    • New Armor: Necromancer’s Set. The bloodied bone armor of once-powerful Necromancer Maveth.

      • This set is based on Dark Souls 3’s Dark Set which was originally ported by Snivy101. I added cloth physics and retextured it for the Necromancer Set, but you can purchase the original version from the Colosseum Shop.

    • New Sorcery: Stake of Maveth, a quick firing shotgun blast of Blight. This Legendary Sorcery must be balanced well as the Blight it inflicts upon the user is heavy.

    • New Incantation: Death’s Cure for those that find themselves on the brink, this Incantation will alleviate all Death buildup.

  • New Mechanic: Tutorials, Rumours, and Notes. As you play, particularly in the starting areas, you’ll now find and be given various tutorial, rumour, and note items. Inspect these in your inventory to learn more about the various systems introduced with Dark Moon.

    • There are also new loading screen hints for some lesser systems the mod introduces.

  • Brand new wiki! This has been a thing for a couple weeks at the time of this update, but the wiki has been completely overhauled to look nicer, be more readable, and scale much further.

    • The URL for the wiki has now also changed. It is now erdm.wiki, short and sweet.

    • The backbone of this is Bookstack, a great open-source website base that I’ve modified a lot to suit Dark Moon. Thanks to Bookstack it’s easier than ever for people to contribute changes to the wiki so if you’re interested in doing that let me know!

  • The main HUD has gotten a small overhaul to get rid of some clutter.

    • If you prefer the old one just delete the file 01_000_fe.gfx from mod > menu

  • Updated installation. With this release Dark Moon now comes bundled with ModEngine2 to make things easier. It also now makes use of Gideon by ivi and Alt Saves by chainfailure.

    • For a full rundown please read or watch the new install guide.
