Dark Souls III eGuide (Steam) Weapons, Armor, Magic, and Tools Tools

Typical Consumables

Basic consumable items, these are mostly focused on curing and protecting against enemy status effects, but there are also very useful buffing items to temporarily enhance your performance offensively or defensively. The throwing weapons here are very useful early in the game, and because they scale with your stats, they do improve slightly as your character’s strength grows. For the elemental weapon buffing items, keep in mind that a weapon that already has an element on it (such as a Fire Longsword) cannot have another element applied. This is one benefit to using weapon infusions with no element, as you can apply temporary buffs to grant them more total damage output than a pure elemental weapon.
