Thread 718267074

For me?
It's Shulva, sunken city

best DLC of the best souls game and it's not up for argument

>>718267116
Iron King was easily the best (and only good) DLC in 2.

>>718267179
Iron King is actual dogshit

Sunken City > Frozen one > Iron King

>>718267074 (OP)
I wish the pyramid interior part was bigger, I don't really care for the initial area even though the platform mechanic itself is neat.

>>718267221
frozen one is pure ass

>>718267074 (OP)
2's DLCs were peak From level design

>>718267309
still better than Iron King

>>718267335
The concept for Eleum Loyce is cool as fuck. You get the option to ignore the dungeon and go straight for the bosses, or do the dungeon to make the bosses easier but not in a lazy way where it just tweaks numbers. No other souls game does anything like that.

I find this area very annoying.
>First DLC I usually go to so my first experience with the much stronger DLC mooks
>The elevator puzzles piss me off especially as somebody who usually goes Faith
>Temple section is very confusing to navigate
>Jester Thomas invasion always fucks me up
>First boss is usually a nightmare
>Sinh is a fun fight besides being covered in acid
I'd probably rank the DLCs Iron>Ivory>Sunken, but I never did the Alonne fight so maybe I'm overrating Iron.

>>718267074 (OP)
More like Vulva, Hysterectomy.

I heard someone say DLCs were tuned for co-op, if so that makes more sense seeing as I only play SOTFS in covenant of champions

awesome area, average enemies, annoying traps
At least the main boss is a fucking riot and then some

>>718267074 (OP)
>Shulva
>Majula
>No-Man's Wharf
>Frozen Eleum Loyce
I'd argue there is more kino in these zones than in all of Dark Souls I combined.

Ds2 is really tragic. If you look at all they wanted to do with it, it could have been a very interesting game, a clear successor to DS1 but with enough unique aspects and mechanics to stand on it's own.
Then we got the game and the execution was such putrid garbage that it ended as one of if not worst in the series.

>>718268015
Only those specific sub-dungeons with the tombs at the entrance are.

>>718268015
The co-op areas are marked by those gravestone looking things. Graverobbers, Blue Smelter, Sir Alonne and double gato are intended for co-op. The rest of the DLCs are normal solo play.

I'm something of the Eleum Loyce enjoyer myself.

>>718267074 (OP)
How does an entire city sink but still stay dry

Iron King > Sunken King > Ivory King
FEL is comfy though and I liked exploring it for hours the first time.

>>718269323
lots of paper towels

>Enter the Eleum Loyce for the 1st time
>Encounter some frozen npc girls shaking in the wind
>They do nothing, just stand here and there
>Feel bad for them
>Try lighting torch to warm them
>It doesn't work
>Search everything around maybe there's some gimmick to save them
>Finally kill the boss and unfroze the DLC
>"Hurray, the girls are saved now"
>They start backstabing me
>mfw

Now that I think about it, I’ve never killed BIK with all the knights. The max I’ve gotten is like 2.

Women amirite

>>718267074 (OP)
Ah yes the DLC everyone forgets exists

Did this zone have the dragon with the spear in it and the fucking AMAZING boss theme? Best theme in Souls for bosses.

>>718267309
Filtered

The snow one sucked. The blizzard area with the reindeer was beyond fucking cancerous and if I remember correctly, the part after that with the two tiger bosses was equally cancerous.

>>718267074 (OP)
its the only aesthetically strong location in dark souls 2, ill give it that. otherwise the art direction in this game was total fucking abysmal generic dogshit.

>>718267335
ive noticed a pattern in DS2fags and using the word "peak" why is that? are you guys a cult?

>>718272023
Like DS2, they think a peak is something underneath the literal lowest, bottomest hell, and are accurately describing the quality of the game

this is, believe it or not, not a PS2.

>>718267074 (OP)
Best dungeon in an already underrated game.
There's way too many monsters at the start of the level, though.

>>718269323
Sump pumps

I love when unfunny ds2haters get zero replies hours later

>>718272023
DS2 is a cult classic yes. Certified kusoge
