Do Neophyte if You're Testing out the Waters
If you're new to the genre of ARPG, you can start off using Neophyte. On this setting,damage taken is halved and health regenerates faster. You can keep using this until you are comfortable and ready to take on Normal Mode.
Play Normal Mode to Experience the Game as it Should Be
Normal Mode is the ideal way to play the game. This lets you experience the game as intended, balancing enemy difficulty with the story as you progress.
Take on Hardcore if you Want a Challenge
For players looking for a challenge, take on Hardcore. In this setting, you get no second chances, once your character dies, they are permanently deceased and will no longer be playable.
How to Adjust Difficulty
Adjust Difficulty at the Ritual Shrine
Use the Ritual of Athena to Switch From Neophyte to Normal Mode
After reaching the Pyrgos Village, if you are ready to take on the game without training wheels. Go to the Ritual Shrine and use the Ritual of Athena to upgrade your difficulty from Neophyte to Normal.
Take note that this decision is final and cannot be reversed, so make sure that you are ready before you do this.
On A Strange Shore Quest Walkthrough
Adjust Enemy Difficulty Using the Rituals of Ares

You can also raise the minimum level of all enemies using Ritual of Ares. This adjusts all enemies, in all areas, to your current level.
