Dark Souls II received seamless co-op for six players - modder introduced a new game mode

Now you can play through the entire game with friends.

Recently, a modification was released for Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin, which adds a full-fledged cooperative mode to the game.

The project creator, known as Yui, explained that this mod will allow playing with friends throughout the entire game — it removes various restrictions.

The modder clarified that if a player dies during the playthrough, they will respawn in the same world at the last bonfire they rested at.

Defeating bosses and clearing areas no longer sends co-op session participants back to their worlds.

Dialogues with characters will be synchronized; if one person rests at a bonfire, the world state will reset for all participants in the game.

The modification «Seamless Co-op (Dark Souls 2)» for Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is distributed for free via Nexus Mods. The current version is not final, the project is still in the «alpha» stage, so various technical problems may arise.

Developer Yui clarified that co-op is supported on Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin version 1.03 (the original 32-bit version of the game is not supported).
