i feel sort of bad that i never beat the last one, and don't really remember too much about it despite liking it at the time. i think i'm going to be insanely bad as i try to get back into DS3.

Ashes of Ariandel was probably the worst Souls DLC so far, but that's not really a huge criticism, it's just that all the other ones have been the best parts of their respective games and AoA was just a decent short area with a great boss

was there anything added between 1.09 and 1.12? or just bug fixes + stuff for the new dlc?

IIRC Ultra weapons swing faster for less stamina, sharp and heavy infusions got buffed a bit, heavy armor is slightly improved, and ornsteins headwear has the plume again

oh also poison and bleed infusions also got buffed, frost weapons do more frostbite, katana non-running attacks got sped up, carthus and follower curved swords had their range reduced, curved greatswords hit harder (exile cgs is now a monster), bonfires show how many embered players nearby

Yeah the DLC area itself wasn't amazing but the boss was epic

not feelin this DLC

YES
I just played up to the first boss with a friend and maybe I'm just rusty but it feels like a direct response to anyone who thought the base game was too easy. It took me back to playing through 1 for the first time.

I love how after maybe 15 minutes in you're juggling a poison swamp, long range sniping enemies, curse build-up and platforming elements it's like a greatest hits in the most dark souls way possible

you can kill weird things that make the angels die and they don't respawn, I bashed my head against earthern peak for a while before realising this

if the DLC shows up on the main menu, it should be there, but i had to go back to firelink and return for the bonfire to appear

Developing a theory that the quality of a DLC pack is directly proportional to how obtuse it is to access in game

this one is simpler than Ariandel and is clearly better

Ya I killed it accidentally and then died and when I came back it was gone FTw. You just have to find where they are I guess. gently caress the two knights at the beginning

I never beat that last boss, I should have just bit the bullet and summoned for it.

What does ember(s) next to the bonfire name mean? I don't remember that being there before.
