After 12 years, Dark Souls 2 is finally playable in co-op without interruptions

Yui, a modder, has released an alpha version of a mod called Dark Souls 2: Seamless Co-op, which allows players to team up with up to five others without interruptions from fog walls. The mod enables a full playthrough from the tutorial to the final boss in one co-op session, with synchronized progression and respawning at the last bonfire after dying. Unique items like "Pharros' Heliograph" and "Petrified Fingers" have been added to maintain some of the game's traditional challenge. Yui is actively supporting the mod and addressing performance issues, particularly for players using Intel processors.

How to mine the petrified Gammeltroll in Valheim

The Gammeltroll is a 30-foot tall creature found in the Deep North biome of Valheim. After defeating it, the Gammeltroll transforms into a statue called the "Petrified Gammeltroll." To mine this statue, players must first defeat the Ashlands boss, Fader, to build the Eternal Pyre, which generates embers. Players then need to collect seal pelts from adult seals in the Deep North and craft ember charges. By throwing these charges at the petrified Gammeltroll's ankles, players can destroy it and collect the Petrified Tissue resource. This resource is heavy, cannot pass through wooden portals, and can be processed in a blast furnace.
