How to change the difficulty level?
To access the settings related to the difficulty level, open the equipment and tasks screen, and then go to the "System" tab. From there, select "Options" and then go to the "Difficulty level" tab. Majority of the most important settings responsible for the difficulty level are located here, but it is also worth noting that several of the discussed modes are available in the "Gameplay" tab in the options menu. Check them out.
Difficulty levels and specific settings associated with them can be changed at any time during the game.
How do the difficulty level settings work?
The first option available in the "Difficulty level" tab will allow you to choose one of 4 predefined settings with increasing levels of challenge. These are:
- Rookie;
- Warrior;
- Hero;
- Immortal.
However, The Lost Crown offers the option to create your own difficulty level by changing the values and modifying individual gameplay elements. Below we present a list of available options:
- Enemy Damage - this bar modifies the amount of damage dealt by enemies;
