Cursed 2 - Hardcore Playthrough and New Ending (No Commentary)

Cursed 2 by DisasterSquad received a new update adding a number of extras along with a new hardcore mode that makes the game notably more challenging. You have one life with a cursed ring that slowly drains your HP and the jar can only be filled once with healing juice. Level ups don’t heal you and if you die your save is deleted. A new ending is gained for completing the true ending on hardcore. After a normal run to de-rust I played through and was able to win. However, I grinded significantly to make the knight fight trivial as that’s the only fight I wasn’t confident with. The few other points that remain difficult are the skull puzzle (if you get bad RNG) and the Malus chase if you don’t pay attention and have Jennifer die. Early game is particularly rough since you need level ups to boost your mind stat to use the healing scroll but until several points are invested in mind the healing is really weak and any hits you take can force you to risk the run or wait a long while to heal
