After beating the game, nightmare difficulty unlocks. Timer starts when you enter the portal again. Everything is allowed to be unlocked. Taking upgrades in the Waldgang is not allowed for the first map.

I added nightmare but the rules will not work.

Reason: No upgrades only works with video proof of killing the spider and then continue playing. If you want to play at a different time = leave the game and scontinue, there is no way to check if upgrades have been purchased. You can buy items from an NPC, enter the level and leave. If you then press "Continue", you still have the item.

Rule should be:

The timer starts either when

• you enter Waldgang after defeating Lord Sorux.

or

• after pressing continue and entering Waldgang press escape to show your items. Timer starts after leaving the menu.

I changed the rules to:

The timer starts either when

• entering Waldgang after defeating The Spider aka Lord Sorux on Hardcore Mode (must be on video).

or

• pressing continue in the main menu and entering Waldgang (must press the Escape key immediately to display your items).

For everything else, you would have to separate the categories for players who continue playing and those who need a break and continue playing later.
