How many times have you picked up a weird item in Elden Ring, only to be further confused by its description? FromSoftware's latest title has a treasure trove of items and consumables which can do everything from buff your character to open new paths, or even nerf you if you're feeling particularly masochistic.

So, you no longer have to gamble with items and either nerf yourself or use up a buff unnecessarily. The aptly named Detailed Item Descriptions mod adds, well, detailed descriptions of each and every item in the game, and also includes percentages for buffs or nerfs.

If an item gives you some sort of buff you will be able to know what it buffs, exactly how much it buffs it by, and how long the effect lasts for."

For instance, their version of the item description for Baldachin's Blessing reads: "Possessing this item reduces your maximum HP by 5%. Using this item reduces physical damage
