📋 About This Mod
This is a modification for the main menu of Dark Souls III, which changes both the main menu background and the soundtrack. My idea was to do something close to the effect of the Elden Ring main menu. If you played the game, you know what I mean with this one.
You can chose between two version of the mod: the Soul of Cinder version modifies the main menu music with the soundtrack of the boss' second phase. Kaelyr Thanagor version changes the soundtrack with the An Karanir Thanagor theme from World of Warcraft. I hope you like it!
To install the mod you can chose between one of two methods:
1 - You can unpack your game with UXM and drop the whole content of the "mod" folder inside the archive in your main game folder (where DarkSoulsIII.exe is located)
2 - You can install Mod Engine 2 and then drop the "mod" folder inside my archive in your main game folder, merging it with the one that came with the ME2 installation. Alternatively, you can open the mod folder inside the archive and drag/drop its contents inside the ME2's mod folder. It's up to you.
I hope you like it!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and to the point—does exactly what it says
- Fresh coat of paint for the main menu without touching gameplay
- Lightweight download (470 downloads) with a dedicated niche following
⚠️ Cons
- Only 15 endorsements—community hasn't fully embraced it yet

- Last updated in December 2025—could be outdated if the game has since patched
For Dark Souls III players who are tired of the same old menu and want a quick visual and audio refresh. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Back up your original menu files before replacing, so you can revert if you don't like the new look.
- Check the mod's comments section for any user screenshots or videos showing the new menu—since the description is thin, community feedback is your best preview.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
