Huge Dark Souls 3 Patch Arriving This Friday!
John Williamson / 8 years ago
Dark Souls 3 is an extremely punishing game but it’s surprisingly satisfying and rewards a skilful approach. This magical formula has made the series rather endearing, especially in an era where games tend to be on the easy side. Despite Dark Souls 3 being released some time ago, the developer has been working on a huge patch which addresses some irritating bugs and fine-tunes the game’s balance. Here is the changelog which documents the various tweaks:
- Updated multiplayer in the Painted World of Ariandel so that guests can also fight Sir Vilhelm.
- Fixed an issue in the Painted World of Ariandel where Sir Vilhelm would get trapped in the rocks.
- Fixed an issue in the Painted World of Ariandel where Sir Vilhelm would disappear/reappear in certain areas.
- Fixed an issue in the Painted World of Ariandel where the character name is not displayed when locked on to Livid Pyromancer Dunnel.
