I’ll never forget the first time I played through the ringed city. I spent so much time just looking around at the environment and how expansive it was. And then walking up to Gael for the first time. Chef’s kiss.
There isn't a single bad DLC IMO. They are all amazing, but some are better than others.
The bad ones are the ones that DON'T EXIST! 😭😭😭😭😭
Ringed City is bad
Ashes of ariandel is bad, only good thing about is sister friede
@@TheLastGame666 i really enjoyed it's atmosphere and enviorments so i gotta disagree
@@jarlwhiterun7478this has to be rage bait if no then fair play i guess for me its number one
Honestly, being able to simply refight all the bosses makes Sekiro's DLC one of my favorites. I wish the other games would get a similar thing.
Really hoping they put this in Elden Ring at some point. There are so many amazing fights in there that I want to replay more often, but going through the entire game is a big time investment. Even while rushing, the average player will spend quite a few hours getting to Malenia or Godfrey.
Yeah, it might not have been a true dlc but the update was massive. Inner Owl is straight up my number 1 bestest, most favourite boss in the entire Fromsoft catalogue. And if a "dlc" managed to do that it deserves that 1.5 spot at least.
For me Ringed City was super frustrating, with the enemy level, poison swamp with those angels shoots at you. The demon boss, idk even why are they there. Then the judicators and their summons, pure missery. And the boss before Geal. And Midir's fight. Maybe i should git gud, till this day i couldn't beat midir. Geal was spectalce although honestly, he had a bit too much hp. For me the old hunters dlc is on top, maybe I'm a bit biased.
For ds2 Ivory crown is the last. Although the location does look good, and exploring is great, but litterly 2 of 3 bossfights are the same enemies😂.
Sunken king is far better in terms of bossfights, Elana is a good fight where her summoning machanic makes the fight more engaging, and sinh is supposedly the 2nd best dragon fight, so yeah.
For the gank fight there is a pattern for the run back, you can do it without taking damage. Surprisingly the can also be good, it depends on your build and if you yourself are good.
Lastly Iron dlc is the best out of ds2's, i dont i have to explain myself why
@@Ralfatusfor me it feels like you went undeleved to the ringed city. I also hated Midir in my first playthrough, rage quitted him, then on NG+ I summoned 3 people that did all the work and killed him, it was only on NG++ that I finally killed him by myself and my opinion on him completely changed, I finally stopped hating him and the fight clicked for me, I finally saw why it was THE BEST dragon fight in the entire series
**cough** Bonfire ascetic **cough**
What if the Elden Ring DLC is the size of Dark Souls 1... that'd be insane...
I think It won't be so big but will still be massive
what if the eldenring DLC is just Dks1 ( ＾ω＾)
What if it is ds1
DLC is as big or even bigger than limgrave, propably 3-5× bigger than dark souls
@@eythorl97k74 yea and its gonna have more content than elden ring had and its a dlc so its definitely gonna be the biggest dlc weve gotten
For its a toss up between "The Old Hunters" and "The Ringed City for the number 1 spot. I lean slightly more towards The Old Hunters but those two DLC are both fantastic. Although I have a feeling even those two might get overshadow(oftheErdtree)ed soon.
Worst one I'd probably say "Crown of the Old Iron King". Alonne and Fume Knight are cool bosses but I did not enjoy my time in Brume Tower otherwise.
Ivory king has that beat though imo. Ivory king is the only cool part about that one. Frigid outskirts is a travesty of a zone, and it leads to a gank fight that's also just the first boss of the dlc, but twice.
I agree with every word you said😂
Ringed City is the most overrated piece of media of all time. It's a very good looking piece of crap. You rush through every area so you don't get sniped, can't explore, and try to rush through the boring swamp area to the bosses. The bosses are great except the spear of the church, but are still tanky and tedious overall.
@jarlwhiterun7478 The only really tanky boss in the ringed city is Gael.
Old Hunters made Bloodborne my favorite souls game
I never got to play BB's DLC even though I really want to (plz BB pc we need it) so I can't talk about that one but Ringed City is just peak souls. I think Gael is the best boss they've ever made, Midir is also an amazing boss fight and people sleep on demon princes when talking about Ringed City but they're such a fun fight with a really cool twist. Anw that's all the bosses of that DLC, totally didn't forget any 4th boss at all. Friede heavily carries her DLC and in fact she's the only reason to do that DLC tbh but I still think her fight is awesome. Overall I still prefer DS3 over ER simply cause of the DLCs and some other bosses like Nameless King or Dancer but I think Miyazaki is cooking something on par with Ringed City if not even better.
I like Ashe’s of Ariandel mainly bc of Friede, but I also think the town is some cool level design and overall it’s interesting lore. As for Ringed City it’s all around amazing except that painful death run between the top and the bottom with a million heralds in between. Demon prince is honestly my favorite fight of the dlc bc of how cool they and the arena are, the differences based on who goes down first, and the music. It’s one of the most satisfying and intense fights imo. My first time I was so shook when I finally killed the last and it just got up and exploded 😨
When Prod was talking about the DS2 DLCs I'm surprised he didn't mention the "invaders", particularly in Ivory King. To me at least those are some of the most inventive NPC invaders FromSoft has ever done.
Maldron is probably best invader in entire franchise.
@@OdenDChad Amen to that. Nothing, aside from the invader who uses chameleon in the same game, as come close.
Fume Knight, my beloved
This is probably the only tier list that I agree with 99% of. The Old Hunters is tied at #1 for me with The Ringed City. My bias leans to ToH because Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time. But without that bias they're equal in my eyes.
How many eyes though?
@@slipperydouglas8263So, so many...
Unrelated to the ranking but DS2 was the friendliest towards its playerbase that did not purchase the DLCs. Back in the PS3/Xbox 360 days I was still underaged and my parents weren’t a huge fan of online purchases yet I was able to experience some of the glory the DLCs were !
Lmao I remember that was me with Skyrim, I got my mom to get me the legendary edition since it had the dlcs when I had the original m because she didn’t want me buying things online. Good times
I love the papafranku meme at the end prod!
A good list. Just my reaction when you started the music though makes it clear to me I'll swap 1 and 2. Old Hunters is just the best. I do enjoy Gael more than any of their bosses, but Midir and Demon Prince (and Halflight) rank below the likes of Ludwig, Orphan and Maria to me for sure. I also always have a soft spot for remixed zones, like the Nightmare Cathedral Ward. It's also why Artorias of the Abyss would swap with Old Iron King for my own list. I did like seeing the reference to DkS2 in the Ringed City big amalgamation for a similar reason, but it's nowhere near as significant as the DkS1 and BB DLCs which are literally based on the same areas, but done in interesting ways. That said Old Hunters is at it's best outside of that segment, but it's still something I liked about it.
Honestly I'd probably put Ivory King above Ashes of Ariandel as well. It's certainly not great and has some of the lowest lows, and I honestly don't even really like Ivory King due to how tedious the start segment is, but the way the exploration works, how the ice disappears after you reach the end changing up the exact same locations you've just been exploring, including the obvious frozen mimic which I always found quite amusing, and even just small parts like the fact you can just go fight Aava while he's invisible if you want. It has a lot of touches to it I just really like. On the flip side, Ashes of Ariandel only really has Friede and some interesting weapons going for it in my opinion. I mean I quite liked the big vikingy dudes I forget the name of, but they aren't interesting to fight either. Wolves, flies, trees, gravity. I liked the lore aspect of the Followers being there and also how it expands on the Sable Church, but those don't elevate it from being more of a hassle to explore than actually enjoyable to me.
1. Ringed City
2. Old hunters
3. Eleum loyce
4. Artorias
5. Shulva
6. Brume tower
7. Painted world
all are awesome tho
The ringed city was so goddamn good. I remember finishing it and legitimately being sad that I would never play new souls content again as ds3 is supposed to be the last one. The end of an era
I have to put Old Hunters at 1 and though a hot take I'm putting Crown of the Sunken King at 2.
Sunken King is just so fun and unique to explore. Sihn is still my favorite dragon fight of the souls trilogy and the only fault in the area for me is Gank Squad. The run up to them isn't bad if you practice your bobbing and weaving.
Ringed City a solid 3rd eventhough Friede is my favorite boss in 3
Soulsbornekiroring:
Prepare to first sin twice
i hope shadow of erdtree can compete with the ringed city
I'll fucking cumbust if it's even just on par.
3:40 Exactly my thoughts. Even though AoTA takes place in the past, I think Shadow of the Erdtree has the potential to have at least a few of the main game bosses get a different opening cutscene, depending on some possible choices you could make in the expansion?
Didnt Miyazaki already said no new endings of Shadow of the Erdtree. I think the only thing we can hope for is that Malenia might pop up if you didnt go to Farum Azula yet.
Souls series feet ranking next? 👀
This is going to be great,im so happy we all can agree that the crown of the sunken king is the best dlc out of all the entire fromsoftware creations
sunken king is dope af
@@firstorderblade4432 cultured person identified
Artorias is my favorite lore wise; but otherwise im more or less in agreement. You know how in any game theres always that one mission, level, area etc. you just dread?
I almost never feel that dread and dispair when it comes to fromsoft dlc.
Sure, im going to die 100 times to that one boss...but im going to love every moment of it
The thumbnail of this video makes me so fucking happy, because i started using soulsbornekiroring waaay back and people were shitting on me for it
Ringed City on top, I had a feeling from the start cause Prod used to use Gael's OST as his outro for the longest time
Nice video as always, cheers. I'm sure ER dlc will be absolutely amazing
Miyazaki has stated that what you do in the DLC has no effect on the base game. Shadow of the Erdtree is basically its own story, separate from the events in the Lands Between
I've finally played Bloodborne, with the dlc ofc, after 4 years since i started playing souls games. Finished my first run about a week ago and since then I've finished it twice for the other endings and man.. as someone who has 100+ hours on DS3 and about 200 on ER, BB to me feels the best. If we're talking about DLC i cant yet decide between Ringed City and Old hunters being my favourite, i need a but more time to digest bloodborne. For now I'll give a slight edge to Ringed City because of Gael and Midir but man, Ludwig, Kos and Maria were some of my favourite experiences of fighting bosses, absolute masterpieces
I went into this expecting Ashes of Ariandel to be praised more when you first started talking about it.
Then I remembered descending that damned tree, and realized I think I've let my love of Sister Friede overshadow some things about the DLC lol.
I literally agree with this list 100%, and I thought I wouldn’t because I always feel like I’m a rare DS3 Appreciator.
I think you mixed up DS3 and DS2.
@@dynamicflashy No, there are people who hate on DS3 and view it as nothing more than an uninspired DS1 fanservice game. Most of the games have their detractors except for Bloodborne it seems, which I'm thinking is a bit overrated since it was a PS4 exclusive.
@@megavolt67100%
@@megavolt67 Yup I'm one of them, Ds3 feels so bland and lacks the innovation and immersion the other games have.
I understand the fact that you feel like DS3 is more than just DS1 fanservice, but saying it's rare to appreciate DS3??? It's literally like complaining about white racism, DS3 is used for most of the fanbase to shit on the other games and called "The best souls game" for mpst people, the people who criticize it are honestly way too few for the amounts of issues the game has, but apprrcisting DS3 is in no way rare
Just yesterday I played DS3 in Ring City and just love that DLC And I'm happy to say that it's still very active
Eh, I like The Old Hunters the most, it has far better area and level design than TRC. All 3 areas are classics. Base game Bloodborne has 15 main weapons, TOH adds 11 more (and 2 transformations), it's to the point where it is an integral part of game and Bloodborne feels incomplete without it.
So disappointed we never got a Sekiro DLC where we fight Lady Tomoe, Kingfisher, Dogen, or Sekijo in his prime.
I loved the weapons, armor and bosses. But man I thought the first area was neat in concept, but I didn’t care for it. Just wanted to get through it to see if that was all they had. Luckily I thought the hospital asylum place and fishing hamlet were pretty sweet, more so the asylum. Those shark dudes were rough lol. But yea ultimately, I really don’t think it adds as much depth and finality as TRC did. It had great weapons, armor, patches little quest which was nice, and the bosses were fantastic. Old hunters however did have the best boss music for sure
Great video. I hope that Shadow is the best DLC, but it has some big shoes to fill. The Ringed City was phenomenal as an end to the Dark Souls series. It's basically a love letter to the series with it having elements from every game. It has the Harvest Valley windmills!
Idk I feel like Elden ring is going to be way better
a thing that i think is worth mentioning in regards to the ds2 dlcs: the extra dungeons and bosses(blue smelter demon, gank squad, ludd&zallen) were actually areas acccessible to everyone back when the dlcs launched, including people who didn't buy them.
including people who dind't buy them.
yup, really a great way to convince players to buy the ldc don't you think? 🙃
I can't wait for Shadow of the Erdtree.
Still waiting on that Sekiro DLC, its gonna be fire!
Sekiro GOTY 2024
id definitely switch old hunters for ringed city if it were me but i do get why others would disagree, compared to their main games they're an equal improvement. i used to prefer ds3 so i would've said ringed city, but now that im more experienced than i care to admit in all of the games, i think ds3 falls a bit short coz idk if it's just me but i've never enjoyed traversing areas in that game. the main game and both dlcs get hard carried by the amazing bosses, with most playthroughs feeling like a boss rush with the areas as chores in between, whereas bloodborne has equally great bosses and the areas are really engaging. i tried going back to ds3 recently and by the time i got to the farron swamp i was bored, when i normally love replaying games
I agree with everything you say the areas suck besides a few like archdragon peak and the dlc’s but almost every main area in that game i don’t like very much without the good bosses ds3 is easily the weakest world design
@@Jbswe the weird thing is i honestly don't know what it is about the areas that's so bad. most of them look good, the enemies are all fairly unique, and there isn't a lot of bs like ds2. it just feels strangely monotonous every time
Bloodborne has mostly boring or annoying areas. The Hunter’s Dream, the city parts of Central Yharnam, and the Cathedral Ward are cool; Iosefka’s Clinic is decent; the two Nightmare areas though along with Yahar’gul, Old Yharnam, the Forbidden Woods, Lecture Building, Upper Cathedral, and the sewers of Central Yharnam are all either uninteresting or just flat-out tedious to go through. The same thing goes for the majority of the chalice dungeons. Even worse is that most of them lead to a mediocre boss. Cainhurst Castle and Byrgenwerth are both mid. The Hunter’s Nightmare is basically just a smaller reskin of the Cathedral Ward, the dungeons are pretty mid, the Research Hall is like a larger more tedious version of the Lecture Building, and the Fishing Hamlet mostly just gets carried by the fact that it’s unique and leads to Orphan. It still has pretty shitty areas within it though and not to mention some of the worst ganks in the series. In general most of the Old Hunters has shitty ganks and its areas are mostly carried by having actual good bosses in them. Not to mention that Bloodborne as a whole gets hard carried by its DLC.
@@handzofstone1152 bb it a lot of a better game with dlc I agree but did you call cainhurst mid? I like that area and boss a lot it’s just so cool over there
@@handzofstone1152 if you don't enjoy it then fair enough, out of all the fromsoftware games its the most polarising. but tbh most of what you said sounds pretty subjective, i have no idea what horrible ganks you're referring to or why those areas in particular are tedious compared to the others, and if you think half the game is garbage then why are you even playing it lol. i do have a bias coz its my favourite from game, but even when that wasn't true coz i was terrible at it, i was still really engaged. objectively the areas are very interactive and complex with great storytelling, the enemies punish you for bad play without feeling unreasonable when you do things right, and as long as you actually enjoy the gameplay then there isn't a lot wrong with any of the areas. and sure the chalices are mid with mid bosses but they're purely optional areas added as a free bonus for anyone wanting more content, they don't bring down the quality of the game since you never need to go in them. my point isn't that bloodborne is perfect or you can't have an opinion, its totally valid not to enjoy it, but just because you don't like it personally doesn't mean it's objectively terrible. elden ring was way less fun for me personally than ds3 and bloodborne coz i didn't like a lot of the ways they went with it, that doesn't mean i think it's a bad game it's just not for me

Big ups for doing a list, great vid ! ! Cheers 🍻
Disguising Cookie as an Alien, that was hilarious.😂
Liking the video for that sick Demon Souls burn
Ds2 feels to me like it was more about the "obstacles" that stand before you on your journey. Taken to the exteme in a way that adds insult to injury.
Also Sekiro released DLC. Just think about the boss rush mode and the Boss challenges with new outfits as reward. Absolutely noteworthy XD XD XD
Yeah it’s pretty obvious that Artorias is modeled off of Buts from Gerserk
It may take years, it may take centuries
But one day, we'll get that Tomoe DLC for Sekiro
And what a glorious day that will be
I love the DLC’s of these games. And the games themselves. And this was a lot of fun! I agreed with some, disagreed with some, but that was fun! You should do another one of these for like a year after the Elden Ring DLC comes out so that way the hype dies down
Old Hunters better be Number 1
I'd give it to Old Hunters simply because of the atmosphere. Also I think the ringed city has equally good bosses but since I enjoy the combat in Bloodborne more, the fights are just simply more fun, if that makes sense.
Ashes of Ariandel? More like, Asses of Ariandel.
Common Prod W… i might lean towards the old hunters over ringed city but it’s very very close
not you showing sif's whimper and me crying 😢
7. Ashes of Ariandal
6. Crown of the Iron King
5/4 (Tied). Artorias of the Abyss/Crown of the Sunken King
3. Crown of the Ivory King
2. The Ringer City
1. The Old Hunters (best DLC in any game ever)
Old Hunters kinda saved Bloodborne for me. Wasn't a fan of the mechanics, most of the bosses weren't impressive, areas weren't interesting, but the lore was really cool. Old Hunters fixed all if that. If grinding (without PS Plus) wasn't such a pain I'd love to replay it just to get to the DLC again.
That sekiro jab hurt man!
Really appreciate the list even though I would put Artorias of the abyss a bit higher.
Amazingly edited video!!
16:42
Why I lov u Prod.
Personally I'd swap Old Hunters and Ringed City. But mostly it's because they have the best version of Moonlight GS in there.
I think thematically they are on par. RC is the end to the sweeping epic that is the DS series. It's appropriately grand in kind. OH is a smaller story that tries to find solace after injustice on a scale which cannot be atoned for. Kinda fitting for our current historical moment.
Both very different but both effectively executed, in my view.
SotE has some big expectations to meet. I think that ER is the best thing From have ever done to date. It is fractally complex and everybody wants something different from the DLC. I'm actively trying to temper my expectations because I know that they will not explain everything I want explained. But damn is it hard.
I’ve never played any dark souls game start to finish, played a bit of DS3 and loved it but bro the Old Hunters is the greatest DLC of all times, Ludwig is the best boss in all of video games for me
how can you say this when you haven't played the others???
Artorias of the Abyss is my favorite so far, cuz of the story and the lore it provides the main game. And it gave us the legendary Artorias aka Miyazaki's in game stand in.
careful, if you continue down this road youll be making top 100 weapons in elden ring part 2 by the end of the year
The only thing I disagree with is Ashes of Ariandel. That DLC needs to be under the garbage bin. The ONLY good thing about that DLC was Sister Friede, and she wasn't THAT good.
I remember everyone being upset when that DLC came out, because it was so short and there were only 2 bosses and one of them was absolute garbage.
I'd take the gank boss from Crown of the Sunken King over the Greatwolf from Ashes of Ariandel.
I personally rank sunken king dlc much higher. I love the verticality in the level, and it's the only time souls games did some actually clever puzzles. I liked being able to use bow to shoot levers and stuff. Was dissapointed in elden ring in the inverted tower that when I shot the lever at top of the tower with bow, nothing happened. Anyways sunken king was like they were experimenting mixing more zelda into souls. The traversal of ivory king dlc is also interesting, as you basically go through the map twice first frozen and then unfrozen. I do agree with your sentiment with the ashes of ariandel, friede alone carries that dlc for me. I think ringed city is overrated though, I don't like the map progression, midir is boring endurance boss for me, demon prince and gael are pretty much the only cool thing about it, demon prince being one of my favorite bosses.
I wonder if they are just making a dlc for each ending.. or if they will go for godfreys timeline.. ER is so easy to get hooked into.
Gravity death counter, day 793. 0 Deaths in this video, 48 deaths this year.
sif's cutscene always breaks my heart :(
Bloodborne still to this day has my favorite DLC
Souls-borne shadows ring twice
DLC endign affecting main game. well I was thinking. in SotE is Miquella. He tried to solve 3 problems
1) Malenias problem with Rot
2) his ethernal youth
3) death of Godway and if there is way how to reverse it
so I would say after we do ending (maybe specific) we may gain item that we shall use at Malenia boss room at her bloom and maybe it will heal her
I can't believe you still gave some minor compliments to Elana after what you went through in your SL1 run.
Prod as usual keeping it real with the objectively correct tierlist. Huge W.
Ds2 DLCs were pretty amazing. Honestly, all.soulsborne dlc are top quality. And then there's ashes of ariandel hahaha
Yeah man everyone talks about the frigid outskirts but iron passage was worse for me personally. I almost rage quit the game haha
Boss tier list would be fun
Omg Tiny Prod voice is hilarious lmao
Ay yo what was going on with that Midir fight?
Old Hunters is my favorite DLC because bloodborne is my favorite Fromsoftware game apart from Sekiro and maybe Elden Ring. Sekiro not having a proper DLC is still so sad to me!
Ashes of Ariandel is easily the worst DLC fromsoftware has made, It's extremely short, the level design is mediocre with mostly just swamps, and It's just disappointing compared to the main game, the only great think about it is Sister freide.
Im so hype for dragons dogma 2 its gonna get me through the whole time until the DLC
I'd put every single ds2 dlc way above ds3's dlc lol.
Ds3 dlc brought interesting areas, but dogshit bosses. It brought some of the most bs bosses (Friede), tedious bosses with some of the worst hitboxes in the series (Midir), or straight out forgettable bosses (the twin demons, or the last boss from ringed city, Gaelic or something, forgot his name).
IMO only borderline decent boss was the the big wolf in Ariandel.
So I'd rank them like so:
1 - Old Iron King
--- Everything was perfect with this DLC. The area was amazing, the regular enemies were great, the bosses were some of the best in the series. Really can't find even one flaw with this one.
2 - ER DLC (it's out as of writing this)
--- I would honestly have put it at nr. 1, if not for it's over reliance on bs moves, 234626 hit combos, stupidly delayed attacks that make no sense (that they even put on 90% of the regular enemies) and just an empty feeling map.
3 - Artorias dlc
--- Visually amazing, but the regular enemies were IMO crap, with just a few good ones. The bosses were generally good, but I'd put Manus as S tier, Artorias as A tier, and Kalameet as B tier, not that great. The sanctuary guardian was IMO dogshit.
4 - Old Ivory King
--- Beautiful area with great exploration, but pretty bad regular enemies, and 2/3 are average bosses, with the Ivory King being an SS tier boss IMO, but it can't really drag the score up too much.
5 - Old Sunken King
--- The area is not that good. It looks too bleak, but has lots of secrets, which is nice. Has good regular enemies, but 2/3 average bosses, and an S tier dragon boss. Not much more to say about it.
6 - Ringed city
--- Beautiful areas with random nonsensical throwbacks to ds2, pretty average and forgettable bosses though. Only good boss was Midir, and even it relied almost exclusively on tedium. Honestly can't remember much about the twin demons and Gaelic, since they died way too quickly and weren't interesting in the slightest. The area as I mentioned is amazing, but the dogshit regular enemies in the area make it a complete slog.
10 - Ariandel
---- Where do I even start, this dlc was a dumpster fire xD the only redeeming things about it are the area, which is beautiful (I'm biased towards snowy locations), and the wolf boss. Everything else was IMO just bad, with the regular enemies being just random crap that's both badly designed and forgettable, and one of the worst bosses in ds3 with that Friede woman that has 3 phases. She's the worst of both worlds: visually she's garbage, and has the difficulty curve of Malenia, but relying on bullshit and bad hitboxes, as opposed to the organic difficulty of Malenia.
Yes, there's a 4 slot jump between Ringed City and Ariandel, I think it's that much worse :)))
Don't really give a shit about bloodborne dlc, since I don't play console exclusive shit out of principle.
Think you got that pretty spot on man
Imo Artorias of the Abyss is the best DLC, I haven't played Bloodborne :( but I really don't like the areas in Ashes of Ariandel and Ringed City both DLC have some amazing bosses but it really feels like I am just running for 10 minutes to get to the good part every time I play it where Artorias of the Abyss is consistently good imo. As for ds2 dlc I actually only finished sunken king because I just got bored and annoying at brume tower. But they pretty much give me the same feel as ds3 dlc just worse enemy placement
This is the only game I have ever pre ordered , this is the only game company that has ever been as good as the hype
I hope Boc has some sort of role his story kinda just fades off if you do "good" path i never could find him after a certain point in the quest
100% agree. Loved this!
No, ashes over ivory king and sunken king is criminal. Ashes SUCKS HORRIBLY. I’d stake forbid outskirts any day over it. The entire main area of eleyum loyce is so much more fun to explore than ariandel. The underground pyramids of Shulva are much cooler and sin and elana are dope. When you look at those two dlcs as a whole and then look at ariandel. It does everything people hated about them. GANKS, BLINDING SNOW (but with tons of wolves and knights this time), etc. the rotted town isn’t really fun to go through with the corvians acting like a prototype of the royal revenant and the bug section is just a short time consumer. Friede doesn’t make up for a whole dlc.
fr bro level design of Shulva and Eleum Loyce is way better than Ariandel (i fucking love exploring Eleum Loyce the second time, when you clear the blizzard and recruit the soldiers). And while Friede is a top 5 boss of all time for me, Ivory King is my top 1 lol.
Ringed city was so goated man... i just wish elden ring gives us ringed city 3.0
12:07 what song is this please
It's awesome how FromSoft NEVER misses with their games, and they ALWAYS score home runs with their DLCs. It's like magic!
I heard that the dlc is expected to take about 30 hours to complete 100% of it, can someone please correct me
I feel like the crosn of the iron king and artorias of the abyss need to switch places
Sekiro DLC was the gaunglet modes, the story was solid and would be hard to built more into a very story driven game where the endings involve someone important dying, disappearing or becoming part of someone else.
The "save sif + special cutscene" in DS1 is so sad!
Friede is way better than Maria . I find Lady Maria to be super overrated
What about FFXVI? I know there were streams of it, I am telling you that your missing out on that game. Pretty sure Prod has yet to encounter those two bossfights.
I'm a Lady maria enjoyer and not a Friede fan (I always find friede a little too random, like, even when I do exactly the moves to counter her patterns, there's a thing that doesn't work and kill me, and we will not talk of backstab her, almost impossible)
Here's my ranking of DLCs
1- Old Hunters (Bloodborne is my 2nd favorite game of all time, and the dlc is one of the reasons, because, even the living failures are fun to fight I think, and like for Artorias, I love the fact that there's a build up of Ludwig, it give to his fight so much more impact)
2- Ringed City (best end to dark souls, the concept of last is really cool because we fight the last demon of dark souls (underrated boss btw) the last dragon (that WE hunt for once, and he isn't crippled like the others) last person alive)
3- Artorias of the abyss (on a lore level it's a really cool one, especially with Artorias himself, and I love exploring Oolacile, it has an ambient that I love)
4- Crown of the Ivory king (Burned Ivory King is my favorite boss of ds2, and even if fighting 3 tigers and having the shittiest area of all souls games is an issue, I really love the castle and the lore of it)
5- Crown of the Iron king (Fume knight and Sir Alonne are great, the exploration too, but the smelter demon is annoying and there's this room where you have the obligation to be fucked by everyone while opening the door)
6- Crown of the Sunken king (I do like Sihn and the exploration, but rest of the bosses aren't that good (especially the queen, due to the fact that she call a end game boss and that he can spawn back 10s after you defeated him wich isn't fun)
7- Ashes of Ariendel (I don't hate this dlc, I like him, but only two bosses with friede being a boss I'm not fan of when the dlc is based on her make him my least favorite of all, and I'm not a pvp player so the arena doesn't really matter for me)
I love all of From Software DLC, and I can't wait to be 21st june
Get good, Friede is awesome
@@Salieri01 Friede would be awesome if learning her pattern was useful, wich is less useful that pure luck, thing I do not appreciate in a boss fight
Possible hot take: Shulva is my favorite ds2 dlc
7:30 like a WHAT???
I would say Artorias > Old Iron King just because the Sir Alonne runback is a warcrime.
Sekiro didn't get any dlc its was quite disappointing for me since it's at In the first 5 fromsoftware game I play since kings field
