GAME MECHANICS
Explore game mechanics
Browse possible checks, rewards and settings. What appears in your game depends on your World options.
The APWorld defines 1,288 unique coded check candidates plus 18 local logic events. The default Scholar of the First Sin setup has 924 checks with DLC and New Game+ off. Original-edition, DLC and New Game+ checks remain optional. The source marks 19 default checks as excluded from progression-item placement; they remain checks. This is a static source review, not a runtime playtest.

Playing with others
A solo Dark Souls II save exchanges items with a multiworld. A player report describes asynchronous play, but save-loss recovery is a separate limitation. Official Souls online co-op is disabled by this mod.
Known scope and limitations
- Choose the correct game edition in the YAML and the corresponding DLL: original Dark Souls II is x86; Scholar of the First Sin is x64. Rename the selected DLL to dinput8.dll and place it next to the game executable.
- The Steam link, artwork and popularity count here refer to Scholar of the First Sin. The original Steam edition is also documented by the maintainer and linked separately.
- The mod forces official Souls offline mode. Archipelago still needs network access from the game process; a blanket firewall block prevents remote AP connections. Do not use modified saves on official online services.
- Start a new save after connecting through the mod's console. Back up that save: a player reports that replacing a corrupted character did not restore already received items automatically.
- New Game+ is explicitly work in progress and not recommended. Keep it disabled. Dark Chasm of Old is excluded from progression by default; optional DLC requires the corresponding content.
- Pure bow or crossbow builds can struggle to obtain ammunition; a guaranteed merchant-ammo option is still requested. The pig-related pickaxe check is also reported as tedious, not necessarily broken.
- Linux/Proton has a documented dinput8 launch override, not a native Linux client or an independent Panludia runtime test. The APWorld archive lacks a manifest, so future Archipelago 0.7 compatibility is not established.
