    Dark Souls III FAQ

    Frequently asked questions about Dark Souls III.

    What is Dark Souls III?

    Dark Souls III is an action RPG and the final chapter of the Dark Souls trilogy, set in the decaying kingdom of Lothric where the Lords of Cinder have abandoned their thrones.

    Do I need to play DS1 and DS2 first?

    While the trilogy shares connected lore, each game stands alone. DS3 has many callbacks that fans will appreciate, but new players won't be lost.

    What is the best starting class for DS3?

    The Knight is the best starting class for beginners due to high starting HP, a 100% physical block shield, and armor that carries well into the mid-game.
