📋 About This Mod
Less Blood on Character + More Red Blood
This mod decreases the blood on character, so that it doesn't get completely covered in blood. It also adjustes the colour of the blood to red.
This mod was inspired by snoozer47's Guts blood mod.
Make sure to set blood in-game to "ON" (this won't work with blood set to mild!!)
This mod also doesn't change the blood splatter on walls and floors, for an extra fun gore feeling.
How to install
As of version 2. 0, the installation is easier.
- []Vanilla: Simply drop the file into your Game folder. Alternatively, download ModEngine2 and drop the file into the "mod" folder, then launch the game through launchmod_darksouls3.bat.

- Convergence:

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says: less blood on your character, so you don't look like a walking crime scene
- Recent update (Sept 2025) means it's likely compatible with current game version
- Small download and simple install—no complex dependencies
⚠️ Cons
- Only 45 endorsements—not a huge community following, so you're on your own if issues arise
- No screenshots or detailed description—you'll have to test it yourself to see if you like the new blood color
- Purely cosmetic—if you want gameplay changes, this isn't for you
For players who find the default blood splatter on characters too over-the-top and want a more subtle, realistic look. Also for those who prefer red blood over the darker, almost black default. Skip if you're happy with the vanilla blood effects or want gameplay-altering mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a simple mod, just drop the files into your game's data folder—no mod manager needed
- If you're using other visual mods, test this one last to see if it conflicts with blood texture changes
- Check the mod page for any optional files or patches if you're using a mod manager
