Now, how do you actually use the Weapon Arts? With a weapon equipped and set to two hand mode (press Y or Triangle) you can press the left trigger or L2 on PS4. Luckily, they do still work if your FP meter is empty, but they will drain a ton of your stamina, and will usually go slower and deal less damage. This gauge does not automatically refill, so if you want to use your Weapon Arts a lot, or need to cast some spells, you either need blue Estus Flasks, or you’ll need to cut back until the next bonfire. So, here’s our guide on how to use Weapon Arts in Dark Souls 3.įirst off, Weapon Arts moves use up FP, which is essentially your magic meter for most concerns. They deal a ton of extra damage, but they also have a few drawbacks to keep in mind. Essentially these are special moves that are determined by the weapon you have equipped. One of these are the Weapon Arts, or Weapon Skills, that many weapons have. Still, the developers decided to pop a few new things in there for players to mess around with and explore. The Dark Souls series was already pretty jam packed with content and mechanics before Dark Souls 3 launched.
