About
Lords of the Fallen's bosses have washed up on the Sons of the Forest island, and they don't announce themselves.
Pieta, Tancred, the Hushed Saint, Adyr and more roam the island with their own models, animations and attacks, read from your copy of Lords of the Fallen. You'll run into one while gathering logs, and its name and health bar will come up as it charges.
Features
Wandering bosses: 13 Lords of the Fallen bosses, plus their second phases and companions, roam the island and hunt you down.
Boss loot: each kill drops the boss's weapon, a piece of its armour and its Remembrance.
Empowered weapons: put a Remembrance and its boss's weapon on the crafting mat to make an Empowered version.
Cave finds(new): each trip into a cave has a rare chance of a Lords of the Fallen weapon lying somewhere ahead, glowing. There are six to find, from the Ruiner Axe to the Crimson Rector Sword.
Starter kit(new): a new game starts with a Compact Pistol, a Pump-Action Shotgun and 50 rounds for each. Friends who join your world get the kit once too.
Co-op: play with up to 8 friends through Sons of the Forest's own Multiplayer menu. The host runs the bosses and everyone sees the same fight. Everyone needs the mashup.
What you need
Sons of the Forest and Lords of the Fallen, both on Steam.
On the first Play, a converter reads the bosses from your own Lords of the Fallen install (about a minute). No content from either game is included in the download.
Known rough edges
Some boss cloth and capes can stretch during certain attacks.
Co-op hasn't yet been tested with a full group. Please report anything odd.
