Imagine a world on the verge of collapse. Its population is undead, hope fading. Will the future of the doomed be changed?
Overview
Released in 2011, the RPG-action game quickly gained popularity. The Golden Joystick Award and critics' rave reviews speak for themselves. Passing the game "Dark Souls" will allow you to plunge into the gloomy world of the living dead and try to break through to the light through constant suffering and death.
Choose your favorite role, hone the necessary skills, create a unique set of weapons and armor. There is also the possibility of battles online.
Classes in the game
The passage of Dark Souls will depend on the choice of class only at the initial stage. Then, if you wish, you can change all the characteristics.
The game features the following roles. Warrior, knight, traveler, thief, bandit, hunter, wizard, pyromancer, cleric and destitute.
For beginners, the wanderer (traveler) class is preferable. At the same level as other characters, he gets more skill points and magic obeys him faster.
If you like the game on the verge of death, and the pleasure of completing an unrealistic level can not be compared with anything, then your choice is Dark Souls. The weapons here will be different, but there is one secret for beginners.
Try to beat enemies in the distance. Small arms and a spell will help you with this. This will help to pump faster, especially at first.
Good onions can be bought in Andedburg. Immediately stock up with a hundred arrows to it. Crossbows are used very rarely, since in this game it is very difficult to hit from them.
Block and evasion, in principle, will be your best friends. Often dying and resurrecting around the fire, you will gradually begin to master the wisdom of this world.
Plot
As such, the linear development of events in the game is clearly not represented. Locations are created according to the "seamless" method and the protagonist has complete freedom of action.
To figure out where to go and what to do, you will have to communicate with other characters, carefully watch videos that will periodically show.
In the world, life is dying away, the living dead roam. Our hero is one of them. In the initial video, we will learn briefly about previous events.
The passage of Dark Souls is characterized by the openness of the world and complete freedom of decision-making.
Further, having escaped from prison - the shelter of the dead, with the help of the unknown, we hear about prophecy. It turns out that your character is the Chosen One and he is destined to save everyone.
The currency in this world is the souls of your enemies. For them, you can raise the level, repair weapons and armor, buy various items.
The second thing worth mentioning is humanity. This is a thing that the main character discovers in different locations. With its help, he can temporarily remove the effect of undead, create more healing potions and gain access to the online mode when connected to the Internet.
Covenants
The game "Dark Souls" introduces us to nine factions. They are divided into those who are focused on PVE (battle with computer monsters) or PVP (battle with real players).
Here are their names:
- PVE Guild - Servants of Chaos
- PVP - Blade of the Dark Moon, Forest Hunter, Dark Anger, Servant of the Grave Lord and the Path of the Dragon.
- The mode of cooperation is the Path of Light, the Guardian of the Princess and the Warrior of Sunlight.
When you join any of them, you sign the contract and accept the charter. For violation of points you will be ranked as a sinner and members of the PVP fractions will be able to hunt you.
The passage of Dark Souls can be greatly facilitated by joining the guild.
You can “wash” your reputation with Oswald in Andeperish. The cost of one level is 2000 souls.
Tips for a comfortable game
The passage of the game "Dark Souls" is built on the principles of the old school. You will have to think and carefully consider your actions. Here you can’t break into the crowd of monsters and quickly destroy everyone.
Even at the first locations there will be monsters that you can defeat only after reaching high levels.
This leads to the first advice - do not attack everyone in a row and often save. It may sometimes be better to bypass or entice one at a time. Use bow or magic for this.
Clean yourself up more often. Repair, restore potions, upgrade weapons.
Remember everything. Behavior of bosses with superstrokes, unusual places and so on. Dying a couple of times, you can master the tactics and subsequently destroy more powerful monsters at early levels. If you wish, you can use the Dark Souls Wiki database, which will significantly reduce your nerve consumption.
Communicate with players if you run online, and with computer characters. Often you can get the help you need.
Secrets
We buy a box from the first merchant. It in fact turns out to be dimensionless. We put things there, later there will be an opportunity to sell them.
Two skeletons at the beginning of the game should not be afraid. They must be pulled to the edge, during the battle they themselves will fall down.
The tactics of battle with some opponents, especially with knights, are as follows. When a monster swings its weapon, for example a club, it must be hit with a shield. This fights and neutralizes its damage (click the left mouse button), then hit it yourself (right button). And so on until victory.
If you find it difficult to defeat a monster, increase the indicator of humanity. This will increase your protection.
The passage of Dark Souls is sometimes delayed due to the low level of the character. It is better not to rush and run around at this time, to collect additional points. Locations where you can collect the most souls, humanity and fragments of titanite. The first is the Depths. Light enough for passing and farming. It is important to maximize your resistance to curses and poison. You can “knock out” more than 4000 souls.
The next area is the Seine Fortress. With sufficient skill and the destruction of all monsters, you get about 8,000.
Demon Ruins are also popular, although more complex than previous locations.
Dark Souls 2
Continuation of the sensational game in 2011. Now the main character sets off on a journey, trying to heal from the curse. The road leads to the kingdom of Dranglik, where, according to legend, it will turn out to remove the image of the undead from itself and become an ordinary person. Updated battle mechanics, more advanced online collaboration features, the ability to teleport through bonfires from the start, and additional types of souls for healing. These and some other innovations make the world of Dark Souls 2 unique. Passing it will be as difficult and exciting as in the first part.
This part is not a direct continuation. In the story, we learn that the kingdom of Dranglik was built on the ruins of Lordran (the name of the world of the original game).
The changes also affected the battle mode against real players. Now attacking them (or “invading”) will turn out not only in the form of man, but also in the form of undead.
Advice
Take care of the soul. If you die, you will lose part of the reserves of this currency. Therefore, try to keep most of it in a safe place or spend more on improvements.
By the way, pumping will turn out only at the Emerald Messenger in the city.
There will be an opportunity to reset all abilities. But do not rely heavily on her, since activation will require a Soul Vessel, and it is very rare.
Try to read the reviews in advance in the forums, in the “Dark Souls Wiki” directory, form the image and layout of the talents of your future world ruler in your head.
Burning certain things can change the complexity of the game, or contribute to better pumping.
Are you following a lot of monsters? Is life at the limit? But there is a staircase nearby. Hiding without delay! This is the only salvation.
When pumping, pay special attention to endurance. She and she alone plays a crucial role in Dark Souls 2. Passing with its minimum amount becomes impossible.
Try to unload the backpack as much as possible. The weight of armor, weapons, and junk in your pockets can ruin your character.
Be careful not to get in trouble. Rush the crowd in this game is not worth it. Also, rationally approach the filling of quick access cells. Often common sense will save your life.
