A New Era for Dark Souls 3: Introducing Archthrones
In a surprising turn of events, the gaming community is abuzz with excitement as the highly anticipated event for FromSoftware fans, Archthrones, takes center stage. Not only is Archthrones the talk of the town, but the Dark Souls 3 mod by the same name is also making waves. This ambitious modification has unveiled a remarkable new area called the High Lord’s Temple, which has been seamlessly integrated into the Steam Deck platform.
Archthrones is set to blend elements from both Dark Souls 2 and 3, creating a unique narrative within the familiar framework. The High Lord’s Temple pays homage to one of the most unexpected regions in Dark Souls 3. Despite its catacombs lying beneath a swamp (and oddly enough, above another swamp), Carthus was once a sandy and desolate kingdom.
The High Lord’s Temple, named after the colossal skeleton boss known as High Lord Wolnir, offers a glimpse of Carthus in its prime before temporal and spatial intrigues forced it underground. This warm, illuminated city beneath a bright blue sky stands in stark contrast to the dark and claustrophobic catacombs we’ve come to know from the base game. In the video footage, we can see the player engaging with characters dressed in robes instead of the malicious skeletons we have grown accustomed to battling.
Nestled in a picturesque viewpoint within the temple lies a grand bell that could potentially open a gate or summon a formidable boss. I am eager to witness how this level unfolds in its complete modded form. Moreover, it seems that the mod performs well on the Steam Deck platform, despite the 800p resolution not looking optimal on my 1440p monitor.
Although there is no set release date for Archthrones, the project’s progress can be followed on Twitter and YouTube. For those eagerly awaiting another exciting modification in the Soulsborne universe, the Nightfall mod for the original Dark Souls also appears incredibly promising.
