Hardedge (from Final Fantasy VII)

✨ **Replace the weapons in Elden's Circle with Cloud's iconic weapon Hardedge from Final Fantasy VII! **

🗡️Mod content

  • **Grafted Greatsword** - Dropped by the lion hybrid boss near Morn Castle
  • **Broken Star Greatsword** - Obtained through Broken Star Latarn's Memories

📥 Installation method

Use ModEngine2 (recommended)

  • Download and set up ModEngine2
  • Open the module compressed file
  • Extract the file to the '...\ELDEN RING\Game\mod\parts\' directory

Do not use ModEngine2

  • Use UXM to unpack the game files and click "Patch"
  • Unzip the module file to the '...\ELDEN RING\Game\parts\' directory (it is recommended to back up the original file first)

⚠️ Known issues

  • Attempting to rename files to match other weapons may not work properly
  • The normal map or tangent space is not perfect after importing the 3D model, and the lighting/details may sometimes look a bit strange
  • There is no weapon trajectory effect, and there will be misalignment problems when trying to add it.

💡 **If you know a solution to any of these problems, please leave a comment in the posts section and I'll look into it! **

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.
