But what makes this character such an interesting choice is their late entry into the series. The final boss in the expansion is an NPC players will be familiar with (no spoilers here). But the final boss is a wonderfully unique entry to the series. Two boss fights force you to regularly close large distances between you and your target, putting a heavy strain on stamina, not to mention a few surprises. It’s only fitting that the final bosses introduced in the series incorporate some of the more difficult boss fight elements, including player summons. Even so, it usually wasn’t enough to cut it. I spent hours burning through embers so and summoning as many phantom players to assist me as my bandwidth could handle. The Ringed City introduces three new bosses, each one giving you a run for your money. Ghostly battalions of archers, dark dragons, NPCs and Dark Sign Knights will effectively halt your progress for a time. If you can survive long enough to find and kill it, you’ll be in the clear and never have to deal with these monsters again.Īnd The Ringed City is loaded with permadeath enemies like the angels, but finding their patterns, dodging attacks, and surviving long enough to end them proves to be more difficult in this expansion. These creatures will immediately respawn, unless you find the nearby parasite that sustains these angels. If you have the patience, or archer skills, to cover-shoot one to death, you’ll find joy is short-lived. But for the first time, you get to meet these fabled angels, and unless you enjoy devastating airborne attacks and sprinting from cover to cover, these are anything but heavenly. The Ringed City has more airborne projectiles, more clever puzzles, and more overpowered bosses than previously seen in the series.Īstute observers, or the player responsible for writing “Angel, try tongue rear” in glowing soapstone might have noticed, “angel” has been listed under “enemy” in the message system since launch. In fact, it might be fair to say The Ringed City has taken Dark Souls 3 and elevated the difficulty by introducing a slew of new enemies, puzzle elements, and some of the most brutal boss fights. Rest assured you masochistic soul hoarders, the final expansion, The Ringed City, offers no respite for the Hollow. From Software is renowned for the relentless challenge they present players in the Dark Souls series.
