Age of Rings

Age of Rings brings Elden Ring gear into Dark Souls III. Every item is handed to every character once, new or existing, the first time it loads.

What you get

• 15 weapons with Elden Ring stats, at full upgrade strength and with no stat requirements: Moonveil, Rivers of Blood, Hand of Malenia, Blasphemous Blade, Dark Moon Greatsword, Sword of Night and Flame, Bloodhound's Fang, Starscourge Greatsword, Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear, Godslayer's Greatsword, Black Knife, Meteoric Ore Blade, Maliketh's Black Blade, Carian Regal Scepter and Golden Order Seal
• 5 shields: Fingerprint Stone Shield, Erdtree Greatshield, Brass Shield, Carian Knight's Shield and Buckler
• 6 armor sets: Raging Wolf, Carian Knight, Malenia's, Black Knife, Bull-Goat and Maliketh's
• 8 spells: Rock Sling, Carian Greatsword, Night Comet, Comet Azur, Flame of the Fell God, Black Flame, Ancient Dragons' Lightning Spear and Golden Vow
• Elden Ring skill animations on L2 for 10 of the weapons, and Moonveil's wave from the katana stance
• Bleed, frost and Destined Death build-up, and healing on hit for Blasphemous Blade
• Jump at any speed, and one extra attunement slot
• Elden Ring icons, names and descriptions in 13 languages

How it works

Nothing from either game is in the download. On the first Play, setup reads the models, textures, animations, stats and text from your own Dark Souls III and Elden Ring installs and builds the mod on your PC. That takes a minute or two, then the game starts. Neither install is changed.

What you need

• Dark Souls III 1.15.2 with both DLCs
• Elden Ring installed

Good to know

• Skill effects and spells use the nearest Dark Souls III effect, because the game cannot load Elden Ring's effect files. Each spell casts as a Dark Souls III spell under its Elden Ring name, icon and FP cost.
• Skills are one press: no follow-ups or charging.
• This is a single-player mod with no networking of its own. If you have Seamless Co-op for Dark Souls III installed in the game folder (a separate mod, not included), it is loaded alongside, and friends who also run Age of Rings can join you through it. Do not take the mod onto the official servers.
• The jump key is the game's own Jump binding (options, Key Bindings, Move).

Python's embeddable runtime (python.org, Python Software Foundation License) is included unmodified to run setup.
