Difficulty Levels in Plague Tale Requiem

Plague Tale Requiem has three basic difficulty levels. This guide explains the differences between them and how to make the game easier. The game poses a challenge with its deadly opponents, and you can learn how to switch between the difficulty levels and the additional options you can use to make gameplay easier.

• Choosing a difficulty level
• Other settings

Choosing a Difficulty Level

The first time you start a new game, you must select a difficulty level. You can change your selection later in the options menu, but you must resume from the last checkpoint. The three difficulty levels are:

1. Narrative – This is the easiest level, reducing the challenge of confrontations and emphasizing exploration and the storyline.
2. Normal – This is the default setting, offering balanced gameplay. Fights may pose a challenge, but they are not impossible to win.
3. Hard – This difficulty level is for players seeking an extra challenge. Opponents are more dangerous, and Amicia has limited supplies. It is not recommended for the initial playthrough.

Note: Difficulty levels do not affect trophies; you can still get the platinum trophy on Narrative difficulty.

Other Settings

The options menu offers other settings that can help you during gameplay:

1. Help Frequency – Determines how quickly you receive hints when solving puzzles. The default value is Normal; you can increase it or turn it off to solve puzzles on your own.
2. Invincible Mode – Provides partial immortality, and you can learn more about it on the Cheats page.
3. Automatic Quick Interactions – Enables skipping QTEs where you must press buttons quickly.
4. Use Aim Assist – Makes it easier to aim accurately at enemies’ heads; the default setting is Normal. Disabling aim assist increases the risk of missing the target and death if an opponent is heading toward Amicia.
