📋 About This Mod
The vanilla bloodstain sprite is half the resolution (128x128) of the one if Dark Souls 1 and has a really bad transparency on it. This HD one is 512x512 and has almost no transparency artifacts.
This is a conversion of my Demon's Souls Style Bloodstain mod for Dark Souls 1, now in 2 versions: Fresh and Dried. This does not change the green soul sprite, might make add optional file for those once I find the corresponding images.
Installation: 1. Choose your prefered style of bloodstain then add the corresponding "52d5b387.png" to "textures/DarkSoulsII/override" inside your GeDoSaTo directory 2. Make sure that you have set "enableTextureOverride" to "true" in GeDoSaTo.ini 3. Happy summoning!
Uninstall: Simply delete the "52d5b387.png" file.
Special thanks to Durante for GeDoSaTo.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 861 endorsements and nearly 15k downloads
- Gives you two distinct looks for bloodstains—fresh and dried—so you can pick what fits your vibe
- Simple texture swap that doesn't mess with gameplay, just makes those death markers look better
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014, so it might not be compatible with newer game versions or mod setups
- Only affects bloodstains, so if you're looking for broader visual overhauls, this is a tiny piece
- Potential conflicts with other texture mods that touch blood or decals—test with your load order
For Dark Souls players who want a subtle visual upgrade to bloodstains without changing gameplay. If you're into lore-friendly or atmospheric tweaks, this is a nice touch. Skip if you want major graphical overhauls or gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture mod, use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer 2 to keep track of files and avoid overwriting other textures.
- If you're playing with DSfix or other graphical mods, make sure to place this mod's files in the correct texture folder (e.g., 'tex_override') to ensure they load properly.
- Try both Fresh and Dried versions in-game to see which one fits your preferred atmosphere—you can switch between them easily by replacing the files.
