Mina the Hollower is a classic-style game that’s pretty challenging and will really put your reflexes and positioning skills to the test. Success depends on careful planning and precise actions during combat and exploration. Even so, you’ll likely encounter tough moments that are hard to beat on your first try. That’s why the game offers a range of difficulty settings you can adjust from the menu to suit your skill level.
You can easily change the difficulty to make the game less tough, or if you’re up for a real challenge, you can tweak the game to make it much harder—so hard that it might drive even seasoned players to frustration. The options are so extensive that you could set it up so you take no damage at all, or make it nearly impossible to win. For most players, though, we’ve picked some recommended settings that balance the experience for an average difficulty, like Easy and Hard Modes. Let’s take a look at how to customize these options.
How to Change the Difficulty in Mina the Hollower
To change the difficulty, go to Settings > Modifiers/Assist. There, you’ll find various options to tweak or view all modifiers at once.
Recommended Easier Settings
If you want a gentler experience, there are many modifiers to help out, such as increased healing, faster leveling, or even complete damage immunity. Here are some of our top picks for making the game feel like an Easy Mode:
- Take Half Damage – Reduces the damage you receive by 50%. You can set it lower, but that might make the game almost too easy, like a story-focused mode.
- Boss Checkpoints – Ensures a safe save point right before each boss so you don’t have to redo every fight from scratch after dying.
- Fast Heal – Lets you recover health quickly, making it easier to survive enemy attacks.
- More Plasma – Grants more Plasma each attack, helping you heal more often.
- No Bone Loss – Prevents losing Bones when you die, making progression less frustrating.
Recommended Harder Settings
If you prefer a tougher challenge, you can make the game more lethal by increasing damage intake or limiting checkpoints. Here are some options for a Hard Mode experience:
- Take 1.5x Damage – Increases damage taken by 50%. There’s an option to make it even higher, but that makes the game very brutal—best for the most hardcore players.
- Bones Rise 20% Slower – It takes longer to level up Bones, slowing down your progress.
- Less Plasma – Reduces Plasma gained from attacks, making healing less effective.
No matter how you decide to play, the main goal is to enjoy the game. Pick the settings that suit your skills and make your experience fun. Get ready, step into the game, and have a great time exploring Mina’s world!
Mina the Hollower is now available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
