Description

Dark Souls 3 for PC is a fantasy action role-playing game, the fourth in the series and a close follow-on from its immediate predecessor, Dark Souls 2. The game is set in a fictional universe, in the Kingdom of Lothric, where are lengthy period of enlightenment (literally) is being threatened by the coming of the Age of Dark. The player must ensure the survive of the Age of Fire by ensuring that the First Flame continues to burn a while longer.

About the Game


The player takes on the third-person persona of the Ashen One, who is tasked with ‘linking’ the First Flame to keep it burning. The flame is fuelled by the sacrifices of heroes and champions, who willingly sacrifice their souls to the flame, thereby becoming Lords of Cinder. This has happened in an unbroken line from times gone by until now. The Ashen One failed to link the flame and has not become a Lord of Cinder, instead being known as an Unkindled.

The Ashen One arises as the player enters the game, and is given the mission of returning the Prince Lothric and the rebellious Lords of Cinder to their rightful places, their thrones in Firelink Shrine. The flame is dying because Prince Lothric has defied his destiny: he must be persuaded otherwise.

Successfully returning the Lords of Cinder and the Prince, they travel on to the ruins of the Kiln of the First Flame: at this point, after the defeat of the Soul of Cinder, there are four potential endings, more about which see below.

Battles and Treasures and Weapons, Oh My


In the course of his mission, the Ashen One must battle using a variety of weapons, that range from bows to swords to throwable projectiles, with shields and evasive manoeuvres an important skill to learn. Each weapon has a standard use and a boost: a powered-up version which must be used sparingly as it does not last long and takes a bit of time to reset once depleted.
He will also battle a wide range of creatures, many of them grisly and in keeping with the spectral, supernatural theme of the game. Watch out for skeletal hounds, various hostile lizard-men, the undead in forms that range from skeleton to blood-thirsty knight to the revolting Pus of Man, an enemy who transforms from vaguely normal man-shape into a hideous abyss-tainted corruption. Enemies drop resources though, so be sure to grab them all.

The Ashen One can use magic by acquiring FP (focus points) which are used up whenever a spell is cast. Hit Points (HP) is used when taking damage from enemies, and both of these are refilled through estus flasks, magical healing vessels that can be upgraded up to seven times for maximum benefit.

Ending It All


There are four potential endings after the Soul of Cinder has been defeated. They are as follows:
  • Link the Flame: The player can attempt to link to the First Flame, ensuring that the Age of Fire will continue

  • Summon the Fire Keeper: The Fire Keeper will extinguish the flame and the Age of Dark will begin in earnest

  • Kill the Fire Keeper: This is much like the ending above, except after summoning the Fire Keeper, you kill her. Note: you will not receive any end game achievements for playing out this ending. The Fire Keeper will respawn as soon as you leave the area, so you can come back and try again

  • Keep the Flame: The Ashen One can choose to keep the flame for themselves, an option which results in his becoming the Dark Lord of Londor

  • Dark Souls 3 for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

    Best game of my life, would recommend if you want to loose your sanity or have already lost it. I had lots of fun and about 140 Hours playtime. Compared to the other souls games (not DS2) it holds its place at my top 3!

    Most fantastic experience. If you like medieval aesthetic or any sort of fantasy story this will deliver. An immersive dark fantasy adventure you can play with your friends and it will test your skills. No matter how hard it gets, it rewards endurance and anyone can beat it with enough motivation.
    • Very good combat
    • Best bosses in any game ever
    • Aesthetically brilliant.

    Hardly compatible with mouse and keyboard, I had to download a mod so correct input options show up. Also the game is so gloomy compared to ds1 and I get lost a lot. I got lost in ds1 too but the correct path was way easier to follow

    the bosses are very fun and creative. everyone should play this game atleast once.

    when you get used to the controls and memorise attack patterns the game gets alot more fun.

    The strongest entry to end phenomenal trilogy. This time with more power and more lore love. FromSoftware games never stops you loving them.

    Kindle your first bonfire and cary your journey to the end. Try to be that hero or die trying. Everything is so well put in this title it blows my mind. From walking courpses to the flying giant dragons. So many of well designed and scary crafted enemies. Always asking what you gonna see next. The bosses gives you tippy toe challenge where they push you to the limits. Once again some of the most amazing and breahtaking of them are made it here. Yet alone The Nameless King, Sister Friede, Gael and Darkeater Midir will stuck in you mind for a long time. If you want to beat them you gonna learn how to dance with them. Its like walking in dark fantasy dream land. From giant castles to the frozen lands of forgotten tales. One of the best parts is trying to figure it out the story itself. If you know what you killing it gives you more meaning and perspective to the whole world surrounding of dark souls.

    Thanks to developers who made this game more acceptable in every way. Trying to get help from other players never felt so easy. Everyone is so helpfull and great. This title showed me that Dark Souls community is the most humble of them. Seeing so many people gathering near bonfire with so many different sets of armour makes you smile.

    One complaint I had with this title that it was the most hardest for me cause of one soul reason. They nerfed Sourcerer class to the ground. I hope they fix this mistake in Elden ring.

    This is it the journey ended. . .or maybe not yet. We will meet in Elden Ring once more to test our limits.

    I love pain, blood and retry.

    Awesome music, variety of weapons, spells and armor (wich is mostly cosmetic at some point).

    Both DLC are very good and Darkeater Midir was one of the hardest boss I fought in a video game.

    Dark Souls 3 is an outstanding masterpiece that takes players on a captivating journey through a dark and breathtaking fantasy world. The intricate design of the environments and impressive graphics make the game world come alive. The combat system is challenging, rewarding tactical approaches and precise timing. The variety of weapons and abilities allows for individual customization of one's playstyle.

    The challenge the game offers is deeply satisfying. Every victory over a powerful foe or a tricky enemy feels like a true accomplishment. Exploring the world and solving sidequests is highly rewarding, as they lead to deeper insights into the rich background story.

    The somber atmosphere of Dark Souls 3 is intensified by an impressive soundscape and poignant musical accompaniment. The mysterious plot prompts contemplation and invites players to form their own interpretations.

    Overall, Dark Souls 3 is a triumphant game that will captivate both hardcore and casual gamers alike. The combination of challenging gameplay, impressive graphics, and engaging boss fights makes it an unforgettable experience.

    Dark souls 3 feels like a love letter to the community and fans who have played and been a part of this trilogy. It brings an epic conclusion to this intricate yet beautiful world of Dark Souls.

    The game has one of the strongest roaster of main bosses in the series. The bosses are challenging but very well balanced. Personally I felt the game is a bit easier as compared to the others in the series and that is because the game rewards the players who figure out and get used to the patterns and the mechanics the game has to offer.

    The game takes good amount of influence from Bloodborne, be it the faster combat or spooky areas with somewhat spooky enemies or lot of howling and shouting here and there etc. The game also has some really heart warming throwbacks to the OG Dark Souls and I loved how they picked up few interesting mechanics from DS2 as well.

    For me a really important aspect I look forward to in a souls game is the exploration bit. Going through the world, exploring secrets, finding shortcuts etc. This aspect in DS3 was somewhat weaker for me. Now there are secrets to uncover and shortcuts to find but the world felt a bit bland in terms of variety and it looks less vibrant. Having said that, I do understand that world is designed keeping in mind the context of the story and definitely the overall visual storytelling is very strong. The themes of decay and stagnation and very well depicted.

    An amazing game overall.

    PS: The DLCs are truly epic with some really memorable boss encounters. Ringed city is peak Dark Souls.

    The best thing I've bought. Truly a masterpiece

    The great graphics that go along with the difficult, and yet addictive combat with amazing areas to explore takes this to the next level.

    This game is about figuring things out on your own and learning how to beat each boss because each one takes a different strategy. And yea you might die alot trying to beat a certain boss but it just makes it that much better when you do beat him. If you just beat every boss the first time without challenge is that really gonna be fun. Aside from the bosses and challenge, each level has its own environment and lore to go along with it.

    Most epic game I have ever played. I always wanted to try it and took this chance with this site. The boss battles, equipment, NPC's as well as the soundtrack are finely made with a lot of passion from the devs.

    It's an overall well made game but requires the player to stay D E T E R M I N A T E D.

    I first picked this game up for PS4, because it was in sale and I thought what could I do wrong? Turns out a lot. I had to git gud. I quickly bought this game on PC and grinded. 150 hours and a few Playthroughs later I can say it's a true Masterpiece, worthy of it's praise. But the Mechanics are so incredible I now hate all other games for their mechanics.
