Easy mode mod

[nicthar]

I know that I'm probably gonna get a bunch of comments just telling me to get good at the game or play something else, but I really love the overall theme of this game and there doesn't seem to be anything else like it so I'm going to ask.

Does anyone know if someone is planning on making an easy mode mod like the one for Sekiro? Or if there's already one out?

You can always use a cup or two to summon people. That's about as easy mode as it gets, don't recommend doing it on your first time tries though, cause you'll most likely end up with one-shot builds joining you to steamroll the boss :D

Why don't you just watch a youtube playthrough if you're interested on the game but don't want to play it? You would even save the US$50

I use Wemod, it's very easy to set up and use. The only "cheat" I use is the Defensive Multiplier, I move it up to 5.0 so I don't die in 2 hits. you can take more hits before you die. It's a good way to learn the game. You shouldn't care what others think if you use cheat or not, just don't go online and play coop with it.

I am very happy with Wemod and it make the game easier and more enjoyable for me.

Use online co-op, preferrably get someone to game with you, so you have a chance to fight the enemies too and enjoy the experience. Summoning players makes it easy mode. Some players are as nice as to let you defeat enemies too or let you play. Good luck!

Pump everything into stamina and use heavy armor, then later join the Todo Clan.

No more dying in 2 hits. The game can be a lot more forgiving if you want it to be.

Just use Cheat Engine or some other cheat tool for infinite health or damage multipliers etc. if you're that desperate.

Practice makes perfect, the game gets "easier" the more you master the combat

WeMod is great. If I run into an especially difficult part of a game, that I keep losing to, I'll fire it up and cheat through that part. I'm too old to deal with getting angry at a game anymore. lol

Not judging you for cheating, but I'm 37 and I didn't cheat once to beat this... currently on level 38 of the Underworld and counting.

The game isn't "hard" per se, it's just got a rhythm that you need to learn along with all your chose weapon's skills. It definitely gets easier as you play.

I watched a 50 year old streamer play through this, was great fun to see him get better with each stream. age seems to just be a number for some after all

??? Honda clan paired with Wild Boar Crested Helmet and Protection Talisman is far superior.

Yeah good combo. This, along with veteran's armor and Inosasao i think? The boar that gives +7.5% damage reduction mid attack on second spirit slot allows me to "trade" even with enemies that would killed me in two hits. Like Onydo or One-eyed Oni. Magatsu warrior in the face, still hurts getting two hits from Onydo tho. Here's the example, 3:22. This is Underworld floor 50+

The game starts hard, but you can outlevel it and outgear the difficulty. It's nowhere near as difficult as Sekiro.

Dude some 50 yr olds grew up in early coin op arcades and played the first consoles. Many games were a lot harder and less forgiving then. There are 50 year old pilots, martial artists, musicians, etc. This game isn't that hard especially after you get the ball rolling. A little synergy goes a long way even without going meta.

At the start of the game just kill a bunch of revenants to get some gear and a few levels under your belt. You can skip the first boss if you are super green too, the game even tells you so.

Some classes/builds are more glass cannon than others so if you have survivability issues you might consider some of the other ones suggested.

Like others have said, different weapons have different rhythms. Ki management is big so you have to get a feel for how much each attack uses, how much you'll have left to dodge/roll. A HUGE part of this game is the ki pulse. If you aren't key pulsing at the right time you aren't getting your ki back and you have to wait for the ki meter to crawl back up. Not ki pulsing correctly can also can leave you defenseless or unable to block or roll again after blocking the first attack. Conversely when you ki pulse properly you can find yourself able to chain more attacks. Get used to swapping to low stance after ki pulsing because you can block more for less ki in low stance, you have more dodge mobility, and you can still get a few jabs in low stance attacks to interrupt or finish the monster off even if you don't have a lot of ki left for some reason. Also get used to swapping stances every time you do a key pulse instead of pulsing on the same stance. This will give you more key pulse gains per pulse (samurai skills you can get by spending points on Flux and Flux II). When you get good at swapping stances you can bounce back and forth pretty quickly like a drum roll.

When you get good enough, vs any 1 on 1 if you wanted to play mayweather mode for some reason you should be able to avoid 99% of the attacks if you want to unless it's a boss in a different realm hampering your ki regen or it has some really hard to avoid ranged attack. It's a matter of learning every monster's attack patterns by heart and learning your own moves and avoidance - and then doing the dance. At that point you can choose when to engage and you have a lot more ability to evade, recoup your health and ki before trading blows again if you get in trouble. You can still get surprised by random attack patterns and timing clashes etc though but that's part of the fun of the game.

Summoning helpers/AI makes the game super easy mode already like others have said. You can let the helper tank (get aggro) for you and then get free attacks in yourself plus his attacks. They also help split up multiple attackers so you can take one out early. So that is a lot easier but if you are having trouble and want to practice your ki pulses and weapon timing and get some weapon skills from leveling I'd go that route over cheating.

If you cheat you are probably avoiding learning some of the key mechanics of the game that make the combat so excellent in this game. A lot of the gear and skill effects also augment these mechanics so you really are screwing yourself in the end even if you just alter your defense, etc. The game gets easier as your personal player skills increase and as you get more synergy going in your stuff (complimentary weapon, armor, accessory, soul core, skill effects).

That's advanced NG+ player stuff. This person is asking for an easy mode, not an advanced build.

That build isn't going to help you much with multi hit attacks, especially if you lack the toughness. And Protection Charms are limited. Please stop misinforming OP, he should absolutely not play like that if he's already struggling with the game an doesn't know what he's doing. And if he'd play such a crutch build he wouldn't get better at the game anyhow.
