Elden Ring: Ascended available to play free now, but only for bravest among you

You're all braver than us

For those of you who relish an almost impossible challenge, then Elden Ring Ascended is for you. Though, once again, we must reiterate that this is an expansion not to be taken lightly because it will test you to your limits.

If, like me, you found Elden Ring already difficult, turn back now and save yourself the pain of having to even consider this mod; as incredible as it is, it’s meant for only the bravest, and some may say foolhardy, amongst you.

This Elden Ring boss battle royale is hard enough – imagine it in Elden Ring Ascended!

Even the modder behind it says as much. “Warning: This mod is extremely hard! If you don't like hard or unfair fights don't play this mod.” And, if you take the time to read the comments on the Elden Ring Ascended NexusMods page, you’ll see that plenty of gamers are commenting about how tough an experience it is.

The only person we feel is capable of defeating this expansion is the streamer who defeated seven FromSoftware games in a row. And even then, they’d struggle.

There are three new modes included within this expansion, which are Age of Stars Mode, Age of Frenzy Mode, and Age of Death Mode. A lot of effort has gone into making this expansion and it shows. Here’s an overview of the changes:

  • Enemy Physics Changed and Enemy AI Changed
  • New Armor Set Effects on Each Piece
  • New Talisman Effects
  • New Weapon Effects
  • New Enemy Status Debuffs
  • Altering Armor gives different Effects
  • Spell, Item, and Weapon Art Buffs stack
  • Changeable Weapon Arts on each weapon
  • New Item placements

“Well, it's time for more suffering,” said one gamer, and we agree, suffering will be had if you embark on this journey. But what is gaming without the risk of rage and defeat at every given opportunity? Why, it’s an experience not worth having.

Should you desire to try Elden Ring Ascended for yourself, there’s a lot of other details about the mod, as well as how to address any FromSoftware patches, on the page; read it all to make sure you don’t get stuck before you even begin.

All that’s left for me to say is good luck – you’re going to need it.
