Just wanted to know if the ds3 cinders mod was available on PS4, or if it was just PC. A community dedicated to safely exploring game enhancing mods in Dark Souls. I want to play DS with a friend, but im using a DS4 controller. Since there is no way to change the button prompts besides modding, and knowing that modding is frowned upon in DS3, would I be able to play multiplayer with the button prompt mod on? Navigate to ds4windows.com, download the app, and install. Do the same with the Input Mapper tool here: inputmapper.com/downloads/download/5-tools/63-dulesh. BloodSouls: Judgement of Ash is a mod for Dark Souls 3, created by Papa Appa. Also be sure to check out this project’s Discord. Instructions (In author’s own words): Bloodsouls: Judgement of ash is a Dark souls 3 mod that does it all! Map edits, new areas to explore, new bosse, new animations. Dark Souls III blackbars non-16:9 aspect ratios and has serious problems rendering the HUD on systems with multiple displays and high resolution DPI scaling in Windows 8/10. The mod exists primarily to remove these blackbars and rescale the HUD—it 'unsqueezes' things.

Combat in Dark Souls 3 is a tense, and complicated affair. There are tons of moves, all dependent on what weapons and items you have equipped during the battle. If you’re like most players though, you’ll have a shield on your left hand, ready to block incoming attacks as necessary. Along with this, you can use some shield to parry attacks, deflecting them away and leaving your opponent open to a counter. Pulling this off, and know how it works is a bit complicated though, so here’s our quick guide on how to parry in Dark Souls 3.

First off, you need to have the proper item equipped. This is usually a small shield, or possibly a dagger of some sort. On the equip screen, just three rows from the top, each item will display whether it will let you parry, use your Weapon Arts/Skills, or just have no effect at all. If it says Parry here, then feel free to equip it and get ready.

All you have to do to parry in Dark Souls 3 is to hit the left trigger on Xbox One or L2 for PS4. This should have your character swing their shield through the air in the direction that you are facing. Make sure that you’re always facing the enemy that you want to parry, using the lock on system if you prefer. Now it’s all about the timing.

Parry too early or too late and you’ll probably take a ton of damage before you’re able to recover. You also need to be the right distance, so don’t stand too far back. You want their strike to hit right about where your shield will be during the parry attack. Wait for them to begin their strike and hit the parry button (again, left trigger or L2) right when it should hit you.

If you did all of that right, the attack should miss you entirely, and the enemy will just be standing there open. Hit the attack button to perform a devastating counter attack, dealing tons of damage to them. Just be mindful of what attacks can be parried as well, since some stronger attacks will simply power through your parry. Try to only use it on enemies whose patterns you understand.

My biggest annoyance with Dark Souls 3, as I wrote in our PC Performance Analysis, was the complete lack of proper keyboard on-screen indicators. While the game runs great and is really enjoyable with keyboard+mouse (thanks mainly to the more precise camera movement), it only displays gamepad buttons, thus making menu navigation a nightmare. So I’m happy to report today that a mod is currently under development that will address this issue.

Best Dark Souls 3 Mods

Created by modder ‘kelester’, this mod for Dark Souls 3 changes the icons for the PC version. However, this mod is not complete yet. For example, there are some issues with currency of letters (the game shows Roll as “Q” for example) and some icons have not been changed yet. After all, and as the title, suggests, this is a WIP mod.

Still, this is better than nothing and we are pretty sure that those using keyboard and mouse – instead of a gamepad – will really appreciate this mod. It’s just sad that FromSoftware never officially addressed this issue and we have to rely on mods in order to properly play the game with this specific control scheme.

Dark Souls 3 Ps4 Controller Mod Kit

I seriously hope that FromSoftware’s next title, SEKIDO, will be more friendly to keyboard and mouse players. Because, and as we’ve said countless times, these third-person games can be fully enjoyable with keyboard and mouse. So don’t start saying that they were built for controllers because that’s a really old, clueless and incorrect claim.

Those interested can download the mod from here!
