Fromsoftware is set to urgently reinvent the multiplayer approach with the Eldenling Night League, but nothing beats the original thrill Dark Souls. The simple act of etching soapstones to the ground and waiting to be summoned, or helping a random player to ultimately defeat Ornstein and Smough is different from other online experiences. But if you want to play with friends across the land of Roadrun, that’s when things get tough. With constant obstacles and resets, loading into the world of friends is not challenging in itself, but it is no longer the case. The modder behind the most popular Eldenling mod that makes online play simpler, has finally released its first version of Dark Souls.
Dark Souls’ seamless cooperatives do exactly what you think. Developed by “Yui”, this mod greatly streamlines FromSoftware’s ingenious soul-like online experiences, making it easier to play with friends and beyond the internet. From undead exile you can travel to the first flame ki without restrictions. No cutting after the boss, no longer has a restrictive fog wall and the experience is synchronized.
Now, if a player in a multiplayer session dies, they will respawn at the last bonfire resting instead. This doesn’t ruin your progress. One player rests on a bonfire, resets the state of the world for everyone. You can play up to five other players, and the group’s game progression counts to everyone when they return to their own road run.
To do this, Yui also adjusted the overall balance of the game. Scaling makes all enemies and bosses more difficult to touch depending on the number of players in the session, but you can access the file yourself and adjust exactly how it plays. You can also leave options to be invaded by other players. So if you enjoy the thrill of seeing a red-tone phantom appear on the horizon, you can.
Yui prevents seamless cooperatives from not being able to connect to their own matchmaking servers from Software. This means that you can only play with others who have installed the mod to prevent it from being banned by chance.
With Elden Ring Nightrign’s co-op reinvention around the corner, now is the perfect time to revisit Lordran and try out a seamless co-op with friends. Head here to get started.
