📋 About This Mod
Not for online use, sadly you will get banned. Just for single players who want to parry from the get go with the deprived class.
To install, just drag the contents of the zip file into the 'Game' folder of DS3's directory. Overwrite when asked.
To make it easier to uninstall, I recommend making a backup of your 'Data0.bdt' file in your Game Directory so you can replace the modified version later if you ever wish to.
A small mod for Dark Souls 3 that replaces the Deprived class's starting wooden plank shield with a parry shield offering the best parry iframes. Simple quality-of-life tweak for players who want a more viable starting parry tool. Lightweight and easy to install.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Direct upgrade for Deprived starters – no more useless plank.
- Best parry iframes means more forgiving parry timing for new players.
- Tiny mod, no bloat – just changes one starting item.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 6 endorsements – niche appeal, not widely tested.
- Last updated in 2022 – might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
For Dark Souls 3 players who enjoy starting as Deprived but hate the useless wooden plank. Also great for parry practice – the generous iframes make learning parries less punishing. Skip if you never play Deprived or prefer the challenge of the plank.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your original save or at least the game's .dcx files before modding.
- If you're using a mod manager like Mod Engine 2, drop the mod into the mod folder and launch the game with the mod engine.
- Test the parry timing on the first hollows – the extra iframes should make it feel noticeably more forgiving.
