Hard mode quest

Hard Mode Quests are special versions of quests, which are only accessible via Hard mode. To obtain a Hard Mode Quest you first have to complete it's normal pendant. You then can talk to the quest giver again (with Hard mode enabled) in order to get the new quest. Hard Mode Quests add enemies of greater difficulty to the game but have much higher rewards than the normal quests have.
