The whole DLC was beautiful and incredibly vibrant (even if the enemies were brutal at times, looking at you, Staircase Street From Hell) and wrapped up all the narratives of the game and series perfectly. Gael was the best boss of any Souls game that I think I've ever played, no game combat has ever felt like that before. Something about the fight was so intuitive and real that I never wanted it to end; I genuinely didn't want to beat him and for it to be over. My jaw was on the floor the whole time. Seriously, no boss has ever reached that level, the design was just incredible and the absolute culmination of DS3's hard but fair and patently beatable bosses. Amazing crowning jewel to the series.
