This Dark Souls Mod Combined EVERYTHING

Dark Souls Archthrones is a mod that does an incredibly tasteful job of combining elements from Demons Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro and Elden Ring to make an experience of its own truly resembling an experience that would be a worthy sequel in the series. I consider this the closest thing to Dark Souls 4 that we have ever received. This is just the Demo covering about 30% of the finished product thats yet to release. This includes 16 bosses, and 5 Major areas setup like the archstones of Demons Souls. For my other youtube channels and platforms checkout the pinned comment below!

A link for this mod please ?

[@kraosdadafusfus8034]

i love Heide's boss, he's voiced by Vaati and pulls something no other boss in Dark Souls does: He stops holding back when his health runs out and instakills you.

[@broccolin]

Archthrones is by far the best overhaul mod to date, with authenticity and atmosphere much more in mind, and its goal being to create a more faithful sequel to DS2/1. By what I've collected, there'll be 10 more areas, including a new Archthrone and subareas.

[@GigaFloyd]

You're not fooling anyone, dev team.

[@broccolin]

@@GigaFloyd Huh

[@maoribrotha53]

More faithful sequel lol.

[@broccolin]

@@maoribrotha53 Yes, DS3 was very unconnected, though it's ambitious for a mod.

[@maoribrotha53]

@@broccolin The mod has stuff from Bloodborne, Sekiro and Elden Ring lol. Original DS3 is definitely more connected to the series.

[@spiritrunner8351]

This mod looks - very much - like a Prequel effort. The lands are still somewhat divided, hence the archstones. But ruin has not set in yet. the winged corvians are white-feathered and more human. The giant knights are untarnished. Lots of details just scream things are younger and more or less 'in their prime'. I suspect this story will be about the building of the firelink shrine rather than re-awakening its use.

[@taylorport3463]

That would be a really cool origin story but it seems more like Dark Souls 2 where everything is loosely inspired, feels kind of out of touch - unless that was the intention in which case it's just original.

[@broccolin]

Their description is a little bit misleading. If it were set before the events of DS3 there would be several discrepancies and overlaps, so it's more like a remake while being set back in the timeline.

1:44:05 it's the Milfanito song from DS2 the three girls that sing in Shrine of Amana ^_^

[@wormskull2454]

It is really cool how they fused the lore from every game too! “The Firekeeper was born in Lothric & created The Nexus out of her own free will.”

[@JacksonThings]

Video is awesome! Seeing the runs happen live is even better! Gimme all the Squill!

[@jugomebu]

Damn this was amazing to watch, thanks for sharing this run with such a dedicated mod.

[@Casketkrusher_]

This mod is insane, this is by far one of the most insane mods I've seen of games I've played, there are many games I play with huge modding communities, but this takes the cake, this is a completely new game!

[@ayonmetar2301]

That mod is amazing oO I expected stuff to just be shuffled around randomizer style. But it doesn't feel like a patchwork of several parts stitched together at all.

[@sabrewolf479]

I'm not going to lie. Seeing you "struggle" with this has convinced me I have zero, and I mean ZERO chance.

[@Zeldafand]

I feel many Dark souls like games and mods seem to miss what made the souls games actually work. Especially in this instance, having Sekiro enemies in DS3 is a fundamentally flawed idea simply because the enemies were designed with Sekiro's mechanics in mind. Multiple parries of rapid attacks to eventually break poise and go in for a fatal strike. you can't really do that in DS3 so the fact they have so many Sekiro enemy movesets is not a smart idea. They are far too quick for the intended mechanics. In a way, they're only scary because they are broken for a DS3 engine. Additionally they seem to think Difficulty for Difficulty sake is the way to go but in reality, the DS games are only hard if you don't know what you're doing.

[@bladechild2449]

I mean I agree that Souls copiers do tend to get balancing way wrong. Even Lies of P gets it horribly wrong and is probably the best of the bunch. But with this Mod they get a little leeway because they're intentionally supplying it to a hardcore fanbase, and there is a sense of "what if sekiro bosses in Dark Souls" about it that most people are happy to grapple with. And let's not pretend FROM don't get it wrong either. Demon of Hatred is literally a Bloodborne dodge paced boss in Sekiro, the parry game. And Elden Ring is full of bosses that feel like they aren't attuned to the stamina base system essentially copied from DS3. A lot of them don't reward you with openings and just keep on going, and you don't have much of a way to stop them in their tracks, beyond stunning them with overpowered jumping attacks.

[@yikes6969]

what's bro yapping about

[@robby6382]

It's fun to see your raw first time reactions, breaks the unwavering chill vibe you give hah

[@im_cart8656]

oh god this is out?! i was waiting like 2 years for this!

[@rodneyabrett]

I just finished all the content of this mod, and had a great time. Really amazing mod and it was crazy seeing Sekiro assets and move sets in this but they implemented them very well.

[@ElementEvilTeam]

I think fromsoft should hire the archthrones team to create the next souls like game

[@Cricket0021]

no.

[@razztastic]

It's obviously not going to happen. FromSoft is more than capable of doing this themselves, but they need to be mindful of deadlines and not overworking themselves.

[@bunnychi5913]

tbh i hope these guys get to make their own studios an make their stand alone high quality soulslikes so fromsoft finally has some competition

[@jcselement]

Stupid comment

[@jcselement]

Stupid comment

[@smartmouthriveria]

He’s way more of a hardcore game than I thought because would’ve deleted the shit out of that game after that one boss. Good job

[@DonutSwordsman]

the voice acting would sound less weird if it had echo to the room like all video games

[@bbcIover]

love the content bro

[@beedykh2235]

This is mind blowing!

[@ostragaroth]

im glad i suggested Archthrones when he asked what he should No hit next 😎

[@NorthNova13]

This is the first video of yours I've seen and It's easy to see how much you like this mod because it's written all over your face. This is an awesome showcase for the mod. There's only one problem I'm a Sony Pony so no mods for me. 🙃Maybe someday hopefully. It's probably definitely going to happen for sure. I'm not coping

[@FRANK45CASTLE]

.This mod is the hardest DS content ive ever played. Its so good though.

[@The_Walking_Dude]

Nioh 2 is one of the best souls-like games in the library. The number of hours I've put in that game is criminal. Highly recommend a light Ninjitsu build.

[@taylorport3463]

I think the writing could be a bit better; some of the names are kinda funky, and I am not really a fan of dual bossfights either, but it's really cool and it shows what is possible and will be possible knowing this project is still in the works.

[@adonisjorgehuicicorrales3596]

Awesome mod dude. Thanks for sharing, but it should be easier if you use swords with both hands since you barely used the shield in boss fights.

[@Tp_hedgelinghog]

I'd actually getting a PC and DS3 for it just to play this mod.

[@Cooperal]

Funny thing. For a long time now I've dreamt of a convergence project, wishing for what was essentially a remake of DS1 and DS2 that is engineered with DS3s mechanics where coop/pvp multiplayer overlaps and a single character can choose to migrate between Lordran, Drangleic or Lothric after each playthrough to continue finding new gear (fashion) and spells exclusive to those worlds. You can warp back to the worlds where you have already defeated the final boss to clean up anything missed (including progressing it to NG+) but you need to complete the world that you are on to unlock another world of your choosing. Picture it. One minute you are fighting through the Upper Undead Burg, next you are being summoned as a very otherworldly helper in the Forest of Fallen Giants or the High Wall of Lothric. You can go help the Mirror Knight in DS2 but also continue your duty as a Spear of the Church. The whole thing with parallel universes colliding in this franchise helps it fit.

[@verminlordsoulberry8823]

i would love to try this mod. they put more effort than activision does with code and even more than Blizzard did to Overwatch. (i just wish it was in elden ring for convenience reasons)

[@HeyhoBrando]

Mods like this is why I wished I would have a pc or owners of the game would come out and be like “wanna help us bring this to console?”

[@kurdtcoben]

41:08 Rich of you to say that after making fun for the game having control tutorial hints at the beginning...

[@nak3dxsnake]

Bro. Imagine someone does a seamless co-op for this.

Heeey....one of my favorite youtubers🤙 wish I had a computer to play around with games like this😂

[@OctoMatoe]

If you want one, youll get one. And you are in luck, Dark Souls games are easy to run so you dont need to go overkill with the specs

[@audunfoodreview]

I have been able to play every soulslike released by fromsoft on a 1050ti, ryzen 1500x. Nowadays you can get parts better than that for very cheap, so if you're able to scrap together some money for a PC you'll definitely be able to play these games!

[@SKBoa]

Keeper of the old gods looks pretty much like he uses Sir Alonne's moveset from DS2

[@williamwood5566]

44:11 VAATIVIDYA BOSSFIGHT!

[@StrappingYoungLadam]

As much as I know I'd be terrible at it. Kremmel looks like an awesome fight. I still suck at fighting Radagon so it would take me forever to even see phase 2.

[@Hepheat75]

Miyazaki is gonna see this mod and say "hell yeah!"

[@littletweeter1327]

Played the demo on nexus and it’s incredible. So fun

[@luckydapirate]

is there a way to swap between ds3 and the mod? i still like to pvp on ds3

[@ayonmetar2301]

It weirds me out that I needed to see Sekiro bosses' movesets being shield parried to realize that making an entire game about parrying everhing with a Katana is the most unpractical idea. Katanas are way less sturdy than medieval western weapons (and shields of course) and dull/chip fairly quickly when parrying attacks with them. Never thought about that while playing Sekiro because my monkey brain was satisfied with it looking cool.

[@daftpunkfan15]

Random thought but I think it's neat that From and Bandai are seemingly ok with fan projects like this unlike certain other companies....

[@kristopheralonge2813]

When I heard the narrator in the intro sequence I was like........Grimoire Weis?

[@wormskull2454]

@19:04 This is the point I would have wished I picked Black Firebombs as my starting gift instead of the Raw Gem. Wait were they even an option? I’m too lazy to rewind and look at that menu lol.

[@Jachochannel]

how can I play the mod ?

[@vcp2077]

This is so cool! I wonder why they chose DS3 and not Elden Ring for its development

[@Thatonedude917]

Did they get the voice of War from Darksiders?

[@StevenWolf275]

yEAH GOOD GAME MOD

[@GalaxyEchoes]

DONT FORGET TO CLIP MOMENTS!

[@shacuras8201]

It's crazy how carefully and defensively you play these bosses. On Janara you punished almost no attack and just went for slow and safe, I would have played it so differently

[@Tarnthewarrior]

4:32 apostle Moarn? Irina? Origins of Castle Moarn maybe?

[@ddfk697]

they fricking modded godfrey inside ds3

[@JumperSC]

Make Yharnam the Painted World

[@adtseven]

When is the full game releasing?

[@MatthewTheUntitled]

When it's ready :D

[@akeneo1169]

There is one thing I think isn’t always consistent, and it’s the voice acting. Some sound like they came straight from a souls game, and some sound like amateur voice actors that don’t really hold a candle to the voice acting in the souls games

[@user-sr2rx4kz1d]

Epic🔥

[@Countdownsmiles]

Keeper of the old gods sounds like Vision, i feel like that voice was in soulsborne somewhere but i can't place it

[@nobunagamaximus6875]

It´s actually Vaati

[@Countdownsmiles]

@@nobunagamaximus6875 Oooh that's who it is lol. I knew i recognized that voice from something souls related

[@zZiL341yRj736]

The hell, it's a mix of three games but it looks like non of those.

[@collenjets123]

not even just the three, it uses elden ring and sekrio assets/movesets and shit as well.

[@RoyalDacree]

44:10 Is that Vaati? It stg it sounded like him at the end

[@springshowers4754]

yes

[@EHShinobi]

Okay, hear me out... Soulsborne games aren't action-rpgs. They're rhythm exploration games with jump scares. Each boss has a rhythm you need to figure out in order to beat them, right? Don't follow the rhythm, you get squashed. It's Gothic Parappa the Rapper.

[@voidscar]

Wow, I haven't seen any content since the Boneless Pizza meme and youtube unsubbed me from your channel. Welcome back.

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

Definitely better than convergence mod tbh.

[@ellie_ex]

parry thrones

[@AloofOof]

that looks too difficult for me

[@milktenders6219]

Their firelink looks way more beautiful than the actual DS3 one, DS3 really drained all the color from the game, and I’m not a fan of the dingy aesthetic it had. Nice to see the archthrones team agreed the game needs color

[@dushiemcbag]

This guys voice sounds like AI

[@horizonbumpy2828]

people still use ''#'' in the title...?

[@sengan2475]

Yeah I get "woah its vati how cool!" But the voice acting is extremely jarring and way worse than everything else in the game. Hope they change it for full release

[@DonutSwordsman]

i like how you dont link the mod

[@SuperLPGaming]

no link, no sub

[@tristanward9937]

I'll never understand why people who can't dodge don't use a shield. So many deaths could have been avoid if he just used a shield.

[@bekosen8002]

YARAK

[@stwbf2729]

The ds3 faraam helmet model does not fit the character, and is an overall down grade from ds2

[@razztastic]

I'm actually kind of mad the Archthrones team wasted such a cool and obviously edgy character on a shoddy, goofy voice actor like VaatiVidya. Such a miscast that it doesn't even serve any purpose as a *meme.*

[@bpooboi]

Imagine an ai mod

[@FerPaleta]

I was hyped to try this until I saw Kremmel. What a load of crap. I hate relentless bosses like Radagon, and Kremmel looks even worst

[@jackbalmy1392]

Sounds like a skill issue
