Dark Souls: 10 Cheats & Glitches That Broke The Game

10. Cheat Engine

The original, the granddaddy and to this day, the go-to for cheaters and challenge streamers alike. It’s a piece of software for PC that when opened up can more or less edit any value within the game.

This is a very powerful tool and has a lot of uses that could be called “legitimate” - limiting health or stamina to 1 for a challenge run for example, or being used in live speedruns to gift the runner a necessary item if it doesn’t appear as a random drop.

More nefarious uses should be obvious. People would give themselves a stupidly high value for their HP pool or just “fix” it in place so that they can never lose health. Updating your movement speed and zipping around the map at speeds too fast to hit. Snapping your location to directly behind your opponent and backstabbing them through time and space.

Cheat engine is still available and functioning in all three iterations of the game. If you want to create a fun challenge for yourself or anything a little more sinister, you can fire it up to this day. Obviously, do so at your own risk if you choose to do it online.
