Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist – How to Change Difficulty

by

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t wait to delve into the next chapter of my adventure: Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist, the long-awaited sequel to Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knight. This follow-up takes everything that made the original such a captivating journey and elevates it even further, with refined combat mechanics and improved level design. Though it’s not the toughest Metroidvania on the block, some gamers might find it quite challenging in its early stages.

It’s great news that the game “Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist” provides a range of customization options, allowing you to tailor your gaming experience. For those seeking a relaxed journey through the plot, you can lower certain settings to simplify the gameplay. Conversely, if the game appears too effortless, you can increase the difficulty level to create a more engaging challenge. This guide will delve into how you can modify and adjust the difficulty in “Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist“.

How to Change Difficulty in Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist

To customize the challenge level in “Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist,” you’ll initially need to initiate the game and progress through a chapter until you arrive at the initial Rest Area. This Rest Area functions as your primary save point, much like Bonfires do in “Dark Souls.” At the Rest Area, you can outfit yourself with fresh abilities, relics or even review the Memories you’ve already unlocked.

Here, you’ll find the ability to customize the game’s challenge level. Navigate to the Difficulty settings, where you’ll encounter a fresh interface displaying various options for adjustment.

You can adjust the difficulty anytime in the game, as long as you’re in a Respite.

There are three main presets that you can choose from:

  • Easy (Fragment Bonus: x0.64)
  • Normal (Fragment Bonus: x1)
  • Hard (Fragment Bonus: x1.57)

Below the presets, you’ll find adjustable sliders that let you tailor various game features according to your preference. Altering these settings transforms the preset into a personalized one. As you change the settings, you’ll notice an impact on your Fragment Bonus.

Difficulty Options Effect
Enemy Maximum HP Increase or decrease the maximum health of enemies and bosses.
Enemy Attack Strength Adjust how much damage an enemy does in a single attack.
Enemy Break and Status Effect Resistance Affects how easy it is to stagger enemies and inflict status effects.
Enemy Break and Status Effect Recovery Speed Affects how quickly enemies recover from status effects or staggers.
Enemy Attack Frequency Adjust the attack frequency of enemies and bosses.

Altering the game’s challenge level impacts the quantity of rewards, known as Fragments, that you’ll gather when vanquishing adversaries and bosses within the game. These Fragments are essential for unlocking items such as outfits for the main character or designs for characters from the bonus menu.

For those seeking a tougher challenge, they have the option to enable additional obstacles in the game settings, located at the bottom of the difficulty selection menu. These added challenges will ramp up the game’s toughness significantly.

Challenge Options Effect
Disable Healing Ward Turning it on takes away the ability to use the Healing Ward to heal. You can only heal from a Respite.
Instant Death Turning it on results in death with just a single hit from any enemy.
Disable Enemy Attack Tells Turning it on makes bosses’ attacks less telegraphed.

Activating the challenges doesn’t affect Fragment Bonus.

Regardless of whether you prefer a leisurely stroll through the main tale of the sequel or a challenging, merciless Metroidvania adventure, Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist caters to both types of players. Adjust the difficulty settings to tailor the gameplay experience according to your preference.
