Elden Ring Mod Turns You Into Sekiro's Final Boss
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is arguably FromSoft’s most difficult game. A large part of that difficulty has to do with Sword Saint Isshin, the final boss in three out of four of Sekiro’s endings. And now, thanks to a new mod, you can feel the power of the Sword Saint in Elden Ring.
