A mod that replaces the Wind-Up Magnai minion with Sidurgu Orl (and Rielle!) from the Dark Knight quests, meant to compliment my Wind-Up Fray mod that replaces the Sadu minion.
This was definitely the hardest and most stressful mod I've made so far. I learned animation editing for FFXIV just so I could rotate the weapon bone for the sword swing (because Magnai uses an axe, which you grab from a different part than you would with a sword) which caused all kinds of issues. As a result, the sword does not properly line up with Sidurgu's back during his run animation and does not fit entirely in his hands during his sword swinging animation. I'm extremely sorry if this ends up being a dealbreaker, but I couldn't figure out how to fix it (the run animation one specifically) as I don't know how to replace multiple animations within the same .pap file.
When near a Wind-Up Fray (or Sadu) the two of them will interact with each other by brandishing their weapons.
Making minions takes a lot of time and effort and testing (thank you to my FC for tolerating my constant log-ins and log-outs), and this minion in particular took a lot out of me mentally, but it is completely free to download.
