Thirsty for them Dark Souls 3 details? It’s your lucky day. Japanese fans who got to play the Dark Souls 3 demo at the recent unveiling shared their impressions of the game, and we’ve got their observations here for your perusal. Here are some of their thoughts:
- It seems to load faster than Bloodborne. Some fans attribute this to being kept too busy by the game to pay attention to how long loading actually was.
- There is no mid roll, only a fast roll. The greater the equip load, the shorter the rolling distance. You can also transition into a fat roll in the middle of your roll.
- Pyromancy “Sacred Fire” (or purification) is like building up fire inside enemy to blow them up.
- The weapon art for Dragonslayer Greatbow is “Piercing Shot”.
- The weapon art for Whip and Notched Whip is “Severe Blow”. This attack gets around shields and reduces time to regenerate stamina.
- The weapon art for Crow Demon’s Curved Greatsword is “Blow From The Dead Angle”.
- Flynn’s Ring has been confirmed.
- Darkdrift has also been confirmed using a weapon art called “Darkdrift”.
- You can reinforce Estus Flask with Estus Shard.
- You can go from having 0 FP Estus to full HP Estus, and vice versa.
- The description of the sorcery “Tear of Cure” includes the name Carim. It is not yet clear what Carim refers to.
- Other confirmed items include the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring, Lloyd Shield, and the Fake Ring.
- Lloyd’s Talisman has been changed to the Undead Hunt Talisman.
- Lastly, weapon durability seems to be low. For example, the Battle Axe has only 80 durability. However, it takes five attacks to an enemy to lose one durability, and resting at a bonfire restores it.
