Even higher, the mod turns your trusty steed Torrent into an enormous, rideable capybara, so you possibly can take the delightfully cute rodents in all places you go. To acknowledge the sport’s latest residents, the mod additionally adjustments Limgrave’s location title to Capybara Island.
However if you happen to thought this mod was just a few foolish enjoyable, you’re so fallacious. It’s additionally instructional! Loading screens in Elden Ring are changed with cute footage of capybaras and accompanied by attention-grabbing, enjoyable info concerning the cute critters. With out the assistance of this instructional Elden Ring mod, how else would you be taught that different animals, resembling birds and monkeys, typically use capybaras as furnishings? Now each time you fall off a cliff, get poisoned to dying or inevitably die attempting to face off in opposition to Malenia, you possibly can take solace in studying somewhat extra concerning the largest residing rodents on this planet. It may be darkish and miserable wandering the Lands Between, however now you get to see these lovely creatures when you do it. You’re welcome. I do know the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is about to launch in June however let’s hope FromSoftware has sufficient time to take a web page out of this mod’s e-book and incorporate some capybaras.
