📋 About This Mod
Updated to game version 1. 16. 2
I have returned to update the mod to the latest game version of 1. 16. 2, as I see a lot of people are still interested in the mod despite me being very absent for quite some time. This version has had the params and text updated to 1. 16. 2 as well as updated the mod description of how to obtain some of the new items and summons as the original mod description by me was very outdated and not properly maintained.
NEW INSTALL GUIDE - PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS INSTEAD OF THE OLD ONES

How to INSTALL? CURRENT UP TO DATE
This is the new way to install and play with mods without receiving a corrupted save error. You must now download and install MOD ENGINE 3 NOT MOD ENGINE 2. As Mod Engine 2 no longer supports large mod files. As this mod grew in size Mod Engine 2 can no longer load the mod properly and causes a corrupted save error. You must upgrade and use Mod Engine 3 to launch with large file mods or you will see corrupted save error upon launching with mods.
You can download the latest Mod Engine 3 here: Click here for ME3
Step 1: Simply download the latest mod engine 3, unzip the file and place it anywhere you like.
Step 2: Next download my mod and unzip the file. Copy/Paste or simply move the unzipped mod files into "eldenring-mods" folder
