In a remarkable fusion of gaming worlds, a new mod has emerged for Elden Ring that allows players to embody the iconic monster hunter Geralt of Rivia. Developed by the talented modder known as therealsqueam, the Witcher—Moveset Mod introduces a comprehensive fighting style inspired by Andrzej Sapkowski’s beloved character, offering a fresh take on the gameplay experience in The Lands Between.
Features of the Witcher Moveset Mod
This innovative mod not only incorporates Geralt’s signature combat techniques but also allows players to cast his renowned signs, enhancing the depth of gameplay. Here are some key features:
- Dual Sword Moveset: Both swords utilize a shared moveset that draws heavily from the acrobatic combat style seen in The Witcher 3. Players can unleash a series of light attacks that can be repeated until stamina is depleted, followed by a powerful leaping heavy attack.
- Combat Techniques: The mod includes specialized techniques for running attacks, roll and backstep follow-ups, and jumping strikes, providing a dynamic combat experience.
- Witcher Signs: All five Witcher incantations are supported, each infused with unique mechanics. For instance, the Aard sign can knock back enemies with a light attack or create a damaging shockwave with a heavy attack. The Igni sign allows for a continuous stream of fire or a devastating infernal tsunami.
While the mod appears to offer a powerful build, therealsqueam has taken steps to ensure balance within the challenging landscape of Elden Ring. The Axii sign, for example, allows players to temporarily charm enemies but requires close proximity and a vulnerable casting time. Similarly, the Quen sign provides a brief shield against light attacks but only mitigates damage from heavier strikes for a limited duration.
It is important to note that the mod necessitates the installation of Elden Ring’s expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, to function properly. For those who have thoroughly explored the narrative branches of CD Projekt’s trilogy, this mod offers a captivating diversion, bridging the gap until the anticipated release of The Witcher 4.
