I wish I had seen this first. But it gives me the idea to look for this in future games

[Zulgarr]

Thank you! I was hoping to play on Nightmare from the start!

[Kakaraka]

I'm glad I found this, I heard the game was rather easy and I wanted to play it on Nightmare Mode from the get go... that said... what's this Umbra Orb I've heard about?

[BadNetCode]

Agreed. Enjoy.

Thank you so much, this game would have been boringly easy on normal mode.

[giga-ganon]

Damn i wish i would have known that before... normal mode was really too easy

[Tsuki Zero]

Managed to check it myself, someone showed it. Dunno, I found the backer stuff very interesting.

[BadNetCode]

Tsukiyomaru Zero , I wouldn't worry about it. The Umbra Orb is not very interesting.

[Tsuki Zero]

It's a shame to paywall contents that much... I prefer it when backers get an easy way to attain it, while commoners have to work their way through.

Case in point: La-Mulana 2
Backers of that game got 1 to 4 Skeleton Keys without doing a thing, while those who got 3 or less had to complete achievements (one of which was... Very weird and random that you couldn't possibly guess)

[BadNetCode]

Yeah, I misread your first comment.
