📋 About This Mod

Armor of The Forlorn, who wander the land of the undead.

"Born of Aldia's obsession with the First Sin, the Forlorn lost both their corporeal form and a world to call their own. Now they drift into other worlds, ever in search of a home. But without self, one has neither beginning nor end, and so the Forlorn have only to wander."

Firstly, i'd like to give a HUUUGE thanks to Madao, this was my first time attempting physics with a armor mod and without his help, this mod wouldn't exist right now. so be sure to check out his stuff!

The Armor of The Forlorn along with the Dark set in DS2 are some of my favorite armor sets in all of Souls (along with basically all of Bloodborne's sets lol) so i ported it to Elden Ring.

"What does this mod feature?"

it Features a full armor set, complete with a alterable Chestpiece to remove the cape, and 2 weapons: The Scythe/Greatsword of The Forlorn. in the future i may add custom icons/ item descriptions in the future, but for now it's just a simple replacer mod.

This mod does not add a new armor set to the game, it replaces already existing sets/weapons in Elden Ring.

----------------------------------------------------

MOD REPLACES THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:

Armor:

Black Knife Hood

Night's Calvary Armor

Night's Calvary Armor (altered)

Night's Calvary Gauntlet's

Night's Calvary Legging's

Weapons:

Grave Scythe

Iron Greatsword.

----------------------------------------------------

To install this mod: Download Modengine 2 and place the "parts" folder from my mod into the "mod" folder of your Modengine's Mod folder.

Also, in the screenshots of the mod, i purposely hid my character's face since i think it looks pretty cool lol. when you download this mod keep in mind that your character's face WILL show inside the hood. if you would like remove the face yourself, you can either use DSmapstudio to edit the Mask Flags. or, you could change the filename of the hood to replace another helm in the game. like for example: the Greathelm. you can do so by using this list here to edit the filenames accordingly.

This mod along with my DS2 Dark Set mod are huge passion projects of mine, alot of care and effort went into creating them so i hope you guys enjoy!

Anyway, that's basically it. thank you for reading. if you discover any bugs or issues with it, let me know and i'll try update the mod as soon as possible.
