If you are excited about the Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree but can’t wait to experience more open world gameplay, then the Eldenlands mod is for you. With a complete revamp of the Elden Ring with its own set of DLC on the way, Eldenlands wants to make FromSoftware’s great opus a little more like traditional MMOs and RPGs, with plenty of massive changes and a slew of new content.
An overhaul comes in the form of tailpower2’s Elden Ring mod “Eldenlands Remastered”, a revamp of the previous Eldenlands mod that wants to turn FromSoftware’s Elden Ring into a “systematically new game” inspired by both MMORPGs and traditional RPGs as well. With the Elden Ring DLC release date possibly so far away, that should fill that void.
While we’re all waiting for Elden Ring DLC, this mod already has DLC, with the latest expansion “The Master Inside” aiming to tell a story about how you obtained the power from a future version of yourself, and use that to help the “Four Great Masters”, And there are also new subclasses to choose from, just like specializations in World of Warcraft.
The Eldenlands Elden Ring DLC is just the tip of the iceberg too, with plenty of system changes in the mode to radically change how you build your character and interact with The Lands Between.
What’s new in Elden Ring mod Eldenlands
Here are all the new features in Elden Ring Eldenlands:
- Character builds benefit from the appropriate role (eg Snow Witch theme or Hemorrhage build)
- Beginner classes have been reworked like an MMO: each has an item and a specialty
- Unique drops have been reworked: items can be found in similarly themed areas (Lightning Ashes in Altus Plateus for example) to encourage re-exploration
- Reworked merchants: They sell different goods, and unlock goods when you go through their missions
- Torrent changes: It can be summoned in more areas, but it has less health and needs to feed raisins
- New “Unstoppable” Attacks: Inspired by Sekiro’s risky attack system, Unstoppables pass through iframes, responses, and blocks, but can be countered with a headshot
- Attack Reflexes: When hit with certain attacks, enemies can freeze, burn, and more
- Raids: These will be added to the Elden Ring game as in MMOs, prefer co-op. Each of them will have a raid boss, and hitting them will give you a weapon with randomly generated modifiers
- World Map Layering System: You can now access the entire map ahead of time, but each area is scaled with a layering system, splitting up the challenge rather than each having a “completely different scaling”
There are a lot of quality-of-life and balance changes in Eldenlands, with more content and changes as mentioned, so if you want to revamp your game from FromSoftware before the Elden Ring DLC is released, the Eldenlands mod is definitely a great option. There’s even an Eldenlands Elden Ring DLC roadmap, with Bestiary and The Secrets of War expansion planned.
If you jump back into The Lands Between and just want a little more general help, we’ve got you covered with a look at the best Elden Ring weapons along with the best Elden Ring builds too. You might want to try something completely different instead, and that’s where we come in to take a look at the best PC games of all time (don’t worry, the Elden Ring made the list).
