  2. IMPORTANT: Keep the data folder and the .exe in the same directory.

  3. Run FFXV_Enemy_Stats.exe.

  4. Enter your desired multipliers (e.g., 2.0 for HP, 1.5 for Attack).

  5. Click GENERATE MOD FILE.

  6. Save the file as resident-character.win32.bins.

Installation (Custom)

You can install the generated file using one of these two methods:

METHOD A: Using Flagrum (Recommended)

Requires the "Hard Difficulty" mod or any mod that modifies autobuild.earc installed via Flagrum.

  1. Open Flagrum.

  2. Select your mod in the list.

  3. Expand the file tree: common > autobuild.earc.

  4. Find the file: data/character/bin/resident-character.win32.bins.

  5. Click the Pencil Icon (Edit) next to it.

  6. Select the file you generated with my tool.

METHOD B: Manual Installation (ffxvScout)

Requires ffxvScout tool - https://sayhijon.wordpress.com/portfolio/project-earc/

  1. Open ffxvScout.

  2. Click on Create Archive and then on Open Archive.

  3. Navigate to the data folder included inside my mod's ZIP.

  4. Select the autobuild.earc file provided there.

  5. Once loaded, find this path in the list:
    data/character/bin/resident-character.win32.bins

  6. Left-click on that file and select Replace File.

  7. Select the file you generated with my tool (resident-character.win32.bins).

  8. Click on Save Archive.

  9. Save the file as autobuild.earc (save it to your Desktop or a temporary folder first).

  10. Go to your game installation folder: .../FINAL FANTASY XV/datas/common/

  11. BACKUP your original autobuild.earc.

  12. Copy your new autobuild.earc into that folder.

 

Notes

  • Not all mobs's HP are perfectly multiplied due to complexity of the formula in this game, but the result is very close.
