Surprisingly, Kim\u2019s favorite mod has nothing to do with sex appeal, but rather the fan-favorite gremlin Doro \u2013 who originates from Shift Up\u2019s own mobile game Goddess of Victory: Nikke.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespark.jp\/article\/2025\/06\/19\/154175.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Game*Spark<\/a>, Kim reveals that the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/stellarblade\/mods\/249?tab=description\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Followed the player&#8217;s Pet Doro<\/a>\u201d mod created by Nexus Mods user <a href=\"https:\/\/next.nexusmods.com\/profile\/xjdyz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">xjdyz<\/a> is the one that left the biggest impression on him. Using the Doro model featured in Stellar Blade\u2019s Goddess of Victory: Nikke collaboration, the mod allows Doro to follow Eve as she explores a post-apocalyptic Earth.&nbsp;<\/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=\"[Stellar Blade\/Mod]Followed the player&#039;s Pet Doro\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CRiH4zEX5dQ?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>Originating from the Korean game forum <a href=\"https:\/\/arca.live\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arca.live<\/a>, Dororong (or \u201cDoro\u201d) was created by a Goddess of Victory: Nikke fan as a meme version of the character Dorothy. Due to Dorothy\u2019s tendency to use her beauty and kindness to mask her sinister intentions, fans found the cute but excessively hyper creation to be rather accurate.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Stellar Blade\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/tips\/stellar-blade-how-to-get-the-complete-editions-goddess-of-victory-nikke-cd-key\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Goddess of Victory: Nikke collaboration DLC<\/a> installed, you can encounter Doro on the way to the bar in Xion, the game\u2019s main hub. Doro will run around the hub\u2019s main area and will initially dodge all melee and ranged attacks. She will eventually grow tired, allowing you to hit her and obtain the Mysterious Creature Sticker that can be used in the game\u2019s photo mode. Doro\u2019s exaggerated animations and quick movements are so eye-catching that it\u2019s a shame she is never encountered again. That is, unless you install xjdyz\u2019s mod.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1344\" height=\"755\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1344px) 100vw, 1344px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250619-49251-001jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250619-49251-001jpg.jpg 1344w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250619-49251-001jpg-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250619-49251-001jpg-768x431.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about Doro\u2019s appearance in Stellar Blade, Kim says that the development team had to include the character in the collaboration DLC. Even though Doro does not officially appear in Goddess of Victory: Nikke, her <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/as-goddess-of-victory-nikke-enters-its-third-year-the-devs-want-to-explore-ways-to-keep-the-game-fresh-while-making-sure-its-what-players-want\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">impact on the fanbase<\/a> is significant enough to warrant her inclusion. Kim revealed that while translating a 2D character like Doro onto a 3D space proved difficult, Stellar Blade\u2019s 3D and animation teams took advantage of her unique design characteristics and created a 3D model with a wide array of motions. Now that Doro can go anywhere, Kim hopes future mods will be as interesting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stellar Blade is available on PC and PlayStation 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stellar Blade&#8217;s mod scene has been thriving ever since the game&#8217;s Steam release, and director Hyung-Tae Kim already has a favorite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":49253,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[18],"class_list":["post-49251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-global-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
