The Garden of Eyes - Elden Ring Overhaul Demo
The idea of this demo is to start a new save, do not start with your own save file.
Welcome to the official public demo of The Garden of Eyes, one of the most ambitious Elden Ring overhaul projects to date.
This public release offers a taste of our vision—an unforgettable reimagining of the Lands Between, with select content from the full mod, including new areas, bosses, weapons, and systems.
Shadow of the Erdtree is required to play the demo

What’s Included in the Demo?
This curated demo showcases some of the best content from the full mod, rebalanced and streamlined so players can jump straight into the action. Item and stat requirements have been lowered to encourage exploration and experimentation. Please note that enemy placements and scaling do not reflect their final versions in the full release.
We’d greatly appreciate it if you report any bugs you encounter—fixes are handled as quickly as possible. Thanks to the mod manager, updates are automatically delivered without requiring a full reinstall, ensuring everyone gets the best experience with each launch.
Explore unique and reimagined areas, including:
Guardians' Garrison
Port of Tidetail
Illo Telurat
Table of Restored Grace
It also contains the following new bosses and mini-bosses:
Leashed Demon of Helphen
Creta, the Fell Crucible Knight
Mirror Abberations
Nox Water Sorcerers
Revamped Mohg, Lord of Blood (Hidden as a secret boss)
Namtur, Dancer of the Brisk Waters
Godskin Enforcer
Promised Consort Malenia (Boss)
You will go through these multiple areas and bosses, which you can teleport to using a Teleporter at the end of each area, or after defeating the boss of the area.
Playable Classes
The demo includes 6 unique starting classes, each showcasing new weapons, spells, and mechanics from the mod.
Drake Slayer – Aggressive melee fighter with draconic gear.
Forsaken Guardian – Defensive melee build with heavy armor and counterplay.
Nox Water Sorcerer – INT-based, uses custom water sorceries.
Time Seer – INT-based, focuses on time-altering magic.
Enshrined Dragonpriest – FAITH-based, channels draconic miracles.
Giantsflame Votary – FAITH-based, uses giant flame incantations.
New Mod Features
Elemental Fervor
Elemental infusions and weapons are now much more proficient and powerful! Now, you can infuse your attacks with newfound power through consecutive strikes. This feature builds up through three escalating levels, culminating in a devastating special heavy attack that grows more powerful at each stage.
New Horse Mounts
Ride in style with over seven brand-new mounts, each featuring unique effects, animations, and their own spectral whistles. (The demo currently has one of the new mounts)
Gun Parrying
Inspired by Bloodborne, this feature allows players to interrupt and counter enemy attacks with firearms, adding a tactical layer of depth to combat. We have completely overhauled the crossbows in the game to be transformed into new rifles and guns, and we've created brand new Bullets that you can now use to utilize this system to its fullest!
Become the Boss
Transform into your favorite bosses with the new “Amulet” items. Found in the “Boss Rush” Evergaols, these amulets temporarily grant the player the bosses' immense power, turning the tide of battle in each encounter.
True Midnight
Experience the thrill of True Midnight, a new time-of-day option that transforms the Lands Between into a dark, immersive, and realistic world. Under the cover of deep night, visibility is limited, and an air of danger pervades every corner. Enemies become significantly more challenging, bringing tougher combat scenarios to test your skills and strategy like never before.
