Fire Emblem: Three Houses sure is one of the most challenging games in the series, but for those who still think the hardest difficulty available isn’t hard enough, it seems there will be Maddening and Infernal difficulty modes that are coming in the near future.
According to the recently datamined report by DeathChaos25, the two new modes that are coming are called Maddening and Infernal. Both new difficulties promise to be extremely challenging.
Here’s the summary of his findings:
There is a higher difficulty called Infernal, but it is literally unplayable, maps either have no units (rendering it impossible to complete) or the maps DOES have units but they’re all Lv99 with insane stats.
Despite all my hacking and prodding, I had not actually played the game, so I thought it’d be fun to do my first playthrough in Lunatic/Maddening.
I’ve been asking other players who have played on Hard to know the differences, and (so far) the only map that really sticks out is the 3rd map, with the first “real” battle vs Kostas in the canyon.
For some reason this map has enemies with 11 AS everywhere, and Kostas himself can actually also move, and poses a very big threat (for example, he could ORKO all of my units from full HP with the exception of Petra and Byleth).
The biggest common example seems to be that, all archer enemies have Poison Strike, while all Thief enemies have pass. e is a higher difficulty called Infernal, but it is literally unplayable, maps either have no units (rendering it impossible to complete) or the maps DOES have units but they’re all Lv99 with insane stats.Despite all my hacking and prodding, I had not actually played the game, so I thought it’d be fun to do my first playthrough in Lunatic/Maddening.
