Ascension of the Grafted

Description

Ascension of the Grafted is a complete overhaul mod for Elden Ring that entirely reimagines the game's lore and progression. In this modified universe, Godrick and Morgott are revealed as the true primordial beings responsible for the creation of the world. Progression has been flipped on its head: Malenia now serves as an early-game hurdle, while Godrick rises as the ultimate final boss.

Make sure to read item descriptions! The reimagined lore and the secrets of this primordial universe are woven directly into weapon, spell, and item descriptions throughout the game.

Discover new Godrick encampments sprawling across the Mountaintops of the Giants, a mysterious altered Stormveil location hidden within the Realm of Shadow (DLC), new spells to summon Morgott's raining golden swords or hurl his holy spear, and ported weapons like Dark Souls 3's Lorian’s Greatsword.

Experience a total overhaul for Godrick with a completely new moveset, reworked AI, and the added ability to parry his attacks. Other bosses have been refined to remove frustrating move-spam, and Malenia features restored cut animation content!
