📋 About This Mod

UPDATE 1. 05: The sword has been fixed for the new combat art "Sakura dance".

How to install.

NOTE : The "parts" folder must be inside the "mods" folder.

NOTE 2 : If you already have both folders, you don't need to create them.

2) Copy or drag the file (wp_a_0300.partsbnd.dcx) inside the "parts" folder.

Example, ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sekiro™ Shadows Die Twice\ "mods" \ "parts" ).
