The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC understandably altered the game enough to require an extensive update to the mod from Luke Yui in response, and he has delivered it in record time. Notably, all Seamless Co-op saves from prior versions will still work and can be taken into the DLC, and Seamless Co-op now supports optional invasions for the first time.

Dalvik also outlined some other improvements present in the update in a conversation with PCG senior editor Wes Fenlon. Thanks to a more modular structure in how the mod’s built now, gestures and items earned in conversations will update properly for all players, while everyone present in an instance can now load into the optional Evergaol boss encounters together.

We were wondering if the new Scadutree Fragment system might play havoc with Seamless Co-op, but according to Dalvik, FromSoft made it relatively easy on Luke Yui: “The DLC has added many new mechanics, interesting edge cases and underlying code changes⁠—some of which would seem mundane to the player⁠—but have required new solutions for them to work correctly,” Dalvik explained. “Fortunately, the Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ashes are very much localized and do not require any special synchronization.”

You can now download Seamless Co-op’s latest version from theElden Ring Nexus, and take on the Land of Shadow with a friend in tow—just be aware that Luke Yui will still be ironing out some of those bugs in the coming days.

Luke Yui has noted on the Discord that some initial downloads of Seamless Co-op aren’t carrying crucial files due to an error with the Nexus, so you may need to redownload the mod from the project’sGitHub pageif this happens to you. Also, the new version of Seamless Co-op contains new items for activating online features, and you have to rest at a Site of Grace to receive them.
