About this mod

Compatible with The Convergence mod version 2.1

All changes from 1.24 onward are listed in a text document inside of the main file. 1.29 will be the sticking point for a while until I make a compatibility patch for the last version of The Convergence.

World Changes

• (Version 1.1) - Reduced named NPC poise

• Slowed down Beheaded Knight's animations to match their vanilla Champion Gundyr equivalents
• Made Beheaded Knight parryable; equivalent to vanilla Champion Gundyr
• Slowed Down Archdruid Caimar's animations so he doesn't consistently chain attacks with incompatible dodge windows, although phase 2 seems to be bugged
• Dramatically reduced the damage of Archdruid Caimar's essence drain due to homing orbs often making damage unavoidable in some form
• Slowed Down Lilianne's animations to reduce the clutter of area damage effects from her attacks (and because no Gael)

• Changed Katana 1-handed R1 moveset to not be so bad
  

Weapon/Shield Changes

• Removed White Mist's frosty sound effect when appearing in the player's hand due to it being potentially ear-piercing and replaying every time the model disappears and reappears, such as when using Estus (found in fdp_smain_dlc1.fsb if you want to put it back in)
