Go adventuring with your favorite Elden Ring NPCs and Bosses with this mod

A pretty slick mod for the default spirit ashes.

So if you've ever wanted characters like Melina, Sellen, Millicent, Ranni, or Blaidd the Half-Wolf to hang out with you as you tromp about the lands between, well, now's your time. Rebalancing and empowering these characters in unique ways, modder Satoshi98 has given them behaviors and powers more appropriate to the general Elden Ring experience rather than how they appear otherwise, and they don't have the glow of spirit ash summons either.

Perhaps odder, however, is the range of other characters modder Satoshi98 has added to Elden Ring as buddies—lots of the bosses, mostly. Characters like Malenia, Radagon, a Crucible Knight, or even more obscure—how about summoning big monsters like Malenia's Goddess of Rot form, or Morgott, the Omen King? How about giant muscle-bound Godfrey or Maliketh, The Black Blade?

If you're curious, well, you can find the turning the game into a seamless co-op adventure.

Elden Ring has been much in the news lately, which I guess shouldn't surprise you if you've heard that it sold over 13 million copies in the first five weeks of release.
