This insane Ring Fit mod turns Dark Souls into the most intense workout you’ve ever had.

Dark Souls is already pretty intense, but just imagine if you actually had to wear all that armor and swing a sword that weighs half as much as you do? You’d probably get stabbed to death by the first skeleton you encounter.

But not if you start using this crazy new Ring Fit mod, courtesy of Reddit user SuperLouis64. He’s done something to make Dark Souls just a little bit more realistic by making this mod work your body as hard as it does your mind. And thumbs.

It’s called the Ring Fit Adventure x Dark Souls III Mod, and as the name suggests, it lets you play Dark Souls III on the Switch using the Ring Fit. However, this doesn’t just replace the regular controls with Ring Fit actions--although it certainly does that too. The actual mod is just as sinister as Dark Souls in its application.

The biggest feature of the mod is the running. In order to move at all, you must keep running in place AT ALL TIMES. No running means no movement, and everyone knows that Dark Souls is a game about precise movement. If you can’t move at the right time, you die. Period.

Additionally, the mod checks to make sure that you're running fast enough. Slow down in the real world and you'll freeze up in the game. This also means you can't cheeze the mod by walking or jogging, or by setting up some perpetual motion machine that gently jostles the ring fit to imitate running.

To attack, you squeeze the ring. Squatting lets you use Estus to heal. Other than that, the controls are the same as they are in the Switch version of Dark Souls III with the added complication of needing to be running in place constantly.

So far there hasn’t been a download link posted, but hopefully we get one soon!
