Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition - Pure Darkness v.1.0 - Game mod - Download

Pure Darkness is a mod for Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition, created by notaprofi. If you like this mod please consider supporting it’s author by donation.

Desription (in author’s own words):

The mod provides The Tomb of the Giants experience at every area and every boss in the game. You will be able to see only a small area around your character and very obscure hints of nearby environment. The light (or rather darkness) changes from area to area. I tried to make each boss and area as different as possible, while keeping increase of the difficulty on the similar level. I.e. early bosses are relatively easy, end game bosses are harder and DLC is the hardest.

Installation instructions

A) If you have a standard working version of PtDE from Steam (it can be with DSFix):

Download my files and unpack them.

?Download Drag and Drop Mod Manager.? (DSDAD).

Open DSDAD.

Drag and drop the content of ForDSDAD folder into DSDAD.

Launch Dark Souls via DSDAD by pressing the button at the bottom right.

B) Alternatively, you can unpack your Dark Souls files for modding (which will take additional 7GB of space, but will let you to run the game directly from Steam):

?Unpack DS files using UnpackDSForModding mod?.

Download my files and unpack them.

In your Dark Souls folder navigate to: DATA folder and make a backup of the subfolders mentioned below.

Replace the files in the DATA\param\GameParam, DATA\msg\English and DATA\event folders with my files from ForDSDAD.

Launch Dark Souls via Steam.

Brightness settings

I find that the default brightness calibration (with the flame and dragon) leads to unpleasant pictures with very high contrast, there by I usually use higher brightness.

To make sure your brightness is high enough to see what you are supposed to see do the following:

?Create a character

Pick the key and open the door, make a step back and put yourself right next to the first step of the staircase.

Find two torches in the door way and make sure you can see them comfortably enough. The light should be dim, but distinct.

Use this screenshot? as a reference.

If you are failing to find flames or found them but feel like you need to make an effort or you lose one of them - go to the menu and increase brightness (if you don't, some areas can become significantly harder)

If you feel like the flames are too bright - decrease the brightness (or just leave it as it is if you want to make playthrough a bit easier)

This is not a precise test, but should be good enough for its purposes.
