After completing all of Chapter 3 once, this mode is unlocked. EX difficulty allows the player to instantly defeat most monsters in one hit. However, in events where the battle leads to the player's defeat, such as the first fights of Alice and Tamamo, they will take damage normally. Despite the monster's instant loss in storyline scripted events where they actually lose because of something else, such as the first fight with Granberia, Alma Elma, Erubetie, Undine, and Salamander, the dialogue will continue as if the player never actually defeated them; for example Granberia's defeat results Alice immediately butting in, Alma Elma reacts as if she used her hands to catch Demon Skull Beheading, Erubetie reacts as if Undine blocked her attack, and Undine and Salamander immediately say Luka passed their test.
