Infinite souls

This exploit can be used with any of the Boss Souls you acquire after defeating a Boss. It can be very difficult to do at first, but once you get the timing down it becomes much easier. First, clear the tool belt of any items. Next, add an empty estus flask to your tool belt slot. Equip a shield that lets you parry (for example, the Knight's starting shield). Then, add a Boss Soul to one of your quick item slots. Make sure there are no other items in your quick item slots. Finally, while holding D-pad Down the entire time, perform a parry (L2), then during the parry (when the shield is parallel to your character's shoulder -- just one frame before he starts to drop it down), very quickly press Square, Options, X. Another method is while holding D-pad Down the entire time, press L2, then quickly press Square(3), Options, X. If done correctly, the equipment box will appear for a split-second and you will get a prompt to use the soul and the HUD (that displays the quick item slots with the Boss Soul in it) in the bottom left corner will have disappeared. If you do not see the equipment box briefly appear and the HUD is still visible, select "No" when prompted to use the soul. Otherwise, you will use the soul and not retain it. If the equipment box did appear briefly during the button sequence and the HUD has disappeared, select "Yes" to use it and get a lot of souls and still have the Boss Soul equipped. Repeat this process as many times as desired. Note: It is recommended to create a cloud or USB backup of your saved game before attempting this exploit. Thus, if you make a mistake you can restore your saved game from the cloud or USB and try again. Additionally, this glitch was performed on patch 1.03 of the game. It may get patched. To avoid not being able to use this exploit, either do not install new patches before using this exploit or delete the patches. You can avoid patches being installed by disconnecting from the internet until you are ready for the game to install new patches.

Infinite Souls (Exploit)

By taking advantage of a special exploit, you can use a Boss Soul and it will remain in your inventory. Thus, you can generate as many as 20,000 souls every seven seconds or so, just by repeatedly consuming the same Boss Soul. The exploit is valid through at least patch 1.03, but will likely be fixed at some point after that. Before you begin, make sure that you save a copy of your file in case something goes wrong. Then, carefully complete the following steps.

Equip a shield that allows you to parry, such as the starting shield for the Knight class

Place a Boss Soul in your first Quick Item slot and equip all items in any other slots.

Place an empty Estus Flask in your first toolbelt slot.

With everything set up as indicated above, hold DOWN on the d-pad and be ready to quickly follow the next step indicated in the process.

While continuing to hold the DOWN button, parry and then quickly enter the following button combination, starting as the shield's position is parallel to your character's shoulder: L2, SQUARE, OPTIONS, X.

You have to time things very specifically, or the process will not work and you'll use up your Boss Soul without the opportunity to exploit it.

If you perform the exploit properly, a confirmation box will appear and your item select option will vanish. You will be able to consume the soul while it remains in your inventory. If you perform the exploit successfully eight times in a minute, that works out to 160,000 souls. If you maintain that rate, it works out to more than 9 million souls per hour.

Irithyll Straight Sword Location

In order to obtain the Irithyll Straight Sword, you must travel to Undead Settlement area. Travel to the tower from where someone is showering Arrows at you from the start. At the entrance of the Tower, you see someone coming up from the elevator who is actually Siegward of Catarina. Use the elevator to head down to the basement and then head towards the room where you will the Frost Knight. Now he is very quick with his attacks so he can kill you in seconds if you aren't guarded. If you try attacking him with fire he will give up really faster rather than normal heavy combat. Once you take him down he will drop Irithyll Straight Sword, so grab it and start using it.

Save Ember for Emergencies

Ember raises your life maximum, and in the process, it restores your life to the higher total. That's always useful, but it's especially useful when you're in a grueling battle with a powerful opponent, such as a boss. Save Ember until those occasions, and put it to use when you need it most. Not only will you gain a max HP boost, but you'll take advantage of some much-needed healing that would otherwise be wasted.

Snuggly the Crow items

Get close to the nest above Firelink Shrine to talk to Snuggly the Crow. He will trade items for specific things that are dropped in her nest with the "Leave" item option in your inventory. Note: You can only do one trade per playthrough, however this resets with each New Game+. Warning: Do not exit the game with an item still resting on the ground before the trade has been completed or you will lose it.

Solaire's Armor

You can unlock armor that looks like the armor Solaire famously wore in the first Dark Souls game by heading to the roof of Firelink Shrine with the proper items in your possession. First, buy the Belltower Key from the Firelink Handmaid, who will require 20,000 souls. Then ascend the tower toward the bridge. From there, you can drop to the roof and find a nest, where a strange voice calls to you. Leave items in the nest and the crow will give you something else in exchange. It's possible to leave several items (only once each) that will award you the pieces of the desired armor. The list below indicates which items you can offer to receive the desired armor pieces.

Homeward Bone - Iron Bracelets.
Lightning Urn - Iron Helm.
Mendicant's Staff - Sunlight Shield.
Seed of a Giant Tree - Iron Leggings.
Siegbrau - Armor of the Sun.

Transposition

Boss Souls can undergo transposition to be transformed into weapons, magic, and other items. They can also be converted to a large amount of souls. Transposition is done through Ludleth of Courland at Firelink Shrine. Before starting you will need the indicated Boss Soul and the Transposing Kiln, which is obtained from Curse-Rotted Greatwood.

Walls Have Secrets

Don't just blindly trust that things are as they appear in Dark Souls III. Often, you can find what appears to be a wall and it's actually only an illusion. Make sure that you check walls in suspicious places by slashing at them with a weapon, particularly near archways. Sometimes, you'll find a hidden path that is well worth exploring.

Dangerous Chests

Not every treasure chest is as helpful as it seems. Sometimes, you'll get near one and find that it is actually a dangerous Mimic. Your best bet is to hack apart any chest you find, so that you can get a head start if it winds up having a life meter. However, another trick is to stand nearby, outside of potential striking range. Watch the chest closely for several seconds. If you see any movement, such as an opening and closing lid, that's your cue to get offensive.
