Elproteh on Twitter has shared their progress on a spectacularDark Souls 3mod that makes the game look and play likeBloodborne. In their tweet, elproteh writes, “ClosestBloodborneexperience for PC so far?” before speaking about what they have been working on and a clip that showcases it.
In the clip, a Hunter fromBloodbornefightsDark Souls 3’s first boss, Iudex Gundyr, using theiconic Saw Cleaver and Hunter Pistolcombination of weapons. What’s more, some ofBloodborne’s mechanics and UI elements are here, with the Hunter quick-stepping instead of dodge-rolling, performing Visceral Attacks instead of Parries, and earning Blood Echoes upon the boss' defeat instead of Souls.
As elproteh states, their mod is not an entirely new one, but an assemblage of already existing mods, likeHunter’s Combat, Bloodborne Dash, and Bloodborne Hud to name a few. Elproteh explains in one of their replies, “This is just sort of a modpack I’m gathering and applying my own tweaks and changes to make the experience even closer toBloodborne.”
They provide a list of all the mods being used in the replies, though they note that there will be some pesky errors that will likely affect gameplay. While elproteh is open to releasing the modpack after they’re done modifying it, they are unsure if it’s possible as they would need permissions from the other original modders.
Modders are some of the most creative gamers out there, in their ability to make what was designed for one game work in another. It helps in this case thatBloodborneis a part of the “Soulsborne” series, but it is nonetheless an impressive accomplishment by elproteh to replicate the game inDark Souls 3.
Dark Souls 3is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
