How to change difficulty in Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist
To adjust the difficulty level Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the MistYou must first start the game and play through the chapter until you Reach the first breathing space. The breathing space serves as your main save point in the game, similar to a campfire Dark souls. While you rest in a Respite, you can equip yourself with new skills and relics, or even view memories you've unlocked so far.
Here you also have the option to adjust the difficulty level of the game. Go to the difficulty menu and you'll be taken to a new window that shows you all the things you can adjust.
You can adjust the difficulty at any time in the game as long as you are in a breathing space.
There are three main presets you can choose from:
- Simply (Fragment bonus: x0.64)
- Normal (Fragment bonus: x1)
- Hard (Fragment bonus: x1.57)
The sliders below the presets allow you to adjust various aspects of the game, further adjusting the difficulty level to suit your tastes. This will set the default to “Personalized.” You will also notice that different settings will affect your fragment bonus when you swap them out.
