How to unlock the Formidable achievement in Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch - Definitive Guide

Hard mode = Enemies do at least 2x damage (it seemed to me like some spikes did 4x damage, but I'm not 100% certain). Ability tree takes more points to fill (54 ability points to fill the entire tree on Normal, 75 points to fill the entire tree on Hard). I don't think there were any other major differences, but I did die twice as much as my WORST normal runs these days (died about 15 times on hard mode), so it does make a difference.

I'll update this if I nail down any other specific changes, but that's the main stuff. It's really not that bad. I would suggest exploring for Life and Energy cells, but don't do your 100% clear run on Hard because there aren't enough Ability Cells on the map to fill up your ability tree on all 3 branches. Focus on the top branch (triple jump) and bottom branch (stronger spirit flame and other powers).

OP: all good points, thanks for the tips on which branches to focus on. I've noticed the same things. But if one were so inclined to do both hard mode & 100% abilities in the same run they could just keep farming enemies to do so. Would be a bitch & take a while lol, but it is an option.

I love this game. The hard mode attempt was my 4th run. It only added extra 30ish minutes to my “under 3hrs” run which was 2:35. I barely upgraded my skill trees - I think I just got till the auto-pick ups and rekindle the save points upgrades, maybe 2 in combat tree but would do without it tbh. Another difference I noticed: The escape sequences have no checkpoints in between compared to EASY mode. I will play this game 5th time tomorrow for the no deaths run :))

What happens if I try to do Ori on easy and change the difficulty to Hard at the end?
