📋 About This Mod
Artorias Greatsword is probably one of the most iconic weapons of the Dark Souls franchise, but has always been underwhelming in terms of stats, especially compared to what it's supposed to be lore wise. This mod aims to restore its former glory, making it a weapon worthy of the great Wolf Knight Artorias
All scalings and base damage have been buffed by 50%, making the sword incredibly powerful, true to its lore. You might consider it cheating (which kinda is, to an extent) but in the end it's all a matter of prospective I'd say.
