Now THIS has what Dark Souls 3 is missing which is adding meaningful additions from DS2, DS1, AND having its own cool shit. Although I wish it was more than just Earthern Peak, Dreg Heap is a genius idea of having architectural iconography from the series. The Ringed City itself is a beautiful place.

The bosses are all bangers. I think its fun to kite around the 2 demons and the second phase is cool. Midir is a dope motherfucker with moves that are punishing as fuck, but satisfying once you got them down. Gael is Gael, you know what it is. Church boss might be the only lame one since I had to play offline, but I also fear playing against a real person.

And of course, its got the Lapp plot for ultimate kino

A pretty much airtight way to end the series.

yeah even though I liked DS3 even with all the callbacks and shit, this is like a perfect ending to both the main game and the trilogy in general. Wished it didn't contain another swamp area doe

I think its kind of funny, like when the world is on the utter brink of collapse there will ALWAYS be a poison swamp. I bet there is still one at the end of time, the one true constant.

He doesn't though, he gets the treasure for you if you don't grab the slab in the swamp, and when he kicks you down, he is pointing you in the right direction. The other way of the stairs is a constant loop, so he you kicks you down the right way. Other times he kicks you he is hoping you die so he can loot your corpse, but he genuinely doesn't care about material goods anymore and just wishes you good luck.

Oh yeah, that's right. This ending is more meta than I thought previously lol
