Jan. 28, 2016New Dark Souls 3 Screenshots
Wake upDark Souls 3fans! Bandai Namco has released some delectable Dark Souls 3 screenshots for fans to dissect and speculate along with some info on how the game will start and progress to the main world hub.
Players will find themselves revived in theUntended Gravesas an “Unkindled” and will have to face the mightyIudex Gundyras a test to prove their worth before heading intoFirelink Shrine. In the shrine, players will find aFire Keepertending to abonfirewho will serve players on their long and arduous journey. Players will find othercharactersinhabiting the shrine includingHawkwood, an Unkindled and fugitive from Farron’s Undead Legion, along with a peculiar looking man sitting on one of the thrones in the shrine calling himselfLudleth of Courlandand a Lord of Cinder. From Firelink Shrine, players will begin the “dark and brooding fantasy adventure” that is Dark Souls III.
There is a lot to discuss in that short paragraph, with the mention of Firelink Shrine the most eye opening. It’s unknown if this is a brand new instance of the shrine or if it is connected to the iconic location from the originalDark Souls. Regardless, the news is exciting and enticing for Souls fans. As we’ve seen in prior games it seems we will be able to populate Firelink with NPCs such as Hawkwood and Ludleth, and we will once again have a Fire Keeper to stoke our leveling flames. Iudex will continue the tradition of facing a boss right away in order to gain access to the hub zone.
Check out the gallery of all the images:

Emergence
Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
I was wondering the same thing. Maybe pyromancy would be very effective to kill it
Neat :3
Still haven’t seen a screenshots of heavy armor :c
Pyromancy confirmedTime to burn.
Did I just see the Throne Of Want???? It looks like I’ll have fun with the lore.
This is awesome to see some pictures of the intro to the game. One of the things that caught my eye was the boss that is presented in the second and last pictures in the article. Mainly because while it looks like he starts out as a humanoid opponent at first he transforms (?) into a different type of opponent. It’ll be interesting to see when we finally get the game, especially since it looks like it might be Ludex.
It looks like even though they’ve re-used the name the location itself seems to differ in appearance. As it looks like the shrine we’ll be visiting is a little larger in size, which wouldn’t be surprising if we’re to be inviting NPCs to the shrine throughout the game. So chances are, the only thing that’ll be the same about the shrine will be the name itself while the rest will be different from what we saw in Dark Souls.
The pictures are awesome, I bet number 5 is a fire keeper.
I don’t know how i feel about that paragraph at the start, I mean yeah I liked fire link shrine and all but couldn’t they think of something else? They didn’t even change the name.ludex gundyr sounds like the tutorial boss, judging from the name he must be humanoid and not a monster.
Uhhh, that imp king looks interesting. Old Monk 2.0 ?
… wtf is that candle bu kkake maiden???
And the last picture, is that guy a human-dragon hybrid? Neat…
Nice to see artwork of basic clerics/pyros/mages…
