I am just finishing my first playthrough in Dark Souls 3 and i gathered 7 tips that i would like to share with you before starting the game , as i would wish to have known.
Equip your estus flask fast
If you are like me you want to have many items at your disposal, your flasks(now are two of them ,1 for life and 1 for mana) ,bombs ,bones, resins and other power ups.However by having all of them together in time of need when you are in a hurry to drink your estus, you many times miss it and toggle again from the start. There is a mechanic that you can equip it fast .You just hold down on the Dpad and it brings you on the first item. Usually for all of us this one is the estus flask.
Checking for illusory walls
As i played dark souls 2 ,i was used to check them by clicking the action button.Beware that doesn't work. I missed many illusory walls on my first hours before i figure that out .To check for them just hit themHow to get hollow
I never got the chance to get hollow and when i checked it on the web i said what the heck.In this dark souls when you die you dont get hollow like the others.And when you get its not a bad thing.On the contrary you get some positive effects (Ok you dont look very nice without clothes and something on your face).You can get hollow by finding an npc called Yoel of Londor. When you speak to him again back in the shrine, he allows you to get a free level. when you do, you get a dark sigil. Every time you die and you have a dark sigil on your inventory, you get a level up on your hollowification . You can level up for free 5 times before Yoel dies. For more details about Yoel's questline and how to remove sigil, check the wiki or youtube there are many videos about npcs quests.By getting hollow except for the bad looks ,you get a bonus on luck.if your hollowing level is above 15, weapons infused with a Hollow Gem will boost the layer’s Luck attribute. A +10 Hollow weapon will give a +5 bonus to Luck, which can be doubled by dual-wielding to +10. .If you want to heal your hollowing, you can do it with a purging stone or by Velka. To cure the Dark Sigil, you must retrieve the Fire Keeper’s Soul from the tower behind Firelink Shrine. Curing the Dark Sigil, becomes more expensive as the game progresses.Npcs
On my first playthrough i found very few of the available npcs and i think i haven't finished any of their questlines. This is because they are hidden and its very easy to lose their quests by progressing the game.When you find them though you have the opportunity to buy many staff (items, spells, etc) and unlock many weapons.Play co-op with your friend easier
Dark souls is notorious for co-op playing.If you wanted to play with your friend you ought to had around the same amount of souls.This means you cant progress the game on your own and play with your friend the same time. This was really disturbing.Now you can set a password shared between you and your friend and you will be able to get summoned regardless on your soul level.To balance the power gap between you two, the game scales down the phantom's strength to match it with the host's.
Weapon arts and charged attack
I completed a large part of the game and i didn't use them once and i really regret it .Weapon arts is accessed by hitting the L2 button on your controller .I am still not a big fan of them in general but there is a certain area in which everything is so slow..I wish i knew about the daggers weapon arts it really makes it bearable.Some weapons also have buffs on their weapon arts , others are spamming attacks that makes them good on pvp. The charged attack is a more powerful attack that is in your disposal . You can use it by holding down and release the R2 buttonCovenants
Joining a Covenant involves locating and equipping a special item or talisman related to the Covenant. If you want to enable the covenant, you have to equip the item in your inventory and then play online to get the rewards. The reward for invading and killing another host depends on which covenant item you equip .For example if i have equipped the Warrior of Sunlight item i will get a sunlight medal.
Time for NG+ guys ! Praise the Sun !
You can also roll into illusory walls if you don't want to damage your weapon.
