Summary
A newDark Souls 3mod adds seamless co-op, allowing players to experience the game from the tutorial to the final boss with up to five other players. ThisDark Souls 3mod is already available for players, though the creator has warned about potential bugs and issues, as the mod is still in its alpha version.
Dark Souls 3is one of the most popular FromSoftware titlesand the third entry in its most iconic franchise. When it released in 2016,Dark Souls 3offered players a challenging experience that blended a dark atmosphere and storytelling with the franchise’s iconic difficulty. While the game officially offers some form of cooperative play through summoning friends, it doesn’t have a classic, straightforward way to play with them across the entire game with a shared save file. However, those who have always wanted to face the challenges ofDark Souls 3alongside friends should be excited.
Nexus Mods user Yuihas shared a mod with the community that allows players to team up with up to five friends to tackleDark Souls 3’s difficult challenges. As explained by Yui, with this mod, players can create a co-op session and play the entire game together. If one of them dies, they will simply respawn at the last bonfire they rested at. Unlike the normalDark Souls 3co-op experience, defeating bosses and clearing areas won’t kick players out of the session.

Additionally, the modder has synchronizedDark Souls 3’s NPCdialogues and talk events, as well as improved the game’s peer-to-peer connection system. Players can join a game from anywhere in the world, as well as rejoin and resume the game where they left off. Yui mentioned that the mod makes the game a little easier, so they’ve added a few adjustments to try to balance it out.
Players worried about being banned for using this mod can rest assured, as it prevents the game from connecting to FromSoftware’s matchmaking servers, making it almost impossible to get banned. Players can’t access their Seamless Co-Op save files in the base game, and Yui strongly advises players not to try to revert save files, as this could result in a ban.
The Nexus user explained that the mod is currently in its alpha phase, meaning there are still plenty of unresolved issues that could negatively impact the gameplay experience. They’ve asked players to report any bugs so they can be fixed in a future patch. Players who want to try thisDark Souls 3modcan already download it from the modder’s Nexus profile.
