To those who got to play this mod, the Cinders mod for Dark Souls III is often considered to be the best mod for Dark Souls III. There are a number of questions that this guide will attempt to answer in intricate detail How can I install and play the Cinders mod? Where can I download this mod? What does the Dark Souls 3 Cinders mod do? For those not in the loop by now of what exactly Dark Souls is,Dark Souls is part of FromSoftware’s Soulsborne series of games. These games take place in a dying series of worlds with little to no explanation for what is going on beyond the premise of the First Flame. The first flame was lit by Gwyn, the original Lord of Cinder, in an effort to stay off the Dark Age of Man, after defeating the Dragons with help from dragon-traitor Seath the Scaleless - all described in Dark Souls. As to how Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin fits into the plot of the 3rd game, don't worry. I’m here to help. Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin  has the classic Link the flame or allow the flame to fade ending choice. To get this, simply beat Nashandra as normal and maybe Aldia if the conditions are met (Speaking to Aldia at EVERY possible Bonfire results in a subsequent battle against Aldia, but ONLY IF Vendrick is killed in the Undead Crypt!) This finally leads us to Dark Souls III. Prince Lothric abdicated his duties to watch the flame fade. After defeating Soul of Cinder and returning Lothric to the throne by force prior, players can attempt to link the fire, summon the Fire Keeper to extinguish the flame and begin an age of Dark, or kill her. A fourth ending consists of the Ashen One taking the flame for their own and becoming the Lord of Hollows. As to what happens from there? It’s left to you and you alone.
