Elden Ring mods are either a gift or a curse. In some cases, they transform From Software’s open-world masterpiece into a rugged, rewarding game of survival. In others, they turn every enemy and NPC into Malenia, at which point, you can pretty much give up even trying to make it past the Gatefront Ruins.

That’s right – if you mess with Elden Ring by randomising its code, it’ll punish you with a brand-new, ultra-strong boss that is also
