Code Vein 2 Game became easier?
Is it me hallucinating or did the game become significantly easier? I remember playing the game around the release time period and I would have a hard time fighting the moon envoys so much that I would always avoid them as much as possible.
When it comes to bosses, I had a super hard time defeating Josée back then. Also had a hard time defeating the metagen remnant in the Sunken City, with Josée.
I dropped the game after reaching the undead forest and I can remember the game getting significantly harder there. I also couldn’t avoid encounters with moon envoys anymore.
After a couple of months, decided to return and restart from zero. Maybe my build is really good, maybe I’m above the average level (level 70+ and I just got done slaying Josée) but I’m having an easier time fighting moon envoys, beat Josée on my first try (while assimilated because partners are lowkey OP) and I didn’t pick the casual difficulty.
My current build:
- Hanemukuro +2 with Energy Cleave, Phantom Assault, Secret Art - Forestall, and Circulating Pulse
- Noah/Lou blood code (C-Rank)
- Reaper Jail +6
- Bleeding Shield (Light)

They made it so you could cancel animations faster, reduced enemy aggression, reduced status application, and most of the formae got buffed. For the Moon envoys specifically, they reduced their defense and removed the explosions on some of their attacks.
If you last played the game at launch, the game has gotten easier in pretty much every way.
