📋 About This Mod
FAQs:
What does this mod do?
This disables block hit animation on player.
Why do I need this mod?
You may want your block to be stronger and more stable in an action game like Dark Souls. Or, you have the first person block animation stuck bug, this mod fixed the bug.
What is the first person block animation stuck bug?
When an enemy hits your block and you release you block key(right mouse button on PC) earlier, you block animation won't be stopped, it stucks your next action. The bug does not exist in the vanilla game, but added by modern mods(which I don't exactly know where it comes from, I just made this brutal patch to fix it).
Will this mod affects NPCs?
No, it works on player only.
How is the game play after this mod?
Easier, feels like you get two more block perks. It boosts both of your shield block and weapon block, gets you more chance to survive in a difficult game like the legendary difficulty or the Requiem mod.
Knowing issue?
You can still block even your stamina is low. But this won't make you invincible, you still take plenty of damage.
Compatibility:
For now, I just know it works with everything, FNIS or Nemesis, combat overhaul mods. it is a very small edit, it won't break things.
It is free to install or uninstall any time.
Happy holiday.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix with 148 endorsements and over 6.5k downloads

- Lightweight and focused—does one thing and does it well
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2022, so may not be compatible with newer game versions
- Niche fix—only affects blocking animation, so not useful if you don't melee often
- Potential conflicts with other animation overhauls that modify stagger or block behaviors
For melee-focused players who hate the random stagger interrupting their block and want cleaner, more reliable blocking. Also for anyone who's hit the first-person block idle stuck bug. Skip if you rarely block or prefer more dramatic stagger animations.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on PC, make sure to disable any other mods that alter stagger animations to avoid conflicts.
- Test blocking against different enemy types to confirm the fix works in all situations.
- If you use a mod manager, install this mod and check for conflicts with animation overhauls in your load order.
