New Elden Ring Torrent fixes a crucial issue with the ghostly horse

Elden Ring’s Torrent is a brave and stalwart steed, the one who picks you up after death and decides you should be Melina’s knight in Tarnished armor, but valor only counts for so much in the action RPG – and, in the late game, not very much at that. Challenges in Leyndell and beyond often prove too much for the trusty Torrent, but a new Elden Ring mod aims to fix that. Modder Admiral30 created the Invincible Torrent mod to address the problem of Torrent’s HP and keep horseback combat viable throughout the game.

“In late-game areas, a fart is enough to get your horse killed,” the modder says. “So it’s better to just have an invincible horse at this point.”

As Admiral30 points out, Torrent’s HP doesn’t scale, so while your health and fortitude continue to rise the further you make it in The Lands Between, poor Torrent remains as green as the day he found you.
