A new mod for Elden Ring, titled Great Shinobi Blade – Owl Moveset, has captured the attention of the gaming community by incorporating an extra-large katana with unique moves inspired by the iconic character Great Shinobi Owl from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Developed by the modder known as cleverraptor6, this mod allows players to explore a variety of combat strategies, both in one-handed and two-handed modes.

One of the most notable features of the mod is the ability to throw shurikens as light and heavy attacks while holding the katana in one hand. By switching to a two-handed style, players can access a set of sword moves that offer considerable versatility, a rarity among Elden Ring weapons. This focus on skill and variety redefines combat, allowing players to perform acrobatic and powerful moves.
Additionally, Great Shinobi Blade includes an enhanced jump and a backflip acrobatics, allowing users to attack from the air and effectively avoid enemy attacks. Following Sekiro’s combat philosophy, the mod replaces the block function with a deflection system that reduces damage and stamina wear, facilitating quick counterattacks. It also incorporates an ability that allows the character to disappear in a cloud of mist before reappearing to execute a strong downward strike, a mechanic that has proven to be effectively useful in battles against difficult bosses like Malenia.
The complexity and depth of the code behind this mod suggest a promising future for the creation of more elaborate mods for Elden Ring. Interested parties can download Great Shinobi Blade – Owl Moveset on NexusMods, a popular site for video game mods, where the community continues to explore the possibilities of the game.
