I dig it
It’s said that the flow of time is convoluted in Lordran. Brave warriors come and go, weaving in and out of one another’s worlds to assist in combat or fight one for prizes.Dark Souls, with its strange inhabitants and fallen kingdoms, is no stranger to noble knights.
But until recently, there’s never been an undead hero who fought exclusively with a shovel. Redditor_Abject_and the “Shovel Souls” mod have changed that, bringingShovel Knight‘s blue-clad hero into FromSoftware’s acclaimed RPG.
TheDark Soulsmod is still a work in progress, but Abject’s efforts show plenty of potential. Shovel Knight’s iconic armor and weapon are already incorporated, replacing the Royal Helm, Golem Armor set, and Winged Spear, respectively. Shield Knight, too, makes an appearance based off ofDark Souls‘ Silver Knight model.
Shovel Souls isn’t a mere reskin, either. The mod’s short trailer shows some that some ofShovel Knight‘s sound effects now replace Lordran’s ominous tones.Dark Souls‘ camera appears to be tweaked a bit too, to replicateShovel Knight‘s 2D perspective better.
Abject’s efforts to turn the landscape of Lordran into Shovel Knight’s next adventure are looking great so far. I’m keen to see how the finished project turns out, especially considering how rad a Black Iron Tarkus/Shovel Knight team would look.
