I wanted to know how the fight progressed. This was going to be hard.Ĭurious to learn more about the fight’s mechanics, I left my summon sign on the ground. Alongside the painting guardian, they tore me to pieces.

They were a dangerous knight, using sword techniques that tossed magical gouts of fire across the ground and unleashed a wild flurry of sword attacks unlike any I’d ever seen.

The first time I tested my mettle in this fight, the Judicator summoned a spirit named Aragon. The AI is amazing it feels like fighting another player. He calls forth what appears to be one of the painting guardians from Dark Souls, a relic of the past ripped right out of the first game to battle you here. A towering giant, Judicator Argo, laments you foolishness and calls forth a loyal warrior to punish your transgression. The stage is set as you enter the church. Outside, there’s a stone slab that asks for offerings similar to the spots where other covenants can offer items for rewards. The church in the valley houses the next boss and it seems likely that you will have to fight a servant of Filianore, the aforementioned daughter of Gywn. A major focal point in the level design is a lone church at the bottom of a valley. The Ringed City is where Gywn’s youngest daughter resides, guarded by a fell dragon and loyal servants called Spears of the Church. It is a beautiful setting that weaves together the design of Dark Souls kingdoms past like Anor Londo and Drangleic. The second boss fight is not just the best of the DLC, it is the most intelligent encounter in the series.Īfter defeating the Demon Prince, players make their way into the Ringed City. Environments rip and tear previous games to cobble together a beautiful world, involved quest lines weave fascinating tales, and exciting boss fights provide a satisfying challenge. Dark Souls 3‘s last piece of DLC is remarkably strong.
