Being a sort-of-undead
adventurer on a quest to beat up the Lords of Cinder, Dark Souls III’s biggest
and baddest bosses, until they accept their fate and kickstart a new world
isn’t easy. In fact, it’s downright difficult. A difficult Dark Souls game? What’s
the world coming to.
The original Dark Souls
made it into our list of the best RPGs on PC.
With Dark Souls III
launching imminently, now is the perfect time to devour some tips so your first
hours in Lothric won’t be spent mostly staring at the blood-red text informing
you of your demise. We’re here to help.
Classes
There is no best class in
Dark Souls III, but there are ones that will make things a lot easier for you
to begin with. For instance, a Thief is going to have a really hard time of things
initially, and is not recommended for new players. Thankfully, character
progression is extremely flexible and you can reassign points once you meet a
certain helpful lady in the Cathedral of the Deep.
Knights and Pyromancers
start off in a very good position. Knights get fantastic armour and a solid
shield from the get go, neither of which are too heavy, so dodging is just as
viable as blocking. Pyromancers have the best chance of taking out the first
boss quickly, thanks to their fire magic, and are competent melee warriors as
well as spellcasters.
What you really want,
however, are options. So, for instance, if you fancy playing as a Knight and
developing them into a stalwart tank, you still might want to carry a ranged
weapon, like a crossbow. It’s helpful when you want to draw enemies to you, and
ranged weapons always allow for some cheesy tactics.
Remember, your class
merely defines your starting stats and gear, and as you level up, it’s up to
you how you develop your character. Level up your Knight’s attunement and
intelligence, for example, and you’ll be able to use sorcery or healing spells,
transforming you into a paladin-type character.
Combat
Fights in Dark Souls III
remain similar to its predecessors, but there’s a hint of Bloodborne in there
too. The game encourages you to be more aggressive and spend less time hiding
behind your shield, though won’t force you to stop doing that. Dodging,
blocking, parrying, backstabbing – it’s much like it was in Dark Souls II, but
fights are just a little faster, and you’re likely going to be facing multiple
enemies from different sides.
The main change comes via
weapon skills, evocative of Bloodborne’s weapon transformations. These new
attacks come in many forms, from crazy spinning onslaughts to handy guard
breaks. This means more options when it comes to a fight, but also an extra
layer of complexity to get to grips with.
A whole new resource
exists now, you see. FP, which for the sake of familiarity I’m going to call
mana, since it’s blue and integral to casting spells. Mana is important to
every class, even if you never plan on casting spells, because the
aforementioned special attacks use this resource. It means that, even if you’re
a warrior, you might want to invest some points in intelligence, just to
increase that bar. And since spells now
use mana rather than being limited to a specific number, as long as there’s mana
in the tank, you can keep casting.
Firelink Shrine
This is Dark Souls III’s
hub, and if you’ve played Demon’s Souls, you’ll probably be reminded of the
Nexus. The Firelink Shrine was also the original Dark Souls’ central bonfire.
It’s where you spend souls to level up, shop, repair and upgrade weapons and
chat away to NPCs. At the start, it’s a quiet place, but as you explore the
world, you’ll encounter NPCs that will join you at the Shrine, offering their
services to you.
What services you ask? Loads!
For instance, rescue the caged Pyromancer found in the Undead Settlement, and
he’ll come to the Shrine and sell you new spells, let you unlock more if you’ve
found tomes, and upgrade your firey magic. Another NPC, a creepy Thief rescued
from the High Wall of Lothric, can be sent off to find loot for you, as well as
selling dexterity gear. There’s even a unusual pilgrim that you might encounter
right at the beginning of the Undead Settlement that offers you free levels,
before dying and being replaced by a Sorcerer.
There’s simply a huge
amount to do at the Shrine. Even the seemingly pointless NPCs will, at certain
points and once specific conditions have been met, offer you gems and emotes
and special items, so whenever you’ve killed a boss, why not have a wee chat
with them? By discovering certain objects and fulfilling NPC quests, you’ll
also increase their wares, giving you more things to throw souls at. And don’t
forget to spend bone shards at the central bonfire, as they’ll upgrade your
Estus flasks.
Estus shard locations
Your Estus flask is one of
your most important possessions, as taking a gulp from it refills your health
meter. But since there’s now mana to worry about as well, you’ll get a second
flask, the ashen Estus flask. Take a drink of that one, and you’ll refill your
mana bar.
Initially, you’ll only
have a few charges, and if you visit the blacksmith, he’ll let you allocate
them. So if you prize mana over health, you can put all of your charges in the
ashen flask. You’ll definitely want at least some charges in the regular Estus
flask, though. Thankfully, Estus shards are scattered all over the world, and
it won’t take long at all before you’re able to take swig after swig.
To get you started, grab
your first Estus shard in the High Wall of Lothric. It’s in the building you
climb down after leaving the tower, on an anvil in the room where you’ll also
find the jail cell key. In the next area, the Undead Settlement, you’ll find
another below a burning tree surrounded by worshipers, which you’ll reach by
following the main path. Get rid of the enemies standing near explosive barrels
before you take on the enemy standing in front of it.
As well as increasing the
charge capacity, you can upgrade your flasks to give you more health or mana
with each drink. You’ll need undead bone shards for that, which are much harder
to come by than Estus shards, and you can burn them in the bonfire to increase
the flasks’ potency. Find your first in the Undead Settlement, just past the
Dilapidated Bridge bonfire, on a corpse in the area where the Giant is throwing
spears at you and enemies.
Ember locations
Embers are Dark Souls
III’s version of humanity and human effigies. After consuming an Ember, your
health will increase by 1.3 times, but more importantly, you’ll be able to
summon other players to help you when you’re in a tricky spot.
By using the power of the
Lords of Cinder, you’ll be able to bring other players into your world by
interacting with soul signs, but if you die, they’ll be flung back into their
own realm, so do try to stay alive.
Embers can be found all
over the place, hidden in nooks and crannies or found on corpses. Your first
can be found early on, in the Cemetery of Ash, to the right and the left of the
entrance to the Firelink Shrine. There are lots in the High Wall of Lothric, as
well. Search the corpses of dead Knights, which sometimes contain multiple
Embers.
Boss guide
Lothric and the
surrounding region is lousy with bosses – they’re everywhere, and they want to
kill you. They probably will, too. But if you’d like to die less, then read on
for some tips on how to deal with the first bosses up to and including the
first Lord of Cinder, the Abyss Watchers.
It’s worth remembering
that each boss battle is split up into two phases, the second of which normally
– but not always – begins after the boss has lost 50 percent of their health.
This is the catalyst for an often dramatic transformation, where the boss will
use new attacks, use new weapons and in some instances even change physically.
Iudex Gundyr
Don’t know how to
pronounce his name? Don’t worry. It won’t help you win the fight, anyway.
You’ll meet Iudex before you even hit the Firelink Shrine, within the first ten
minutes of the game. He wields an imposing halberd and though he’s slow, with
clearly telegraphed attacks, they have a significant range.
During his first phase,
you’re going to want to dodge. A lot. Even if you plan on tanking your way
through the game, you simply won’t have a big enough stamina bar to block his
attacks consistently. After you’ve dodged, go in for a few attacks, and don’t
stray too far from him or he’ll leap at you. He occasionally tries to grab, as
well, which does a lot of damage, so try to stay behind him.
Once Iudex is down to half
health, he’ll transform into a hideous mass of black gooey corruption, gnashing
teeth and ferocious claws. His attacks are mostly the same, though not as
clearly telegraphed. He’s also faster and has more range. Keep doing what you
were doing before, but if you’re a Pyromancer, then good news: he’s weak
against fire. Lob those fireballs!
Vordt of the Boreal Valley
The second boss is a
doddle. Vordt is sort of like a cross between a giant frosty knight and an
angry dog. And he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Sure, he’s vicious,
and his frost debuff can slow your stamina regeneration down, but all you need
to do is stay underneath him. Get under that belly and keep attacking.
Eventually he’ll get sick
of you pummelling his gut and start charging at you – and you don’t want to be
on the receiving end of that – but you can dodge out of the way and get back
underneath him. Vordt’s one of the simplest bosses, so enjoy feeling like a
badass. It probably won’t last.
And that’s your lot! If
you’re not sure if the game’s worth all this effort, why not check out our Dark
Souls III PC review. Spoilers: it’s definitely worth the effort.

Clash Royale is a popular tower defence strategy game that is available on Android and iOS for quite some time now. The game is made by Supercell, the same game development company that gave us Clash of Clans. While the characters used for Clash Royale are similar to the previous game, the gameplay is completely different. Clash Royale combines card games, tower defence, and multiplayer online battles, to offer a unique experience.
The Basics
For those who haven't heard about Clash Royale here is quick roundup. Clash Royale is a tower defence strategy game where you need to destroy at least one opponent's tower to win the game. To do this, you need cards which are unlocked in treasure chests that you win along the way. Cards have different strengths and weaknesses, but they are mainly distinguished as Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. Common cards are well, common, and are easy to unlock; other cards, as their names suggest, are harder to come by. Some of these cards are used to attack, others are used for defence.
You need a deck to battle which comprises any eight cards you choose. Using these cards requires a resource called elixir. The core loop is quite simple - you get elixirs at a set interval during the game, which you can use to play your cards. You can choose to attack or defend based on your deck of cards. Now that we've gotten the basics out of the way, here are six things you should know, whether you're a seasoned player or a noob who's picking up the game for the first time.
Choose your Clash Royale cards wisely
Your deck is all you have to defend your towers when in battle, so choose your cards wisely. You should also upgrade your cards to improve your chances. Save the deck you are most comfortable playing with. Remember, if you have a heavy deck with an average elixir count of 4.5 or above, then it’ll be helpful to attack in the last 60 secs as the faster elixir production will help. On the other hand, if you have a lighter elixir deck, placement is crucial for your deck to survive.
Know your troops
There are 74 cards in Clash Royale and you cannot just pick anyone to defend or attack. Each card has its strengths and weaknesses and you’ll need to be aware of them as you play. Putting up a skeleton army to stop a Valkyrie is a sure shot way to waste elixir for nothing. Cards have levels which make them stronger against attacks. So pick the right troop for your deck and update it to improve your chances of winning.
Elixir advantage
Cards cost elixir, and it takes time for elixir to generate. It takes 2.8 seconds for elixir to generate during normal play time, and 1.4 seconds during the last 60 seconds. So when your opponent places a card, try to use a low-elixir card to counter it. For example, if your opponent plays the Giant card, it costs them 5 elixirs. If you counter using a Skeleton Army, you end up spending only three elixirs, giving you a two elixir advantage over your opponent. Play your cards wisely and this will help you have a significant advantage over your opponent, making it easier to win the game.
Placement is crucial
In Clash Royale, placement of your cards is crucial. Most might think that placing a troop right in front of the tower is a good idea, but no! You can use the pull strategy by pulling the opponent's troop to the centre so that both your towers can engage. This is great as it helps to eliminate the opponent troop faster without causing much damage to any of your towers. You can also place multiple troops away from the line of action to engage with the enemy troops without suffering damage. The other advantage of placing the troops away from each other is that they will be unaffected by freeze and poison spells.
Distraction is a valid strategy
In Clash Royale, Troops are designed to go for the enemy towers and that’s what they will do. You can either drop your troops right in front of enemies to defend your tower, or drop them a little out of line. This strategy forces the opponent's troop to fight with the newly placed troop, thereby going out of its way to engage. This allows the tower to take a few extra shots at the enemy troop, helping to eliminate it faster. You can also use your remaining troops to launch an effective counter attack right after.
Retargeting powerful enemies
Similar to distraction is retargeting. High elixir troops like Giant, Lava Hound, Ice Golem, and Royal Giant engage only with structures. To distract them, use building cards like a Bomber Tower, Canon, or even a low elixir card like the Tombstone. By placing a structure you’ll pull them towards it saving your tower from a few crucial hits. You can use the same technique for the annoying Hog Rider that is quick to make its way to your tower. So try this technique to stop your opponent and counter them effectively. If an opponent troop has already engaged with your arena tower, you can use Zap or the Electro Wizard to force them to retarget.
