✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds real challenge for players who've mastered the base fight (23 endorsements from a niche audience).
- Keeps parrying viable, so skilled players still have a counterplay option.
- Small file size and simple install—just drop it in and go.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 23 endorsements—this is a niche mod for a specific boss fight, not a broad overhaul.
- Last updated in 2020—may not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC.
- No documentation on installation or compatibility—you're on your own if something breaks.
For Dark Souls 3 veterans who have Pontiff Sulyvahn memorized and want a fresh, tougher challenge. If you're a casual player or just want cosmetic changes, skip this—it's purely a difficulty tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Back up your original game files before installing, since this mod modifies boss behavior.
- If you're using other mods that alter Pontiff's AI, test for conflicts—this mod may override them.
- Practice parrying in the base game first; this mod makes the fight more punishing if you rely on ripostes.
