Dark Souls: 10 Cheats & Glitches That Broke The Game

2. Infinite Stamina

Stamina management is a key part of Dark Souls gameplay. Run out of it and you are unable to run, roll or swing your weapon and most of the time, this means that you’re about to see those dreaded words appear on the screen in blood red.

There were items that could boost your stamina recovery in all three games as well as consumables, but the cheesiest way to maintain stamina was available in Dark Souls 3.

If you had the Ring of Favor worn in one of your ring slots, it would give you an increase to your overall stamina, health and equip load. If you toggled it on and off while sprinting or running, you would end up with infinite stamina. It seems as though this was due to the ring “resetting” the stamina pool.

It then applied the increase to the overall stamina, but topped it off before doing it. While this was useful for travelling, it was pretty much useless in combat and you had to either know your way around perfectly or be fine with looking at the equipment screen for most of your playthrough.
