Huge Elden Ring mod brings Hogwarts Legacy broom flight and spells to the Lands Between

pcgamer.com:

By the end of my 50-hour Hogwarts Legacy(opens in new tab) playthrough, I'd had my fill of solving Merlin Trials(opens in new tab) and exploding poachers, but one thing I never got tired of was hopping onto my broom and going for a ride. It's rare to get a sandbox game that lets us so quickly carve off in any direction with no obstacles. It's an inspiring dose of freedom, which is probably why a dedicated Elden Ring modding team has been quick to bring some of Hogwarts Legacy's magic to the Lands Between.

The modding team, known as Garden of Eyes, released its Hogwarts Legacy-themed mod pack last week for Patreon(opens in new tab) supporters (as spotted by Kotaku(opens in new tab)). The current iteration of the mod is packing seven spells straight out of the game (including a few unforgivable curses), a dopey-looking Harry Potter skin, an Elder Wand weapon, and of course, flying broomsticks.

Judging by the showcase video above, the brooms really work as advertised. It looks like you summon and control the broom like you would usually control Torrent, except you can angle up and take to the skies. My first question after seeing a discount Harry Potter (Harold Plopper?) soar over Limgrave is whether the gift of flight kills all sense of danger in Elden Ring. The answer is probably yes when it comes to rank-and-file enemies, but like in Hogwarts Legacy, the broom also allows you to be picky about what you fight and in what order you explore the world, which sounds like a cool premise for a second or third Elden Ring playthrough.

I wager some boss fights become even more thrilling with verticality: The video demonstrates how Starscourge Radahn (one of Elden Ring's coolest boss battles) will try to snipe airborne wizards
