Dark Souls III

Weighted Options

Weighted options allow you to choose how likely a particular option's value is to be used in game generation. The higher a value is weighted, the more likely the option will be chosen. Think of them like entries in a raffle.

Choose the options you would like to play with! You may generate a single-player game from this page, or download an options file you can use to participate in a MultiWorld.

A list of all games you have generated can be found on the User Content page.

Simple Early Bosses

Avoid replacing Iudex Gundyr and Vordt with late bosses. This excludes all bosses after Dancer of the Boreal Valley from these two boss fights. Disable it for a chance at a much harder early game. This is ignored unless enemies are randomized.

Scale Enemies

Scale randomized enemy stats to match the areas in which they appear. Disabling this will tend to make the early game much more difficult and the late game much easier. This is ignored unless enemies are randomized.

Randomize Mimics With Enemies

Reduce Harmless Enemies

Excluded Locations Behavior

How to choose items for excluded locations in DS3. - **Allow Useful:** Excluded locations can't have progression items, but they can have useful items. - **Forbid Useful:** Neither progression items nor useful items can be placed in excluded locations. - **Do Not Randomize:** Excluded locations always contain the same item as in vanilla Dark Souls III. A "progression item" is anything that's required to unlock another location in some game. A "useful item" is something each game defines individually, usually items that are quite desirable but not strictly necessary.
