This mod adds Malika Keystone to almost all bosses in Elden's Circle.

Stake of Marika for All Bosses

✨ **Adds Malika Keystone to all bosses** - Completely transforms your boss battle experience in Elden Circle!

---

🎯 Module function

This mod modifies the Elden Circle map to place Malika Keystone in front of almost all boss arenas. This means you no longer have to trek back to the arena every time you fail to challenge the boss!

📊 Detailed description

I created an **Excel spreadsheet** where you can see a list of all bosses that have Malika Keystone added to them.

**Things to note:**

  • Some bosses require interaction with specific items or NPCs to appear.
  • Some bosses only appear at night
  • Some bosses already have Malika Keystone

For bosses that already had a keystone, I placed the keystone closer to the arena entrance. But if it was already right in front of the arena, I didn't make any changes.

🛠️ Installation Guide

**UXM installation method:**

  • 📥 Download the module from the "File" tab
  • 📦 Unzip the downloaded .zip file
  • 🔧 Use UXM to unpack "Elden's Ring"
  • 🔄 Replace the UXM unpacked files (in the "map" and "mapstudio" folders) with the module files
  • ✅ Re-open UXM and click the "Patch" button

**ModEngine2 installation method:**

  • 📥 Download the module from the "File" tab
  • 📦 Unzip the downloaded .zip file
  • 📁 Put the contents in the .zip ("map" folder) into your "mod" folder

🎮 Custom options

If you don't want to add Malika Keystone to "all" bosses, for example just mainline bosses, you can look at the **table** and only place the "mxx_xx_xx_xx.msb.dcx" files related to the bosses you want into your "mod" folder.

💡 **Tip:** Some bosses use the same file because they are on the same map.

🎮Enjoy a smoother Boss challenge experience!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
