The secrets and hidden features in "Dark Souls 3" are partly why this game is a favorite. Sometimes, you could discover these during random play. However, if you would like to cover all the bases and learn what these are, check out the guides below. This includes unlocking the game's ending, so fair warning for the spoilers:
1. The Power Of The Kick
While a basic move in previous "Souls" games, the kick in "Dark Souls 3" is made more powerful than ever. To trigger this, you would have to hit forward and press the R1 and RB together at the exact time. The kick can be used against major enemies and bear down even those with shields.
2. Fighting Optional, Secret Bosses
If you'd like to skip with the small tasks and challenges to fight the optional and secret bosses in "Dark Souls 3," you can do so by going to their hidden locations. These bosses are the Curse Rotted-Greatwood, the Old Demon King, the Consumed King Oceiros, Champion Gundyr, the Ancient Wyvern and The Nameless King, among others.

3. Hitting The Chests
Don't be too quick to open and take what's inside the treasure chest in "Dark Souls 3" because some of it have creatures that could easily chow you down. You're defenseless against this, but there is a workaround.
Dark Souls 3 update: I opened a chest, & it ate me. I then returned to the chest, attacked it, it grew legs, ran after me & ate me again. — Brian Beavers (@BrianBvers) April 16, 2016
Before you open the chest, hit this to engage the monsters inside for a fair battle. This way is a better than an ambush.
Super pro Dark Souls 3 tip on mimics: look super closely if the chest is breathing. Use undead hunter charm to give up its stuff w/o a fight

5. Seeing The Endings
"Dark Souls 3" has multiple endings and players can unlock this depending on the results of their gameplay. The first ending involves the First Flame and it can be unlocked by simply beating the Soul of Cinder.
Once that happens, try playing with the bonfire to trigger a cut scene. The second ending is unlocked after you have found the Eyes of Firekeeper.
The third ending features the Lord of Hollows, which might be the hardest to complete, but it is the game's best ending. For the step-by-step details, check out the guide from Gamespot or watch this video below:
