📋 About This Mod
This mod lets you fight Dragonslayer Ornstein instead of the Nameless King. Ornstein is fought just like Nameless King normally. If you install only the phase 2 model, Ornstein will appear in the cutscene after the big storm explosion, so it looks like the Nameless King transforms into Ornstein, and vice versa if you install only the phase 1 model. You will need to install one of the armor textures as well.
1. 1 Update:
Added phase 1 replacement and some alt colors.
As this is model swap, you should not be banned from online play. However, there is still a possibility as you are modifying game files. Use at your own risk.
If you are using Mod Engine, then you will be banned if you go online.

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your original game files before replacing anything, just in case.
- If you're using a mod manager, check if the mod is compatible with your current game version.
- Since it's a texture/model swap, verify that the mod doesn't conflict with other visual mods you have installed.
