Can't wait for another yearly DS2 playthrough with this mod once the update releases

Ty :)

Just learning about this amazing project you're working on! Question: I know development cycles are hard to predict, could you give a range of when we might be able to expect a release on your Patreon?

Patreon is not required hopefully beta by end of month

Bless you, dude! Thanks so much for the work you're putting in.

This is so impressive!

Thank you Crest :)

Insane facelift

Ty

I could easily spend an hour in the same spot just looking at the visuals!

:). Put some music and listen to fofg water

Is this scholar only?

Yes Scholar only, needs steam latest version.

Shame, but fair enough. Looks very pretty!

Bro is going to make me play ds2 for the 27 time (and i'm so into it)

Feels like once a year you pull me back in to finally finish DS2, and dang it I can’t wait for my Path Traced attempt! Incredible work!

Thank you, this will be best torch experience yet, it has the right amount of visibility is not artificially dark and we have tested it now with multiple playthrough thanks to community , hope for beta soon

Damn this game is so beautiful when your not being ganked by 20 mobs at once

It’s a slower game imo , so can’t sprint past things

@fromsoftserve Omg its so pretty

really good for a game from 1885

wtf this looks like new game

Thank you this is an upcoming path tracing mod for the game :)

this is how the beta looked bruh

Thats so sick!

Thanks Linus, Just PT magic :). These are stock assets. I have ppl in discord how do much better work with updated assets.

Dark Souls 2 (1988)

Just downloaded your mod and put a bunch of hours in to DS2 the last two weeks. Had no idea ray tracing was coming or I would’ve waited! Looks good

Where are the hippo dudes?

All dead in my world as I have killed them over and over again

I forgot that happens after you kill enemies a lot of times. So do you eventually get capped on leveling up since enemies become scarce? I kinda gave up when I got to the Lost Bastille could not get past it. I do play it now and then. Beautiful game.

@DS2LightingMod I mean there are two ways to get enemies to return after they've reached their kill cap, either burn a Bonfire Ascetic in the area they are in or join the Covenant of Champions

@DS2LightingMod Appreciate the reply will do! Do I need to do anything specific to join the Covenant? Also is this the action that makes the game even more difficult?

@DS2LightingMod To join it you go to the monument right of the door leading to the Tower of Flame, and yeah it's the covenant that makes the game harder, but you can leave the covenant at any time by talking to the cat in Majula so it's not really a bother

@DS2LightingMod I am ready to rage 👍

Damn. I gotta try this.

dude ideally this is what SOTFS was supposed to be, we're so back

Thx for everything

Has this been tested on the steam deck?

yeah you can check it out here. Can ask Usama any clarifications you need as well

OMG I can't wait to install this thank you 😁

Is this native preset? Looks very pretty

Yeah native. Tysm, it should also work as a good base for ppl to tweak things too. It also works on HDR monitors too as there is very little use of LDR CG Luts

now all we need is for someone to do a full character animation overhaul

Looks beautiful!

@Noah6092 Thanks Noah

How do you play DS2 with path tracing?

This is a mod i wrote for DS2. Built by me, it will be in Beta soon

now thats cool

Tysm

HOLY SHEESH this is looking so good! Last time trying this mod was back in 2023, and I was already amazed by the wonderful overhauled lighting, and look at u now... such a fabulous improvement 👍👍👍

Tysm

@kkfeern

Amazing!

Wtf, what did you do? This looks amazing!

Thank you :).

wahhh is this DS2 :O

:)

Looks awesome, but also a bit too dark I think?

Thanks. We play tested it already from multiple ppl for visibility, however mod has exposure bias for global setting, you can use that no problem

Cool.

Woow

Holy shit. Forest of Fallen Giants looks ethereal here.

Thank you :)

Holy shit this looks dope
