A lot of them will be recognisable from previous games, such as the classic dragon breathing fire on the very path on which you need to travel, but they still remain fresh in this add-on. Aside from the enemies that litter the area, there is an abundance of dangers throughout 'The Ringed City'.

It's what Dark Souls, and especially 'The Ringed City', does so well.īe careful of these bad boys.

Screaming 'YES!' as the final boss fell gave validation to a long hour and a half struggle, and even after you are on the brink of giving up, one last try that leads to victory suddenly makes it all worth it. With the exception of one slightly lackluster, albeit still tricky fight, the boss designs are exceptional and will definitely have you sweating as you whittle down their health. There are double the amount of bosses on offer here after 'Ashes of Ariandel' and all of them present a great challenge. Fortunately, 'The Ringed City' brings forth a number of memorable and tough fights. Arguably the all-important factor of Souls is the bosses. It's refreshingly challenging and nothing feels recycled. Ringed Knights wander the city streets, gigantic flies with human-like heads attempt to impale you with their magic spears and hollow soldiers will amass all their energy to hurl the power of the abyss at you. Players can fall through floors again and regular enemy ambushes make a return, but the enemies themselves can be much deadlier if you allow them to be. Death will be a common occurrence even to veteran players due to the new enemies and environmental hazards that 'The Ringed City' introduces. The DLC can only be accessed once you've reached the final boss of the main game, but once you make it to The Dreg Heap you will quickly realise that it's not a casual stroll to the other side. 'The Ringed City' is designed to be your final port of call when playing Dark Souls III.
