Dark Souls 3 has received a new mod called Archthrones, and the original Dark Souls 3 game is an action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment in 2016 as the third sequel in the series. The game is known for its high difficulty level, deep world, challenging combat system, and gloomy atmosphere.
The story takes place in a world called Lothric, where the player takes on the role of an unknown warrior called the Ashen One, whose goal is to overthrow the mighty Lords of Cinder and save the world from apocalypse. The game features a variety of enemies and bosses that require a strategic approach to overcome, and it offers exploration of abandoned castles, cathedrals, forests, and other dangerous places.
The Archthrones for Dark Souls 3 Enriches the Game
The new Dark Souls 3 Archthrones fan mod breathes new life into the popular game from FromSoftware. The creators have completely overhauled the massive game and aim to retell the story, but with a fresh twist. The narrative naturally draws from the Dark Souls universe, including elements from Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, and Elden Ring. The plan was to approach it with a fresh perspective.

The team behind the Archthrones mod takes great pride in their work, and to everyone’s surprise, they are releasing the mod completely free of charge. They mention on NexusMods that the mod will always be available at no cost, but those who wish to can support the team through Ko-Fi or Patreon.
The work has been demanding for those involved in the modding process. According to the description, there have been more than a good handful of people involved in the development of Archthrones. The creators also highlight the fantastic effort from the entire NexusMods and Dark Souls 3 modding community, as the mod could not have been created without their contributions. The team behind Archthrones has utilized a lot of tools from other modders for Dark Souls 3.
Although the work has been demanding, reports of various bugs are now coming in to the Archthrones team, and they are actively working to address them. Among the issues are bosses that don’t die, areas that don’t grant you souls after killing enemies, and various bugs related to weapons that can cause the game to crash.

In the Archthrones mod, players gain access to a variety of new weapons, armors, and NPCs to interact with. There’s also a whole host of new enemies and bosses to challenge yourself against. The mod is said to be as challenging as the original Dark Souls 3 game, but possibly a bit harder due to some imbalances in scaling and balancing at the moment.
The team has also implemented new gameplay mechanics, including guard counters, perfect blocking, deflection, back-step guard cancelling, and more. These mechanics are currently being balanced to provide an optimal gaming experience.
All in all, it seems there’s a lot of new content to experience, and if you want to revisit Dark Souls 3 in a new way, you can download the mod from NexusMods. As of now, only a demo is available, so what the team has planned for further development is currently unknown.
