Murky Madness Dark Mage Build - (Darks Souls 3) - demonssoulsremake

Build Overview

Magic spells are not the only type available to Intelligence builds, as the mighty dark spells proliferate the game and offer an alternative to the regular spellcasting tactics.Youtuber Games 4 Days assembled this dark sorcery-oriented build in 2017 that works well with the powerful and intimidating Crucifix of the Mad King.

PVP Tips

Players should use similar tactics for this dark DS3 mage build as they would for the Battlemage build, in that both should use spells for short and mid-range that complement the heavy weapon in their main hand. The unpredictability of the Crucifix of the Mad King can be a boon at times by keeping the enemy on their toes and under constant stress, however, not being able to reliably call upon one of its three possible skills can cause one to take unnecessary risks, which foes can use against a player.

PVE Tips

Since there is less pressure in PvE DS3 gameplay, gamers can fool around with the Mad's King Folly weapon skill a bit more. This can make one's next playthrough into a bit of a challenge run if they go through New Game+ or beyond while primarily only using the Crucifix of the Mad King as their weapon.
