Overview
Maybe you want some easy mode for story so to say, or even easier than that, maybe you wanna test something or mess around with what’s (scarcely) available. That’s like a couple edits away, for solo hardmode it’ll work too. By my own experience i’d say hardmode in some cases would be just unbearable and quite super slow run anyway, if you try do it all so fairly vs randomness and weirdness. You could encounter utterly deadly traps aND lag (in previous version at least). Even if masochistic, you may have still rushed to check obscured story / ends.Or after all, after a while you just want some speed up aid in trying varied walkthroughs, since this is not truly entirely roguelike, you could normally save, and lacking saves is very bad, at least when most decent prepared runs are few hours at best (or 4-8, just compare with 30 min requirement to save legarde griffithovich)..(some texts / extracts could be from wikia / fandom thingy)Super Smash Party Edition
Start
you have to become agile butterly, sting like a hornet and you’re all out of vinland potato
ok, let’s begin with what’s where and what is extremely helpful
filefolder (your edits can work anytime you reloaded game with them, should backup small stuff too):
(partition like F:)(steam / steamlib)steamappscommonFear & Hungerwwwdata
here’s about everything:
Map086.json – here’s pretty much all endings final narration texts, but you should be inhuman already (not yet) to read any easily
Map142.json – this has some very deep dark depths’ text such as a chat with traces of gro-goroth and somewhat similar finality of the strange girl that ended up around these places and if you brought her there. this is it, near endings a/B iirc
CommonEvents.json – some descriptions when walking around and such? probably text overdose and hard to tell apart / pinpoint unless you seen specific class event in game, otherwise they may be based on map files insted, which are further confusing (but get Notepad++ and you could search em all decently in batch)
Troops.json – it’s like combat action descriptions and such, in theory you could try pin some there, to check full possibilities of some enemies, what you could miss always, but were interested in
Enemies.json – should have enemy parts’ stats maybe, basically HPs, you could cut these dramatically for some absurd enemies like GRO-GOROTH REMAINS / some weeb samurai ghost @ cursed sword in tree / FINNISH BOSSES OF GYM OF GODS / MUTATING GOD OF HUNGER AND FEAR YOU HAVE BEGOTTEN..cruel age, C R U E L A G E they say..
Armors.json – some armors, accessories stats mostly unused even, though some accessories are real strong (like iron shakespeare armor golem soul trinket by soul stone)
Items.json – descriptions, effects of all usual items in game or close to that. that means some you could swap, magnification however may be not necessarily possible
Weapons.json – it is probably weapons.. usually have nothing other than damage / strength boost, but you could add that super easy on particular needs even, just borking normal case and equip / reequipping it can cause some your HP / ‘moralemana / sanity’ to reset to some minimums iirc
—-
now how could it be shifted so that you can do near anything? truth is that game kind of allows that anytime anyway, balance could vary, then some important such expendable universal use loot is rare / could be cut up to entirely by random coin toss..
the answer is item property codes and such – you may do ingenious and minimal hack of placing magic properties on decently available mundane items, like dried mushroom = empty scroll (in fact, a WISH scroll, that may sort of bypass most requirements even), tomato = book of enlightenment (normally unavailable in hardmode i think, otherwise you can save 4 real), and of course buff at least some weapons, nice candidates could be iron sword / dagger / some skeleton arm / meat cleaver / miasma, etc. then you DO one-shot in theory, but in practice some hulks are unstoppable like this, buffing all stats can minimize traumatic misses for you; also if all buffed, body and mind stat / ‘hp’ caps could rise dramatically, but usually just happens after hack, equip and could be some actions needed too
so some of best idea is
dried mushroom = empty scroll
tomato = book of enlightenment
meat cleaver (2h guard wep / reptoids?) = some stats like all 666 / 999, that’s sort of maximum, but hps go up to 10000 so you could tune the value like from
{“id”:2,”animationId”:2,”description”:”It’s not especially sharp, but lesser foes mightnbe intimidated by it’s dried blood stains.”,”etypeId”:1,”traits”:[{“code”:31,”dataId”:2,”value”:0},{“code”:22,”dataId”:0,”value”:0},{“code”:13,”dataId”:29,”value”:0.5}],”iconIndex”:203,”name”:”Meat cleaver”,”note”:””,”params”:[0,0,30,0,0,0,0,0],”price”:500,”wtypeId”:2},
[0,0,30,0,0,0,0,0] is obviously stats where 30 is damage boost (otherwise, maybe chars have inherent strength somewhat variable, higher on ‘marriage’ abominations, BUT fists are about only ‘blunt’ modificator and greatly cuts at least some head dmg if any), the bad news is that it’s hugely nerfed from 70 iirc
[999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999] – you could safely put that for all weapons in file, since thats only of your party chars iirc (in Weapons.json)
—-
now most importantly, open Items.json (notepad++ recommended)
currently it is line 64 so paste replacement instead of it, will make tomato save your soul and memory (temporarily)
{“id”:64,”animationId”:0,”consumable”:true,”damage”:{“critical”:false,”elementId”:0,”formula”:”0″,”type”:0,”variance”:20},”description”:”The color of the tomato is a little pale, suggestingnit hasn’t seen much sun.”,”effects”:[{“code”:44,”dataId”:22,”value1″:1,”value2″:0}],”hitType”:0,”iconIndex”:229,”itypeId”:2,”name”:”Tomato”,”note”:””,”occasion”:2,”price”:0,”repeats”:1,”scope”:0,”speed”:0,”successRate”:100,”tpGain”:0},
currently it is line 67 so paste replacement instead of it, will make dried mushrom wish empty
{“id”:65,”animationId”:0,”consumable”:true,”damage”:{“critical”:false,”elementId”:0,”formula”:”0″,”type”:0,”variance”:20},”description”:”A dried mushroom. Goes without spoiling for a longnperiod of time.”,”effects”:[{“code”:44,”dataId”:84,”value1″:1,”value2″:0}],”hitType”:0,”iconIndex”:232,”itypeId”:2,”name”:”Dried mushroom”,”note”:””,”occasion”:2,”price”:0,”repeats”:1,”scope”:0,”speed”:0,”successRate”:96,”tpGain”:0},
you’ll then be likely finding plenty of these items, their nutritional value would be small (they are in food barrels usually at random or some stuff like mossy ground in dark forgotten version of ma’habre)
Speedrun????
Key idea? time is FOOD and STRESS (so grab some wine or else), some in forests and cities say that’s ultra realistic
then you’d want awareness, orientation – positioning, effective solutions (like, you can roast meat on fire for super snack or devour most enemies for full yum), etc. one of these is not forgetting *somewhere* often enough are potentially hidden or plain treacherous path weak floor holes that tend to throw you somewhere down, could be even some 2 floors with little drawbacks from fall itself (surface courtyard -> 2-3 lvl prison for example, some ‘tree’ is also mostly navigable just like that, that probably goes to skeleton and ~7 lvl ‘catacombs’, like by initial goal and entrance to city of gods and such)
some of the only thing you can’t wish iirc is CUBE of depths for that ancient gods’ door. however then maybe you could wreck salmonsnake ‘boss’ for probably blue cave dwellers’ king crown, then have a chill walk (any shady tricks and they’ll slam you again)
..
one time, they were just all dead. maybe that was ultra slow pace, but who could slaughter them all so easy? no one knows maybe, but there were horribly morphed moonless guards, maybe out of mouth of rotting / corrupted depths primordial tree? and you can talk with insects swarming there, they want some feast..
(next should be some better advice and OP tricks n such, one day)

Vial – you can drink (wine / blood from bucket / water?), refill, also if you took some sort of black bile with it, that’s for some alchemy recipe, etc. you could even make a fetus to feign blood sacrifice iirc

Endings..stuff..
Files of interest should be Map086.json + Map142.json or so, but chances are this is forbidden knowledge and will craze your eyes, it needs some extraction..

E – escape?
“You escaped the dungeons of Fear & Hunger. Part of you still doesn’t believe this to be the truth… You can still smell all the blood and the gore that seeps through the seams of the ancient stone walls of the dungeon… You can still feel the gaze of the hundreds of past warriors sacrificed in the pools of blood, now left to rot… You can still feel the pressure of the never-ending darkness that the underground caverns offered. You can still hear the distant flapping of the wings… You still feel dizzy just imagining the rail tracks that lead poor souls deeper to the madness… All the way to the altar of darkness… You delved too deep, you know it yourself too. No man could ever return from that deep… You take a one more look at the fortress just to make sure you really did make it out…”
NO WAY CASUAL
—-
D – new god?
“You never escaped the dungeons of fear and hunger. Instead you chose eternal void and darkness as a new god.”
sort of complex ending, most content is before that last moment and varied on choices
—-
C – ?
“You defeated Le’garde, the propheticed one with delusions of creating a new era with his godhood. After his defeat you wake up outside the vile fortress that trapped you before… It all seems so hazy… Did all those events really happen? You can still smell all the blood and the gore that seeps through the seams of the ancient stone walls of the dungeon… You can still feel the gaze of the hundreds of past warriors sacrificed in the pools of blood, now left to rot… You can still feel the pressure of the never-ending darkness that the underground caverns offered… Scarred for life, you run away from the dungeon. Hounds howl on your tracks, but you are way past fearing such small dangers that dwell under the sun. Horrors of the past never leave you alone though. Every night you wake up from restless dreams where you are forever trapped in the bloody corridors of the dungeon… The dreams become more and more lifelike as time goes on, until you cannot tell the difference between a lucid dream and the real world. In the end your fate was to dwell these dungeons forever.”
—-
C-II??
“You left the dungeons. Contrary to all common sense, you made it out alive. Your return to the civilization would go without festivity. You were back to the square one essentially. Your long journey to the black gained you nothing. The only thing you brought with you was the bigger understanding of all the darkness this world hid beneath the human eyes. Not a day would pass by that you didn’t curse this knowledge. Just the idea drove you towards madness with each passing day. After several years living in seclusion, you started hearing rumours about the return of the Knights of the Midnight Sun and their now legendary captain Le’garde. This man with a mysterious aura was unifying the western world at a rapid rate. It’s almost as if the gods themselves were on his side. Choosing the right side of the coin at every possible turn. Eventually and inevitably he was throned as the Yellow King and he would bring prosperity to the western world. The kind that had never been seen before. You were never fully convinced however. The name ”Yellow King” left you puzzled and something about his campaigns gave you uncanny feelings. On your older days, in the Kingdom of Rondon, you finally caught a glimpse of Le’garde after multiple decades had gone by since you two departed your ways. You finally understood where the name ”Yellow King” came from. Le’garde still looked the same age. Almost exactly like you remembered. The only difference was his sickly yellow skin coloured by the dark green hue of the endless void. He was not a human. This was not man taking reigns to themselves from the gods. This was something entirely different.”
—-
B – older god?
“You never escaped the dungeons of fear and hunger. No one ever heard about you again. Without a trace you vanish from this world. It’s almost as if you fell out of history books altogether. Your screams of terror never reached anyone. You long quest only gave you hints about the greater scheme of things. You learned a fraction of the secrets the ancient world holds… But even that is more than what is meant for human ears.”
—-
A – god of fear and hunger?
“You never escaped the dungeons… Your efforts would go unsung, but your part in the greater scheme of things was vital nevertheless. You had a vital part in the birth of a new god. One that is not a mere new god but one that rivals the older ones. You had the first hand experience of witnessing the coming paradigm shift the world is to go through in the new era. An era of the newborn god, the god of fear and hunger. They’ll come know this day as the cruel age. An age where a humanborn god would finally rise after millenias of mankind’s struggle as the feeble new gods. Maybe your fate was an act out of mercy? The last traces of compassion the newborn god shed after her true ascension. Your demise was peaceful after all…”

S – hardmode cahara (mercenary)? // “endingsS_mercenary”
“You managed to escape the dungeons of Fear & Hunger alive. It is a feat unheard of before. Not only that, you also managed to find valuable loot that would guarantee a wealthy future. The long journey back to the civilization felt like a lifetime. You could not sleep as you constantly felt eyes lurking in the shadows of the night. The darkness, even though it was lighter than anything you experienced in the dungeons still sent shivers down your spine. As you finally found your way to the Kingdom of Rondon, everything felt unreal. You could not understand how people would lead their everyday lives simultaneously as a great evil existed beneath their feet. You sold the ancient crown to the highest bidder. The amount of silver you got from it exceeded your expectations greatly. You also felt better getting rid of such unholy artefact, as it kept reminding you about the darkness. You rose from the lowest class scum to a noble is a heartbeat. You bought your wife free from the labor she forced to at the red light district and settled down in a fancy manor. You got everything you ever dreamed of. You got most of the noble families on a leash thanks to your great wealth. Taking any breadcrumb you threw at them. You were living in the most extravagant manor with your wife with no seeming worry about the future. Still… You could not sleep. Every passing moment you would be grabbing on the hilt of your sword and staring at the dark corners of your room… … Just waiting for the inevitable. You knew that the darkness you witnessed would leave no survivors. It would still come for you one day.”
—-
S – hardmode dude (outlander)? // endingsS_outlander
“You got everything you came for. The captain of the cursed mercenary army was dead. You got the unholy artefact back. You also made sure that the evil that lurked in the darkness was vanquished. You slaughtered every single creature that held true power in the dungeons… However, you know the darkness doesn’t end to the dungeons. You’ve witnessed the same evil in the far-away continent of Vinland and that same corrupting force lurks in the every dark corner of the world. It is restless and relentless. For you to stop it from spreading, you also need to be restless and relentless. From the moment you escaped the dungeons of Fear & Hunger, you dedicated your life in hunting down those that are concieved by the darkness. You would hunt down all the macabre beasts that hid from the eyes of the oblivious western world. The beasts would come to know your name.”
—-
S – hardmode knightgirl (knight)?
“You could not save your loved one from the cruel fate the dungeons had ready for him, but you succeeded in the next best thing – resurrecting Le’garde. He shed his human skin, mocking his past existence as a mortal. Apparently whatever he went through after his passing had changed the man completely. You didn’t mind his changed looks, but mentally he was someone else as well. He had turned into a beast, craving to unleash the terror and suffering he experienced to the outside world. The man claimed to have risen to godhood, but as you examined his behaviour as a warlord, he resembled more of a bloodthirsty ghoul… Still, you were reunited with your loved one. That was all that mattered to you. Maybe with his new crude looks and way of thinking, he could finally be just yours completely?”
—
S – hardmode enki (dark priest).
“You set your foot to the ascended plane where you met the reflection of yourself. A form that had taken a shape of a new god. The reflection was what you were to become. You felt a great lust for power take you over. It would have been so easy to give in and learn secrets that are only whispered among mortals. But you came prepared. You had been warned about the lust. You declined the godhood and managed to step out of the plane that was coloured by the green hue that radiated from underground pits. It’s not like your ascension wasn’t without its merits even if you withdrew at the last second. You saw the reflection after all and understood its intents. With your newly found knowledge, you took the grand libraries of the ancient city to be your own. The library already contained more information one could digest in multiple lifetimes, but lucky for you, you discovered the secrets of a prolonged life pretty soon. You found out how the older gods had left this world long time ago. You had taken care of the new gods that resided in the city of the gods… You did not need godhood to chase after the true enlightenment. You did not need godhood to become the most powerful mortal to exist.”
