Introduction to the World of Trolling:
As everyone probably already knows, if you're familiar with the Dark Souls series it's one of the hardest mainstream games out on the market. Although this is a difficult game there are plenty of people that love making the game even harder for other people. Within the video game realm this technique is called trolling and for some reason this fits perfectly with the dark souls motto of "you think this is ridiculous? Wait til' you see what comes next". Trolling is the technique of messing with other individuals by manipulating the rules in order to either trick the individual or mess with them in some sort of way. Although this may seem cruel to plenty of other people around the web and the world, some of the ideas that these people come up with are just ingenious which is why I want to show people how awesome these trolling techniques are.Several Ways of Trolling in Dark Souls 3:
Although this may seem like a simple concept to understand, there are several ways to troll individuals within Dark Souls 3. They mainly revolve around the different ways of interacting with other people's worlds but most of the time there is a little ruse involved with the events.There are several ways of trolling invaders, but the main way to troll a person that invades your world would be to trick that player some way into not being able to find you, using a strange weapon type or by getting a group of your friends together to commit some atrocious group trolls.
Some of the best trolling I have seen so far has been by Iron Pineapple and Achievement Hunter both found on Youtube. I'll show both of the scenarios below here.
- The Iron Pineapple Trolls: #1 Longfinger Kirk Fan Club
If you and your friends would like to try doing this yourselves, here is another video tutorial that shows you where to get Longfinger Kirks armor.
- The Iron Pineapple Trolls: #2 The Shrek Roleplay
This isn't necessarily a troll all it's own, it's mainly just a fun little thing that you and your friends can do if you all have done everything in the game by now. The trick is that you need to get at least two of your friends and have each of you develop a character that that has either the names donkey, shrek, or puss n' boots. Once you have had all of these characters reach the swamp in dark souls 3, you will be able to troll invaders by having you and your friends defend your swamp from the invaders that try to eradicate you and your fairy tale friends from your swamp. Here is a link to the main video if you'd like to see it in action, it's pretty hilarious on it's own.
- The Achievement Hunter Troll: Camouflage Troll
This troll involves retrieving the armor of AI enemies within the game and camouflaging yourself as one of the enemies within the game. This way when a person invades your game you can hide from your invaders in plain sight. This may be a simple way to mess with people and it's more of a time waster than anything but still this is still the nature of trolling, messing with people in any way possible. Here is the video if you'd like to see it in action, I recommend that you do because it's pretty hilarious if I do say so myself.
This is all that I have for now, let me know of anymore awesome trolls that you can do within dark souls and I will add it to the list here so that all of us can become the ultimate trolls within dark souls 3. Praise the sun everyone and peace out!
