There is an Easy Mode mod available for Elden Ring, and it's available to install and play for anyone who has been struggling with the game's difficulty. Elden Ring has seen massive success since its launch, making it one of the greatest games ever to be released by FromSoftware. Through open-world expiration, numerous boss fights, dungeons, and more, many players have died a countless number of times due to the game's inherently difficult combat. Fortunately, an "Easy Mode" mod is available to download and install for the PC version of the game, which may be more suitable for those new to the Soulsborne game genre or players that are looking to have a more relaxed time playing Elden Ring.

The Elden Ring Easy Mod mod from Nexusmods is currently the most popular mod for the game, as it improves player damage output, health recovery, damage resistance, and more. Nexusmods has long been the go-to source for reliable in-game mods for a number of titles, most notably because the mods are easy to install and have been deemed safe by their users. That being said, there are always risks when installing mods for any game, such as corrupted files that can wipe any progress clean from existence. Be sure to follow the steps outlined below for a safe installation.

Some of the other benefits of the Easy Mod for Elden Ring include an increased player hit radius, +10 starting stats for all characters, 500 item discovery, and no weapon, armor, or accessory weight. This makes it easier to create a Vagabond build in Elden Ring, where players rely on using heavier weapons and armor to maximize their character's damage output and defenses. Furthermore, weightless armor means players will have an easier time dodging, making the game more friendly for newer or casual players.

To uninstall the Easy Mode mod:

If Elden Ring has an update:

  • 1. Verify the file integrity
  • 2. Disable the anti-cheat again

The Easy Mode mod is not intended for anyone to use in Elden Ring online to prevent issues with the mod's accessibility or the game's PvP integrity. Instead, this mod should only be used in offline mode as a means to simply enjoy Elden Ring and everything it has to offer, without routinely being defeated by any number of enemies.
