Dark Souls fans, here is something really cool for you today. Modder ‘VIZZO’ has released a mod that introduces a Sekiro-like deflection mechanic to the game. This mod will change the way you fight your enemies. Thus, I only recommend using it if you’ve already mastered the game’s vanilla combat mechanics.
Deflecting attacks doesn’t use up stamina and keeps you from taking damage. The mechanic is timing-based when entering guard. It’s tricky to master but worth it, since perfect deflections can break your enemy’s guard. How many deflections you need depends on the enemy’s health. Weak enemies might need only two, while tougher ones, like Gundyr, can take more than ten deflections before their guard breaks.
All in all, this is an awesome new mod for Dark Souls 3. It lets you enjoy the game with a more advanced combat system. Mods like this can really bring new life to older games. So, kudos to the modder for making it.
You can go ahead and download the mod from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find a preview video for it. This video will give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from it. So, be sure to watch it.
Speaking of Dark Souls 3, I also suggest downloading the demo for Dark Souls: Archthrones. Dark Souls: Archthrones is a cool Demon’s Souls-inspired mod for Dark Souls 3. You can also use this mod to play DS3 in first-person mode.
In January 2025, we also informed you about the Visual Overhaul Mod. This mod makes Dark Souls 3 look much better. It removes the annoying texture and object pop-ins. It also fixes the overly shiny, metal-like look of some surfaces. On top of that, it improves shadows, lighting effects, and adds better reflections and dynamic shadows to the game.
As we know by now, Sony does not plan to bring Bloodborne to PC. So, the only way to experience it is via the PS4 emulator, shadPS4. That, or you can use this mod to make DS3 feel more like Bloodborne. If you are a Bloodborne fan, you should give it a try.
Finally, we have the Dark Souls 3 Seamless Co-Op Mod. This mod allows you to play DS3 in co-op with your friends. This is a must-have mod that can greatly enhance your gaming experience. So, don’t sleep on it.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
