Combat in Dark Souls requires careful use of stamina and resources as players navigate hostile environments and fight enemies and bosses. Players create a customizable character, the Chosen Undead, whose curse brings them back after death.
The journey begins with an escape from the Northern Undead Asylum and leads across the declining kingdom of Lordran. Item descriptions, environmental details, and dialogue reveal its history and the mysteries surrounding its curse. Multiplayer interactions allow players to leave messages for others, summon allies for cooperative play, or invade another player’s world to fight them.
