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
