The modding team has released a fresh gameplay clip for Archthrones, the ambitious Dark Souls 3 mod that’s fueling strong anticipation among fans. The footage spotlights a brutal encounter with the Crystal Guardian, an apparent mini-boss that tests speed, precision, and strategy in equal measure.
The scale of Archthrones is drawing comparisons to a full DLC. Early expectations suggest five additional worlds, each bringing new bosses and distinct environments to explore. Beyond new locations, fans are looking at changes across the kingdom of Lothric and the possibility of an alternate narrative arc that reshapes familiar events.
In addition to these plans, modders are exploring elements inspired by Demon’s Souls, including features akin to soul shapes and broader world trends. This infusion aims to intensify the challenge and deepen the game’s dark, atmospheric feel.
