How to Activate Torture Mode and Handle the Crippled Effect

For players seeking an extreme test of survival, the Difficulty Enhancement Mod offers high-tier settings beyond Normal and Extreme difficulties, culminating in Torture mode.

Selecting Torture Difficulty

Open the Difficulty Enhancement Mod menu and follow these steps to enable the setting:

1. Navigate through the difficulty selection screen using the three on-screen buttons.

2. Cycle past Extreme mode and choose Torture.

3. A confirmation prompt will appear on your screen with a taunting HAVE FUN message.

4. Confirm the prompt to activate the difficulty across your world.

Managing the Crippled Status Effect

Torture difficulty pushes your survival limits by heavily scaling global combat values against you. One of the primary hazards you will encounter under these punishing conditions is the Crippled status effect:

• When Crippled, your health drops dangerously low, leaving you vulnerable to being eliminated by any incoming hit.
• The effect produces a distinct red screen overlay that obscures your vision, signaling immediate danger regardless of the biome you are traveling through.

To survive, avoid aggressive encounters whenever this status triggers, retreat to cover immediately, and prioritize restoring your health before taking on more enemies.
