Dark Souls 12x18" Unframed Canvas Wall Print
A place to count up those Souls and Runes
The bonfire, much like the one in this painting, is a welcome respite for a Dark Souls player. It’s where they can be free from danger, level up their character, or just take a small break from impending doom for a few minutes. There are many sizes available, ranging from 12x18 inch to 24x36 inch, and if this painting isn’t perfect, there are many to choose from.
Let’s face it: the gameplay of a Souls game is a simple experience. You play, die, get frustrated and become determined, die some more, and frustration levels increase until you rage quit, as many of these bosses would make you. Aside from this therapeutic gameplay loop, the artwork and level design in-game are amazing.
So, why not get the FromSoftware fan in your life a piece of Dark Souls art that reflects that beauty? The art style of Dark Souls is definitely something they appreciate when they’re not about to hurl their controller across the room.
Firelink Dark Souls Series 3 Blind Box Collectible Figurine
He’s prepared to die
If there’s one thing that Souls games are known for, it’s their character design. More specifically, how originally unique each monster is. Some of them truly are the stuff of nightmares. But more than that, every character in the game is designed very creatively, much like this collectible toy figure, which is available as one piece, three pieces, or the whole set.
Many people collecttoy figures from their favorite games, movies, or anime. If your friend wants to start a collection, or you just want to get them something unique, this is a great option. There are many available. Are they proud of defeating a really powerful boss that took hours to beat? Get them a collectible figure to commemorate the moment.
Elden Ring Official Strategy Guide Vol. 1: The Lands Between
Read up, Tarnished
Every FromSoftware game is difficult, there’s no argument about that. For many gamers, finishing a FromSoftware game is a rite of passage. Then along came Elden Ring. An open-world Dark Souls game with bosses that can beat you in one hit. This is where a strategy guide comes in handy, such as this one: everything you need to know to travel The Lands Between.
There are a total of 238 bosses inElden Ring, about 78 different types of humanoid enemies, roughly 50 wildlife enemies, and more. The Lands Between is not a safe place, and pretty much everything that looks at you wants you dead. A strategy guide (or ourElden Ring complete guide and walkthrough) for a FromSoftware fan to help beat their latest entry is a saving Grace and will definitely be appreciated.
Dark Souls: The Board Game - The Sunless City
Be it in the video game or the board game, dying is inevitable
Strategy is at the heart of a Dark Souls game. You can’t just run in like it’s Diablo and expect the mindless hack-and-slash approach to get you to the final boss. Enter a Dark Souls board game, giving your friend the chance to relive their brutal gaming moments on a tabletop. And if this board game doesn’t seem applicable, there are plenty out there to choose from!
This board game comes with 250 cards, 27 miniature replicas of mini-bosses, enemies, and main bosses found within the Dark Souls game, and a lot more. Some gifts are better experienced with friends, and this is one of them. Join your friend and play as one of the iconic classes and prepare for an evening of exhilarating combat (and possibly Dark Souls-like frustration).
Official Dark Souls Bonfire Lit T-Shirt
You’ll get nods of recognition everywhere you go
Every fan of anything loves to display their love for their favorite game, anime, character, etc. So, for the FromSoftware fan in your life, getting them a Dark Souls t-shirt like this one is never a bad idea. The great thing about this tee is that only true fans of the gaming series will know what it means when a bonfire is lit.
“Bonfire Lit” is a phrase every FromSoftware fan is familiar with and one that fills them with a speck of peace in a grim world. This officially licensed t-shirt comes in a variety of sizes and colors. There are, of course, a lot of clothing options available, so if this isn’t the one, you’re sure to find something!
Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree, Vol. 1
Death is a funny thing
The amount of merch available for games by FromSoftware is astounding. You probably didn’t think there were comics, did you? Well, there are, like this humorous take on an Elden Ring adventure, filled with tension, the inner thoughts of a Tarnished (which is great because they don’t talk much), and all the action you’d expect from a FromSoftware game.
No one said Elden Ring couldn’t be funny, especially when you remove the frustration from the experience. If your friend has played the Elden Ring, they might love a different perspective, like that of Aseo the Tarnished, who is on a seemingly impossible quest to become the next Elden Lord. Will he make it?
