GAME MECHANICS
Explore game mechanics
Browse possible checks, rewards and settings. What appears in your game depends on your World options.
The catalog lists 1,506 addressable checks from the APWorld bundled with client 4.0.2; four internal event entries have no network address. With default settings, DLC is enabled and the 37 checks flagged for NG+ content are disabled, leaving 1,469 addressable checks before item-placement restrictions. The maintainer notes those NG+-flagged rewards can appear in a normal NG run without entering NG+. There are 279 DLC-tagged checks: 266 in DLC areas and 13 DLC boss-soul shop trades at Firelink; using them requires ownership of both expansions. By default, Hidden, Small Crystal Lizards, Upgrade, Small Souls and Miscellaneous groups cannot hold progression items; missable locations also cannot hold progression. Those checks remain part of the location set and may hold other item classes, depending on the selected behavior. Counts describe source tables, not a tested seed.
Actions and milestones that can send a check to your multiworld.

Playing with others
Independent single-player runs connected through Archipelago. This entry does not claim native online co-op compatibility.
Known scope and limitations
- Use the current fswap client and maintainer guide, not the older 3.x setup still linked from some Archipelago pages. The documented game version is 1.15.2.
- Some new options require the APWorld bundled with this client. Generate the local randomizer data before launching the modded game.
- Optional enemy randomization can create broken encounters or crashes. The maintainer documents disabling it while preserving item placements.
- Linux has a dedicated package, but the static randomizer requires .NET under plain Wine. Public Linux startup reports remain open; support is documented, not independently tested here.
- Use the supplied ModEngine3 launcher and its offline game protections. Do not treat this as ordinary online Souls co-op.
