✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 246 endorsements and over 118k downloads.
- Simple, focused tweak that directly affects boss fights.
- Configurable settings let you dial in the exact difficulty you want.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects large and boss enemies—no impact on regular mobs.
- Last updated in October 2025—may not be compatible with future game patches.
For players who find boss fights too easy and want to add a layer of tankiness to big enemies. Also for those who want a simple difficulty slider without overhauling the whole game. Skip if you prefer gameplay overhauls or if you're happy with vanilla boss difficulty.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's config file to adjust the damage reduction percentage to your liking.
- Test the mod on a single boss encounter to see if the new difficulty feels right before committing.
- If you're using other gameplay mods, load FORTITUDE after them to ensure its changes apply.
