Elden Ring Combat Guide
Introduction
This guide was designed for Mod Organizer 2 users. I highly recommend using or switching to using MO2. Here is a guide on how to install and setup MO2 if you’re interested.
This guide was also designed for Special Edition. You can use Anniversary Edition, however a handful of mods are still SE only, so I will try to list AE alternatives to these ones. If you wish to downgrade your Skyrim please follow this guide, also bear in mind that you can still play SE with the new AE content by following the guide I just linked.
Legend:
BLUE mods are AE compatible | ORANGE mods are not compatible with AE
PURPLE mods will be in early access, but not compatible with AE
Special Requirements
Now let’s get started with requirements. These requirements aren’t just a simple install, so I’ve provided pointers on how to install and set them up.
