Dark Souls Expansion
by MrFazCraft
Dark Souls Expansion adds Lordran, a new dimension reached through a key, along with bosses, weapons, armor sets and a blacksmith trading system for souls.
What it does
Players begin by searching the world for eight ruin fragments scattered across it, which open a structure called Gravestone Yard. Joining the fragments with an Undead Soul yields the Artorias Crest, and that item leads the way to Lordran. The key can be deposited in new churches found in the world, so travel between the overworld and Lordran stays available once it is obtained.
Inside Lordran, the player explores three new main structures with loot and a boss at each. The dimension also includes an Undead Asylum dungeon boss, more than 45 new weapons with animations and more than 15 armor sets inspired by the series. A blacksmith house lets players buy new weapons and items in exchange for souls, and a function lets players hand the blacksmith a Large Amber to enable it.
The mod is maintained and updated in early stages of development, and its content is built around resources and equipment. It runs on client and server and is published for Forge 1.20.1, currently at version 5.2.1, with a 1-click server installation option through Nitrado Apex Hosting. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
