So wouldn’t it be fun to muck it up a bit?Mods are a good way to customize a gameto fit the player’s particular tastes, so why not take a dark fantasy world likeDark Souls IIIand make it a bit more lighthearted, fun, and jovial? Why not inject more humor into it? That’s why today, we are going to list 10Dark Souls IIImods that are absolutely hilarious. Players who wish to download any can find them all on Nexus Mods.
10Prepare To Dank Edition
ThePrepare to Dank Editionmod is fairly self-explanatory as far as mods go. It populates yourDark Souls IIIgame with the dankest of memes under the sun, from Doge, to Mountain Dew, to Peppa Pig. There’s no more dankDark Soulsgame than this, and players are left to wonder why the original version of this game wasn’t as dank
Nexus Mod userTerry29291is the artisan behind this masterpiece of digital media. Fans should all be so lucky to be as inspired as this modder.
9Death Count V2
Ever wanted to know just how badly a currentDark Souls IIIplaythrough is going? Well, theDeath Count V2bydavinxy01is here to make gamers feel just a little bit worse about themselves. This Mod is as simple as it sounds: it keeps track of every death.

In addition to destroying self-esteem,this mod is also effectivefor those who are looking to improve theirDark Souls IIIgame. It’s funny to think about the game abusing the player with the number of times they’ve died to the skeleton wheels or been petrified by a basilisk, but this is actually a fairly useful tool for the more hardcoreDark Souls IIIplayers.
8Adidas Tracksuit Mod
Look, sometimes the Fallen Knight and Firekeeper armor sets just aren’t stylish enough. Sometimes, the player just wants to look like a Brooklyn podcaster, and theAdidas Tracksuit Modhas them covered there. It replaces the Clandestine Coat and Mirrah Trousers with the top and bottom of an Adidas Tracksuit, keeping the Ashen One looking athletic and stylish.
This mod was uploaded by usercorea6072and authored by ymfah. Don’t forget to go for a morning jog around Irithyll of the Boreal Valley.
7Vulgar Death And Bonfire Message Replacement
These are actually two different mods by different Nexus users. The exact text replacement for either can’t be written here (but can be seen via the links to the mods themselves). That said, both are pretty funny and capture how many players actually feel when they die and light a bonfire inDark Souls III.
The first mod, theVulgar Death Message Replacement, was authored and uploaded by userThracca.The second, theVulgar Bonfire Text Replacementmod, comes fromProfCocoa.
6Thanks Obama
Though this meme is fairly dated (by two literal presidential administrations now), it’s still worth a solid chuckle.
TheThanks Obamamod replaces the “You Died” text from theDark Souls IIIdeath screen with the phrase “Thanks Obama,” which may just get gamers to crack a grin next time Pontiff Sulyvahn manages to take them out. This one comes to fans from Nexus userNick Kerttula.
5Enemy Onslaught
There are those that feel thatDark Souls IIIjust isn’t difficult enough as is, which may seem mad to some fans. However, there’s nothing wrong with constantly trying to improve one’s game. Thankfully, there are mods out that suit this idea.
TheEnemy Onslaughtmod is suited for this idea. It allows a player to duplicate every enemy in the game, bosses included, up to four times. However, it makes this list because the thought of a trio of Yhorms charging at the Ashen One with murder in their eyes is pretty darn funny. This mod comes from userTKGPand requires theUXMmod, also from TKGP.
4Blessed Gesture
Fortniteis downright inescapable, and evenDark Souls IIIisn’t safe from aFortnitereference or two. With theBlessed Gesturemod, the player can replace the default bow emote fromDark Souls IIIwith the default dance fromFortnite.
This mod was uploaded to Nexus by userprojectgreylakeand was authored by Itzli. Furthermore, it requires the aforementioned UXM mod by TKGP or theDS3 Mod EnginebyKatalashto install.
3Poorly Translated Edition
The translations inDark Soulshave been studied by thoseinterested in the lore over the yearsin order to see if any secrets are hidden in how things may have changed from Japanese to English. Well, players can now make things even more confusing for themselves with thePoorly Translated Editionmod toDark Souls IIIbySullivanMcBlueberry.

This mod takes all the text fromDark Souls III,runs it through Google Translate several times in different languages, and puts the end result back into the game. Players can just accept that they’ll never know the true meaning of it all. This mod also puts in new voiceovers to complete the jumbled experience.
2Modern Firearms (Call Of Souls: Modern Warfare III)
Ever wish it was possible to just blow the Fire Witches from Irithyll of the Boreal Valley away like an Arnold Schwarzenegger character? Look no further. TheModern Firearms(aka Call of Souls: Modern Warfare III) mod adds actual guns toDark Souls III.Now players can cure the Undead Curse with hot lead once and for all.
Who needs great hammers, longbows, and ultra greatswords when there are guns? This delightfully deranged mod was uploaded by userasasasasasbcand authored by Forsakensilver.
1Pocket Souls
Finally, it’s possible to just turnDark Souls IIIintoPokemon. The player can capture enemy mobs and use them to fight other foes in one-on-one combat.So drop those katanasand crossbows, and pick up a Pokeball.
Pocket Soulsadds new weapons, armor, items, boss battles, and even trainer battles to the game. It is an expansive addition to the game thanks to Nexus mod userAngusIsLove. This one is both hilarious and ambitious, and it’s hard to think of a better mod with which to finish out this list.
