Kakarot Ring

Play Elden Ring as Goku, with DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT's own Goku in the Lands Between: his models, animations, voice, ki sounds and Kakarot's field HUD, all read from your own Kakarot install.

What you get

• Goku's body in Kakarot's gi, built onto the Tarnished's skeleton. He fights with his fists.
• Kakarot's animations: Goku stands, walks, runs, falls, flies, guards, dodges and strikes with his own Kakarot animations, including a four-hit combo that follows your attacks.
• Forms: Base, Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3 (Kakarot's own heads), plus Super Saiyan God, Super Saiyan Blue and Ultra Instinct as recoloured forms. Each has its own damage, speed, defence and Ki costs, and unlocks with Goku's level or the bosses you've felled.
• Kaioken x1 / x3 / x20: a red aura and more power, paid for in health over time.
• Levels from Runes: every Rune you've ever earned is Goku's XP, so his level never drops. Each level raises his max Ki and how fast he charges.
• Ki: never refills by itself. Hold Charge to power up with Kakarot's stance, aura and sound; that's the only way to fill it. Melee costs a little Ki; Super Attacks, High-Speed Dash and transforming cost more.
• Kakarot-style flight: jump, then jump again in the air to fly wherever the camera looks. Hold Dash for High-Speed Dash. Double-tap Jump to land: Goku flies down to the ground.
• Super Attack palette (4 slots, changeable in game): Super Kamehameha, Ki Blast Barrage, Dragon Fist, Instant Transmission, Spirit Sword and Spirit Bomb, at your locked-on target.
• Kakarot's HUD: portrait, level, HP and Ki bars, the dragon-border radar and the action prompts. Elden Ring's own HUD is off in Goku mode.
• Goku's voice and Kakarot's sound effects; Elden Ring keeps its music.

Notes

• Needs Elden Ring 1.17.1 (exe 2.7.1.0) and DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT on Steam. Base game only: no DLC is needed or used.
• Single player and offline: Elden Ring starts through ModEngine2 with Easy Anti-Cheat off.
• Goku mode plays on its own copy of your save (ER0000.kr2), so your normal save is never written.
• No game content is shipped. The first Play takes about a minute while it reads Goku from your Kakarot install.
