Be it because of the difficult bosses or the dark world, some players wish for a little company when playing Elden Ring. The game lets you play with others for a short time to explore dungeons together or fight boss fights. However, since the functions of the co-op mode are very limited, a modder has made it his task to make playing together much easier and expand it.
With or without co-op, Rémy yearns even more for a Dark Souls 4 after the Elden Ring:

Seamless Coop brings all this
While players in Elden Ring already have to struggle with the high level of difficulty, the game’s co-op mode brings additional unwanted challenges. Even summoning a friend into your world is quite complicated, and there are often sudden disconnections that get on your nerves. But you can still have funny experiences, as this story shows:

With his mod, LukeYui wants to improve the co-op mode all around, remove previous restrictions and add new features. In a video on YouTube, the modder already shows how the interaction works:

You can see what the co-op mod promises from the following list:
- Co-op for up to four players: Instead of three people as in the original game, you should be able to go four with the mod.
- Easier to play together: You can do without the Tainted Finger and everything else, instead launching the game and mod with its own launcher.
- After death it continues: Previously, invited players had to leave your world if they died in battle. Now neither the death of the host nor that of a fellow player prevents you from continuing to play together. You can even watch your co-op buddy finish off the boss after you die.
- Riding and Fast Travel: You cannot use your horse or fast travel in Elden Ring multiplayer. Both are made possible with the mod, so you can now explore the world with four people indefinitely. A voting system has also been integrated into fast travel so that nobody is teleported unintentionally.
- Waypoints are synced for all players: This way you can better coordinate where to go next.
- All areas accessible: Some areas were excluded from multiplayer, you can now enter them in co-op.
As the list shows, the planned features of the mod are really extensive and will probably lead to a completely new co-op experience. Those who would much rather explore the intermediate lands in pairs or in a group, but were disappointed by the short-term nature of the co-op mode, might like the new mod.
