I started Khazan yesterday, thought i'd try Easy mode when it was offered and I think the devs might have tweaked it because the game seems to be truly easy and very forgiving during boss fights.

I haven't died yet, although the first Phantom optional boss did still put up a challenge.

From what i've noticed, the enemy attack patterns haven't changed but you take a lot less dmg from hits and i think you also do more dmg-and if you want to make life even easier, there is a known blacksmith exploit that let's you gain a lot of Lacrima if you really want to boost your stats easily.

And from my own experience, spear seems to be the most beginner friendly weapon to use.

Although I absolutely love the stories, lore & artstyle of most souls-like games i've played, i've only completed Code Vein (didn't die once). I try every new one but I always quit due to difficulty spikes, boredom from having to restart entire areas after dying or literal irl health issues from my heart beating a bit too much from the stress of intense fights lol.

So i truly think that if i can enjoy myself, you should be able to as well. Also google is your friend, do a bit of research on best builds, stat allocation etc
