Dark Souls III is one of the best games of the year and is an impressive showcase for one of the finest video games ever. Let’s talk about How To Dash in Dark Souls 3, but before that let’s know the game.
If you’re concerned about buying a game because you don’t know what happened in Dark Souls and Dark Souls II, don’t worry—the plot is so complicated that absolutely no one knows what happened in those games. They’re tangentially linked, but the big takeaway is that you’re an interloper in a weird universe where pretty much everyone wants to kill you.
If you’re concerned about buying a game because you’ve learned it’s too rough, I’d ask you to rethink your decision. Dark Souls III is a positive thing, just not because it’s rude. Hundreds of deaths that you will face are not masochistic torture. They are part of the scientific method, making you improve from doing so before you have the evidence to make your opponents stronger.
But if you—whether you’re a Dark Souls old hand or a set of newbies—do plan to pick it up, we may be able to help you hurry up on your way. Here are the essential points to hold in mind about Dark Souls games; tips that will help the first few hours of Dark Souls III run smoothly, and some of the things made from Software’s Dungeon-crawling RPG fun, exclusive, and oh so rare.
WATCH YOUR CORNERS
Play Dark Souls III as you learn to drive. Look to the left. Oh, look right. Look to the left again. Only then would you be able to reach a new space, and even then, you can prepare to be lowered from above by one of the game’s crooked assassins dislodging from their spot on the ceiling to plant a knife in your back.
Fight to Your Weapon
You can’t tell where you’re going to fight, so if you’re patient, you can usually dictate where you’re going to fight. Luring single enemies away from their peers is the secret to getting through some of the more challenging parts of Dark Souls III, but you can also try pulling them to where you can better use your weapon. E.g., if you’re using the Greatsword, you’ll want to avoid narrow passages, or else your horizontal slash attacks will interfere harmlessly from the wall. On the other side, if you’re using a bow, a narrow corridor gives you a fair chance of reaching your target effectively without going to safety.

Above is the control layout for Dark Souls 3, as shown in Gamescom. The official screen led the Xbox One/PC controller, but this custom item is a PS4 approximation to the fans. We don’t know if the “Pause menu” really means you should pause because it was disabled. It could only be options. For further detail on these mechanics, see the Wiki Article on Movements and Arm Arts.
- L2 is “Arts/Parry.” You’ve got two positions with your shield, aggressive and defensive. Selecting an offensive will cause you to use battle art rather than parry. From the loading screen:
- Arts are unique to a weapon held in the right hand or both hands. Equip a round kite shield or wield two-handed to performing arts. Some skills can be followed up with a special attack.
- On the left side, Parries were exclusive to small shields. Follow up with RB for critical response.
