Like the PC versions of the studio\u2019s other titles such as the <em>Dark Souls<\/em> series and <em>Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/em>, <em>Elden Ring<\/em> is also getting tons of mod support from users despite the game only being out for 2 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among these mods, one that\u2019s been especially getting attention from players lately is a boss randomizer. As reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/elden-ring\/enemy-randomizer-mod\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PCGamesN<\/a>, the mod is being developed by thefifthmatt who also drew attention for creating the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/eldenring\/mods\/428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Elden Ring Key Item Randomizer<\/em><\/a>\u201d mod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the below tweet, we can see that in the area where early-game boss Margit is supposed to appear, Radahn stands waiting. While the giant boss is normally fought on a wide beach area, having to fight him on a narrow bridge seems like a nightmare. The mod is currently in development and planned to be combined with the Key Item Randomizer and released in the near future. But whether you\u2019ll be able to clear the game with this mod on may depend on how lucky you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Elden Ring combined enemy and item randomizer soon\u2122<br>(video contains mid-game boss spoilers) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ff55zMe4VL\">pic.twitter.com\/Ff55zMe4VL<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Matt Gruen (@thefifthmatt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thefifthmatt\/status\/1517873754184962049?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 23, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As for mods that expand the features of the game, there\u2019s LukeYui\u2019s \u201cElden Ring Seamless Coop\u201d mod. This mod removes multiplayer boundaries and doesn\u2019t cut off connections after death. While currently in development, features being worked on for the full release include a voting system for synchronized fast travel, being able to visit the Roundtable together, a spectator mode after death, and more. But since this mod makes sweeping changes to the game\u2019s multiplayer systems, it may be best to only use it with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LukeYui has also released a \u201cItem and param randomizer\u201d that randomizes way more elements than just key items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Elden Ring Seamless Coop: More features\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c6c9ewJcTGg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Next up is a mod from Luke Ross to add VR support to <em>Elden Ring<\/em>, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/an-elden-ring-vr-mod-is-coming-and-we-have-some-footage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PC Gamer<\/a>.

Apart from ones that make the game easier, there\u2019s a mod that makes <em>Elden Ring<\/em> even harder called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/eldenring\/mods\/161\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prepare to Die (Hard Mode)<\/a>.\u201d There\u2019s also a mod called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/eldenring\/mods\/894\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">All New Starting Classes<\/a>\u201d that adds new starting classes based on NPCs that appear the game, and even shows a playful side by including \u201cLet me solo her\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20220419-11675\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">related article<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another mod that\u2019s been gaining attention lately is \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/eldenring\/mods\/541\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ERR \u2013 Elden Ring Reforged<\/a>,\u201d which adds new mechanics, the ability to challenge bosses again, balance adjustments, and enemy AI and hitbox changes. While not a mod, the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/eldenring\/mods\/542\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elden Ring Progression Checklist<\/a>\u201d is also proving to be popular. The checklist is being distributed as xlsx and ODS files, so even players that don\u2019t want to use mods can make use of it. It seems great for players that want to squeeze every bit of content out of <em>Elden Ring<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use mods, please keep in mind that you\u2019re doing so at your own risk. If a mod is detected as a cheat, it may result in being banned from online play. If you do decide to use them, consider doing so offline and make use of the knowhow of other mod users. While mods are ultimately unofficial, it looks like modders will continue to expand on how <em>Elden Ring<\/em> can be played.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f8f8f8\">related article:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20220427-12076\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elden Ring Ver.1.04.1 fixes Malenia\u2019s broken healing ability &amp; Cerulean Hidden Tear\u2019s duration<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PC version of Elden Ring appears to be receiving all sorts of mods from boss randomizers to VR to seamless co-op.
