Dark Souls 3 Randomizer Setup Guide

Required Software

• Dark Souls 3
• Dark Souls 3 AP Client

General Concept

The Dark Souls 3 AP Client is a dinput8.dll triggered when launching Dark Souls 3. This .dll file will launch a command prompt where you can read information about your run and write any command to interact with the Archipelago server. The randomization is performed by the AP.json file, an output file generated by the Archipelago server.

Installation Procedures

This client has only been tested with the Official Steam version of the game (v1.15/1.35) not matter which DLCs are installed

Follow the installation directions at the Dark Souls 3 AP Client page where you can find the dinput8.dll file. Basically, you just need to add those two files at the root folder of your game "SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\DARK SOULS III\Game" :

• dinput8.dll
• AP.json renamed from the generated file AP-{SEED}-{PLAYER_NUMBER}-{PLAYER_NAME}.json

Joining a MultiWorld Game

1. Run DarkSoulsIII.exe or run the game through Steam
2. Type in /connect [server ip]
3. Once connected, create a new game, choose a class and wait for the others before starting
4. You can quit and launch at anytime during a game
