Of course, many players would agree that one of the series’ strengths is how balanced the base game is, but these mods have been widely embraced by those who require even more crushing difficulty. Other mods significantly increase the game’s speed, apply status ailments to the characters upon beating bosses, or remove the cap on New Game + so that the game becomes infinitely more difficult on subsequent playthroughs.

The latest Dark Souls 3 mod puts an interesting spin on life in the Kingdom of Lordran by introducing a sporting event called the Lothric Olympics.
