Carvings are miscellaneous items in Dark Souls III. When these items are used, they audibly speak the words of their namesake.

Description and usage[]

Carvings are strange heads carved from the wood of an archtree. Their main use is to provide communication, although limited, between online players. When used, the player will toss the carved head into the air and once it hits the ground and breaks, players near the user will hear the phrase being spoken. For example, the Hello Carving will shout: "Hello!" upon breaking.

Similar in function to Prism Stones, if the player cannot hear the phrase, then the drop is fatal. The carving itself breaks before hitting the ground if thrown from a sufficiently high point, and thus, cannot be used to communicate with someone far below the player.

Carvings have an unlimited amount of uses and can never be consumed, sold or used up.

Notes[]

  • As in the previous Dark Souls games, the carvings speak with the voice of Hawkeye Gough.
  • Only one of each carving can be obtained by the player. Attempting to trade in subsequent New Game cycles will yield nothing.
