📋 About This Mod

New enemy placement, item location, armor sets, weapons, decorations...A new experience and look for Dark Souls Ⅱ!

Description

Dark Souls II Firelink Edition is a Scholar of the First Sin mod with new visuals, custom lighting, items, enemy placement and changes to the progression. Previously locked doors are now opened, key items are in different locations, maybe you will find a new shortcut... This is a new Dark Souls 2 experience.

The main focus of the mod is the environment and scenery with the goal of bringing more life and charm to the world.

Literally hundreds of new changes, too many to mention one by one, but, some of the most notable changes include:

  • []New weapons, shields, armor pieces and 2 whole new miracles!![/]

    []Always at 110 Agility[/]

    []Less Lifegem items[/]

    []Soul items can be sold at their actual soul value[/]

    []Soul items display their soul value in the descriptions[/]

    []Buffed ring effects. Some rings are as good as their +1 version[/]

    []Arrows and bolts deal more damage[/]

    []Warping with the Aged Feather, Darksign or Homeward Bone will also restore your health, flasks and spells.[/]

    []Added a new bonfire in Throne of Want (only for warping, cannot burn Bonfire Ascetics)[/]

    []Straid only sells boss spells now and Ornifex sells all boss weapons. Boss Souls now tell you what you can create with them.[/]

    []Less Pursuer fights, less Petrified Hollows and less invasion. The Gutter Denizen no longer appears.[/]

    []The folder "~~Optional Param changes~~" contains an optional, modified version of the End Credits that lasts only 5 seconds.[/]

    The mod is only available in English 🇬🇧 and Spanish 🇪🇸. You can expect new lore, descriptions and name changes to bosses, characters, areas...

    Muy Importante

    (very important)

    At the moment only base game has changes, DLC areas are the same. Dragon Memories, Memory of Giants and Dark Chasm of Old are also the same.

    Future updates are planned, this is just the first version of the mod.

    Installation

    • []Before installing any DS2 mod, please set texture and model quality to the highest settings, the mod won't work properly otherwise.[/]

      []Remember to backup your save file (%appdata%\DarkSoulsII\) as a safety measure.[/]

      []Extract the content of the downloaded file into your Scholar of the First Sin folder (SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dark Souls II Scholar of the FirstSin\Game).[/]

      []To uninstall simply remove those files (Firelink Edition folder, modengine.ini, dinput8.dll).[/]

      Check the "Optional Param changes" folder if you want the credits to last a couple of seconds.
