About This Article
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!
