I think you only need the Ashen Mist Heart. It is related to the DLC since it hints at the reason as for why we collect the crowns.

Azran posted:I got the one on the ledge, gonna try the room with the tree, even though I don't remember which one that is. Yes, over on the cavern wall. If you'd seen the tree you would definitely remember. The inlet with the switch (behind the glowing statues) is near the little tower with the ladder you can get to by walking along the movable platforms from the bonfire.

Motherfucker posted:how do I access the DLC content? Go to the primal bonfire room past the Rotten in Black Gulch. If you own the DLC the key you need will automatically be added to your inventory when you load your file. You don't need the Ashen Mist Heart or anything special.

Is there something special you need to do on the PC end to get Dark Souls 2 to recognize that you own the DLC? Because the DLC item isn't appearing in my inventory and I can't access the new area despite owning the season pass.

Just finished (I think?) the DLC. I really liked it! The level design is crazy complex, has this whole 3 layers thing going on, it's almost like a puzzle. The final boss is pretty challenging but nothing we haven't seen before. Cool DLC. Totally worth the money. edit: Oh and I literally only died against the bosses in the DLC, I didn't fall for any of your nasty tricks, From. I'm beginning to learn.

For Lucatiel if I summoned her and kept her alive for The Lost Sinner, Flexile and The Smelter Demon, but she died to The Rotten, then does that still advance her story? Also, guess who just learned there was a second bonfire in the black gulch on their second playthrough.

There's apparently a hidden bonfire before the DLC bosses:ign posted:The road to Elana is fairly tedious unless you know this secret. Just past the broken staircase in the deepest depths of Dragon’s Sanctum is a in a wide, dark passage running perpendicular to the vast chasm you’ve been descending. When facing the right spot, a stairwell to to knights will be out of sight on a corridor to your right, and a chasm will be far off to your left. Shoot the center of the wall at eye level to reveal a hidden Bonfire. Has anyone found it?

I'm not completely done yet but had a fantastic time with it so far (on ng+ char). The areas are pretty complex and gorgeous and fun to explore, the new enemies are fun to fight and there are some interesting (but not too annoying) gimmicks, and Jester Invasion and No idea where the third optional boss is? I assume somewhere in the cave of the dead, but that looked like a dead end to me. It probably didn't take me 10 hours (or even 6 - unless the last boss kicks my rear end forever), but it was totally worth 10 bucks, let alone as part of the season pass. Here's hoping they keep up that level of quality.

The Hidden Sanctum Chamber one is in the room with the sand and the spikes, you gotta shoot some stuff to open it up, namely, a hidden thing in the wall when you go down the stairs that lead to the Jester. I can't find the third though. Would've helped with the annoying-rear end run to the boss!

Motherfucker, that's where it is? Thanks for that, I've been looking. The third one requires a jump. It's above Elana's boss arena, behind an illusory wall by some knights. edit: finally found that drat bonfire, and I feel pretty dumb about how you get to it Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Jul 22, 2014 |

Just in preparation to play the dlc after work, are there a lot of twinkling titanite/dragon bones in the dlc? I really don't feel like grinding to finish off my defender's shield, much less anything I get in there, and I never ended up bothering with cheat engine.

My three sentence review (no major spoilers, it's just made so for the sensitive): The area in the DLC is really cool and it is very unique and well done. The new enemies are either unique (casters and ghosts) or loving terrifying (giant mouthed dinosaur I don't even know whats). The bosses are unbelievably disappointing and the plot retcon is not cool.

There's a ton of petrified dragon bones, one of the enemies drops them really frequently and they're situated right next to a bonfire for easy farming. I wasn't even using the Jester's hood or Covetous Gold Serpent Ring but I got one nearly every kill. They're probably the coolest enemy design of the DLC, to boot. Though sometimes their walking animation glitches and they just slide around the area. Still, salamander t-rex is the best.

Maybe the DLC would be a little bit easier if I wasn't running around in the loving COVENANT OF CHAMPIONS. just found out after beating Jester Thomas when I got an Awestone.
