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.

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.
Also, the animation changes on Astora GS are great. Always loved that weapon and now its even more unique and fancy.
In regard to Astora GS, it has smaller just-frame windows because of an oversight. Normally it was designed to be a greatsword instead of an ultra greatsword. Because of this, it has a smaller just frame window. However, this is being addressed and buffed for the next patch thanks to your report. Also, next patch, an icon will show up indicating when to press R1 to learn all the just-frame timings.
As a reminder and for anyone else potentially lurking, this video explains how just-frames exactly work:
While I still have your attention, I'd like to sneak in another gameplay-related question. I noticed that it is now possible to combo shield strikes with one-handed attacks. I certainly appreciate the offensive capabilities of that feature, but is there a way to reliably(easily) block after performing attacks, or is it also about the timing?
You can either constantly hold L1 or you can time and hold L1 before the combo cancel windows starts to prevent this.
Lastly, you can also use shields that don't have the shield strike mechanic.
However, if you have any feedback on the bosses, I would really appreciate hearing it. Balance is extremely important for this mod. Not just for PvP, but also for PvE. For example, hitboxes and unreactable attacks have mostly been normalized, so it feels less bullshit compared to vanilla. (Oceiros tackle being a prime example).
To revert a particular boss back to vanilla, you need to delete their character model in the chr folder.
For example, if you want to revert Oceiros back to vanilla you'd delete all c2090 files in \AshesLauncher\Ashes\_ashes\chr.
You can find a list of all character IDs here: http://soulsmodding.wikidot.com/reference:ds3-character-model-ids
How, generally, would I make such changes? gameparam editor of some form? thanks for anyone who helps.
Convergence does this best, overall, IMO. What do I have to modify to add this magic affect to any character?
Balance is extremely important for this mod. Not just for PvP, but also for PvE.
With that said, we often try to make the mod accessible but challenging enough for all players. We are very receptive to feedback in terms of difficulty and try to adjust enemies and bosses accordingly.
Pure White Tendency was designed for players who, despite the balance changes, still seem to get stuck in a particular area or against a particular boss. It was not designed to do a full play through with it, which is why there's a big soul gain penalty on it. However, you can still offset this by using many of the challenge coins that significantly increase soul gain.
If you want to make changes to soul gains, you need a gameparam editor.
The way it works in Ashes, is that the effectiveness of how much you regenerate with FP is based on your attunement stat. This means, the more FP you have, the more FP you'll regenerate. You can definitely increase attunement to the point you'll never have to use Ashen Estus again during combat. Dusk Crown Ring (for casters) has also been significantly buffed. It reduces spell casting cost and increases spell casting speed.
We've added significantly more tools that can stack to regenerate your FP with:
- All pyromancy flames significantly regen FP per hit (based on max FP)
- All staves significantly regen FP per hit (based on max FP)
- Archmage's mark = FP regen by -5% FP per 20 second and increases spellcasting speed, max Stamina by 11.5% and Equip Load by 8%.
- Young Dragon Ring = FP regen by -5% FP per 10 second and increases spellcasting speed
- Simple infusion = FP regen by -5% FP per 20
- Blood Bullet Weapon Art = significantly regenerate FP at the cost of HP
- Aldrich Rings
- Handmaid dagger
- ...
If you have additional ideas or suggestions for FP regen you want to share, you can post them in #feedback-and-suggestions, so the whole community can chime in and vote on it. Official Ashes Discord server
This is not a bug, but rather a balance decision. Shieldpokes start up extremely fast, can be used on reaction, and often wins trades thanks to counter damage. If it always used the guard stats of the shield, it would be way too strong.
However, A good way to overrule this is by casting the magic shield buff (which is why this buff exists).
We also introduced more weapon classes that can shieldpoke with unique animations, like halberds that can thrust.
There are also more dedicated weapons designed around shieldpoking that have better absorption and stability, but lack in other areas.
edit: should have specified its the bonfire after the high wall of lothric, after the dragon,
edit2: got one of the bonfires to work, its hit or miss.
Tell your friend to join our discord so we can figure out what installation method he used (legacy or launcher) and where exactly the installation went wrong. Normally the launcher does this for you, but not properly replacing the DarkSouls3.exe to an old version can also cause issues.

It's also the first I read about cathedral of the deep producing these kinds of errors.
