That's the moonlight greatsword esque longsword which doesn't seem to be there right now.
My estoc
Rather pleased with myself...
Managed to convince a player without the priestess eye not to rush to Avaa and instead explore the rest of the place. Gave him/her the whole tour and we eventually came back to Avaa. A shame though as I died midway during the fight because I became too stingy with my remaining estus.

Damn, I am lost or stuck. I collected what I think is a key item for the DLC
, but don't know what to do with it.
I beat the first boss
or something like that but the area after that is blocked off in Ice, along with many other areas. Not sure what I'm supposed to do right now.
Eye of the Priestess
I beat the first boss
Aava, Pet of the king
The Eye allows you to see Aava, and a few other enemies in another part of the stage. Continue on from where you fought Aava and eventually you will meet up with a character that after speaking with, will melt all the ice.

Thanks, I will try there again. Maybe I am blind and totally missed it.
Catching up on the DLC's now. Beat Sunken King no problem. Smelter 2.0 no problem. But man the Fume Knight is fucking me up. I have beaten every boss in every Souls game, and I have to say none has ever given me trouble like this guy. Maybe I need to respec out of my faith build or something. Or just keep pounding away until he finally decides to die.
Fume Knight forces a lot of people to change how they approach boss fights, as a lot of old tricks don't work so well on him. Make sure you're rather light so you can dodge him easier and don't circle around him too much.
No kidding. My old strat of cast sunlight blade and go ham doesn't work on him worth a damn.

I must be going crazy.
I could have sworn that I purchased the Dark Souls 2 Season Pass when it was announced but I have no DLC associated with my Steam account and I don't have it at GMG either (the only other place I buy Steam stuff). What have I been thinking?! Ugh, a search through gmail turns up nothing as well.

He's got very high lightning resistance so that stops FTH builds relying on sunlight blade in their tracks.
The bosses of Ivory King also make people change their strats a lot.
They change targets on a dime, and makes it really hard to keep a grasp on who they're aggroing. You really need to keep an eye on all the enemies in a bossfight so as not to get surprise-stabbed from behind.

so, out of curiosity, how is the dlc for a STR/FTH crypt blacksword build? just a few hours to play this dlc, at least that crown looks pretty

I really hate the face and skin of the character I made, but the crown buff is just too good to pass up.
I went through all the armour I got to get rid of my doubles and the amount of unique and awesomely designed sets is just staggering. Heads and shoulders above the other Souls games, and most RPGs in general, actually.
Yes!

Been trying for about 4 hours now total I think. Some of the enemies on the way have de-spawned I believe.
I almost got him, but I had no estus left and panicked too much while he had 20/30% health left he got me.
the smaller one, I even fully killed the big one 
My jaw dropped.
Also, is there no bonfire near here? I died and had to run from Shaded Ruins Fork Road, it's a damn long run.
dem motherfucking elephants
Once you get through the big gate, you're really near a bonfire.
Next one is inside the castle, none outside it.Also, is there no bonfire near here? I died and had to run from Shaded Ruins Fork Road, it's a damn long run.
I have not got all the loot yet (at work until midnight), but based on images/video I'm coming across the following will get all my attention;
Honestly, everything looks great.

Symbol of Avarice, aw yeah! Those tongue physics, though.
Really loving this DLC so far.
Yeah, I found it.
This place is so dark and silent.
I'm scared playing with headphones. >.<
You'll be fine, it's not that scary actually really.
Been having some thoughts about the effect you get from having all four crowns. While I don't think the ingame effects are that impressive really, it is rather interesting lore wise. Being able to
is pretty unique.
completely resist the effects of the curse, i.e, you no longer hollow out

Could just be more of Dark Souls 2's typical cryptic nonsense bullshit. Saying things to sound mysterious but really no substance to it at all.
And I backhanded Maldron the Assassin off the cliff in the Iron Crown dlc. I only wish he'd fallen further.

Goddamn this stupid Outskirts boss! I put my sign down and even between the host and I it was super tough. Specific boss spoilers follow:
put your signs down outside the boss door in the Outskirts pls ;-;
When that second tiger goes into angry mode you'd better hope you have a high DPS weapon, my Drakewing UGS was doing shit-all. Between each swing it would gain back like 3/4 of the damage it took. I had to take out my dagger and R1 spam the shit out of it to kill it while the host was pelting it with arrows.
put your signs down outside the boss door in the Outskirts pls ;-;

Just got the weapon reskin from the Majula Chest. It's a
. If you start in Majula you need to leave it then come back or use a bonfire for it to show up.
Blue Longsword that looks like the moonlight blade.
Ugh, got really far into the Outskirts, got a "", but ended up going in circles, and it seems like the reindeer keep comingring of the living
lol you were so close.

No new ending, but now if you wear any of the crowns you are impervious to hollowing.
Some people on /r/darksouls2 made an interesting comment. It's basically you finally finding the solution that everybody came to Drangleic in the first place for (a way to stop the hollowing process.

Frigid Outskirts - fun to run through the first time! After that...not so much.
