📋 About This Mod

This mod replaces Slave Knight Gael in both phases with Artorias the Abysswalker. In phase 2, he even has a blue winged cape. You also have the option to replace just one phase. If you wish to do that, place only the files with the ID of that phase in your chr folder.

Phase 1: ID 6201

Phase 2: ID 6200

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.
