O'Rin's Spectral Blade (Sekiro inspired) - Unique 2H moveset and ash (DLC)

Updated to work with the DLC - last working on regulation version 1. 16. Available on Ab Aeterno's Moveset Modpack.

Adds O'Rin's Spectral Blade as a new weapon, which includes a unique 2H moveset and ash of war. You can purchase it at the Twin Maiden Husks (under the "Special Weaponry Shop" option) in Roundtable Hold for 4000 runes (uchigatana icon). Internal weapon ID is 9005000.

Once again rather experimental so it may or may not be over/under-tuned, but I found it fun to mess around with.

Special features:

• []Uncharged R2 direction: 

  Normal uncharged R2 is performed towards the left. L1 + uncharged R2 performs it towards the right instead.

• []Alt R1 combo:

  L1 + R1 performs an alternative R1 combo with single fast swings. Running R2 and backstep attacks chain into this alt combo, and you can chain into it from any part of the normal R1 combo as well (e.g. R1 -> R1 -> L1 + R1).

Ash of War: Mibu Spectral Dance

Imbue yourself with ghastly energy from the spectral blade. While in this form, dodge rolls, backsteps, and running heavy attacks become spectral, but cost FP to use. Use again to deactivate (costs no FP to toggle). These are only applied while 2-handing the weapon.

L1 + ash of war performs a parry instead.

Installation:

• []You will need ModEngine2, you can find releases & installation instructions here: https://github.com/soulsmods/ModEngine2

  []Download the mod. You can then either extract the 'orin_spectral_blade' folder's contents into ModEngine2's mod folder, or add the 'orin_spectral_blade' folder itself and link to it in ModEngine2's "config_eldenring.toml" file.
