Elden Ring Hack 'n' Slash

This is for a much faster paced hack 'n' slash type gameplay. Still experimenting with speeds and enemy hp, so let me know what you think. You can comment here, but I'll see it sooner in the Discord I just made: Elden Ring: Hack 'n' Slash Discord

For Elden Ring v1.10.1

v0.2 reduces enemy hp (it's still higher than vanilla), poise of enemies is further increase as the fast attacks cause too many posture breaks.

v0.3 adds speeds up most great swords. Fixed an issue where the unsheathe L2 R1 wouldn't hit sometimes.

v0.4 Lowered enemy hp even more. Sped up the rest of the great swords and all colossal swords and spears.

v0.5 Adjusted enemy hp and poise a little more. Sped up curved swords and great spears along with some ashes and spells. Tweaked movement speeds. Added an optional easy difficulty in the optional files. Let me know if that is good?

v0.6 Sped up Daggers, Claws, Twinblades, Thrusting Swords, Halberds, Curved Greatswords, and Fists.

v0.7 Spirit Summons can be summoned anywhere and more than once. Sped up Axes, Great Axes, Hammers, and Great Hammers.

v0.8 Reduced bleed proc damage. Sped up Colossal Weapons, Flails, Heavy Thrusting Swords, Whips Scythes, ladder animations, flask animations, and Carian sword spells.

v0.9 Sped up all weapons except torches. Sped up many more AoW and some spells. Sped up all bows. Made two handing a weapon faster than holding in one hand. Reduced the bleed proc damage a little more. Removed a couple crafting items from the Map for Goblins. Reduced hp of scarabs.

v0.9.1 Fixes a bug that caused weapon buffs to buff offhand weapon. Fix a bug that caused black flame tornado to stack % DoT. Removed more unneeded items from the Map for Goblins for better performance. Sped up a couple incantations and bow AoW.

v0.9.2 Added FP Regen to all drake talismans (Spelldrake, Pearldrake, Haligdrake, Flamedrake, Boltdrake). More FP regen depending on normal, +1, or +2 variants. Can only equip 1 drake talisman at a time. Added optional files to remove all items from the map so the game will run smoother for some people.

v0.9.3 All magic is now sped up. Many more AoW have been sped up. New - added a second L2 press to Gravitas Aow that will push enemies away. All arrows are sped up. Fixed an issue with some bow AoW.

This is still an early release and it's fully playable, but I haven't sped up all AoW yet. All weapons and magic should be sped up.

A Merge of these mods plus way more additions: (Please endorse these mods separately as it gives these people credit!)

• Double All Talisman Effects - Doubles all the positive effects of Talismans and leaves the negatives the same.
• Improved Melee Combat Overhaul (IMCO) - Pulled a lot from this but edited it to be even faster. (more about this below)
• Boss Resurrection - Play against your favorite boss fights again without having to start a new game.
• Map for Goblins - See where every item is on your Map.
• Detailed Item Descriptions - Better descriptions that are easier to understand.
• Great Rune Overhaul - Gives a good reason to collect Great Runes as just having them in your inventory gives you buffs.
• Super Jump - Allows you to adjust movement speeds and roll distances in the c0000.hks file. Awesome feature!
  

Other additions:

• Enemy Health is greatly increased, but they will need it because you are fast.
  

• Perfect block feature that allows you to negate almost all damage if you block just before being hit.
  

• Enemies have more Poise as the faster attack speed caused too many stance breaks.
  

• You move much faster! Careful near cliff edges. (I can adjust this to be faster or slower)
  

• Scaling almost everything is changed in order to give more vigor, mind, endurance, stamina, defense, damage, resistances, etc. Also scales better all the way to 99!
  

• Doubles the amount of runes collected.
  

• Item discovery is increased by a lot! Scales even more with Arcane.
  

• Normal smithing stone upgrade amount is halved. Example: instead of needing 2,4,6 for each upgrade, it's now 1,2,3.
  

• Detailed Item Descriptions are also edited to show the new doubled talisman numbers. 
  

• Added a file in the action folder that allows the 2nd R2 to combo into the 2nd R1. I think on most weapons this looks better. 
  

• Added an option to purchase larval tears and rune arcs in crafting menu for 10,000 runes each.
  

• Also added an all affinities for Serpentbone Blade katana as it already uses normal smithing stones.
  

• Added bleed to Dragonscale Blade and Serpentbone Blade so now all katanas do bleed.
  

• Added an effect to make equipped Great Rune activate automatically. So you don't need to use a rune arc, but you will need to fast travel after equipping a new one for it to activate.  
  

• Crit attack damage increased to help against higher hp enemies.
  

• Increased Torrent speed two different ways: 20% increase in the animations to everything but walking pace to make it easy to traverse near cliff edges, and then 20% movement speed increased to everything on top of that.
  

• Map cursor speed is increased.
  

• Did I mention that you are quick!?
  

I am sure I am missing many other things that were changed.


All weapons attacks, spells, and incantations are now sped up!  Most Ashes of War are now sped up, but not all of them.

Some extra mods I use personally and can be installed with Elden Ring Plus: (they don't need to be merged and can install after everything else)

• ERD Tools CPP - Auto pick up items, open map in combat, can even do poise bars. Amazing tool.
• Seamless Co-op - The best way to play with friends!
