Best Mods for Elden Ring: Armor, Weapons, Difficulty, Graphics, Maps, Pause, and Much More

Elden Ring is a major project by FromSoftware, the creators of the Dark Souls series. If you are playing on a PC, you can modify the game using custom modifications. In this article, we have compiled the best mods for Elden Ring: for armor, weapons, appearances, as well as mods for magic and characters. We will also guide you on how to install mods.

Custom modifications allow you to make the game more interesting, improve its graphics, change the difficulty, and much more. In this article, we have collected the best mods for Elden Ring. Thanks to them, new types of weapons and armor will appear in the game, unique talismans will be added, and the properties of Great Runes will be reworked. If desired, you can immediately open the entire map, make the passage easier or much more difficult. And for connoisseurs of beauty, it is offered to undress Ranni, Fia, or the main heroine of the game.

Before installing mods, we strongly recommend going offline. Using modifications during online play is undesirable as it may lead to a ban. Also, do not forget to update Elden Ring to the latest version.

To disable a modification, delete its folder from the mods directory. If a mod is installed differently, we will describe detailed instructions separately.

This modification will be useful for those who play online and want to experiment with mods. You can easily switch between the modified and standard versions of Elden Ring.

Although Elden Ring was released a couple of months ago, there are already modifications online aimed at improving the graphics quality. This mod reworks the visuals using Reshade filters and completely changes the lighting system.

In the world of Elden Ring, there are over a dozen different merchants located in various parts of the game world. We have detailed them in a separate guide. The problem is that each of them offers a specific type of goods. If you find this system inconvenient, use this modification. After installing it, the range of goods available from merchants will significantly expand.

An inconvenient camera is one of the main problems in FromSoftware games. This mod allows you to get rid of automatic screen centering. Additionally, the modification disables camera reset when trying to lock onto a target if there is none nearby. As a result, playing will be much more comfortable.

This modification is useful for those who found Elden Ring too difficult. With it, you can increase attack power, reduce incoming damage, and increase the number of healing flasks.

This mod is for those who want to challenge themselves. After installing it, mobs and bosses will be much stronger, the artificial intelligence will become unpredictable, and the number of Sites of Grace will be reduced several times.

For many players, Malenia turned out to be the most difficult boss in Elden Ring. But this mod will make her an even more dangerous opponent. The mod author has added new moves and attack chains to the girl, as well as reworked Malenia's AI to better respond to your actions. As a result, you will have to relearn her behavior and develop new battle tactics.

Another modification that makes the game even harder. Changes will affect bosses, individual regular enemies, and traps in dungeons. But the Great Runes will become more useful than before — many of them will have new passive bonuses.

Pause was absent in all FromSoftware projects, except for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. With this mod, you can stop the game at any moment. There is another way to pause the game. We talked about this in a separate guide.

If an easy difficulty level is not enough for you or you want to experiment with the game's capabilities, we suggest using cheats. With their help, you can enable immortality mode, fly through walls, kill mobs with one hit, and much more.

In particular, you can skip the tedious wandering through the sewers and immediately teleport to Mohg, the Omen. This boss opens access to the darkest ending of the game.

Talismans in Elden Ring could only slightly increase your stats. This mod makes talismans more effective.

In Elden Ring, many swords and spears can be imbued with special effects (buffs). By default, they last for a limited period of time. This mod allows them to be permanent. Additionally, buffs can be used on all types of weapons.

As with talismans, great runes did not give players a significant advantage. This mod significantly increases their characteristics.

The iconic armor of the Archangel of Justice from Diablo 4 in Elden Ring. It will replace the ugly Malformed Dragon Set, which can be obtained as a reward for killing the optional boss known as the Dragon Tree Sentinel.

If you prefer the style of the classic Diablo 2, pay attention to the Amazon armor set. In the game, it replaces the Night's Cavalry Set, which drops from the boss of the same name.

A modification that changes the Cleanrot Set to Jaina's outfit from the Warcraft series. The set can be obtained from Cleanrot Knights found towards the end of the game.

This modification adds the outfit of Sylvanas Windrunner to the game. Her characteristic armor replaces the Bloodhound Knight Set. You will obtain it after defeating the Bloodhound Knight in the Volcano Manor.

Almost every game with cute girls that is released on PC gets a Nude mod. With it, you can completely undress the main heroine. Such a modification also exists for the Elden Ring.

In Elden Ring, Ranni is associated with a questline, upon completion of which you can unlock the most popular ending. If you want to see what Ranni looks like without clothes, use this modification.
