IF YOU HAVE TO PRESS ANYTHING LIKE IF YOUR RESPAWNING BACK THEN PRESS F8 TO SWITCH BACK TO THE TARNISHED!!!!
The real V1, in your real Elden Ring. Both games run at once: ULTRAKILL runs V1 with its own movement, guns, arms, sounds, HUD and style meter, and Elden Ring draws the world and its enemies. V1's arms, guns and HUD are drawn over Elden Ring's picture.
What you get
- V1's whole kit: walk, dash, slide, jump, wall-jump, slam, punch, every weapon and arm (unlocked for this mode only; your ULTRAKILL save isn't changed).
- Elden Ring's world, solid: V1 stands, slides and wall-jumps on Elden Ring's own collision.
- Real fights: Elden Ring's enemies take V1's hits and show health bars; their hits hurt V1. Blood heals you, the whiplash pulls you to them, coins chain onto them. Bosses can be hit from across their arena (yes, Radahn too).
- Spawn menu: Elden Ring's bosses (Radahn, Malenia, Godrick, the Elden Beast...) and all of ULTRAKILL's spawnables, plus ULTRAKILL's cheats, in one searchable menu.
[ kills only what you spawned.
- Elden Ring still works: rest at graces, open doors, pick up items with ULTRAKILL's interact key; walk through fog walls; F8 plays the Tarnished. If V1 dies, the Tarnished dies (runes drop, grace respawn).

Anti-cheat and online play
- ULTRA RING is offline only. Melty starts Elden Ring through ModEngine2 with Easy Anti-Cheat off, the standard way Elden Ring mods run. Nothing in the mod touches, bypasses or hides from anti-cheat.
- Your online game is untouched: nothing is put into Elden Ring's own folder, so starting Elden Ring from Steam gives you the normal online game with Easy Anti-Cheat on.
- Your real save is safe: modded play uses its own save file (ER0000.ultraring.sl2), copied from yours the first time, so a modded character never goes online.
- Never copy the mod's files into Elden Ring's folder or play it online. Modded play online can get you banned.
- ULTRAKILL has no anti-cheat; its side is a normal BepInEx plugin.
Good to know
- Collisions can fail sometimes. If you get stuck, press V (Noclip) to fly out, then V again to land. We are attempting to fix this problem, though we haven't found a solution yet.
- Needs Elden Ring 2.7.1 and ULTRAKILL. Two games at once is heavy: lower Elden Ring's graphics if it lags.
