#KINGS CROWN DARK SOULS 2 SERIES#

The Souls series has always had a large array of characters scattered across the world, yet these isolated structures seem to be void of any sensible (or even somewhat sane) life forms. In addition, what these pieces of content need are more NPCs. Because of this, maneuvering through a fog gate feels almost pointless with no worry of an unsuspecting boss being on the other side. Looking how the structure is built, itвЂ™s somewhat understandable why everything is shoved to the back, but this would have benefited a bit better having things spread out. The pacing could have been a little better as all three bosses are found near, or right at the end of DLC.

At the same time, by not doing the side quests, it makes this piece of content very disappointing. The altered formula of optional quests is a nice change, giving players a little more freedom to determine if they want to seek greater power on their own, rather than forcing battles upon them. This secondary dungeon is kept by a familiar demon also found in the Iron Keep. Additionally, down in the depths of the Brume Tower is a cave that seems to serve as a dungeon, housing some nasty magicians and inmates who, for whatever reason, are allowed to keep their gear and weaponry. This ties into the optional side-quest that has players collecting shards of a soul in order to receive a decent chime or a powerful pyromancy spell. Even after receiving the crown, players will be able to travel into a memory where they will face the fierce samurai-esque warrior, Alonne, who was the Iron KingвЂ™s most trusted knight. Of course, itвЂ™s expected that most Dark Souls fans thoroughly venture through the entirety of the world, so completion can be greatly extended by facing the two extra bosses and collecting the various items scattered about. In fact, if you just go straight for the crown, thereвЂ™s really only one boss to face and it will take you roughly two, maybe three hours to complete.

If youвЂ™re someone who doesnвЂ™t want to go off the beaten path, this piece of DLC can be very short. Traverse three giant towers in order to uncover the story behind The Old Iron King, while at the same time, being introduced to even greater lore. While the last piece of content release last month helped explain why the Black Gulch was filled with poisonous traps, this time around we get to learn more about the Iron King, an ancient lord who transformed into the fiery demon found in the Iron Keep.
