Elden Ring: Nightreign has expanded the Lands Between into even darker territories. The new Shadow Enemies and the punishing “Eclipse” mechanic make the base game feel like a tutorial. While the challenge is the point, losing 5 million Runes because you fell off a dark cliff is heartbreaking.
I tried using standard Cheat Engine tables to recover my lost Runes, but Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) blocked the process immediately, crashing my game and warning of “Inappropriate Activity.” To play safely without risking a ban, I switched to the XMOD Trainer, which includes a built-in launcher to disable EAC automatically for modded play.

The Technical Problem: Why Cheat Engine Fails (EAC)
If you launch Elden Ring normally and try to attach Cheat Engine, it won’t work. This is not a bug; it is a security feature.
1. The “Easy Anti-Cheat” Wall
Elden Ring uses Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC), a kernel-level driver that launches before the game. It prevents any external software (like Cheat Engine) from reading or writing to the game’s memory.
The Consequence: If you try to force it, the game will detect the intrusion and disconnect you, potentially flagging your Steam ID.
2. Dynamic Update Addresses
With the release of the Nightreign expansion, FromSoftware has patched the executable (eldenring.exe) multiple times. Static pointers from 2024 no longer align with the new memory addresses for Health, Stamina, or the new DLC items.
The Solution: XMOD Trainer (Auto-Bypass)
The XMOD Elden Ring Trainer is designed to handle the EAC problem for you. It launches the game in a special “Offline / No-EAC” mode, allowing cheats to work perfectly without communicating with the game servers.
It helps you conquer the Nightreign with these features:
God Mode: Take zero damage from bosses. Perfect for learning the attack patterns of the new Eclipse Knights.
Infinite Runes: Set your Runes to 99,999,999 instantly. Buy every spell, weapon upgrade, and consumable.
Item Spawner (100% Drop Rate): Don’t want to grind? Force the game to drop the new DLC weapons and armor on the first kill.
Infinite FP & Stamina: Spam your strongest Ashes of War and Sorceries without pausing.
Freeze Daytime: Control the time of day to avoid (or trigger) specific Night-only boss spawns.
Comparison: Manual Bypass vs. Trainer
Many players ask: “Can’t I just rename the exe file to bypass EAC?”

Step-by-Step Guide to Installing and Using XMOD
Important: To bypass anti-cheat safely, please follow these steps.
Do not launch the game from Steam. Open the XMOD Client and click “Launch Game”.
The trainer will automatically suppress start_protected_game.exe and launch eldenring.exe directly in offline mode. You will see a message saying “Inappropriate activity detected” on the title screen—this is normal and means EAC is successfully disabled.
3. Activate Features
Load your save file. Once your character is standing in the world, use the Hotkeys:
Numpad 1: God Mode
Numpad 2: Infinite Runes
Numpad 3: Infinite FP/Stamina
Numpad 4: One Hit Kill
4. Customize Your Experience
Pro Tip for Seamless Co-op:
If you are using the Seamless Co-op Mod, launch the mod launcher first, then open XMOD. Since Seamless Co-op already disables EAC, the trainer will attach instantly, allowing you and your friends to mess around with cheats in your private session.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: Can I use this in Official PvP?
A: No. The trainer forces the game into Offline Mode. You cannot invade official servers while using cheats. This protects your account from being banned.
Q: Will I get banned for using this offline?
A: No. FromSoftware generally does not ban players for modifying their save files in Offline Mode. However, avoid editing your stats to impossible numbers (e.g., 99 Strength at Level 1) if you plan to go online later.
Q: Does this work with the Seamless Co-op Mod?
A: Yes! XMOD is fully compatible with the Seamless Co-op mod. Since that mod uses a separate save file and no EAC, you can use cheats safely with your friends.
Conclusion: Become the Elden Lord
The Nightreign expansion is brutal, but you don’t have to suffer through it. Whether you want to test new builds instantly or just enjoy the story without the stress, the XMOD Trainer is your safest tool.
