Dark Souls 1 Redesign

The Remastered version can be found here.

It's intended for new players as well as veteran players that would like to do a magic run (but couldn't because it wasn't that viable with pyromancies, miracles or any other reason).

This mod contains a few impactful quality of life improvements which significantly enhance the gameplay with the least amount of changes possible. This includes changes to pyromancy and miracles making them viable alone and giving every magic type their own advantage.

This mod is english only which was done to prevent bad translation or missing item names and descriptions.

If you are new to the game: just play the game normally without a wiki. Every combat style is now viable in its own way.

If you have already played the game: Solaire and Laurentius have extra dialogues. They give hints.

Feel free to give me feedback in the posts section. Please excuse my amateurish picture editing and sfx animation skills. Only open spoilers in the description if you don't want to search or find out locations yourself (mostly hinted).

Installation:

1. Launch your game once and disable anti-aliasing (preparation for DSfix)

2. Download DSFix and copy it into your Dark Souls "DATA" directory: https://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls/mods/19/?tab=files

3. Copy the "DSfix.ini" file from this mod into your Dark Souls "DATA" directory (already has Full-HD and 60fps mode set)

4. Download "UnpackDarkSoulsForModding.exe" from here: https://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls/mods/1304?tab=files

5. Unpack it with "7zip" (https://www. 7-zip.de) by right-clicking, "7-zip" -> "extract files here"

6. Copy the .exe file into your Dark Souls "DATA" directory and run it to unpack your files (you can choose "No" when asked for keeping files)

7. Copy all files from the "DATA" folder of this mod into your Dark Souls "DATA" folder

You can now launch the game normally through steam.

Modifications:

Quality of Life and general changes:

• []additional bonfires so boss runs are non existent or less annoying

  []new warping system: 4 bonfires unlocked when both bells are rung and all bonfires unlocked when the lordvessel is acquired (you obviously need to sit down at them first to unlock them)

• []lock-on distance doubled (so you don't do a 180° turn when trying to lock onto an enemy)

• []starting animations e.g. raising flask or casting a spell can now be cancelled by rolling and backstepping

• "Cast Light" is available from "Griggs of Vinheim" as a sorcery, "Laurentius of the Great Swamp" and "Quelana" as a pyromancy and "Petrus of Thorolund" as a miracle
