Dark Souls 3 How To Use Sharp Gem
Getting Sharp in Dark Souls 3: A Gem of a Guide!
Alright, champion! You've stumbled upon a Sharp Gem in Dark Souls 3. You're probably thinking, "Cool rock, what do I do with it?" Fear not, friend! We're about to turn that ordinary weapon into a DEX-scaling machine!
Finding the Right Blacksmith (He's Not That Grumpy, Really!)
First things first, head on over to Andre. You know, the blacksmith at Firelink Shrine? He looks perpetually annoyed, like he's just remembered he left the oven on.
Talk to him! Navigate the menus until you see "Infuse Weapon." It's probably buried under a pile of other options, because menu navigation is half the battle in Dark Souls.
Must Read
Choosing Your Weapon (Not All Blades Are Created Equal)
Now, a little word of warning, not every weapon can be infused. You want something standard, not already infused with fire, lightning, or some other fancy element. Think of it like trying to add ketchup to ice cream. Just doesn't work, does it?
Pick a weapon that you already enjoy using. Something that feels good in your hands, like a well-worn controller after a marathon gaming session. This is going to be your main squeeze.
Infusing the Weapon (The Moment of Truth!)
Select the Sharp Gem! Andre will give you a confirmation screen. Double-check that you are using the right gem! You wouldn't want to accidentally make your sword bleed if you wanted extra damage.
Hit confirm! Watch as Andre works his magic. With a clank and a spark, your weapon is now Sharp. Congratulations, you just leveled up your weapon game!
Understanding the Sharp Infusion (Numbers, Numbers Everywhere!)
So what does the Sharp Infusion actually do? It boosts the scaling for Dexterity (DEX). Think of it as making your weapon extra sensitive to your fancy finger work.
The higher your Dexterity stat, the more damage your weapon will do. It's like feeding your weapon spinach – it gets stronger the more you feed it DEX!
Things to Consider (A Few Words of Wisdom)
Remember, infusing a weapon will change its stats. You might lose some base damage. That's okay! The improved Dexterity scaling will more than make up for it in the long run.
Experiment! Try different weapons. See what feels best for your playstyle. Dark Souls is all about finding what works for you. Don't be afraid to respec if you don't like it!
Enjoy Your Razor-Sharp Weapon!
You've done it! You've taken a humble weapon and transformed it into a Dexterity-fueled powerhouse. Now go out there and slice through those enemies like a hot knife through butter!
Remember to keep leveling your Dexterity stat! The more you invest, the more your Sharp weapon will reward you. Get ready to dominate!
May the flames guide thee, and may your Sharp weapon never dull!
