If you'd like to access all the equipment quickly, you can use an in-game Cheat Code at the Firelink Handmaid by performing the "Point Forward > Point Down > Bow" gestures in front of her. In order to gain souls to level up or buy these items, perform the previous gestures and then "Look Skyward".
Why does my FPS dip or why is the lightning different?
Ashes experiments with changing the visuals in all areas. You can disable and change this if you're uncomfortable with it or if it causes bugs. To do this go to \AshesLauncher\Ashes\GraphicPresets and click on Enable Vanilla.cmd.
- Fidelity is for highest quality and needs to have shadows enabled in-game. - Performance is the same as fidelity but prioritizes performance and FPS - Vanilla is the lowest setting and focuses on vanilla lightning.
Why does the launcher sometimes not work for updates?
There's the legacy support of an update and a launcher support.
The legacy support version does NOT work with the launcher, you simply unpack the files and launch the game according the _readme instructions. This version is much smaller in filesize because it doesn't come with a .git folder.
The launcher support version does work with the launcher. This version will automatically update when accompanied with the launcher if new versions are available. You need to download this version to also get rid of the zlib error you might get with the launcher.

Thank you for all the support for Ashes so far! If you are interested in being part of our journey and engage actively with our development team, please visit theOfficial Ashes Discord server! Ashes is compatible with some mods that do not affect gameplay, such as Reshade and Wex Dust. It is NOT compatible with mods that do affect gameplay, including Cinders, Watchdog, and others.
Hello, there is a bug in the weapon "Hunter Blunderbuss" in the game. After the blood quality changes, the weapon's bleeding ability increases from 20 to 40, and increases with the weapon's enhancement level. However, after the weapon is enhanced to+6, it decreases to the basic 20 and no longer increases in subsequent enhancements
"First of all, congratulations on this project! I would like to know how I can access only the 'Guard Counter Mechanic' without having to download the full mod. I’d like to use it in PvE. (Sorry for the translator’s English)
Hello Ashen one, this mod is very, very good. Do you plan to add more Bloodborne costumes to the mod? The clothing style of Bloodborne is very unique, and few games can do this.
Hello friend, I wanted to know if this mod has 4 weapons that I personally like a lot from other souls, in this case it would be the Obsidian Greatsword from Dark Souls 1, Sir Alonne's Katana from Dark Souls 2, the King Ultra Greatsword from DS2 too, and the Crypt Greatsword from DS2, if you could answer me I would be grateful!
With only your mod installed my game will crash every other death, and as I progressed more into Irithyll it would crash after EVERY death. To the point where I think it corrupted my save game and it will crash when loading it too. Very disappointing.
Damn, I had some expectations on this mod. Sadly, legacy version doesn't boot up on Linux (and the launcher one has a ridiculous download speed, so I gave up after 1,5 hours of waiting and getting only 13%). It's strange, since vanilla, Cinders and Hollow Overhaul work just fine. I wonder why only this mod has these issues, lol.
Anyway, good luck with working on this mod! It seems like this is the only "Definitive Edition" mod, since Cinders is more of a free roam mod, Convergence is stupid and Hollow Overhaul is bugged and rushed.
I'll definitely come back to this one when I get a Windows PC instead of Steam Deck.
Hey, thanks for the feedback and kind words! Sorry to hear about the issues. The launcher usually downloads in ~30 mins for most users, since it pulls directly from GitHub. Maybe there was throttling or a connection hiccup?
Also, we do have a Steam Deck install guide on our Discord: Steam Deck Setup Guide. We also have several Linux users active in #tech-support if you need help.
Also, if GitHub gives you trouble again, I’m sure someone would be happy to upload their mod folder to Google Drive for you. Hope you’ll give it another shot soon!
Thanks for the question. This is already present. On our server we have a CE table to provides this. It's not just our table that can do this, though. Any classic DS3 CE table allows you to change your character's name.
