'Dark Souls 3' Tips: Gameplay, Challenges and Everything You Need To Know

Players are becoming frustrated with their performance in the action role-playing game "Dark Souls 3." Many have expressed disappointment with the level of difficulty of the challenges.

The Financial Post said players are making little progress when playing the game saying that their time and effort seem wasted because of "Dark Soul 3's" pace. "Over the course of several nights of play that sense of frustration—and of wasted time —would grow until eventually I stopped playing and never resumed," said video game reporter Chad Sapieha in his Financial Post report.

He, however, noted that a gamer's perseverance to move on to other stages of the game would play a key role in the completion of this latest offering. Sapieha said gamers will surely "get hooked" to "Dark Souls 3" if they follow these tips:

Allot time for play sessions

The reporter advised players through his Financial Post write-up that they should set aside two to three hours to play the game. He explained that an hour-long session or lesser will not be enough for a player to attain progress. Sapieha said that longer sessions will result in stronger characters and more accomplishments for the player.

2. Make use of bows and arrows
