📋 About This Mod
Updated to work with the DLC - last working regulation version 1. 16. Available on Ab Aeterno's Moveset Modpack.
Adds Friede's Great Scythe from DS3 as a new weapon. You may find it at the Twin Maiden Husks' shop in the Roundtable Hold, sold for 9000 runes (it has the grave scythe as icon). Internal weapon ID is 19002000.
Includes the original 2H R1 combo (plus a 4th attack from ER), and Elfriede's Stance ash of war with a bit of a spin.
Ash of War: Elfriede's Stance
Activate the ash of war to pull out the magic scythe and enter a walking motion. Follow up with R1 up to 3 times for a chain combo. Follow up with R2 to launch ice from the ground.
The first 2 parts of the R1 chain may be followed up with R2 for a 'retreat' move, where you jump backwards while becoming invisible (and gaining i-frames), also launching ice forwards.

Adds Friede's Great Scythe from Dark Souls 3 as a new weapon, featuring the original two-handed R1 combo and the Elfriede's Stance ash of war with an extra move. A faithful recreation for Elden Ring players who want a classic DS3 weapon.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Faithful to DS3 with the iconic moveset and ash of war.
- Decent community support (111 endorsements, 3.7k downloads).
- Recent update (November 2024) suggests active maintenance.
⚠️ Cons
- Only one weapon—no other content or variations.
- Requires the DLC (as noted in the title), so base-game players miss out.
For Elden Ring players who loved Friede's Scythe in Dark Souls 3 and want that moveset back. Also for collectors of crossover weapons. Skip if you want a full weapon pack or don't own the DLC.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Elden Ring DLC installed, as the mod title indicates it's required.
- Since it's a weapon mod, you'll likely need to find or spawn the weapon in-game—check the mod's files or comments for the location.
- If you use a mod manager, drop the files into your mod folder and enable it; otherwise, manually place them in the game directory.
