Damascus Steel Murakumo (Obsidian)

This is not a texture override. You must use UnpackDarkSoulsForModding on your PTDE install in order for these textures to work. Texture override textures do not show up on phantoms, which is why I went this route. I've also downsized the low poly textures to improve performance, so these textures will perform better than texture override, and they will perform identically to the vanilla textures.

To install, simply drop the modded partsbnd files into your Parts folder (Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition\DATA\parts), and replace the originals. I've included the original murakumo partsbnd files in case you don't end up liking it and want to revert back to the original. HOT TIP: you can swap partsbnd files while the game is still open. Simply unequip/re-equip the weapon to compare the difference.
