>In this optional game mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, you'll step into Bohemia stripped of modern comforts. **Your position won't appear on the map. The compass has no directions. Fast travel is gone.** You'll have to explore like a real medieval traveller: with your eyes, your wits, and maybe a few questions for the locals... **if they even feel like helping you**.  
  
To start, **you'll also choose at least three permanent negative perks**. Want a louder, smellier Henry? Choose Sweaty or Heavy-Footed. Want to wake up in a random spot after every nap? Try Somnambulant. **Some perks affect combat. Others mess with your inventory.** All of them make survival just that bit more precarious.

>This isn't just a difficulty spike, **it's a shift in mindset**. No hand-holding. No safety nets. Just you, the land, and whatever chaos you’ve chosen to carry.  
  
Hardcore Mode isn't for everyone. But for those who crave immersion, tension, and a deeper connection to the world, we promise: **it hits different**.  
  
**Still playing with the compass on? Maybe it’s time to take it off**.
