📋 About This Mod
Another Malenia Mod?
This is something I made for my game that I'm sharing for others who might want to use it.
I gave the katana some of Malenia's moves. Comes with proper sound effects (player sounds, not Malenia's).
Optional standalone version that replaces only the Hand of Malenia. (Less simple version that contains a regulation.bin)
Can easily be merged with Vigil (overhaul I use), Elden Ring Reforged, Build Enabling Overhaul, whatever.
You just need a basic understanding of Yapped.
As of 2. 0, this mod has NO requirements. This mod contains NO regulation.bin!
for the replacer version.
Moveset
Some notes:
- I removed as many sparks/butterfly/scarlet aeonia effects from the animations as I could because I didn't like them.

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your original game files before replacing anything, just in case.

- Test the mod in a low-stakes area first to get a feel for the new animations before diving into boss fights.
