A pretty slick mod forElden Ringturns some of the fan-favorite bosses and NPCs into summonable companions, tweaking the range of areas where you can summon a spirit so that they become Skyrim-style followers rather than occasional allies likethe default spirit ashes.

So if you’ve ever wanted characters like Melina, Sellen, Millicent, Ranni, or Blaidd the Half-Wolf to hang out with you as you tromp about the lands between, well, now’s your time. Rebalancing and empowering these characters in unique ways, modder Satoshi98 has given them behaviors and powers more appropriate to the general Elden Ring experience rather than how they appear otherwise, and they don’t have the glow of spirit ash summons either.

Perhaps odder, however, is the range ofothercharacters modder Satoshi98 has added to Elden Ring as buddies—lots of the bosses, mostly. Characters like Malenia, Radagon, a Crucible Knight, or even more obscure—how about summoning big monsters like Malenia’s Goddess of Rot form, or Morgott, the Omen King? How about giant muscle-bound Godfrey or Maliketh, The Black Blade?
