How can I get all the new content quickly?
If you'd like to access all the equipment quickly, you can use an in-game Cheat Code at the Firelink Handmaid by performing the "Point Forward > Point Down > Bow" gestures in front of her.
In order to gain souls to level up or buy these items, perform the previous gestures and then "Look Skyward".
We also have a useful CE table you can check out on our Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/Kqtwa5w
Why does my FPS dip or why is the lightning different?
Ashes experiments with changing the visuals in all areas. You can disable and change this if you're uncomfortable with it or if it causes bugs.
To do this go to \AshesLauncher\Ashes\GraphicPresets and click on Enable Vanilla.cmd.
- Fidelity is for highest quality and needs to have shadows enabled in-game.
- Performance is the same as fidelity but prioritizes performance and FPS
- Vanilla is the lowest setting and focuses on vanilla lightning.
Why does the launcher sometimes not work for updates?
There's the legacy support of an update and a launcher support.
The legacy support version does NOT work with the launcher, you simply unpack the files and launch the game according the _readme instructions.
This version is much smaller in filesize because it doesn't come with a .git folder.
The launcher support version does work with the launcher.
This version will automatically update when accompanied with the launcher if new versions are available.
You need to download this version to also get rid of the zlib error you might get with the launcher.

Thank you for all the support for Ashes so far!

Ashes is compatible with some mods that do not affect gameplay, such as Reshade and Wex Dust.
It is NOT compatible with mods that do affect gameplay, including Cinders, Watchdog, and others.
However, fps unlock causes bugs and glitches for any dark souls 3 version, even vanilla.
One of the common ones is that your character will often sprint significantly slower when bumping into walls or enemies.
I'm currently in love with this mod, but I'm finding it a bit difficult to navigate the map in some really dark areas.
We also allowed more weapons to produce light and work as a torch.
The torch itself was also significantly buffed to work as a proper offhand and shield.
Also, I was trying to join the discord server but I'm having some problems with the invitation.
Anyway, thanks for the awesome mod. Definitely the best I've ever played.

If it's highly voted on, I'll see what I can do.
Since Fire Arrows were turned into Chaos Arrows, they now hit hard and leave behind chaotic lava. If they still behaved like the vanilla version, they’d be completely overpowered.
Right now, Feather Arrows are meant for long-range sniping, while Chaos Arrows are all about high damage in close-to-mid-range fights.
Unlike vanilla, we made it so killing the deacons gives souls and even refills your estus flasks.
- The Deacons of the Deep boss itself hasn’t been buffed in terms of health or absorption, and it does not heal back to full health.
- The deacon minions are actually weaker overall, not stronger:
- Fat Deacons: HP reduced from 381 → 200, now have a 38% chance to drop Estus/Ashen flasks and give 25 souls.
- Tall Deacons (4 total): HP increased from 285 → 350, but now drop Estus (38%) and 25 souls.
- Small Deacons: HP reduced from 183 → 120, with a 5% chance to drop Estus and 25 souls.
- We also added a QoL improvement where killing deacons restores Estus, making the fight more forgiving than in vanilla.
- Based on player data from our last patch (Sep 29, 2024), 219 players died to this boss while 412 beat it. That’s a K/D ratio of 0.5, meaning most people clear it on the first or second try.
- Players are tankier in this mod thanks to better Vigor/Vitality scaling, new defensive rings, more healing items, and body buffs.
Balance is extremely important to us, and we take feedback seriously. We gather data from our testers, community feedback, and even public polls in our Discord, where players themselves vote on what needs to be added, changed, or adjusted. We also avoid making major changes to enemy defensive values since that would have a big impact on weapons with split elemental damage.If your Zweihander +9 isn’t dealing damage, that’s not intended—maybe there’s a resistance issue or something else going on. If you can share a clip or some details on your setup, I’d be happy to have a look!
With heavy armor alone (without rings), you should be able to easily tank 4 or more hits from hollows, as you can see in the following gif.
For balance reasons, this feature does not work as effectively against PvP or player characters, though.
