Tackling the hardest difficulty playthrough means every enemy hit is a critical threat, resources are scarce, and retrying a section five times is normal. You have to learn attack patterns, manage stamina, and actually use those buff items you hoarded. It's brutal, but beating a boss after hours of failures feels incredible.
