What Dark Souls Remastered Archipelago is

Dark Souls Remastered Archipelago (DSAP) is a free, open-source multiworld randomizer and client for Dark Souls Remastered. It moves eligible item locations into a shared pool, so items can come from other locations while the original spots hold replacements. Fogwall Sanity is enabled by default: required pool items can keep fog walls locked, and crossing one counts as a check. Players can adjust options such as starting equipment, weapon upgrades or infusions, and excluded locations or regions, then choose a goal including Gwyn, all 26 bosses, Manus, or Ornstein and Smough. Setup requires Archipelago Launcher 0.6.7 or later, the DSAP world file, and the desktop client; multiworlds can be hosted through the launcher or Archipelago.gg. PopTracker and a DSR map pack are optional. Windows is the better-tested platform; Linux use through Proton on Steam is preliminary. The project describes the implementation as unstable and in beta, with occasional client crashes and reports of a Fog Wall Key not opening its related wall. The client must stay running during play to send and receive items and locations. Do not connect the mod or its saves to FromSoftware network servers, as this may lead to account restrictions.

Verdict

DSAP adds shared item placement, configurable goals, and fogwall checks to Dark Souls Remastered. Expect bugs, keep the client running during play, and avoid connecting the mod or its saves to FromSoftware servers.
