FromSoftware’s Elden Ring is considered the developer’s crowning achievement for many—although Bloodborne and Sekiro fans may have something to say. It’s brutal, beautiful, and boy, it can be hard. Outside of occasional summons for boss fights and Ashes, Elden Ring sadly doesn’t come equipped with a proper co-op setting.

On the other hand, the Elden Ring Seamless Co-op mod rectifies this issue, so let’s get it installed.
