Recommended Difficulty
Strongly recommended to start on The Shallow of the Hell(Assisted) unless highly confident in your skills.
Only players confident in their skills should attempt The Hell (Standard) or higher difficulties.
This mod is designed as a super high-difficulty challenge for players who’ve already mastered other RE2 mods, so things can get pretty tough.
Here’s a rough idea of what kind of experience is recommended for each difficulty level:
-
[]The Shallow of the Hell – You’ve cleared all RE2 main game scenarios with S+ rank, without using the infinite knife.
[
]The Hell – You’ve cleared my previous mod (The City of the Dead) on Hardcore with the Higher Difficulty add-on, and without any bonus weapons.[]The Abyss of the Hell – You’ve cleared this mod on The Hell difficulty without using any bonus weapons.
I’ve personally confirmed that The Abyss of the Hell is beatable without any bonus weapons, add-ons, or external tools,
but it really assumes you know the game’s gimmicks and enemy placements well. It’ll be a tough time for a first-time run.
Important Notes (Please read carefully)
[]Only the 1st scenario is currently playable. The 2nd scenario is still in development and will take more time to complete, but it is planned to be even more difficult.
[*]This mod supports English and Japanese only. You can set any voice language, but using a display language other than English or Japanese may hide key hints, making some sections impossible to progress
A hardcore gameplay overhaul for fans of brutal challenges, introducing new gimmicks and significantly increased difficulty for a hellish experience. With 445 endorsements and 17,304 downloads, it's a niche but proven choice for masochistic players.
