About this mod Machine translation

Use the fog gate as a boundary to split the Elden Circle, allowing the fog gate to randomly teleport to other fog gate locations.

Elden Ring Fog Gate Randomizer

🌟 Core functions

Turn the Fog Gate in Elden's Circle into a permanent portal. Passing through the Fog Gate will randomly teleport you to another Fog Gate location. These teleport connections are fixed within specific seeds, bringing a new exploration experience every time you play!

🎮 Game Mode

**World Shuffle Mode**

  • Re-divide the world based on area boundaries, boss fog doors and teleport points
  • All boss doors, multiplayer doors and teleport points will be randomized

-Support DLC content

  • You can choose which doors must be passed through and control the game duration

**Dungeon Crawl Mode**

  • The open world is isolated from other areas
  • All progression is done through dungeons
  • More like a traditional Dark Souls foggate randomization experience
  • The Golden Seed Tree, Holy Grail Vial Fragments and Merchants have all been moved to the dungeon

🔧 Changes in game mechanics

**Affected content includes:**

  • All fog doors (boss fog walls and small multiplayer barriers)
  • Various transmission methods (portal, trap chest, coffin, large elevator, etc.)
  • Boss battle initialization
  • Eternal Prison
  • Malika Keystone

**Newly added items:** Return Bell - can teleport you back to the King's Chapel, and can also be used to escape from boss battles

⚖️ Difficulty Balance

Enemies and bosses will be leveled based on area accessibility:

  • Uses the level system of the base game (level 0-20)
  • The final boss will not be adjusted
  • DLC exclusive mode starts from level 21 and reaches up to level 34

🗺️ Progress reminder

  • **Explore carefully** - There may be multiple doors hidden in large areas
  • **Use map markers** - mark difficult bosses, areas to be explored, and places that require key items
  • **Use the return bell** - When stuck, you can return to the early area to explore again
  • **Check the spoiler log** - You can check the randomized connection information when you are actually stuck.

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.
