The creative effects challenges players to think strategically while completing the game. Doing so places a heavy burden on the player at the beginning of the game, such as continuous damage over time or an extra enemy thrown into boss battles, but perhaps dispels some future frustration later on in a playthrough. Due to the nature of Dark Souls and how open it is for exploration, players could choose to tackle some of the more difficult bosses up-front while they have fewer negative effects active on their character. As you defeat bosses and progress through the game, players must endure a growing number of penalties and debuffs.ĭefeating bosses also causes the world of Lordran itself to change, which can involve doors being locked and unlocked or enemy positions changing suddenly. The Scorched Contract mod was created by HotPocketRemix, and it allows players to try their hand at an especially difficult version of Dark Souls.
