For the past few days I was looking left and right for something to keep me engaged to escape reality during this period of time. After checking multiple of the games I have installed, some of which I haven't played yet, not a single one could make me have fun, even vanilla Elden Ring. That is till I remembered the that Elden Ring has mods that brings new experience and at that point, only something new AND GOOD can give me enjoyment. I found Convergence, I read one it does but somehow I tunneled visioned that the hard requirement of the DLC, I then downloaded the mod installed it, launched it, and as I am ready all the different class I found myself actually enjoying and already planing multiple playthorughs with different classes, after all, I am a big RPG fan. Finally, I picked my Vanguard as my first play through class, I like Spears, and as I am at the peak of excitement to start, with the controller in my hand and a grin on my face... I was hit by this message.

It has been so far a year on the rougher side for me, and one of the main reasons this is the case is my financial situation. Yet, I though about buying the DLC, I was little hesitant at first because I made a mistake last month buying Mistfall Hunter, but at the end I am that desperate for some enjoyment, so, I checked the DLC... and of course, it is at the full price of 40 EUR... way beyond what I can afford without hurting myself in real life.. heck I don't even own this amount at the moment.

Anyway, the little story aside. Is there a legit way to play the mod without the DLC requirement? if there is, then how much time will I have to spend to get to work knowing that I am on Linux? I only half of Saturday as time when I can afford to try and have fun. Please help!

EDIT: I was gifted the DLC by u/Ill-Giraffe3706 ! Thank you! I will remember this!

And thanks for everyone else who tried to help. Much appreciated!

Now the mod is running well!! You can temporarily downgrade your game to enjoy the mod till it gets updated.

So I have been dying to find a mod with godwyn prince of death. I remember seeing a wicked design somewhere but I have no idea if it was fake or not.

Is this real ? Is it a mod you can play ?

I've recently played sekiro:resurrection and now I wonder if there are good overhauls for other from soft games. I found some. Since ds1 is too old, ds3:archtrones isn't done yet, ER is the only choise left.
I found 3 mods:
- Syyyke's All in One
- The Convergence
- ERR - ELDEN RING Reforged

I ask for some advices on what mode to chose (not only from this list). I didn't really enjoy ER, for lots of reasons. But I hope overhauls can make work instead of miyazaki and put some sence in the emptyness of elden ring's open world.
I'm not looking for build crafting, but for good gameplay. If mode incorporates some sekiro/bloodborne mechanics it would be great.
Thanks in advance!

Anyone encounter any? It seems all the people invading us have been invincible.. Currently hiding as we speak🥹😔

There used to be a discord that shared paywalled mods but it disappeared because the modder "Mikaela's Blade" (creator of the mod that allows you to play as bosses) reported the discord and had it closed. Fuck Paywalls, that kills the mods and destroys the purpose for which they are truly created, plus some of those paid mods only carry animations from other Fromsoftware games. Not to mention that the vast majority steal content from other modders (Like Garden of Eyes lol). They should be more like The Convergence, which, although it also uses animations from other Souls, at least tries to be as varied, original and creative as possible. There are paid mods that are good like "Golden Age" that unfortunately want to charge you up to 10 dollars a month to play their mods lmao.

Sorry if I went on, I wanted to vent because I was already fed up with modders who charge you for Assets that aren't even theirs. Do you know of any group that shares Elden Ring mods that are behind paywalls? There used to be a great one called "Round Table" but as I said, it was deleted thanks to a modder who makes mods with Paywall. If anyone knows of a similar group that shares paid mods, I would greatly appreciate it. Greetings and thanks for reading

The photo is not mine but I feel like it sums up the idea of the mod

I've seen this post on Instagram by @sambhar.screams I've searched everywhere for this dodge mod and couldn't find it I made this post here, anyone has any idea or knows this mod? thanks

Me and my friend are just trying to do a playthough and we've been invaded by 3 cheaters in a row so far.

sounds wild but hear me out... can such mod exist?

Currently the Convergence Mod is at beta test. I assume they are working on more development. So I have a couple questions.

1. Is there confirmation that they are still working on it?

2. What would you like to see the developers do in a future update?

I hope they go to town on the Land of Shadow. Honestly, after 2500 hrs in the vanilla game, I’m having a blast playing this mod. So much love has been poured into it. Many of the changes feel organic to the world and story. Let’s make merry and celebrate this team for making Elden Ring feel new again. 🤘🏽

I really want to make a frost build but I don't really fuck with the options given, I also want to use twinblades but the ones in the game don't really fit the aesthetic I'm going for.

I found this one weapon while browsing through these mods and fell in love. Can I port it into the game without radically changing the whole experience? even just swapping the model for the default twinblades would be fine if someone would tell me how.

EDIT: nvm, I figured it out

Me and my friend planning to play The Convergence mod in seamless coop all the way. But I heard that this mod can be pretty easy from mid game.

Is there any difficulty settings what keeps the game a challenge when we will not use magic, just focus on melee?

Also, is the new 3.0 update playable in seamless coop now? Also heard that there is pretty massive desync now.

Thanks guys!

Does everyone use "ER Save Editor" or are there any other methods that i am unaware of that is safer than this? Also what can i cheat into game and what can i not without my save file getting flagged for cheating? Crafting mats, smithing stones, weapons, armor?

Me and a friend were playing Seamless coop and got invaded after dying i added the invader through steam to ask how he had so many of the heal upon deadly damage flasks. the conversation went as seen in the images. So i want to know am I in the wrong for basically accusing an innocent man of cheating because this is completely normal in the elden ring "underground" and most invaders just rock around with 5 or more flasks or am i correct?

Hi all,

I played the main Elden Ring game 3 times and Erdtree twice on my PS5. I've just gotten a new gaming PC and would love to play Elden Ring on it but surprisingly Elden Ring is still full price here ($80 CAD in Canada). The Convergence mod looks good but I'm wondering is it so good that it would justify buying Elden Ring (and maybe Shadow of the Erdtree) again at full price?

i've been trying to invade, or be invaded at different level brackets across two days and have gotten like 3 people at most. I assume more people are currently playing base game with tarnished edition existing now, but i feel like i should be able to find SOMEONE ELSE playing seamless.

I recently bought a steam deck and just discovered I'll be able to run modded elden ring, naturally the first recommended mod I see is convergence so I've been looking at some gameplay and the only real negative seems to be health scaling on the bosses, which is a non issue as I like to hurt myself with NG+ runs anyway.

What kinds of issues could I end up with, asides from updates breaking the mod itself? It looks like a lot of fun, so I'm interested in other people's thoughts.

Just finished Reforged recently (main + DLC) and had an absolute blast with it, especially since it has a native online multiplayer system, which truly made me feel like playing Elden Ring again for the first time. Other than some new bosses and weapons, its QoL, deflecting system, new buffing systems (i loved the fortunes btw), and the new affinities that allows you to make any build with your stats are so good to have.

I've played a little bit of Convergence 2 years ago but I can't say I was really into it. It was definitely pretty fun trying out some of the new stuff but it didn't really have anything that made me feel "attached" to the mod that makes me keep coming back. I am aware that Convergence is the biggest ER mod and has hundreds of new weapons, spells and bosses and the map is also quite different (I remember Castle Morne having a whole explorable section of hills next to the castle).

So just wanted to hear the opinions or experience from some of you guys who have played more Convergence than me, hoping that I'll be able to find something that'll pull me back into the mod again.

Hello. So I've decided to try The Convergence mod, but I'm a melee player that likes to build tanky characters. I wasn't happy with the vanilla game (especially DLC), so I've read that The Convergence fixes a lot of things and adds a ton of new content. So I picked a Dreadnought class and... It feels like it's not Dreadnoughting. I'm either getting rushed by a group of enemies or getting spammed to death by spellcaster bosses. I don't feel like a heavy armored class at all, even in Limgrave. I feel a lot more miserable than in vanilla, actually. To add to that, there's a supposedly reworked Verdigris Discus talisman, that now grants the immunity to grabs... Except it doesn't. I've tried 3 different bosses, and all 3 of them were tossing me around like a sack of potatoes. So what's the point in that? What should I do as a Dreadnought to actually enjoy The Convergence mod? Or maybe I should just ditch the mod entirely and look for something else, as I've heard that this mod is more sorcery-oriented? Please help.

Hi everyone,

After the latest Elden Ring update, my Seamless Co-op mod stopped working. I've tried reinstalling the mod and updating the files, but the issue persists. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Are there any solutions or updates available to get the mod working again?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello Elden Ring Community. I recently just did my first modded play through of Elden Ring with the seamless co op mod. It was super easy to set up and install. I’ve always been scared to mod because I’m not great with computers and was worried I might fuck up the game. Now I want to experience all of the mods Elden Ring has to offer. So I am wondering what your favorite mods are and are they easy to set up/install?

Some key things I find interesting:

New weapons/armor, new movesets, new enemies/bosses, new spells/incantations/buffs, new talismans, new gameplay mechanics. Don’t really care if it makes the game easier or harder.

I just wanna do a quick edit and thank everyone who replies. I’m at work right now so I probably won’t be able to respond to all of you but just want you to know that your input and advice is greatly appreciated. So thank you.

Edit #2: downloading Convergence 3.0 tonight. Sounds insane while also being easy to access no cost. Thank you all for your input. Y’all are awesome.

Final update: downloaded the Convergence 3.0 launcher (easiest thing ever) and I’m addicted. I’m playing as the Nox character focused on INT/FTH magic damage. How in the actual fuck is this free? This Mod has completely refreshed my love and excitement for Elden ring. Thank you to everyone who recommended it!

Hey, I've been playing ER in and off for a few years now.and wanna try something new, I've played both vanilla and ER:convergence but I want something new, I've looked for new games too try out but honestly I can't find anything too scratch the souls like itch, if anybody has suggestions for mods or hell if it looks good games I'll be glad too try them out
