ring is enough of an experience already, they thought enemies AI is "lacking" and needed greater challenge than what the game provides. Much like a glutton who needs to be punished.
"I'm not bashing those mods for easy mode or anything else," Sileventverge02 told us, "but it's just an effort to determine who will ruin the game the most quickly. I have no beef with any other modders for Elden Ring, and I am not averse to mods that are easy mode-like. I simply enjoy a challenge in everything I do, especially gaming. I'm the kind of person who, when playing a new game will increase the difficulty to max on the very first playthrough. More challenge more enjoyment!"
The toughest part of creating Prepare To Die, says Silentverge02, was discovering the best way to mod Elden Ring in the first place. The game hasn't released for over a whole month. Mods to the game definitely exist, but they found working on the game's code difficult given the lack of "how-tos" available. Yet, Silentverge02 isn't done modding the game, as they've got another concept in the pipeline.
"Yes, I plan on creating (or trying to create) the kind of survival mod that requires you to make more items to survive . And maybe even an eating system that is some kind," Silentverge02 told us. "I'm probably just dreaming about it, but you'll never have the ability to. If it's possible I'll work it out!"
It's hard even to believe that best place to buy elden ring items being any harder than it is already. I'm getting my a slayed all over the place by every thing under the Lands Between's sun. And yet, folks are winning the game, without dying as well as killing the bosses with the most elegant manner possible. Let me see them accomplish it all with this mod in action.
