Summary

  • An Elden Ring mod has swapped the Roundtable Hold with Dark Souls 2's Majula, merging two iconic dark fantasy games into one experience.
  • The mod includes Majula’s bottomless well, coastal atmosphere, and musical theme.
  • The Majula Hub mod was delightfully received, sparking requests for Bloodborne maps and a FromSoftwareInfinity concept to be imported next.

An Elden Ring mod has recently been created for Soulslike fans. It replaces the Roundtable Hold with Dark Souls 2’s Majula, combining two pioneering dark fantasy titles into one experience. Elden Ring already boasts a long list of mods to enhance gameplay, allowing players to indulge in a more customized experience flavored by popular features in other FromSoftware games.

After debuting in 2022 and going on to win Game of the Year, the Tarnished’s journey to become the next Elden Lord was instantly regarded as being one of the most engaging action RPGs of the decade. Steeped in rich lore and energized by punishing boss battles, Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R. R. Martin’s creation gained more popularity after the 2024 release of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, and Nintendo fans might be in for a treat in the future. Elden Ring is rumored to receive a definitive edition on the anticipated Switch 2 console, which will expose the title to a significant pocket of the gaming audience that previously missed out on the release.

Created by Drop0ff and uploaded to Nexus Mods, the Majula Hub does what it says on the tin by adding the coastal town from Dark Souls 2 to replace Elden Ring’s Roundtable Hold. Both locations are crucial hub areas for players, and the mod even includes Majula’s bottomless well and musical theme. There’s a lot to do in Dark Souls 2’s Majula hub, and all quests with every roundtable NPC and event have been ported to the mod. The creator noted that players opting to begin a New Game Plus playthrough will need to visit Victor’s Stone, instead of going to a bonfire.

New Elden Ring Mod Replaces Roundtable Hold with Dark Souls 2's Majula

The Majula Hub mod was well received by the Soulslike community, and fans immediately began asking for Bloodborne maps to be imported next. Additionally, one Nexus Mods user pitched an idea for “FromSofwareInfinity,” which would offer a hub that transports you to any FromSoft game from inside Elden Ring. Despite the joy to be found exploring the sprawling Lands Between, Soulslike fans wonder if the next FromSoftware game will move away from open-world-styled hubs, and bring back the more traditional bases introduced in 2009’s Demon’s Souls.

Elden Ring’s Roundtable Hold is a lively hub dwelling on the outskirts of the Lands Between and serves as a base to meet other adventurers, restock supplies, acquire blessings, and more. Aside from the hub having many uses, Elden Ring’s Roundtable Hold also carries a fair bit of lore with it. Instead of being designed into the game’s main world like Majula, players can only access the Roundtable Hold through fast travel and it is unlocked after concluding a small event with Melina.
