📋 About This Mod

This mod is aimed to increase the difficulty in Dark Souls 3 by decreasing the i-frames on the roll animation. Now you need to roll a lot more presicely in order to not get hit. It feels a lot like DS2!

In order to make this mod working you need to unpack your game files with UXM first.

Playing online with this mod will most probably result in ban.

Installation Guide:

1. Unpack the game with UXM: https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/26

2. Make a back up of the "c0000.anibnd" file from the chr folder. (the one on the top)

3. Drop my version of that file into the chr folder.

4. Patch the game with UXM (important!)

Enjoy the pain! :)
