This resulted in me finishing The Ringed City much more quickly than I probably should have (~four hours). Then I would have to work my way backwards to do some exploring and I just wasn’t a fan. Basically what I did for the majority of this DLC was running from bonfire to bonfire killing the bosses. When I play Dark Souls, I want to fight my way through everything because the combat is the driving force behind this series. I want to fight my way through areas collecting as many items as I can find and exploring as much as I can. Basically, if you don’t dip behind rocks every ten feet you die. There’s effectively an instakill mechanic in quite a bit of the new areas that requires you to move through them more stealthily. However, the problem here is I didn’t really feel compelled to explore it. The Ringed City introduces a pretty decent sized new area.

My biggest gripe with Ashes of Ariandel was that it was too small and that was slightly improved in this DLC. Much like the first DLC, The Ringed City comes with a $15 price tag.įor starters, I think The Ringed City was definitely better than Ashes of Ariandel. The Ringed City was the second of two DLCs for Dark Souls 3, the first being Ashes of Ariandelback in October. This is the end of the line for Dark Souls.Ī couple weeks back, the final piece of content we’ll ever see (for the time being) of the Dark Souls series was released.
