Recoloring PCR, Mikaela's Spell, and everything related to it

If PCR gets interesting

✨ **Recoloring module that makes the final boss no longer boring** ✨

🎨Mod Concept

After completing SOTE and challenging PCR, I couldn't help but sigh: Such a wonderful game, but the final BOSS of the DLC is so bland! While the concept of PCR itself is fine, Fromsoftware didn't make PCR and Mikayla unique - there's no space horror element, nothing creepy.

So I decided to do my best to make them even better and more interesting!

🌈 Two color schemes

**RED VERSION** 🩸

  • Based on the concept of using Mongol's power to help Mikaela ascend to godhood
  • Perfectly matches Latarn's armor, the gold color complements Michaela's
  • This version is recommended

**Purple Version** 💜

  • Extra color options, perfect for pretending PCR is the master of gravity
  • As my first attempt at material editing, the results were pretty good.

🔥 Recolor content

  • All special effects of PCR, including cutscene effects
  • Special effects for Michaelan's spell and Latarn sword
  • Leda's special effects
  • Random characters using multi-layered auras deep in the rift
  • Mikayla's Big Rune consumable
  • Michaela's Cross and Blood Plant

⚠️ Known issues

*Exclusive to purple version*:

  • The fire halo in the cutscene will have a mixture of red and purple.
  • The light beam changes in the second stage are not obvious

*The red version does not have this problem*

📥 Installation instructions

Installation is very simple: just drop the sfx and material folders into the mod folder.

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.
