Upcoming Elden Ring co-op mod will allow players to spectate and explore more areas together

If there’s anything you can say about Elden Ring, I think we can all agree that it’s a hard game. But FromSoftware did make sure to provide players with plenty of tools to get by, and the most prominent feature tool at the player’s disposal is the game’s co-op system. However, co-op has its limits that make the online experience less than desirable. A mod for Elden Ring seeks to solve the issues with co-op by introducing plenty of new features.

LukeYui, the modder looking to solve these problems, made a similar mod for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The YouTube video showing this new Elden Ring mod off gives us a look at loads of neat features. After seeing the video you may even wonder why FromSoftware decided to neglect to implement these seemingly great ideas. The truth is that Elden Ring‘s co-op system is essentially unchanged from the way it worked all the way back in Demon’s Souls. So FromSoftware could take some notes from this mod, as the features it adds make a lot of sense.

One of the most annoying aspects of Elden Ring’s co-op occurs when you’re fighting a boss. If the host of the game dies, other players get booted back to their own worlds. This forces players to have to regroup once again before being able to face the enemy once more. This mod will alleviate that pain by allowing defeated players to spectate each other upon death. Once the boss has been defeated, all players can then respawn without having to leave the game at all.

That isn’t all this mod is introducing to the game. Normally, players cannot access Evergaols, portals, or the Roundtable Hold together. But with the mod, players won’t have those boundaries and can freely explore the Lands Between without fear. Smaller but equally important features
