📋 About This Mod
In the spirit of KH2FM and the ReMind Superbosses, this mod sets a minimum amount of damage you can do to enemies, regardless of your strength (if you are above the strength threshold, you won't see a difference in your damage output). This "damage floor" is set on a per-enemy basis, the end goal being that nothing dies too quickly, nor takes excruciatingly long.
This mod will work on your existing save files without issue.
Feedback is welcome and encouraged. With over 150 enemies to account for, I've assuredly made some mistakes and bad decisions. If you notice anything that seems off, please let me know.
Installation
To install, just drop the .pak file into the following directory:
...\EpicGames\KH_3\KINGDOM HEARTS III\Content\Paks\~mods
If you don't already have a ~mods folder, simply create one in the Paks folder. It must include the tilde (~) or it won't work.
Damage Scaling Overhaul adds a unique 'damage floor' to nearly every enemy and boss in Kingdom Hearts, eliminating chip damage for a faster-paced yet still challenging Level 1 run. It does not alter Limit Cut or Secret Episode content. With 235 endorsements and over 6,200 downloads, it's a niche gameplay tweak for experienced players.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 235 endorsements and 6,200+ downloads.
- Targets a specific pain point for Level 1 runners—chip damage—without overhauling the whole game.
- Keeps the hardest content (Limit Cut/Secret Episode) untouched, so purists can still get the original challenge.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2021, so it may not be compatible with newer game versions or mods.
- Niche appeal: only useful if you're doing a Level 1 run; otherwise it changes the game's balance.
- Potential conflicts with other gameplay mods that alter enemy stats or damage formulas.
For Kingdom Hearts players who love Level 1 challenge runs but hate getting chipped down by weak hits. If you're a casual player or don't do challenge runs, this mod isn't for you—it's purely a balance tweak for the hardcore crowd.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your original game files before installing, as this mod modifies enemy data.
- If you're using other gameplay mods, install this one last to avoid overwriting changes.
- Test on a low-level save to see the damage floor in action before committing to a full run.
