Difficulty

**Difficulty** is the level of challenge faced by the player while exploring Patchlantis. The starting difficulty of the game can be changed before the start of a run, and while on a run the difficulty will continuously increase over time. In addition, the difficulty of each area varies according to a global heatmap.

## Difficulty effects

Difficulty increases work in stages, with each stage resulting in a sudden jump in the level of challenge faced. Monsters, bosses, and critters are all affected by difficulty. The following increase over time as difficulty grows:

* The number and size of monsters in corridors.
* The number and size of monsters in regular battle rooms.
* The size of monsters in the first and third wave of Danger rooms.
* The speed, health, and attack power of all monsters and bosses.
* The attack power of critters.

The increase in speed is exponential, ramping up slowly in the early stages of a run but increasing rapidly near its end. The increase in attack power is linear and steady. The increase in health, finally, is logarithmic, with health increasing rapidly in the early stages of a run but slowing down in the late stages.

The scaling for monsters, bosses, and critters is done separately.

### Ominous wind

Ominous wind is an event that occurs every four rooms. When wind blows, it increases the difficulty by one stage. Visiting alcoves does not increase difficulty, but exploring all other types of rooms, including dungeon rooms, does.

### Heatmap

In addition to increasing over time, the base difficulty of monsters increases roughly with distance from Home Base. The heatmap only effects speed and attack power, however, and not health.

## Starting levels

The starting difficulty level can be adjusted by clicking the Difficulty Options button in the Quest menu before the start of any run.

The starting level of difficulty increases the initial difficulty stage of a run by the specified number, up to ten stages. In addition, it additively increases the chance of finding shiny pins by 50% of the base chance (or 0.5% per pin) with every level.

Casual Mode is an accessibility setting intended for less-experienced or struggling players. It locks the game at the lowest difficulty and doubles the player's stats from the start of a run, making exploration significantly easier. However, Casual Mode also decreases the shiny pin spawn chance by 50% to a 0.5% chance per pin.

Co-op

Both players share the same perk tree, powerups, pins, samples and records.

When one of the players is defeated, the other player can revive them by pressing "A"("X" on PS controllers) next to them. Doing so will transfer half of the remaining HP to the downed player; up to 5 HP at which HP is given "for free" with no punction on the reviving player. While reviving a player when you have under 5 HP, you will also raise your own HP to 5 HP. If a player is defeated, you cannot leave the area until you revive them.

You can remove the player through the menu or by pressing "B"(circle on PS controller, "F" on keyboard/mouse) at base camp.

## **Steam Remote Play**
