## TOTK Challenge Mode (v1.8.0.)

[Discord Server](https://discord.gg/Z35qfGBTeH)

### Mod description

This mod aims to make Tears of the Kingdom __harder__ by adding new, __more dangerous enemies__ and __tweaking game mechanics__ for a more challenging and interesting experience with the game. It is __recommended to start a whole new save__ with this mod for the best experience possible!

#### Features
- This mod comes with [True Damage Display v2](https://gamebanana.com/mods/568686) integrated in it. It makes it so that the game actually displays how it changes fuse damage on spears and two handed weapons, and also makes sure that other attack modifiers are also affected by the weapon type.
- All scalable enemies (Bokoblins, Moblins, Lizalfos, Horriblins, Boss Bokoblins, Lynels, Soldier Constructs and Captain Constructs) __were scaled by one rank__. For example, all red Bokoblins are blue in the mod. At least one specimen of each base enemy will stay, for Hyrule Compendium, Quests or Armor upgrades.
- All scalable enemies now have a new rank (Golden for all Monsters, Seized for the Constructs), __stronger__, tankier, faster, but also __more rewarding__ with their unique fusable materials and better overall drops. 
- All mini bosses (Molduga, Gleeok, Frox, Flux Construct, Hinox and Talus) now have a new, __unique__ more powerful rank, wielding unique fuse materials. You can learn more about them in the __Challenge Mode - Rumors__ book in the Room of Awakening. Doing so will also start new quests that will guide you through the discovery of the rest of the exclusive content of the mod.
- New weapons were added, or readded! __Lynel weapons__ are back. You can also get the standalone version of Lynel weapons [here](https://gamebanana.com/mods/494687), thanks to Godzilaa4 for making the mod! Zonaite weapons also got a __new rank__ of weapons in order to make them more interesting in mid and late game.
- A wide array of map changes were made to the surface, mostly to add more __Lynels__ to the map and make the enemy camps more diversified. __No more Bokoblin only camps__! As of 1.1.0 version of the mod and onward, the Depths were also changed for the same reasons, also adding some powerful modified weapons at specific places. As of 1.2.0 version of the mod and onward, this change is also applied to even more of the Surface, Sky and Dungeons.
- As a development to the previous change, the six __Monster Camps__ involved in the Monster Control Crew quests have been severely buffed, making a hard late game challenge. They were given __new, powerful and unique reward__ for three of them, so don't forget to check them out!

#### Options

This mod comes with multiple options to enhance your experience. Recommended options should all be enabled in order to play as the mod was intended to be played, but you're free to tinker with them as you want.

##### Additions
- **All bosses buff**: Bosses (including Moragia, Sludge Like, Kohga 1 2 3 & his Construct) are all stronger and faster (except for Ganondorf), Dungeon bosses deal gloom damage. They also have restricted Perfect Dodge timings when applicable. (__recommended__)
- **Blåhaj over Blue Sand Seal Plush**: Replaces the Blue Sand Seal Plushes with Blåhajs. Trans rights are human rights :) (this is just a port of [the eponymous mod](https://gamebanana.com/mods/499961))
- **Brazilian over American English**: Playing with the American English language will instead use the brazilian translation made by the [Triforce Heroes Team](https://triforce-heroes.com.br/) (for the vanilla game) and Godzilaa4 (for the Challenge Mode part).
- **Challenge Mode enemies are faster**: All enemies introduced in Challenge Mode are faster than their previous counterparts. The Perfect Dodge timings are harder to execute on them specifically. (__recommended__)
- **Demon King Ganondorf buff**: Ganondorf is stronger, tankier and faster, his phase 1 projectiles delete your heart containers like in phase 2. Gloom Spawn and Phantom Ganon are also buffed. They also have restricted Perfect Dodge timings when applicable. (__recommended__)
- **Lightning Strikes can spawn enemies**: Lightning Strikes have a 50% probability of making a Golden or Seized enemy appear. Once it's determined an enemy must appear, it has 20% chance of being a Golden Bokoblin, 15% Golden Moblin, 15% Golden Lizalfos, 15% Golden Horriblin, 7% Golden Boss Bokoblin, 15% Seized Soldier Construct, 10% Seized Captain Construct, 3% Golden Lynel. (__recommended__)
- **True Demon King's Army**: Custom Demon King's Army made more interesting and way harder. (__recommended__)

##### Buffs
- **Better Defense Up meal effect**: The Defense Up meal effect is buffed in order to make it viable and interesting against Attack Up. Level 1 goes from 4 to 12, Level 2 goes from 12 to 24 and Level 3 goes from 24 to 48. (__recommended__)
- **Challenge Mode weaponry durability x2**: Challenge Mode weapons, bow and shield have twice more durability.

##### Nerfs
- **Harder Perfect Parry timing**: The Perfect Parry window is 3 frames instead of 5. (__recommended__)
- **Higher Gloom damage multiplier**: Gloomed enemies in the vanilla game inflict 0.3x times their damage converted to gloomed hearts. This was changed to 1.0x their damage. (__recommended__)
- **Hitstun nerf for Link**: Most of Link's attacks do not interrupt enemies' actions. (__recommended__)
- **More enemies attack you at the same time**: When you fight many enemies at the same time, there's a cap to how many can attack you at the same time, and the others will just observe / do passive actions. This option bumps it up a bit. (__recommended__)
- **Nerfed Bone Proficiency**: Bone Proficiency's multiplier is nerfed from 1.8x to 1.5x. (__recommended__)
- **Nerfed charge attacks**: Link's charged attacks take more time to charge and take more stamina. Two handed weapon charge attack does less damage. (__recommended__)
- **Nerfed Fairies**: Fairies only heal Link by 1HP (one quarter of a Heart) instead of 20HP (5 Hearts). (__recommended__)
- **Nerfed Flurry Rush**: Link's Flurry Rushes inflict less hits. (__recommended__)
- **Nerfed Sneakstrike**: Link's Sneakstrikes deal half the damage. (__recommended__)
- **No natural Gloomed hearts regeneration**: Gloomed hearts no longer regenerate on the Surface or under lightroots. This is heavily recommended because some new enemies will have your heart UI glitched without this option. (__recommended__)
- **No One Shot Protection**: Disables one shot protection. (__recommended__)
- **No saving during battle**: Disables saving when you fight. (__recommended__)
- **Oblivious sages and Sidon ability nerf**: Sages don't attack enemies, enemies aren't distracted by Sages. Sidon's ability has a longer cooldown. (__recommended__)
- **Weapon durability loss on Lynels**: Weapons used on Lynels' back lose durability, unlike in the base game. (__recommended__)

##### Rebalances
- **Rebalanced Armor upgrade cost**: Armor upgrades that need scalable enemy parts will require the level above, to take into account the Challenge Mode scaling. (__recommended__)
- **Rebalanced Cooking**: It's impossible for the player to eat raw materials. Non Zonai scalable enemy parts were buffed, or heavily buffed compared to vanilla, so that they still offer some value even compared to the new, very powerful golden enemy parts. (__recommended__)
- **Rebalanced modifiers**: Each weapon, bow and shield has now its unique ranges of modifier values. (__recommended__)

##### Masochism options
- **All bosses buff+**: All bosses buff but on steroids. Bosses are even stronger and faster (except for Ganondorf), they deal heavy gloom damage. They also have restricted Perfect Dodge timings when applicable.
- **All enemies scale**: Very unrecommended option unless you want to suffer. This makes it so that all map enemies scale automatically if possible, regardless of their map parameters. Basically, all camps will be full golden in NG+, and will become full golden at some point after playing in non NG+.
- **Demon King Ganondorf buff+**: Demon King Ganondorf buff but on steroids. Demon King Ganondorf is even tankier and stronger, and now deletes your heart containers with ALL of his attacks. He puts all shields at one durability in one attack and all non-Master Sword weapons that hit him will break in one hit. Gloom Spawn and Phantom Ganon are also buffed. They also have restricted Perfect Dodge timings when applicable.
- **Enemy Elemental Gem Arrows**: Elemental fruits thrown by Bokoblins from their baskets have the area of effect of associated elemental gems. This also applies to any elemental fruit fuse used on arrows by enemies.
- **Enemy Health Regeneration**: Most of the enemies regenerate slowly their health on a %age basis after 5 seconds untouched, until they regenerated 100% of their health. Made by MaxLastBreath.
- **Even faster Challenge Mode enemies**: All enemies introduced in Challenge Mode are even faster than the Challenge Mode enemies are faster option. The Perfect Dodge timings are harder to execute on them specifically. 
- **Hardcore Floating Coliseum**: Very unrecommended option unless you want to suffer. This makes the Floating Coliseum way harder than it is in the base mod.
- **Lieutenant scaling**: Enemies can scale into Lieutenants, making them not unique anymore, and much more present in the overworld after a while. WARNING: This may take a lot of memory and may crash your Nintendo Switch hardware if used alongside All enemies scale.
- **True Demon King's Army+**: True Demon King's Army but on steroids. Very painful, and absolutely not balanced. No temporary save is made after beating it, which will make you restart the Army if you lose to Demon King Ganondorf. WARNING: This may crash your Nintendo Switch hardware. 
- **Useless Fairy**: Fairies do not resurrect Link after his HP fall to 0.

### How to install on TKMM

Make sure that you are not playing on version 1.0.0, which is not supported. If you are playing on hardware Switch with firmware 20 or later, you will also need to use romfslite, which is present by default in TKMM. If you're playing on version 1.4.3, know that TKMM can install the mod fine, but that it will not work on Switch hardware at the moment because Ultracam wasn't updated to support 1.4.3 yet (and so no mod can be launched on 1.4.3 on hardware Switch)

Download the .tkcl file in the Discord server linked above, in the #mod-updates channel.

Make sure you're using a version that's at least as recent as v2.0.1. This should merge fine with any other middle-sized mod that works fine with TKMM. **However, avoid merging with bigger mods such as The Second Quest or Waikuteru's Randomizer, as those mods will require a compatibility patch to ensure the new content of Challenge Mode is properly integrated in the new systems of those bigger mods. Some options do not work with each other by design, so make sure to read their description when the title of the option tells you to do so.**

#### Compatibility Patches

**When installing Compatibility Patches please read attentively the instructions in the TKCL of the Patch.**

Depths of the Kingdom: [Download compatibility patch](https://github.com/Echocolat/TOTK-Master-Mode/blob/main/Tkcl%20files/CM%201.8.0%20x%20DotK%201.2.0%20Compatibility%20Patch.tkcl?raw=true) - *Target version is 1.2.0*

In case you use Depths of the Kingdom and Challenge Mode at the same time, you need to use the following priority order in TKMM:
- Challenge Mode x Depths of the Kingdom Compatibility Patch
- Depths of the Kingdom
- Challenge Mode

### How to install without TKMM, unrecommended

Make sure that you are playing on version 1.4.2 of the game, which is the only supported version when not using TKMM.

First of all, make sure you are not using other mods at the same time (except for Performance mods like [Ultracam](https://gamebanana.com/mods/480138), and mods that do not edit any of the system files).

When installing an update of Challenge Mode, make sure to delete the previous Challenge Mode installation(s).

##### On Yuzu (and forks)
- Download the version of the mod that you want. (e.g. if you want the recommended build, download `challenge_mode_180_recommended.zip`).
- In Yuzu, right click on the game and click Open mod folder.
- Extract the .zip file inside the mod folder.
- Right click the game again and click Properties, to check if the mod is properly enabled.

##### On Ryujinx (and forks)
- Download the version of the mod that you want. (e.g. if you want the recommended build, download `challenge_mode_180_recommended.zip`).
- In Ryujinx, right click on the game and click Open mod data location.
- Extract the .zip file inside the mod folder.
- Right click the game again and click Manage Mods, to check if the mod is properly enabled.

##### On Switch hardware (atmosphere)
- [Download Ultracam v3 or later](https://www.nxoptimizer.com/releases/3.2/) and install it.
- Download the version of the mod that you want. (e.g. if you want the recommended build, download `challenge_mode_180_recommended.zip`).
- In your modded Switch SD Card, navigate to `atmosphere\contents\0100F2C0115B6000` and extract the `romfs` and `exefs` folders from the mod archive in it.
- Rename the `romfs` folder to `romfslite`.
- In your modded Switch SD Card, navigate to `atmosphere\contents\0100F2C0115B6000\exefs`, locate the IPS file inside, and cut paste it in `atmosphere\exefs_patches\Challenge Mode`. If that folder doesn't exist, create it.

### Regarding save files

ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR SAVE FILES BEFORE ENABLING OR DISABLING THE MOD. Saving the game with the mod disabled will not get rid of the new materials, weapons, armors etc. Challenge Mode adds from your save file, but as long as the mod is disabled said objects will not be able to be interacted with in your inventory, and trying to do anything with them may result in a freeze or a softlock. Saving with the mod disabled will also remove all the new Challenge Mode flags which means that any new enemy, chest, or weapon spawn will respawn for the next time you will play the mod on this save file, which can alter the player's experience. If you start a save file with Challenge Mode, it's better to not play said save file when Challenge Mode is disabled.

### Known issues (v1.8.0)
- Health Regeneration sometimes crashes the game.

### If you encounter another issue
Please report the issue in the `#bug-report channel` of the Discord server, detailling your game version, platform, issue and if possible with a crash log. We will try to help you and fix the issue if it has to be fixed the quickest possible. Thanks!
