[Save] Regicide - Prepare for suffering!

[Albeoris]

This is a save from the very beginning of the game on Regicide difficulty. No extra items or abilities, just pure suffering for you!

Thanks to kimishima for developing an idea without which I would have spent much more time.

The game came out TODAY and is 100+ hours long for the main story alone.
I very much doubt anyone has finished the game.

I plan to edit save. :)

128...256 bytes: this is where the icon that the game has been completed is stored (the asterisk on the save file).

256...512 bytes: This is where the actual sign that the game is over is stored, and when loaded it will start from the beginning.

Most likely, both need to be set. But somewhere there is a sign that we have completed the game in True Ending, which we need in order to start the game on Regicide difficulty.

The game started from the beginning but Regicide is still grayed out:

OK. It seems that everything is not so simple.

Offset: 552 (0x228)
Size: 4 bytes (?)
Original value: 0x0000_0100
Replacing value: 0xFFFF_FFFF

Changing this value to 0 will restart the opening movie. This may be the variable that controls story progression. Unfortunately, this also means it may have nothing to do with the True Ending and unlocking Regicide.

Offset: 224 (0xE0)
Size: 1 byte
Original value: 0x00

This is where the icon that the game has been completed is stored (the asterisk on the save file).
Changing this value to > 0 will mark save as NG+.

Sorry for the translation.
I tried to do it in an amateur way.
I can't unlock it by editing the save data, but I can do the highest difficulty.

save data address
059 → 0x → 04
A80 → 0x → 04
The value of “x” is different for each difficulty level.

The rest is what Albeoris said, from ng+ and opening resume.
I think it would be like progressing from the start menu.

I don't know what the glitch is, so sorry if you find it.

Brilliant! Thank you!

And you can write whatever you want in it and get the game to do weird stuff. Yes.

That's not how it works, but ok.
