📋 About This Mod

The following armor sets have been recolored in Black & Red:

  • []Banished Knight - Mitten replaced on the right gauntlet and duck feet removed courtesy of ScaledFeather and their mod Banished Knight Greaves Modified.

    []Bloodhound Knight

    []Cleanrot

    []Crucible (Both sets) - See below for disclaimers.

    []General Radahn - See below for disclaimers. Comes with an option to have the lion's head visor and lower jaw come together over the face

    []Malenia's

    []Maliketh's

    []Night's Cavalry

    []Raging Wolf

    []Tree Sentinel

    []Veteran's - Mitten replaced on the right gauntlet, duck feet removed courtesy of ScaledFeather and their mod Veteran's Greaves Modified, and visor brought down over the face. Optional prosthetic leg replacement.

    []Alberich's

    []Carian Knight - Winged helm model courtesy of Xylvera and their mod, Sacred Sovereign and Frenzied Fanatic Armour and Shield.

    Exceptions:

    • []Land of Reeds - I won't be doing a black/red recolor of this because I've essentially already done that in my other mod, Land of Reeds Armor Set Recolors.

      []Hoslow's - A black/red recolor has already been done by SkeletonMaster0103: Dark Hoslow's Set

    If you're looking for more colors of these armors, please go to my profile or search Nexus for more recolor mods.

    Disclaimers! Please Read!

    Ray Tracing must be turned off! Using any mods that edit models like this one, with Ray Tracing on, will crash the game! There is no fix for this as what would have to change is out of my control: either Ray Tracing itself or the very tools we modders use for FromSoftware titles have to change.

    General Radahn: I am aware that the underside of the cloak is a dark red/burgundy. If I find the time, I'll try to remedy that.

    Crucible Axe Set: The Axe Set's cape fringe can finally be recolored, but it comes with a slight hiccup. When looking at your character in the Status menu, the fringe looks black and boxy. I'm unsure why it does this only in the menu, as it appears normally in any other setting. So just keep this in mind: it will be normal in every location except for the Status menu screen.

✅ Pros

⚠️ Cons

  • Only two colors—black and red—so if you want variety, this isn't it

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute for individual files; 5-10 minutes if you download the all-in-one pack and need to manage files.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using a mod manager, use the all-in-one download to avoid overwriting conflicts.
  • Check the mod's file structure after download—some armor mods require you to place files in specific folders.
  • Since this is a recolor, make sure you have the original armor mods installed if they're required (though not stated here).
