'Dark Souls 3' update: Regulation version 1.09 arrives, bringing changes to several weapons
Publisher Bandai Namco announced a few days ago that "Dark Souls 3" will be updated to 1.09. This version would bring in several tweaks to several weapons and items in the game.
For those who have not noticed yet, the Dark Sword is not that powerful anymore. It has now a slightly lower effectiveness compared to how it was before the roll-out of the current version. Additionally, there are several other items that lost some of their powers, but there are numerous that gained some.
A few of the changes are:
- All Dagger weapons: increased critical attack power
- Dark Sword: reduced weapon efficiency
- Anri's Straight Sword: reduced scaling effects
- Wolnir's Holy Sword: added faith scaling and adjusted weapon efficiency accordingly
- Crescent Moon Sword: added intelligence scaling and adjusted weapon efficiency accordingly
- Morne's Great Hammer: added faith scaling and adjusted weapon efficiency accordingly
- Lothric's Holy Sword: added faith scaling and adjusted weapon efficiency accordingly
- Yorshka's Spear: increased FP damage effects
- Scholar's Candlestick: reduced sorcery-strengthening properties
- Demon's Fist: reduced weight
- Greatsword of Judgement: increased attack power
- Heysel's Pick: increased intelligence scaling
- All shield-piercing weapons: added shield-piercing properties to regular attacks
- All Skills that enchant a weapon with special properties: extended length of effect
- Obscuring Ring: increased distance at which ring takes effect
- Hornet Ring: adjusted efficiency
- Black Serpent: adjusted tracking
The notes also mentioned that no patch needs to be installed, nor is there a need for the server to be taken down. Gamers will have the latest version as they play along.
Meanwhile, the "Dark Souls 3" community was shaken when a pro gamer named FaraazKhan finished the game without getting hit. This is not the first time that a player performed this kind of stunt. Someone also did this last February. However, the latest one brought the level up a notch by not using any shields, bows, magic, or glitches, but he did skip some boss fights and ran away from many of the opponents. The whole affair lasted 2 hours and 19 minutes, Polygon reported.
"Dark Souls 3" is currently available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC.
