There are four primary difficulty settings in Remnant From the Ashes: Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and Apocalypse. Each setting affects the strength and resilience of enemies, the quality of loot drops, and the overall challenge of the game.
Normal
Normal is the default difficulty setting and is designed for new players. Enemies are less aggressive, have lower health, and deal less damage compared to the higher difficulty levels. Loot drops are also less frequent and of lower quality. This setting is ideal for players who are new to the game or those who prefer a more relaxed gameplay experience.
Hard
Hard is the intermediate difficulty setting. Enemies are more aggressive, have higher health, and deal more damage. Loot drops are more frequent and of higher quality compared to Normal. This setting is recommended for players who have some experience with the game and are looking for a greater challenge.
Nightmare
Nightmare is the highest difficulty setting. Enemies are extremely aggressive, have significantly higher health, and deal substantial damage. Loot drops are very frequent and of the highest quality. This setting is intended for experienced players who are looking for the ultimate challenge.
Apocalypse
Apocalypse mode is the most challenging difficulty level in the game. It is not accessible right from the beginning but becomes unlocked after completing the game at least once on any other difficulty level. This mode poses an extremely high level of difficulty, and the developers intentionally designed it to be available only after players have become familiar with the game mechanics and have developed effective strategies. The enemies and bosses in this mode are exceptionally powerful, leaving no room for errors or mistakes.
How To Change Difficulty Settings
To change the difficulty setting in Remnant From the Ashes, you need to re-roll your campaign. Here’s how to do it:
- At the Ward 13 World Stone, select ‘World Settings’.
- Choose the ‘Re-roll Campaign’ option.
- Select the campaign you want to re-roll.
- Choose your desired difficulty setting.
Note: Please note that re-rolling your campaign will reset all world progress, but you will keep your character progression and equipment.
Additional Information
Scaling
Remnant From the Ashes uses a dynamic difficulty scaling system. This means that the difficulty of the game adjusts based on your character’s gear score. The higher your gear score, the more challenging the enemies will be. This scaling applies to all difficulty settings.
Co-op Play
The difficulty of the game also scales based on the number of players in a co-op session. The more players in a session, the more challenging the enemies will be. However, playing in co-op also means more firepower to take down enemies.
Adventure Mode
In addition to the main campaign, Remnant From the Ashes also features an Adventure Mode. This mode allows you to re-roll individual worlds without affecting your main campaign progress. The difficulty setting of Adventure Mode can be adjusted independently of the main campaign.
Note: Adjusting the difficulty setting in the game will affect various aspects, including enemy toughness and your own damage output. However, it is important to note that the difficulty will always align with the level of your most powerful gear. In other words, regardless of the chosen difficulty, the game will scale to match the strength of your highest-level equipment.
This marks the end of our Remnant From the Ashes difficulty guide.
