📋 About This Mod

Item Randomizer REMIX is a mod that places almost all items of the game to new random locations. This is a remake of the older version by Jgwman and it adds these new features:

  • []Option to randomize keys. Specific algorithm places all keys to locations that are reachable and ensures there's no soft locks.

    []Option to randomize Estus Flask, Dull Ember and White sign Soapstone. For the first two you can also chose between easier locations or any locations.

    []Option to cross-randomize between World locations and enemy drops. Both of these are always randomized but you can choose if they are randomized separately or together as one item pool.

    []Hint list and cheat list for key items.

    []Cheat list for world locations.

    Which items are not randomized?

    • []Shop inventories (I don't know how to do this. If you do, I'm interested to learn!)

      []Server items (covenant loot) remain in their original locations but covenant joining items and ranking prizes are randomized.

      []Normal npc-invader drop (human effigy)

      []Gestures

      []Seed of a Tree of Giants and Petrified Egg (these two have a physical appearance which causes weird things when placed somewhere else.)

      []Prizes for playing the game certain way (like without resting at a bonfire)

      What is counted as a World location?

      Normal corpses and chests found in the world, Boss drops, covenant joining items and ranking prizes, gifts from npcs and some special enemy drops (like ashen idols and the skeleton dragon of Aldia's keep). All the rest are enemy drops (including mimics, crystal lizards and most pursuers)

      What are counted as keys or key items?

      "Keys" are all the uniqe items that work as keys (open a door or an area) for example Soldier Key, Frozen Flower or Ashen Mist Heart. You can chose whether you want to randomize these or not. "Key items" include also Estus Flask, Dull Ember, White Sign Soapstone, Souls of a Giant, Smelter Wedges,  fragrant branches, Pharros' Lockstones, Sublime Bone Dusts and Estus Flask Shards. Mod generates a hint list and a cheat list for all the key items, so If you are lost, check first the "Key Items Hints.txt" file and if that is not enough, then "Key Items Cheats.txt" file.

      I can't find this one key! Where can the keys actually go?

      Key items can not go to any place that might be lost (like wooden chests or npc gifts) or any place that is dependent of covenants or NG+. Also keys can not be placed so that they create a soft lock (key behind a door that it itself opens for example). But of course keys can still be in quite sinister places (or really easy places, you never know...)

      Anything else I should know?

      []Licia of Lindeldt can always turn the rotunda, but if you randomize keys, she will not drop Rotunda Lockstone upo
