Torch (Dark Souls III)

The Torch is a miscellaneous weapon in Dark Souls III.

Availability
Sold by the Shrine Handmaid in Firelink Shrine for 300 souls.

Usage
Wielding the torch in one hand will illuminate the immediate area around the player to facilitate traversing through darkened areas.

The torch also has a special hidden use; if the player has been parasitized with worms by enemies who inflict this debuff (like the worm creatures found near the Cleansing Chapel bonfire in the Cathedral of the Deep), just holding the torch will eliminate all of them immediately, stopping the Bleed buildup meter.

Unlike in the previous game, the torch in Dark Souls III has to be purchased and manually equipped. Though not intended to be used primarily as a weapon, it deals 35 physical (strike) + 80 Fire damage and can be upgraded. It also lights as soon as it is wielded, not requiring the player to find a fire source.

Upgrades
Upgrades with Titanite.
