Further, the fact that this expansion is an extension of the plot from Ariandel, and the very anti-climactic nature of Ariandel, makes it seem like Ariandel should have been the first act of this expansion, but was separated out into its own expansion for. But no, it's just an extra, out-of-place bonfire. Maybe as a fun easter egg for fans, the access point could have been hidden behind a statue sitting behind Andre the Blacksmith in Firelink Shrine. Or you could descend into the chasm below the Profaned Capital. Or the Kiln of the First Flame could have a new path leading down into the Dreg Heap. Like maybe defeating the Stray Demon gatekeeper above Farron could have opened the gate and revealed a path to the DLC. I was really hoping for the DLC to be integrated into the actual game world - that it would reveal some previously-blocked-off path in some obscure or interesting region of the map that would simply allow the player to walk to the DLC, thus revealing the game world to be much larger than originally believed. Continuing that tradition is disappointing. If there's one common thread for the DLC, it's that it always requires the player to be teleported across space and/or time.
If you don't want to wait till the end of the game, you can access the DLC early by beating Ariandel. It makes the whole thing feel like a very detached afterthought. An extra bonfire just appears at one of two specific points, which teleports you to the new area.
So how would The Ringed City implement its entrance to the DLC? Would it require some arcane process of killing optional enemies in optional areas? Would a dialogue box just pop up to tell the player where to go? If you ask me, The Ringed City might have the laziest and most boring access point of them all. And Dark Souls III's first DLC added a character that you could talk to who teleported you to the DLC. Bloodborne put a prompt on the screen telling you where to go, but accessing the DLC still required the player to counter-intuitively interact with a specific entity in the game world. Dark Souls II apparently had its three DLC planned form the beginning, as the vanilla game included shrines for accessing each DLC - at least one of which is in plain view and can't be missed. The first Dark Souls required an absolutely arcane process that you'd probably never discover if you didn't already know how to do it. Single-player, with asynchronous multiplayer and up to 6 players in co-op or PvPįROM Soft has an erratic track record with how cryptic it can be to find the DLC in the Dark Souls and Bloodborne games. Traps and ambushes rush the player through a vibrant gauntlet
