I have a feeling Miyazaki read Uzumaki sometime during the development process of this DLC.

old monk was a masterpiece

Just beat the DLC. Took me about 7 hours (some of which was pvp), and I didn't summon once.
Solid 8/10 for me. Not as good as ToH, but at least right now I'm confident in saying that gameplay-wise it's easily the second best DLC From has done so far. The music and presentation are just fantastic as well. It's a damn shame about the way it ends, but for me that doesn't drag the gameplay down. I also thought it was extremely fitting that Patches is the only one to make it with us to the very end, and I thought his final betrayal and monologue was a great send off, especially considering that ultimately he got the last laugh. Having the Miyazaki analogue be with the player right until end of the series was a good decision.
Truth be told, I had fun, /dsg/. I'll miss you guys if this general ever dies.
Thanks for reading my blog post

So would Lorefags be happy if Gael's healthbar changed to say PUPPET OF THE DARK SOUL -GAEL in the final phase?
Oliver Reyes
This area is comfy!
Liam Walker
I'm at 120 pure strength build and plan to go up to 150, what should I invest in? Could I do faith? Would it be worth it?
James Brooks
I killed Gael but I never met Lapp. Can I still do his questline?
Easton Brooks
No
Blake Price
Didn't know this was a thing
Jackson Howard
i want it to say Cuck Soul
Gavin Myers
just stick to the obvious cover while they're firing and jump down the right side path It's not that hard desu
Dominic Bell
You might be right, he also watched Shin Godzilla.
Juan Nelson
FINALLY fucking solo'd Mildir on NG+3 after I don't know how many goddamn times.
Boss fights used to give me a feeling of accomplishment. Now I just feel glad I got the shit out of the way already.
>mfw I forgot to give Ludleth the Transposition shit to get boss weapons this playthrough >mfw he is dead and cannot interact with him until next NG cycle
James Martinez
I never thought you can make a fight against an old bearded man so cool.
Jonathan Miller
Not even. I mean the boss fight with him was fun, but like others said, he felt like the Artorias of the DLC as in the penultimate boss. It just doesn't feel right. Like something was missing.
Jose Flores
Complete his storyline.
Colton Anderson
SL40 +3 on PC, trying to beat dancer so I can get through to Oiceros and get the moonlight greatsword. Anyone willing to help? I'll pay in (you)s.
Pass is dsg

>stupid angels that's literally there to artificially increase the DLC length for the first playthrough >damage sponge giants you need to plunge attack 50 different times because "rook we made new animation" >HP sponge bosses ESPECIALLY in NG++ and higher to make hardcore players think the DLC was longer so they dont complain >2 voicelines for an ending >just paint a new world in the ruined world dood, it's up to your intrepetation not us leaving a chance to make a new Dark Souls 10 years later when our other IPs fail
Miyazaki shills that started Soulsbornes with BB will defend this and call me a DS2fag

Jesus fuck, why is gael such a tank?

are you me
I mean I needed to go to another cycle to get the other boss weapons but fuck me
Thomas Sanchez
Gave painter the blood anything else after this? Isn't gael supposed to have a thire phase?

Juan Morales
What are the motivations of the pygmies (if any)? Are they for or against the Dark Age? If they're for, they sure don't seem to be doing much about it given they seem quite content to be tucked away in the city.
James Hughes
Is it still canon that consuming hueg souls makes you hueg?
John Bell
You guys weren't bullshitting me. What the fuck
Landon Murphy
Gael needed to either go Pus of Man at some point, or have the Dark Soul itself come out of him and start a second boss fight.
James Cox
Give me tips on how to find the angel summoners.
Luke Morales
Same. God fucking dammit I rushed NG+ just for the DLC and realized way too late that I didnt give Ludleth the kiln.
Nolan Brown
>touch some egg >get sent somewhere, no one knows what is going on >she is dead >go back to when you touched the egg >she is gone
What did they mean by this? No seriously, what the fuck is going on?
But why did the young version disappear?
So her spell was going on over the entire world?
Brandon Mitchell
>Gave painter the blood anything else after this? that it. the humanity thing & new covenant boss if you haven't
Hudson Sanders
I would appreciate it as a token gesture at least, but that speaks less of how good a finale that would be and more or how little the DLC currently ties things up.
Liam Rodriguez
Spear of the Church is literally the most fun I've ever had with this game
Joshua Jenkins
It's not that far to turn the thing back off once you get the Old King's Antechamber bonfire. Just get past the fireball room gauntlet, run past some rats, run past the Basilisks, 1v1 the Black K***ht and then you just have some skeletons in your way.
It's a total of perhaps 3 enemies you absolutely have to fight (you can maybe skip the Black K***ht as well if you bait him to the other side of the bridge and then book it).
Kayden Jackson
>each demon has like 10k life in NG+7 >demon prince has the same but takes something like 50% less damage
this is some horse shit
Jayden Brooks
*ignites sword*
Colton Turner
what is this called pls
Chase King
You can actually walk onto the rooftops in Normandy. You just have to look out for where the whores are.
Matthew Gray
the young version was sustained by the spell, and you broke it you dingus
Christopher Sullivan
Yes, because Gael became super hueg after an enternity of eating pygmies.
Grayson Harris
Did you not even glance at the file name?
Camden Moore
Sadly that does nothing
Daniel Morgan
me too. untrue dark plus painted guardian set. the moment they realize youre not AI is the best.
Henry Johnson
told you, you faguette
Angel Sanders
pls respond
Owen Morales
you broke spell and got teleported to future somehow
Isaiah Nguyen
Who would win in a fight? Gael the Anime Superhero or Artorias the Edgelord?
Austin Campbell
How?
Carson Collins
Yeah, I think they patched it in. Before only the boss arena was on fire.
Tyler Martinez
So when you and Gael are fighting over the Dark Soul at the very edge of both time and space, would there theoretically be version of yourself and the firekeeper sitting around at wherever the Kiln happened to be upon the Dreg Heap's collapse, watching your past self fight? >yo babe watch this sicc dodge, you'll love it, trust me? >b-but shouldn't we go help yourself? >nah I got this, trust me, I did it the first time and knowing me I'd just attack myself anyway.
Juan Garcia
thx
Owen Williams
>this is how the saga of Dark Souls ends >so many lose ends never tied up >so many questions unanswered >so much potential that will never be realized
Why
Blake Reyes
>Ariandel had nothing for me, aside from banging fashion >Splitleaf Greatsword is less fun than the Champ The dlc is shit SHIIIT
Aiden Cook
>didn't start AoA before TRC uhhhh...
William Johnson
The first one you can actually snipe from before the drop down. You see a beacon of light around him when he summons, that tells you that he's the source of your problems.
The second one isn't until you get near the bonfire before the area boss, so you have to put up with that angel until the end. The third one is on the far left side of the poison swamp, at the top of some roots and rooftops (you can get a clear shot at him with arrows too)
Dylan Powell
>find purging monument >Tell Lapp its location >Realize how much he sounds like Patches Gee, I hope this doesn't bite me on the ass
Gavin Long
uh what. press A.
Jackson Campbell
Anyone go back to the beginning of the DLC after finishing it? Stone-hump Gramma is dead, and her ashes imply some stuff
Jace Bennett
>loose ends not tied up MUH VELKA MUH GWYNEVERE
>>>/youtube/
Jack Reed
Based only on the movesets, Gael would floor Artorias. The fucker moves like Phase 2 Vordt but with insane range and almost no wind up to his attacks. That's only on Phase 1. Phase 2 Gael is fucking Van Helsing.
Owen Price
The sick gains of gael are the winners
Austin Davis
Spoil me True Ending.
Evan Morgan
i dont see anything new to buy after handing over the ashes.
Kayden Gomez
It's better that way, in all honesty.
Jace Hall
>Alright awesome. I wonder what the awesome end result i- Oh. oh
Owen Walker
>story in video games
Ryan Taylor
My only major complaint with TRC is that there's nothing after Gael Why do they even give you the dark blood if you don't actually get anything once you give it to the painter I was honestly expecting one more boss to really end the game with a bang, since Gael didn't quite feel like the end, but I guess not
Asher Price
Why would you think any of these things would happen? Have you not learned by now how the series works?
Ian Allen
I'm surprised you didn't realize by the time he started telling you about a treasure he convienantly didn't take for himself.
Ryan Morris
No, because one we've established that you're not actually at the end of time during that, and two because you are the instance of yourself that exists at the end of time from your time period.
Josiah Richardson
Gael's buildup and the fight were great, but it doesn't feel like a proper "definitely final content of Souls series going out with a bang" ending. Nowhere near, say Soul of Cinder fight, the several ending cutscenes and credits roll music.
Painter should've given us some more closure considering how central of a character she was, but its just few lines of dialog amounting to simple thanks and her painting stays just as vague as it was when AoA was first announced. That is unless people find out it unlocks some super secret mindblowing shit.
Cameron Williams
Yeah, but two of the enemies you have to fight are those floaty shotel bastard skeletons. There is no other enemy in the game I have as much trouble with as those, their moves just completely throw me off.
Brayden Jones
>so many lose ends never tied up >so many questions unanswered its better this way to be honest making sequels in the first place was a mistake
Hudson Perez
Literally just speak to him.
Alexander Brooks
there's no ending. now youre spoiled.
Joseph Phillips
after you kill Gael and give the painter the dark blood, is there anything else or is that the whole DLC?
Carter Turner
>First invader didn't render in and was invisible yeah, that was great
Daniel Butler
They didn't have enough time to scrub their DLC update of the cut DLC content. There's not going to be anything mindblowing in this one.
Wyatt Powell
>No, because one we've established that you're not actually at the end of time during that Who is "we" and I never remembered any such consensus, nor have I heard any alternatives
Landon Barnes
THE PRINCESS IS SLEEPING
KEEP IT DOWN
I can't wait to visit the Painted World of XxPu$$yK***htxX in Dark Souls 4!
Michael Myers
Guys, guys. Anyone willing to put up a petition to have From release a Dark Soul boss fight?
Seriously, it just cant end like this.
Nolan Rivera
>Isn't gael supposed to have a third phase? He does, the third phase just doesn't have its own opening cutscene like the second one does. Third phase starts and his moveset changes when he blows up for the first time.
Elijah Morgan
It's actually a crime that it took until the last DLC for From to put a weapon as fun as the Ringed Knight Paired Greatswords in the game
Alexander Wood
Why'd they have to give the worst boss the best theme?
Connor Gonzalez
Anybody else notice that they only get summoned by warriors? I never get summoned by mages or clerics
Gabriel Hughes
I dont even 1v1 the knight, i just sit at the corner of the bridge and wait for him to attack, he falls down and has to run back up
its actually how I beat tsorig.
Aaron Lewis
Same. Looks like she really did have nothing. Bravo From.
Jackson Rogers
Yeah happened to me too Also now there is angel patrolling in that area that doesn't attack unless you shoot it I killed it with a bow, it doesn't respawn until you hit the bonfire, you also get nothing from it
Andrew Torres
Ok listen the fuck up, here's THE QUESTIONS for you. What lore questions did this dlc answer? We got told nothing new about the dark soul, or am i retarded? Gael just got fukked by it, so we man-moded this shit, and allowed the pale girl to draw a nwe world. That's it? That's the grand closure?
Also, does ending change (please for the love of god dont tell me how it changes, just yes/no is enough) and if so - which one of 3?
Asher Myers
Who the hell is this artist? I see hisher lewds all over the place
Jeremiah Scott
>threads moving to fast 3rd time I ask this reeeee Katana or Sorcery from Midir when I'm dex/int?
Joshua Jackson
This is better than some ridiculous fanservice ending where you fight Dark Gwyn the lord of the shadow cinder or some bullshit.
That said, i do think that Gael shouldn't have been the final boss, something else should've been the final boss, i don't know what though.
