If you'd like a starting class that's able to switch between melee and spells a bit more, check out the pyromancer. This build starts with the rather powerful early game spell Soul Arrow, which also has a handy 30 charges. If you prefer bows, you can go with the hunter, but for magic I suggest the sorcerer. Fighting from a distance gives you that tiny bit more time to react, which may be just enough of an edge to help out someone new to the game. Melee combat is incredibly fun, but it also tends to be much more challenging, since you're required to be up close and a single mistake will allow an enemy to drain your health fast. That said, my recommendation for Dark Souls newcomers is to focus on a ranged class. If you begin as a sorcerer but realize you'd like to get holy, you can start upping your faith whenever you see fit. If you start as a melee-focused class but decide you'd like to take up magic at some point, you can begin putting stat points into intelligence. Note that your character class determines what stats and equipment you start out with, but it's not something you'll be locked into for the full game.
You're immediately given the choice between 10 character classes. One of the best parts of Dark Souls is that character building remains incredibly flexible throughout the game, no matter where you start, but you might as well as kick things off strong to make it easier on you. If you don't want any of that stuff ruined for you, maybe skip that portion of this post until you've sunk some time into the game blind.Īs soon as you begin the game, you'll be thrown into a character-creation screen. However, even Demon's Souls experts might be able to learn a thing or two given how From has mixed up the formula this time around.Īlso, I won't be going into any major spoilers, but I do have some location and boss names leading up to around the halfway point of the game on the final two pages. In particular, I'm trying to aim this guide toward players who are curious to try Dark Souls but didn't play Demon's Souls, the previous super-challenging action-RPG by From Software. But it's not impossible – far from it! – and there are actually many steps you can take to prepare yourself.
It will punish you every time you give it the chance. If you've read my Dark Souls review, you know that I think this sadistic game is the hardest title I've ever played.
