Dark Souls 3 Seamless Co-Op Mod Is Available for Download
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/dark-souls-3-seamless-co-op-mod-is-available-for-download/
Earlier this month, we informed you about the Seamless Co-Op Mod for Dark Souls 3. And today, I’m happy to report that this mod is available for download. So, waste no time and download this must-have mod.
Going into more details, the Seamless Co-Op Mod allows you to play with friends throughout the entirety of the game with no restrictions. With this, it’s theoretically possible to play the game from the tutorial up to the final boss completely in one co-op session. This will be a dream come true for a lot of Dark Souls fans.
What’s crucial to note is that if a player dies, they will respawn in the same world at the last bonfire they rested at. The session will not be terminated. Moreover, defeating enemy bosses and clearing areas no longer sends co-operators home.
All fog walls/barriers that usually restrict the multiplayer zone are gone, and all NPC dialogue and talk events will be synchronised. When one player rests at a bonfire the world state will reset for all players. Plus, game progression events completed in online play will also progress the game in your own world.
The mod supports up to six players. This means that you can play in co-op with five of your friends. And that’s not all. The mod overhauls Dark Souls III’s peer-to-peer connection system, using Steam’s newer networking API. Thus, you should expect a more stable and robust multiplayer experience.
