elder ring Almost a year old. It came out ahead of the zeitgeist, and the depth of content found in its open world will keep most of us entertained until the end of 2022.
Anyone interested in playing it has probably already, but those of us who’ve seen pretty much everything it has to offer are still looking for a major addition to keep us coming back. Well, what we’re looking for may have just arrived.
No, this isn’t some rumored/hoped-for Elden Ring DLC, nor is it official new content of any kind. However, it’s one of the more exciting creations from the community.This Ring of Elden Reforged
Reforged is the largest overhaul of its kind for Elden Ring. Early FromSoft games received a lot of similar entries from the modding community, which kept them fresh and interesting for many years later.
Considering the sheer size of Elden Ring, and the fact that there’s almost zero developer documentation on how the game’s systems work, it’s understandably much harder for such an overhaul mod to exist.
Except that’s what modder Kirnifr managed to create with Ivy’s support. Elden Ring Reforged focuses more on the nuances of combat, leveling up, crafting, and exploration – rather than the game’s new glitz.
When you download Reforged on Nexus Mods, you’re actually playing a different version of Elden Ring. In terms of gameplay, you can expect a Sekiro-inspired deflection, as well as a new Fortunes career system that gives you access to many abilities you may have overlooked (or never encountered) during normal gameplay.
This extends to torrents (now 50% faster!), as well as enemy AI, new difficulty options for Sites of Grace, and updated boss fight footage.
Reforged also has a ton of balance tweaks to combat, spells, enemy behavior/hitboxes, and more. It’s essentially like a different take on many of FromSoftware’s design decisions, which you only feel when you play the game.
If any of these sound interesting, click the link above and get the mod. You might also want to hang out around the Reforged Discord server if you’re looking for help.
