There are a lot of mods out there that can completely change how a character looks in Elden Ring, and nothing is better than having characters from another well-known IP braving the Lands Between. Players will need to first get various pieces of armor before they can make use of these mods. The armor sets used are ones that best suit what the mod is aiming to replicate in terms of playstyle. Fortunately, a lot of mods include instructions on how to change which pieces of armor are used.
Elden Ring: Best Weapons For An Intelligence Build
Would be sorcerers in Elden Ring would do well to keep a weapon on them during their quest. These are the best weapons for Intelligence Builds.
7 Solaire’s Set (Dark Souls)
Mod By KRDCD
This armor set is inspired by another FromSoftware game, Dark Souls. Fans of the Dark Souls games are no strangers to Solaire of Astora or his iconic 'Sun bros' covenant, the Warriors of Sunlight. Striking an iconic pose along with using “Praise the sun” is a common meme on the internet among the Dark Souls fanbase.
This mod aesthetically replaces the
Godskin Apostle Set — making the set perfect for Faith Builds. Sadly, this mod does not come with an emote for the iconic pose associated with the phrase. However, another modder has done just that.
6 Link (The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess)
Mod By Xdec
Link is an iconic character in gaming history, and it is no surprise that many gamers will jump at the chance to look like the Hero of Time in Elden Ring. There are multiple mods that can make players look like Link, including one for Dark Link (by the same modder), and one with his Breath of the Wild attire.
In order to use this set, players will need to get themselves the Godrick Knight set, or delve into the game's code to change which armor set players want the mod to affect. Once players have this armor, this mod will change the set to resemble Link’s outfit from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and change the Uchigatana into the Master Sword.
5 Rogue Vordr Set (Odin: Valhalla Rising)
Mod By Tchjay92
This armor looks just stunning from every angle. Both the green stones of the sword and the eyes of the helm utilize a pulsing lighting effect. The original design of this armor set comes from the game, Odin: Valhalla Rising.
Elden Ring: The Best Fist Weapons
If you want your tarnished to be an up close and personal melee fighter in Elden Ring, there's no better option than one of these fist weapons.
This mod will replace Hoslow’s Set, which is one of the best armor options for a melee-focused build. From the engravings on the gold to the deep shades of blue, the entire armor comes together to look both regal and powerful.
4 Ancient Dragon - Lansseax Costume Mod
Mod By ApolloHoo
This set will let players be a bipedal dragon as they make their way through the game. This is perfect for players who love to use the best Dragon Communion Incantations, as it lets them be the dragon wreaking havoc across the Lands Between.
This mod will need players to first get the Malformed Dragon Set. Players will get this armor set once they have defeated the Draconic Tree Sentinel located in Crumbling Farum Azula just outside Malekith's boss fog (not the Draconic Tree Sentinel just outside Leyndell, Royal Capital).
3 Sauron’s Armor Set (The Lord Of The Rings)
Mod By KRDCD
This iconic fantasy villain needs no introduction for anyone familiar with The Lord of the Rings franchise. The dark lord’s armor has been recreated by several modders, each looking a little different. This version is the most downloaded and the one that most closely fits the general aesthetic of Elden Ring.
Before using this mod, players will need to know how to clear Gelmir Hero’s Grave and get the
Gelmir Knight Set. This is a great set for its spread of negation stats, making it a worthy choice for playing at the dark lord himself.
2 Metal Gear Rising Raiden & High Frequency Sword
Mod By Demicenero
Fans of the Metal Gear franchise will know of the cyborg ninja known as Raiden. This mod also comes with a skin for a High-Frequency Sword. That can be combined with other mods to make players run and strike at incredible speeds while executing precision dashes.
Elden Ring: 10 Armor Sets That Aren't Worth Unlocking
Armor can help the player immensely in Elden Ring, but some sets just aren't worth the hassle.
If players don’t wish to speed their characters up, they can use a companion mod to turn Torrent into Raiden’s trusted ally, Blade Wolf. This mod gives players an aesthetic pairing like no other mod combo. Players will need to get the following pieces of armor to pull this look off: Vulgar Militia Greaves, Banished Knight Gauntlets, Crucible Axe Helm, and Crucible Axe Armor.
1 Darth Vader's Suit (Star Wars)
Mod By XeIerate
Sauron isn’t the only dark lord to make it onto this list. This mod will let players use any of the many Lightsaber mod packs to their fullest. There are plenty of Ashes of War, Spells, and Incantations to make this combo feel even more amazing.
If players start the game as a Confessor, they will immediately be able to start using this mod, as it replaces the base set for the class. It's time to bring order to the Lands Between.
