History Funny / DarkSoulsIII

* The Reversal Ring, according to its description, allows "males to perform female actions, and vice-versa". Yes, you heard that right. From Soft created a crossdressing ring. Even better, the ring [[VideoGame/DarkSouls1 originally]] belonged to [[RaisedAsTheOppositeGender Gwyndolin]], who is described as a "[[EmoTeen sullen, brooding goddess]]" in the item's description.

* Once you arrive in the [[spoiler:Untended Graves]], it's very likely you will find player messages stating "[[MindScrew This]] [[DarkWorld place]] [[OhNoNotAgain again?!]]" You can ''read'' the exasperation in the text.

* A minor Stance-related one is using the Dancer's Enchanted Swords special move. The Ashen One can pull off her [[ThatOneAttack spinning pirouette move]] until they run out of stamina, at which point they stop spinning and take a moment to wipe their brow. That's right, you can be hauling around the heaviest stuff in the game, but trying some fancy footwork is when the Ashen One gets tired.

* This may sound like a [[NightmareFetishist weird example]] to some, but in Irithyll Dungeon there are [[spoiler: corpses with items that [[JumpScare will scream a horrifying shriek]] when you grab it.]] The funny part is that [[spoiler: [[AntiClimax they do nothing]]. As in, their scream do not attract enemies, nor cause damage or even a debuff]]. You could argue that they were put in for ambiance, but by the [[spoiler: [[TrollingCreator fourth time this happens]]]], most people will be usually screaming "Are you serious?!"

* Making various gestures in front of the Firekeeper is either this or heartwarming. She will dance for you if you start clapping and if you pretend to slump in front of her, she turns her head away as if she's giggling.

* In this game, some enemies, if hit by another enemy's attack, will get angry and attack the other enemy. Turns out that among these: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fyOIQtEpmE mimics do not like fire demons.]] Seeing a skinny, tongue-lolling, giggling ''mimic'' of all things beat down a mini-boss is just hilarious.

* Speaking of Patches, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKvhdRqhXSg this time you can mimic him with the right look and equipment,]] [[{{Troll}} and the right spot...]]

-->''The wearer of this fine attire was admired by friends and enemies alike, [[DirtyCoward for his skills were unmatched]], [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder and his heart was true as gold]]. As its new owner, you have quite the shoes to fill.''

* Item descriptions are almost always written from an objective, accurate perspective. The [[spoiler:Black Leather]] set, which is worn and sold by [[spoiler:Patches]], is [[BlatantLies a clear exception]].

* The very first bonfire of the Profaned Capital is in a ruined tower, with the floor of it being covered in ladders. Right next to the bonfire lies the body of [[VideoGame/DarkSoulsII Laddersmith Gilligan]], who gives you a "lying on the floor dead" gesture when you interact with him. It almost looks like he escaped from the Ithyll Dungeons just to die from falling.

* Nearly all the equipment used by characters from previous games is referred to by some cool title instead of the name of the person they belonged to. The main exception is [[FatBastard Smough's set]], which is named after, well, Smough. You'd think it'd be be named the "Royal Executioner's Set" or something, which sounds far more cooler and dignified. It just comes off as a well-deserved StealthInsult.

* The description of the [[http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Simple+Gem Simple Gem]] (used to grant RegeneratingMana through weapon enchantment) is dripping with EasyModeMockery. From Software ''[[DevelopersForesight knew]]'' this mechanic was going to be [[ComplacentGamingSyndrom abused by certain players]], just like it was in DemonsSouls with the Crescent Falchion +1:

* Seeing the Ashes of the Lords of Cinder is meant to be a solemn reminder of how far you've come in the game thus far... except for the Abyss Watcher's Cinders, which manifests in game as four skulls wearing their [[NiceHat metal cone head caps]]. It seems so out of place with the tone of the game as to be absurd.

* So you're running at top speed through a swamp strewn with discarded weapons, under fire from a giant archer in a nearby tower. You duck into cover and eventually come across an elevator to reach the top of said tower. Except for some reason [[FunnyBackgroundEvent it's leaving without you]]. There's ''[[{{Beat}} just]]'' enough time for you to figure out what's going on (or [[TrollingCreator curse out the developers]]) before another elevator pops up from below you, carrying none other than [[spoiler: this year's Onion Knight model, [[PluckyComicRelief Siegward]]]]. One can imagine the Ashen One's response to be some variation of "oh, that explains everything."

-->''While in stance, use normal attack to break a foe's guard from below, and strong attack to slash upwards with a forward lunge. Only, neither move will appear very impressive with a broken sword.''

-->A gem of infused titanite, said to be an object of infatuation for victims of stunted development. Used in infusion to create simple weapons. Simple weapons inflict magic damage and restore FP very gradually, to help even a simpleton muster some mettle.
