FAQ’s

Please Read Faq’s Before Download the Game.

Why is my antivirus flagging the download?

The download includes a custom “Lazy Loader” tool that injects code into the game engine. This behavior often triggers false positives in generic antivirus software. It is safe, but you may need to whitelist the folder.

Does this include the full Dark Souls 3 game?

No. This is a modification package. You must own the base game and both DLCs on Steam for these files to function.

Can I play this on PS5 or Xbox via USB?

No. Archthrones relies on Windows-specific DLL files and memory hooks. It is technically impossible to run on consoles.

Is there a Torrent or Direct Download?

We recommend NexusMods for version control, but a secondary mirror is available on our Discord for users with slow connections.
