15 Times Players Accidentally Made Video Games Harder

ETERNAL DARKNESS – THE BLUE ARTIFACT

At a certain point in the game, Eternal Darkness gives you a choice of picking one of three artifacts, and it’s a choice that defines how the rest of the game is going to go. And if you’re looking for a challenge, you should look no further than the blue artifact, or the Essence of Ulyaoth. Not only will this mean fighting against enemies from that point forward that do more magic damage, these enemies will also do more damage to your health and sanity meters. The blue artifact is actually recommended for repeat playthroughs, but if you unknowingly pick it on your first playthrough, you’re surely in for a bit of a shock.
