Hello everyone. I am running the game on PS5 on standard difficulty NG. On my lasts runs I was performing between 1h53 and 1h54.

Yesterday I did a run playing quite in a similar way but my fights against Lady D, Moreau and Urias went way faster than usual. I finished my run at 1h50.

I am wondering what was different and why the boss were weaker. I realize that I get bite by a Lycan in the village on my way to Luiza’s house and I was wondering if it could impact the difficulty adjustment in some way.

Is there any information about that somewhere? Is there any difficulty adjustment in the game? Do you know the triggers and how it works?

Thanks everyone for the help and the answers :-).

Getting bit until ur in danger and then healing drops ur DA significantly We do this on PC for NG Casual and it helps the run a lot.

Is there already some precise strats? Number of time you need to get hit compare to the number of NME you kill?

So, on ng casual we don't kill any lycans except for the first one before "is it over" line. After that we just get hit a bunch by every lycan we can find to drop our DA. It's a weird section that has a lot of do's and dont's

Will that be done in the 4 min horde section at the start?

Yes

Thanks for all the information Man. Super useful :-). Do you have a run visible on YouTube or twitch yet?

no not yet, boards will go live today later on, so expect a lot of people to have that strat implemented ^^
