Dark Souls 3 Controls Revealed!
Aug. 7, 2015Dark Souls 3 Controls Revealed!
Above is the control layout for Dark Souls 3, as it was presented in Gamescom. The official screen showed an Xbox One/PC controller, so this custom piece is a PS4 approximation for the fans. We do not know if “Pause menu” actually means you could pause as this was disabled, it may simply be options. The touchpad may be used right and left for these menues, but we shall see.
See the Wiki Article onGesturesandWeapon Artsfor more information on those mechanics.
Please note that all control schemes are subject to change by the developer before release, and there may be specific control setup customization via in-game options.
Arts are unique to a weapon held in right hand or both hands. equip a kite round shield or wield two handed to perform arts. Some arts can be followed up with a special attack
Parries are exclusive to small shields in left hand. Follow up with RB for riposte critical
Also for Asian users, Circle and X buttons are generally inverted.
We will be adding more details to theControlspage of the wiki as they become available.
Enjoy!

so they ignore the touchpad? wtf
also, with L2 dedicated to WA, does that mean parrying isn’t a thing anymore? i did hear you could only parry with small shields now, which it seems like nobody in the demo got to use, but i just don’t understand how L2 is WA now…
