Compatible with The Convergence mod version 2.1
NG+ Changes:
- Adjusted difficulty, changed stat balance of enemies when scaled
World Changes:
- Moved hidden enemies/reduced gimmicky surprise attack enemies
- Standardized FP and HP recovery on armors, corrected FP regen % rows in params (unsure about in-game effect, but appeared to be using wrong field for % max FP regen)

- Slowed down Beheaded Knight's animations to match their vanilla Champion Gundyr equivalents
- Made Beheaded Knight parryable; equivalent to vanilla Champion Gundyr
- Slowed Down Archdruid Caimar's animations so he doesn't consistently chain attacks with incompatible dodge windows, although phase 2 seems to be bugged
- Dramatically reduced the damage of Archdruid Caimar's essence drain due to homing orbs often making damage unavoidable in some form
- Slowed Down Lilianne's animations to reduce the clutter of area damage effects from her attacks (and because no Gael)

Weapon/Shield Changes:
- Removed White Mist's frosty sound effect when appearing in the player's hand due to it being potentially ear-piercing and replaying every time the model disappears and reappears, such as when using Estus (found in fdp_smain_dlc1.fsb if you want to put it back in)
- Decreased the weight of Lorian's Greatshield significantly
- Increased the damage of Chaos Dual Swords, Sellsword Twin Blades, Warden Twin Blades, Onikiri and Ubadachi, and Frigid Curved Sword
