A free mod for Dark Souls II completely transforms the game, adding numerous improvements and new features. But you'll need to be careful about compatibility issues.

Dark Souls II is a game that fascinates thousands of players around the world. But if you want to discover a new universe, a free mod totally transforms this game with new environments and new enemies. 

Created by MoonlightRuin, this mod called Firelink Edition brings a breath of fresh air to this highly acclaimed title. And going into detail, you can enjoy new weapons, shields, and other accessories, such as two new miracles.

That's not all, because homeward bone, aged feather, and darksign can restore health when needed. Changes have also been made for Straid, who will now only sells spells, and Ornifex, who will sells weapons from bosses you have defeated. 

New graphics are available with this mod, which is a good thing considering that Dark Souls II was released over 10 years ago, in 2014. And you'll be able to enjoy better lighting effects and updated textures, which will enhance your gaming experience.

Finally, it should also be noted that you will be able to face new enemies. And as for all games of this license, you will need to learn their patterns in order to defeat them.

Thus, if you want to try this mod, which adds a whole new dimension to the game, it's available for free on Nexus Mods. But you'll need to take care when installing it to avoid any issues, and don't expect any improvements to the DLCs, as they only apply to the vanilla version.
