I played Elden Ring and it quickly became my favorite video game. I still watch lore videos on youtube and it’s been more than a year since I played the game. I played Sekiro later and adored it for both the gameplay and lore. I want to get into darksouls, and I’m pretty lore-oriented. Do I need to start from DS1 or can I jump into DS3? Would love any thoughts. Thanks!
3 is a great starting point. Absolute new players have trouble with the first boss, but you’ll figure it out eventually. Everything after that has variable difficulty, you can always use a cheesier build or farm to overlevel or summon some friends.
