Easy Mode, Real or Fake?

[Licht Knight of the Undead]

Is there really an ""Easy" Mode" in the game? I just keep exploring but I still haven't found it yet, or I found it but I didn't activate it.

The "easy mode" is not something you can enable or disable.
As in all souls games the easy mode is a play style you need to figure out.

The "easy mode" from that one topic is a mod and not in the game. It uses some leftover values possibly given to reviewers as the difficulty.

That said, specters and throwable items are incredibly overpowered and are just one step above having a "skip the fight" option.

It's called New Game Plus and you have to finish the game once first. ;D

i really wish people would stop saying this drivel. throwables and spectres aren't skipping jack squat lol, if you don't know the fight you can throw all the stuff you want you're gonna lose because spectre dies in two seconds and throwables don't do jack to later bosses. stfu with this bull.

Yeah bro, look how hard the hardest boss in the game is with throwables.

Totally still requires you to learn the movesets. Thats without the specter tanking for you.

Nah, I stand by what I said. Throwables are a developer sanctioned cheat code.

It's a mod on Nexus the modder said was hidden in the game files as "easy mode" and all it took was a quick change from "false" to "true."

Obviously I can't confirm or deny if the modder is being truthful, but if that's really the case, it was probably changed for the full release because of the specific crowd of people the developer was trying to attract - the hardcore group.

I use the mod, and based on what I've seen modded versus unmodded, the game just feels far more balanced with the mod.
