The Naked Maniac
Anyone can survive a battle when covered in leather, protected by steel, or wielding a powerful starting weapon. Okay, well maybe not anyone. As we’ve stated before, Dark Souls III is incredibly difficult. But there are those who feel the difficult needs a little extra oomph. Why provide those starting out as fresh Unkindled with anything to help them on their journey? Why not give them nothing but the skin on their backs and a club?
If you’ve had the same questions, playing naked is probably your true calling. This means starting with the Deprived class and no gifts. It’s just you and your wits, While the obvious advantage is a completely clean slate, allowing you to plan out whatever character type you want for your playthrough, there is another perk. You can brag to all of the unwashed masses about how you overcame one of the world’s toughest games with nothing more than the skin on your back.
Considering that most players struggle on the first boss with a full set of armor, that’s most certainly a bragging right to be proud of.
