So you wanted to play Dark Souls! Your friends talk about it all the time or you just heard a lot of good reviews about this game. You were somehow persuaded to buy this game. But now that you started playing, the game is not what you hoped for! You feel like she's not worth the time and you can't figure out what needs to be done to progress through the story. In this article, you will learn about some tips that can help you!
Steps
1 Your primary goal is to explore the location, search for and defeat bosses, and all this you must do without ever dying! Therefore, you must defeat all enemies in the location and try not to take damage at all. Learn to move, learn to block and dodge enemy strikes, and how best to hit them yourself. Combo attacks, parrying and counterattacking, as well as blows from behind. Learn to move in your inanimate body in the first chapter of the game. 
2 Explore the relationship between stats and equipment. Take a look at the red and green stripes at the top of the screen. Your vitality increases the red health bar, and your stamina increases the green stamina bar. If you were diligent in the first step, the purpose of these strips should be clear to you. Find the weapon you like and take a look at its description. Does it require certain characteristics to be used? What characteristics does it increase? Find a blacksmith and upgrade him, and it will become a very powerful weapon! 
3 Understand the relationship between armor, protection, balance, and load rating. Heavy armor will give more protection, but lower resistance rates, and they weigh a lot more! If your character gets too heavy, your movement will be difficult and your stamina will recover much more slowly! Just remember what can affect your speed performance. 
4 If all else fails, ask for help! There are two well-developed wikis on the Internet, both with their own forums and even more various discussions on other sites. If you have any difficulties in the game, there are many players who will gladly help you.
Tips
- “Should I become a knight? Or maybe a magician? Or maybe a thief? " These are the first questions that players ask themselves when they first start playing. In truth, every Dark Souls veteran will chuckle when asked questions like this. This game offers you almost unlimited freedom of character development. You have 100% control over wearable equipment and weapons. Your character will have a starting point, but the knight who started the game with a broadsword can end up in the game, pouring a barrage of magic on his enemies. The pyromancer can lay down his flame and take up his club. Any possible choice lies entirely on the shoulders of the player!
- In battle, the targeting system can become a double-edged sword! When you target an enemy, you get the opportunity to better defend yourself and keep the enemy in sight. You block attacks much more efficiently and you can dodge or attack the enemy from different directions with very little effort. However, some powerful opponents are so fast that they can hit you back if you move in targeting mode. You can only run when you are looking forward and not in aiming mode! Most players will miss you if you de-target and run around them.
- Dark Souls is a game that rewards you for your knowledge. Use your every advantage to take over the enemy, because he will not play fair!
