Gnoster - The Sentient Pest - Overhaul

Installation with modengine 2. The ERskeletonman.dll must be installed with Elden Mod Loader (it makes Faurtis 20% smaller, mainly to reduce camera issues, not mandatory)

DLC REQUIRED. RAY-TRACING MAY CRASH THE GAME.

This mod brings Gnoster into Elden Ring, and makes it a more challenging encounter :

Gnoster replaces Magma Wyrm Makar at the top of the Strewn-Ruined Precipice near the Grand Lift of Dectus.

The fight is divided into 4 parts. I took a different approach than what you can experience in Nightreign (and I couldn't figure out how to port the fiery animus).

First, Faurtis (the ant) will fight you solo. Once Faurtis is at 80% health, the moth will appear. During this part, the moth is a support for Faurtis, attacking from afar like in the demon prince fight from ds3. You can utilize the windows provided by Faurtis when he goes underground do deal damage to the moth.

At 50% of Faurtis's health, his head will explode and gnoster will sit on top of him, both now attacking in tandem. Only Faurtis can be damage during this phase and when he reaches 10% he will enrage and do one final attack before dying.

The last segment of the fight is a duel against the moth and her magical orbital strikes (we're in a cave, i know).

The optional file "CMI" contains the tracks for Custom Music Injector by Pear (for the convergence mod, or your own build of CMI), more informations in .

The optional file "textures" removes the bright light coming from the wings of the moth, allowing you to see the pretty colors underneath. It may not look the best in the corners of the arena where the lighting is low. See the lasts few pictures.

Update ver1. 1 :

- Fixed the orb attack in P4, the moth now spawns 8 orb that roll on the ground to chase you at different speed for a short period of time, sfx also adjusted.

- Added ERSkeletonMan because I forgot...

- For CMI, made the tracks twice as long to avoid an issue in P4 where the music would abruptly cut off due to P1/2 and P3 music ending.

Update ver1. 2 : Is unchanged what is not mentioned below.

- Fixed a bug : the moth is no longer invulnerable when P3 is skipped. (event file changed)

- Fixed a bug : the healthbar of Gnoster now disappear if she dies in P2. (event file changed)

- Fixed a bug : the mushrooms in Miquella's Haligtree now render properly. (material file changed)

- Fixed a bug : the legs of the moth no longer stretch during the orbital strikes attack. (anibnd file changed)

- Fixed a bug ? : for
