Abyss Watcher and Farlan Great Sword Animation Resource Library

First off, this is not a mod, but a resource library for experienced modders.

Abyss Watchers and Farron Greatsword Animation Repository

🎮 **Resource Introduction**

This is an animation resource library from the "Dark Souls III" BOSS Abyss Watcher. It also contains the Ash User's Flan Greatsword animations. These animations have been retargeted to the player character for modders to use in their own mods.

💡 **IMPORTANT NOTE**

• This is not a playable mod
• Contains only collection of hkx animation files
• Putting it directly into the mods folder will have no effect

📝 Instructions for use

Each file name corresponds to its original animation in the anibnd file of Abyss Monitor c3040. Please view it in DSAnimStudio to understand the specific meaning of each animation.

⚠️ **Note:**

• There is a separate running attack animation in the file, but DSAnimStudio shows that the game is not using it, instead using the first light attack animation as the running attack
• There is also a separate parry animation, but it is visually indistinguishable from other shield parries and therefore not included

🌟 **Usage Suggestions**

These high-quality animation assets are ideal for creating new weapon mods, combat system improvements, or character movement replacements. It is recommended to preview all animations in DSAnimStudio to understand their specific effects before integrating them.
