How to unlock the Oh, the Horror achievement in Resident Evil - Definitive Guide
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You find LESS Ink Ribbons to save your game.
You find LESS ammo for your weapons.
You find LESS health items.
Barry drops off LESS items each time he leaves you gear.
There are 1-2 more zombies in some areas and at times they are better hidden.
User Raezie adds the following. Great mention and thank you!
"This stacks if you beat Real survivor mode if people want to save a playthrough, or if you unlocked the IRL you can use that on hard mode even if you unlocked it on normal."
Clear the game on Hard difficulty or higher with Chris or Jill. Hard is the hardest difficulty outside of the special difficulties and is only accessible by beating the game on Normal difficulty. Enemies take much more damage to put down and deal much more damage to who you’re playing as on top of having less item pick ups.
In order to access hard mode, you need to beat the game once on any difficulty and it will be available on the "Once Again" menu. If you choose to load up the game from the dashboard, you will need to load a cleared save data file or a game that is already on its second+ run. Upon doing that, just quit to the main menu from the start screen and you'll see the Green Eye in the background with "Once Again" featured.
Hard mode changes the enemy startpoints a bit when entering a room, though overall it has the exact same number of enemies as normal (there is an additional Hunter who can appear in the Caves but for some reason he does not appear in Real Survival, at least in my experience). There is significantly less health and ammo, even ink ribbons are of rare abundance.
Which is why in my playthrough recommendation, you should access this difficulty mode with the Infinite Rocket Launcher already in tow. This will make the difficulty much easier to handle, as everything dies in relatively 1-2 hits. I recommend saving your first playthrough as Chris for this mode. While using it as practice for Real Survival might be a good idea due to the locations of some enemies, it's not required and it's not worth the extra stress playing through Hard "twice" with the same constraints.
As a final note, this achievement can also unlock if you complete "Real Survival" mode first.
