Goddamn the

Spoiler

Reindeerland with snowstorms

was HARD. I had to summon NPCs to complete it, and even then it took two tries. The boss there is no joke, but the gauntlet to it is even worse than Iron Passage.

*screams internally*

oh well, hopefully you can rush throu right?
I suppose it will be up tomorrow for PS3, so far I am really liking what you have posted guys, I really want that

Spoiler

lightsaber

lol... also, any gear worth of fashion souls yet?

You can rush through, but there are enemies in there that will catch up with you really quick. And they do tons of damage too.

 

[JustinBB7]

Where the fuck do I go in

Spoiler

the fucking snow mist area, seems you have to run for 20 minutes to get to the end, do I have to beat the chaos boss first?

 

[SargerusBR]

Man this final boss is the most shit boss encounter i ever seen in Souls.

 

[neoism]

Just beat the first boss on my second try!

Spoiler

That jumping attack is super easy to dodge, I just rolled into Tigger and did the ultra greatsword rolling attack into a regular r1 for a good ~900 damage each time. I killed him just as he spawned a few homing crystal soul spears and they fired at me after the boss was dead! Cheap shot!

ummm is is the boss suppose to be fucking

Spoiler

INVISIBLE !

Yes, you need to

acquire an item in order to turn him visible.

 

[Ruuppa]

So for anyone who's beaten the DLC:

Spoiler

What am I supposed to do with the "heated up" crowns?

 

[neoism]

thank fuck lol

 

[Orochinagis]

Do I need to finish the game before I can play the DLC?

The DLC is end game so you are good to go to finish the game

 

[Ruuppa]

Wise words. Ivory King is about two times as hard as the basegame. Three times for one particular area.

Edit: Holy crap, if you powerstance the two Smelter swords, they have a powerful explosion attack.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

I've barely gotten anywhere on the Iron King sections and I didn't even find Gank Squad yet for Sunken Crown. DLC's coming out too fast for me.

 

[ultraspank]

yeah, spells going through walls and kills me.
Never change From.

And i'm so fucking sick of arrows getting stuck in invisible walls.

Any tips on how to reach the 5th bonfire?

You need the

key to open the door on the outer wall area

 

[Mistel]

Edit: Holy crap, if you powerstance the two Smelter swords, they have a powerful explosion attack.

Might provide options for an STR/INT/Pyro build which maybe.

 

[Uzzy]

Think I just found something! Keep looking around all places that had locked doors/ice and explore more.

After taking a bit of a break, I finally got past

Spoiler

the invader Donna, and found another knight. I guess there must be four in the DLC.

 

[Dascu]

And any tips on where to find this key?

 

[JustinBB7]

It's

Spoiler

near second bonfire but on the top side, where you have to light 4 torches to open a cave door

 

[Ruuppa]

Spoiler

The Ivory Crown has a HP regen effect, not sure if it has anything else. The regen is somewhat usable when paired with the life regen ring, but otherwise extremely meh. Still no idea what to do with the crowns after showing them to Vendrick, maybe I have to Ascetic Nashandra and go through the credits again or something..? Hrm.

Talk to him then it will tell you the real ending

I did talk to him, and it only said

Spoiler

the crowns are heating up, or something to that effect. Are you saying that tiny cutscene where my PC lifts the crown in the air is the real ending? If so, that's bullshit of the highest order.

 

[Big Chungus]

How do you access the new DLC?

Read the description of the DLC item, it straight up tells you.

Well, gotta sell Dark Souls 3 somehow.

 

[ElTopo]

Okay, beat the first boss

Spoiler

Tony the Tiger. Good boss fight, took me about 8 attempts. Only really annoying thing is that sometimes you just stop targeting him for no reason, and that always seems to happen just before he does a claw swipe. Checked out the chaos realm and got my ass kicked, and decided to explore the rest of the zone before venturing back. Figured out that gimmick which was interesting. Encountered the killer bunnies aka Wheel Skeletons 2.0.

Yeah, so far this DLC is kicking ass.

 

[Uzzy]

Frigid Outskirts. All of my hate.

 

[JustinBB7]

I've been stuck on the outskirts for an hour now, can not make any progress in there.

 

[Ruuppa]

I'm gonna start putting my sign in Outskirts, because screw that place.

 

[JustinBB7]

According to the bonfire map there is no bonfire in there either, so what's in there anyway, is there a point to this bullshit or..

Poison area?

Another pharros stuff or the flower set maybe?

 

[neoism]

well made it to the third bonfire really nice dlc but want to take may sweet time with it.. cant seem to get a sweetfx setting I like though bloom seems to make everything WAAAY to white/bright.

Oh, there's a point to that place alright. Spoilers, obviously!

 

[JustinBB7]

Is there a bonfire anywhere? I can't even get past the second building in NG++ and there is no bonfire in there. Get overrun by mutlple enemies.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

EDIT: nvm, saw on the steam forums.

 

[neoism]

is the new sword in the mansion chest or is it tomorrow?

 

[SargerusBR]

Oh, there's a point to that place alright. Spoilers, obviously!

How do you reach its area?

 

[DarkHeartedKill]

I could be playing the DLC right now! This is what I get for trying to conserve energy by turning my PC off when I sleep ;~;.

Now I must bid farewell to this thread until I finish the DLC, since I find anything relating to the DLC as a spoiler...full blind playthrough AHOY!

 

[Ruuppa]

Poison area?

Worse,

Spoiler

an area where you can only see 1/4th of the time. There's a blizzard going on.

Spoiler

You get two nifty boss-souls and a useless ring from there.

How do you reach its area?

Spoiler

Follow the landmarks when the storm breaks. Try to get to each landmark as fast as possible, otherwise the reindeer will getcha.

 

[Uzzy]

Not seen any bonfire, so you've got to do it in one run. It's hell.

How do you reach its area?

Spoiler

From the start, look to your left and go towards the graveyard (to grab a very useful NPC), then go to each building you see.

How hard is the boss?

This might be the only boss I won't get I think, it's too hard to even get close there. Let alone fight a boss at the end. I've done every boss in both dark souls games solo and on NG++ I can't even reach this one..

 

[Arjen]

What's up guys, got back into the game after a long break because it was a bit disappointing compared to the first. Tackled the first DC which I really liked, except that gang bang trio, don't care for tons of mobs just to amp up the difficulty. Is the second DC just as good?

It's got some encounters where it's a bit clustered but other than it the environment and enemies are interesting. Some decent stuff too weapons wise much more so than the first.

Welp I give up, I can't do it. It's way too hard.

 

[Laurentius]

All this Ivory King hype! Gotta get some work and homework done, and then my Greatsword wielding Guts' cosplay is ready to take on the snow.

 

[Sullichin]

Surprisingly just not really in the mood to play the new DLC, but of course I'll try it out when I get home. Impressions seem pretty positive so far.
