Dark Souls Quiz – Bonfires, Estus and Lordran's Challenge

Dark Souls, released by FromSoftware in 2011 and directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, takes players through the ruined kingdom of Lordran. It is famous for tough combat and careful level design.

Bonfires are rare safe spots where players rest, refill their Estus Flasks and set a respawn point. Resting also brings most enemies back to life, and kindling a bonfire adds more healing charges.

When you die, your souls drop on the ground, and dying again before recovering them loses them forever. Firelink Shrine links many areas, Solaire praises the Sun, and the journey ends against Gwyn, Lord of Cinder.
