Ah, sorry. No, you need to reach the 5th bonfire, then jump in the coffin there.
Oh, um.
You need to grab the key from the cave with the Flexile Sentries, the one which needs you to light 4 torches to open. Once you've got that, go to where you first meet Rampart Golems (the knights with the big shields), and hang a left when you get to the outer wall. There's a door with a bonfire behind it there, and a casket that leads you to Outskirts.
Sprint like a motherlover towards the closest landmark when the blizzard clears. The reindeer only spawn during the blizzard, and don't spawn at all near the ruined buildings. If you stay and fight them in the open, there's a huge chance that more of them will spawn to harass you. Speed is the key for that area.

Why do PC players get it before us? 
Not fair. Time to stay out of this thread for the next day I guess.
Not fair. Time to stay out of this thread for the next day I guess.That's what I've been trying. I made it to the second building but there are too many after that. Maybe I should try naked or something.
The Pharros lock in the second building activates a useful health fountain.

Xbox users got it earlier last time too.
I read it would be ready on 360 by 5 pm today so, it's not that bad in my case.

You should murder the hell out of them at each landmark, stop them from building up. Going naked could help a lot, like with the Iron Passage shortcuts. You'll still aggro at least one per trip, but it shouldn't be overwhelming. Just keep running, even through the blizzard. If you grab some NPCs, they could be really idiotic and stay and fight, prompting more spawns though.. And you really do want some help for the boss, because reasons.
Found two.
One in the Flexile Sentry cave that leads to the kung-fu fist, and another in the area of the 3rd bonfire, near a body that has Flame Butterflies on it.
You can see the invisible ladders once you get the key item that allows you to see the first boss.

Is it any good? I still haven't finished the second one and will probably just skip it and go straight to the last one and download the 101kb key or whatever you need to do when I can be bothered.
I was super disappointed with the second DLC after reading it was better than the first (which was also very dull). DS2 is weird for me at this point, I'm still playing it, but I also acknowledge there's lots I don't enjoy. I still like to make new characters and do low-level runs but I end up feeling boxed in in a way I never did in the previous two games, like I kind of have to level up to progress which I never felt in the other two. I definately feel they built this game from a different perspective than the other two - it wears the skin, but it doesn't embody Souls to me. Sorry for the mini-rant, I know you've heard it all before.

What path do you take to get there?
I made it as far as the Covetous Demon reskin and thought I had fully explored all the areas.

Thanks everyone for the heads-up. Didn't expect it until tomorrow on PC, might not have even checked otherwise. Gonna go in blind.
So I got the Ivory Crown and visited Vendrick,
Bonfired Nashandra,
AND
Only thing remaining is the CooP boss in the Ivory King DLC and getting certain items.
which triggered this -> http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/40854254136464618/FAC2F301F18BC095CC5FF966E77C6C3126D3CCD2/ <-
Bonfired Nashandra,
then sat on the throne with Vendrik's Crown
nothing new happened (the ending was the same)
Am I missing something?
I feel very sad (emotionally, because of the story), since the game ending didn't change after all the trouble my character went through.

Run from the first bonfire to the second, but explore the buildings before you drop down to that second one. There's a cave there, with some old familiar foes and a key to unlock a door, further ahead.
Otherwise right, but you start from the second bonfire, and head towards the third.
Edit: No! Wait! I'm wrong. And stupid. Mostly wrong. Yeah, go from the first towards the second. D'oh. The door you need to open is between the second and the third though.

Its supposed Vendrik was about to tell you the true core of the Soul (human souls) when you get the three crowns.
Yeah, nothing happened for me either. I've been running around areas, checking if anything has changed but no dice.

The outskirts area.
I guess it's the coop zone for this dlc.

Sooooo...
I went up an invisible ladder and got a miracle called Splintering Lightning Spear heh
Where is this area? the one
which needs lighting 4 torches..
Edit: @Ruupa thanks, I got it.
Right before the 2nd bonfire. There's a snowy canyonpath between two buildings. You need to have beaten the first boss to be able to light the torches.

OH MY GOD, the
moveset
Bone Fist
Fire, maybe? They do have a really annoying power-up though:
They gain extra damage and friggin' REGENERATION. Not sure if they can both activate it, or whether it only comes to play when one is dead.
I can give one tip for them tho': Wear a Bracing Knuckle Ring +2. Or have tons of Repair Powder. Hitting them seems to degrade your weapon at a higher speed than normal.
Powerstance it with a Caestus on your left hand

LOL! I love how creative From is getting with NPC invaders.
Get invaded go around looking for this guy so I go up a couple sets of stairs and get to just an empty area with a chest and a drop down. Then suddenly I see a barrel move, before I could react BOOM BACKSTAB! He then does the duel bow ha! I'm 100 sure it's NPC due to the fact that I'm offline ./SPOILER]

Wait until you get to an old friend from the Iron King DLC. He's gonna be fun if you don't murder his face right off. He's so sneaky he doesn't even get a "Dark Spirit has invaded!" -message.
Only for the optional one. And it's really, really hard.

This DLC already feel really big, there's a huge number of paths early on.
Ava is hard.

2 questions please:
1)
WTF?
2)
1)
who are these white phantom knights I see occasionally? They don't do anything. One followed me as I was fighting some enemies, and then I pulled a lever opening a big gate and when I did that he backstabbed me and insta killed me
WTF?
2)
how many of these Eleum Loyce Knights do I need? I have 3 out of 4 but can't find the last? I heard someone say 3 is ok, this true? Is there any benefit to having all 4?

played another few hours it really looks better once you
Also WTF did they up the durability or something my sun sword its like dun in 15 or so hits.. :/ it didn't seem that bad before this. I've had to use waay more repair powers.. Also why does all the DLC weapons seems soo shity.. O_O
looks fucking dope as fuck but its literally terrible
talk to the lady that makes all the shitty whiteness go away.. <3 but man the first BOSS I had two homies helping me and we barely got it lol. soo awesome killing a boss first try.
So in that room right after the boss were you talk to the women is the sunlight coming through the windows look weird for anyone else??? its like they didnt make the texture right or something shrug....

I swear that new twin-blade
Not sure about the Old Bell Helm, but the Vessel Shield boosts quite a few of your stats.
1.
He's an old "friend" from the Iron King DLC. He's a jolly old bastard, so kill him on sight.
You don't need any if you're HARDCORE TO THE MAX, but 3 is ok since that way they can seal all the enemy portals. 4 is better, since they're free allies.

I don't even remember him
If I die (almost certainly) at the last boss do I need to face the onlsaught of enemies again then if they've already sealed the portals first time around? Does the 4th spare knight help in the boss fight?

He invades you in the tower you get the Majestic Greatsword from. And runs into the curse area to heal. Fun guy!
They'll need to reseal the portals, I would think. I might be wrong about that, I did him in one.

Okay. the path I was looking for was kind of hidden in plain sight. My bad.
But man, fuck those horses... Seriously, it's a really cool visual but it's way too frustrating in how many times you fight them.

What is the Pharros Lockstone supposed to do at the 2nd ruined castle in the white fog? I used it and saw no immediate benefits.
Figures.
By the time I got there, I somehow got inside, a horse did not spawn, and killed the Phantom. I was at full health. Pointless.
I think those horses spawn every time after it clears up.

Any hints on where the Knights are? I found one after
Castaway Witch Donna, but haven't found the other two yet.
