This mod removes the regular spider enemies, the spider hollows and the Duke's Dear Freja (both the boss version and the new game+ encounter) from the game. The spider enemies are replaced with Majula pigs, and Freja is replaced with the Covetous Demon. The pigs may de-spawn in certain sections of the level. I have no intention of fixing this as the mod accomplishes its goal either way.

Your Dark Souls 2 files need to be extracted and your .exe needs to be patched to load loose files. TKGP's UXM accomplishes both of these things: https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/26 (Although UXM is in the Sekiro nexus, it works for all Souls games)

To install, place the "param" folder in your Dark Souls 2 directory. Be sure to make a backup of your original "param" folder before you add the mod to it.

This mod is not compatible with online play, and as with any mod you run the risk of being banned if you go online with it. I highly recommend playing offline while using this mod, then restoring your param folder with a backup when you have cleared Brightstone Cove, which is the level this mod edits.
