QuestionHow do I jump in Dark Souls for the Nintendo Switch?Community AnswerUnfortunately, you cannot do this due to the lack of controller buttons on the Joycons.
Tips
- The distance your character can jump is determined by how fast you’re able to run, which in turn, is based on your equipment load. If the weight of your character’s equipment is less than 25 percent, your movement speed will not be reduced; however, equipment loads between 25 and 50 percent results in 25 percent speed reduction, loads between 50 and 75 percent result in 50 percent speed reduction, and loads between 75 and 100 percent result in 75 percent speed reduction.

To jump in Dark Souls while playing on the Xbox 360, start by pointing the left joystick in the direction you want your character to move. As your character is moving, press and hold the “B” button on your controller to make your character run, since you can only jump while your character is running. Once your character starts running, release the “B” button, then quickly tap “B” again to make them jump. If you’re playing on the PlayStation 3, the steps to jump are the same, but you’ll need to press the circle button because the PlayStation 3 controller doesn’t have a “B” button. For more tips, including how to determine how far your character will jump based on their running speed, read on!
