Fancy a trip to the Yorshka bonfire? Use the shortcut in the Cathedral of the Deep. There also new shortcuts between different locations, allowing you to go from the High Wall of Lothric straight to Archdragon Peak to challenge The Nameless King right off the bat. The bonfire near Vordt of the Boreal Valley has been removed and instead, there’s one near Emma’s location, making it easier to challenge the Dancer of Boreal Valley multiple times (especially if you decide to do so in the early going). The “Tower on the Wall” bonfire has been replaced with a Boreal Outrider Knight, which can provide a rather unpleasant surprise if you’re busy running from foes (but drops a Pontiff’s Left Eye ring, perfect for recovering HP by battering foes with multiple hits). Cinders also changes up the location of some bonfires. The bonfire now lets you travel to the Undead Settlement along with the High Wall of Lothric. Venture into Firelink Shrine and speak to the Firekeeper as normal. "There also new shortcuts between different locations, allowing you to go from the High Wall of Lothric straight to Archdragon Peak to challenge The Nameless King right off the bat." It’s a toss-up but should definitely serve to shock some veteran players. Also, he may or may not completely beat you down with a new, annoying Curse mechanic. You don’t have to fight Gundyr this time, though if you venture down to the Cemetery challenge him, he’ll already be in Corrupted Gundyr form. Yes, the Sword Master with the Uchigatana is no longer there (but that’s fine since it’s not difficult to find the katana). You instead begin your journey on the left-most bell tower of Firelink Shrine. Once your Class and Burial Gift – which has also been expanded to include various Gems for Weapons Infusion, an Estus Shard, Coiled Sword Fragment, various Rings, a Master Key and more – has been selected, it’s off to the Cemetery of Ash. You can even play as the Skeptic aka the annoying, masked clerics in the Undead Settlement that inflict bleed and laugh creepily (creepy laugh sadly not included). Heck, become a peasant who previously lived in the Undead Settlement and is now a Great Scythe-wielding Champion of Ash. Or a Paladin with a Greatsword, Heal Aid and corresponding armor. Maybe you want to start with a Samurai build and get those parries in from the beginning. How about a Sentinel with the Fallen Knight set and massive Zweihander to pummel foes? You’ve got it. Want to start out as a Wayfarer, like Alva, and spin to win against foes? Go for it. The range of options has been heavily expanded. Everything is pretty much as you remembered it but look at the Classes tab. So let’s start with the character select screen. While the mod can be safely removed and older saves accessed again, make a backup just in case. Second, Cinders modifies key parameters of the base game, to the extent that older save files become incompatible. In essence, it makes Dark Souls 3 even more addictive, if that’s what you wanted (or didn’t know you needed, which rest assured, you do).īefore installing Cinders, be aware of two things: First, you must play offline since the game’s anti-cheat bans players for even the slightest of mods. It offers more build diversity and easier ways to achieve certain builds from the outset. It offers a lot more freedom to play how you want, for as long as you want. The long version is that Cinders makes Dark Souls 3 a much more refined, enjoyable experience. "In essence, it makes Dark Souls 3 even more addictive, if that’s what you wanted (or didn’t know you needed, which rest assured, you do)." It also adds heaps of new content, from hundreds of new weapons, rings and armor pieces to new Sorceries, Pyromancies and Miracles. Now they have Cinders.īy now, you’ve probably heard of Cinders but what exactly is it? What does it change? Why is it being received so well and why should you go out of your way to play it (at least, on PC)? Cinders is essentially an overhaul mod, one that makes sweeping changes to the mechanics, progression, abilities, weapon balance – everything you could think of, right down to New Game Plus. However, Souls fans now have something else to keep them busy before the arrival of Elden Ring. Granted, mods have helped in that respect and titles like Dark Souls Remastered have their own awesome overhauls, whether it’s Daughters of Ash or the recent rogue-lite mod. It’s crazy to think that even with the studio releasing a brand new title in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice that the tale of the Lords of Cinder could still see such devotion. FromSoftware’s Dark Souls 3 launched more than four years ago.
