Raw infusion removes attribute scaling on a weapon (the bonus damage you get from your Strength or Dex stat) in favor of, well, raw damage. There is a guaranteed drop of a Raw Gem early on by a Crystal Lizard (on the same roof with the worshiping Hollows), but there is also a decent chance to get one from a random Hollow in the area.
Or go Raw – If you don’t want to go with a fire weapon, consider a Raw upgrade instead. With the Fire Gem, the blacksmith in the Firelink Shrine can immediately craft a fire-infused weapon that basically doubles your damage right then and there. I figured it was another consumable like Pine Resin. Select the Fire Gem as your burial gift – My eyes just glazed right over this option on my first playthrough. However, good gear is available within the first thirty minutes of the game if you know where to look. Not to mention it felt like it took eight or nine chops from that stubby little hand axe to take down basic enemies. As a Pyromancer, the free fireball was nice - the tissue paper shield and flimsy armor were not. (Obviously, there will be some very minor location and enemy spoilers below.)Ī big problem I had early on is that my gear seemed pathetically outclassed right out of the gate. If you’re having trouble getting started, I have a few tips that can steer you in the right direction. My problem was just rushing in and assuming my familiarity with the series would carry me through without looking at the changes in Dark Souls III and the new options available. As always with the Souls games, stepping back, adjusting your strategy, and picking up a few key items can dramatically improve your odds so long as you’re willing to keep an open mind. It took me more tries than I’d care to admit to beat the tutorial boss (uh oh), I had trouble dealing with some of the early undead gangs (eek), and the first Lothric Knight put me in the dirt enough times that I was sure I was going the wrong way and was supposed to come back to him later (shameful!)Īfter hearing how Dark Souls III is supposedly the most accessible Souls game to date, dying so often in the first few hours was a pretty sharp kick to the ego. Maybe I was just rusty, but my first few hours with the game were brutal. Call me bad, but I actually found Dark Souls III a little harder than Dark Souls II and Bloodborne at first blush.
