Ashes of Ariandel | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

i dont have the dlc yet but i want to get it mostly for the crow quills/talons lol they seem badass

Submit

The only thing I don't like about this DLC is the wolves and Norse guys in the snow. Just seem boring and unnecessary. Maybe the snow areas could of been empty / barren just to add to the atmosphere. Everything else is top notch. Vilhelm, Corvian village, flies under the church, Friede boss battle... it's all great.

Submit

im pretty sure you can also access ashes of ariandel after ringed city

Submit

I used homeward bone and traveled out of the DLC without stopping by any bonfire, I went back and the guy is no longer there. How can I re-enter the DLC again?

Submit

i homeboned my way out of the DLC without stopping on a bonfire. The guy is not there anymore, how can i access this DLC again?

Submit

DLC that reminds me of poo number 1 out of 2

Submit

i actually llike the dlc it is good.

Submit

Giant dead tree in a snowy area, colosseums, rot everywhere, bunch of giant-like Nordics who worship a beast that regrows buds on its horn, giant birds, crabs, and doggos, cantle-like trees, talk of an Ethereal oak and dragons, slavish like guys with red hoods, a place you burn with fire, forlorn (DS2 PTSD), a spell with disks of faith, mentions of Chaos, becoming a mad spirit & sin, cults who wanted to kill the go-Sorry!

I was just muttering myself about Elden Ring.

Submit

I know everyone seems to hate this DLC, but I love it. I got DS3 the year it came out and quit almost immediately because I ran into the ice lizard and it killed me and I was like forget this. I picked it back up last year and have fallen in love with the Souls games since then, beating this one a few times as well as a few of the other games. But what really hooked me to the series was this DLC. This was the first time the story popped for me, and I actually wanted to learn wtf was going on. I just love the world within a painting and how it's a microcosm of the whole Dark Souls themes. It's perfect.

Submit

people who say this DLC is fun are probably the same people who run from a bonfire to another and don't explore

Submit

Lovely place but overall very short dlc

Submit

You can farm Large Titanite Shards early if you're up for the challenge. The Corvid Knight under the bridge near the Corvid Village is very easy to cheese from the ladder a short ways past it. Use your favorite projectile attack with reckless abandon, or go ham with Boulder Heave and the Sage's ring.

Submit

Disliked the dlc after entered once and Meeting the millwood supermans. Each ng just whent in for the ash of the captain. Cent last time i gave it a try. Dlc is short but hard mostly cause of the millwoods for me. Its like fighting a modern mbt with a fry Pan. The rest was ok. Friede was bit hard Till i found out how to conter her vanish move after that it was doable.

Submit

Ds 3 is in my opinion bout to learn enemy behavior abuse chances and be patient for the right moment to strike... this dlc is pure garbage that doesnt fit into ds3. bullshit masses of enemys and insane vikings with endless hp and moves that insta kill ya.

Submit

Hidden body and slumbering dragoncrest ring = a nice walk in the park (mostly)....

Submit

Something tells me the enemy spam and the fact it's nearly impossible to pull aggro from one or two enemies at a time is to make up for how short this DLC is.

Submit

gank souls 3: ganks of ariandel

Submit

By far the worst dlc I've ever played. Glorified suicide runs for loot. Caused me to stop playing ds3 indefinitely.

Submit

If you liked DS2 and its constant 1v10 fights, obnoxious enemy placement and hyper aggressive 2000 HP enemies, boy do I have a DLC for you!

Submit

10% pain 90% feet

Submit

I need help with sister friede teammates?

Submit

The environments are beautiful, and there are some cool weapons, but the amount of annoying and ganking enemies here just makes this seem more like a big chore than a legitimate challenge. There's also only one boss (the other "boss" is just a generic npc with mobs you've already faced before)

Submit

looks pretty, but its just annoying, compared to main game experience it just feels like its designed to fck you up so you *fun* is prolonged... im just glad im through it

Submit

this dlc SUCKS i go to BED

Submit

I just started to play ds3, after playing fo so long ds1 and 2. I got scared after i read the reviews here about this dlc. Anyway i gave it a try at level 70 character quality build with claymore lvl 10 black knight shield lvl 5 and long bow lvl 9. If you take your time and pull one enemy at a time it is possible to pass the area and get lots of good loot. I died a few times of course but it was fun.

Submit

This is the worst DLC in the Souls series in my opinion. Doesn't mean it's bad, it just doesn't stand up to all the other additional content FromSoftware has put out in the other games.

Submit

It is worth it solely for the the sister friede boss and her dope scythe

Submit

Scusate ma io non riesco a trovare l accesso. Ho finito prima the ringed city ma non so da dove si accede

Submit

I've heard the biggest criticism isn't so much the quality as a lack of it. It may not have the most quantity of content, but I think what's there is fairly good. The ice aesthetic is gorgeous, Sister Friede and Father Ariandel are probably the closest things to Bloodborne if you don't have a Ps4/Ps5 to actually play Bloodborne, and a lot of the enemy designs are pretty neat.

Submit

Great. Touch the picture, he said. It'll be fun, he said. I'm at level 31 and have the feeling I'm doomed.

Submit

Is there no information about the first npc in the start cave? The guy that reminds Crestfallen Warrior from DS1.

Submit

Is this worth buying? Someone told me it was bad a while ago, but it looks fun and has some cool weapons.

Submit

Beginner here: so when should I go through this? I assume that most people did it after they beat the base game. But I´m wondering if it pays to do it earlier, since you can right after reaching the Cathedral

Submit

he is inside of a house in the corvian settlement he is like one of those featherless bastards except he talks if you beat the dlc and kill friede and then go back to him he gives you a titanite slab

Submit

Who is "The Crow"? Why are they listed yet i can't find anything on google for them and there isn't a wiki page?

Submit

You read this comment, and you wasted your own time doing so. Nice going.

Submit

Can you not enter the DLC if you kill the npc in the chapel? Cuz I did that

Submit

Can anyone help me I have bought The season pass and installThe dlc and i cant play it

Submit

be wary of good dlc, therefore buy

Submit

what happens if you kill gael?

Submit

Different opinions are often met with hurt feelings rather than sincere understanding of why there's criticism. So with 110% seriousness and sincerity; It's pretty, the combat and terran mix things up, it IS interesting. However it's not worth 15$, 10 max. It's short with only 2 Bosses. It was designed so that your time is spent exploring a few multi-level enviorments and looking for loot. Not time spent on actual content. 2nd) It's INTENTIONALLY designed so that several key items, weapons and access to casteble Frost Aux are placed here. Meaning it's an intentional attempt to remove stuff that should be in the regular game to goad you into buying it. This is barely above microtransaction in my eyes. If you like a game that's great but to understand how it's made means you understand better what you think is good and bad. By the way, DLC was bought for me as a gift. Otherwise I'd refused to let them or buy it all.

Submit

Just downloaded both DLC's but am a bit of way through a play through, up to the catacombs, can i still access the DLC on this playthrough or do I have to start a new one

Submit

When DLCs are made, they're usually designed to be stand-alone experiences. What impresses me more is that both AoA and TRC are both narrative halves of each other. Each stand up on their own with their respective styles and experiences, but together they complete a new chapter. It seems so obvious and novel, but almost no other DLCs are designed to recombine like this.

Submit

Its a painting. Not much but what the eye can see~

Submit

"Uncover the mystery" heh

Submit

I killed the npc in the church (Cause I was curious) Soo, how would you enter the DLC?

Submit

You jelly scrubs?

Submit

Good DLC pretty challenging and decent length

Submit

This DLC sucks, ringed city is actually decent unlike this trash.

Submit

BOSS WEAPONS!!!

Submit

I like Ashes of Ariandel more than The Ringed City.

Submit

So if you go to the dreg heap first. Before you even access the painted world... gael will be gone and you cant access it..

Submit

Anyone else still trying to figure out what that elevator at Snowy Mountain Pass is for?

Submit

i need help some1 add me at ps4 iirohaamu plss

Submit

So in the beginning of the DLC after dying once near the cave you spawn in, I heard humming went back in the cave and found an NPC that no one seems to have listed before. He was sitting on the fly crap and was saying i should lay in it. Anyone know who this is?

Submit

Dont waste money on this

Submit

Ganking World of Ariandel

Submit

They should've merge Ashes of Ariandel with The Ringed City, definetely....we would basically have The Old Hunerts 2.0, as far as the overall quality goes. I mean....6 bosses, a crapload of new stuff, the online feature....if all of this were part of a single dlc, it would have been worth the price...

Submit

what lvl should you be to play in this dlc?

Submit

You get to roleplay Surtr from norse mythology. traveling to another realm and burning the crap out of it. Lit

Submit

If anybody is willing to give me souls (soul of a great champion,etc) to level up my other Characters I'm willing to drop you dlc weapons pm me on psn Yousef_sonoforyx

Submit

The reason why they made the second dlc longer and harder because they did not want to hear everyone bi-tch and complain any more.

Submit

Stop complaining and play the *****ing game. Plus dlc's are not meant to be like another game. Most dlc's are just a new mission and a new area. So stop *****ing how short the dlc is.

Submit

Smallest dlc ever made.

Submit

Include Chillbite ring..

Submit

The box hasn't spawned or the painting and I have both dlc so idk what to do and I need help

Submit

why is this article so worthless? most other stuff on this site is pretty good. how about telling how to initiate the dlc? that should be obvious....

Submit

Do you have to ng

Submit

No level recommendation?

Submit

Anyone have repeated weapons of this dlc i want them psn:mechamobibo

Submit

Someone should come play this game with me. My Xbox name is : KingDizzyYT and I am in need of help!!!

Submit

What's wrong with people who speedrun this as fast as they can, then complain about how short it is?
You cant even enjoy it like that.

Submit

what's the advised level to go there, in normal New Game?

Submit

Loved the DLC however the difficulty was a bit low even on NG+ and it was really much to short. Usually when you want more its a good thing but finishing it blind in under 3 hours felt a bit lackluster, would still recommend though.

Submit

can i acces the dlcs if i have beaten soul of cinder but havent gone into new game plua?

Submit

It's "cleansing chapel" not church...

Submit

I rushed to get to the end of the game to play the ringed city DLC and have just gotten to the slave knight gael boss fight but now i can't enter the first DLC. Any clues as to why this is happening or will killing slave knight gael just close off the first DLC for this playthrough?

Submit

Im having problems with going into the snowfield. It loads but then freezes at the loading screen help please.

Submit

To this day Gael still is not showing up...

Submit

I have wierd symbols(Looks like 3 embers next to each other) next to the bonfire selection, if i try to teleport somewhere. It seem to change which bonfires are affected. Does someone know what they are, and what they do? im really confused.

Submit

Can you summon people into the dlc who don't have it (like in dark souls 2)? And yeah it was a little short for dlc but it added much needed arena- which needs more maps and perhaps other modes that are more akin to d2's arena for team matches

Submit

Bought today ... Finished it in a couple of hours.. got all new stuff.. after seeing what they did in the old hunters i expected much more.. i guess it's always 1 DLC per game but this time they split it in 2 parts just so they could milk us some more.. will think twice before buying next souls game

Submit

Worst DLC FromSoftware has ever released. Glad I got this DLC gameshared.

Submit

I started ng+ a day before I bought dlc. now I'm just at the second boss ng+. do I have to wait until I get to the
cathedral of the deep and talk to npc before I can enter the dlc. the cathedral isn't on my travel log anymore
since I started ng+.
THANKS for the HELP!

Submit

Guys i would like to ask a question. I dowloaded and installed the dlc but when i am not connected to the Internet it says ad on must be installed again. Does it mean i have to be Online to play? Cause that really gets me angry, i mean i dowloaded the thing, why i cannot play when i'm not connected to Internet? Thanks

Submit

i can't enter to the dlc the npc does not show up. does anybody know why?

Submit

I killed all the npcs in NG on the original game...Are there vendors in the DLC?

Submit

I happen to think the 'anime' weapon arts were amazing. I love anime, possibly to the point where I'm considered a weeaboo. I sometimes pretend I'm playing a Dark Souls anime, and the weapon arts just make me feel like a badass. It fits perfectly, and there's no harm in having a few weapons like that.

Submit

weapon arts are too goofy for Dark Souls. This isn't anime territory but they pushed that stuff into it without any need and goes over the top with the DLC weapons. All in all PvP feels old and uninspired. It could be so much more but all they have basically 1v1 in different variations. No capture the flag, king of the hill, castle rush. Nothing. And what is your reward to get gold in the arena? Also nothing. No armor, no weapons. In mmorpgs you call that ultra late game. When there is nothing more to explore or to do and you have to invent events for yourself because lack of content. But in Dark Souls this "ultra late game" begins after 10h...

Submit

Can someone place a summon sign at snowy mountain pass please?

Submit

Place a summon sign at corvian settlement bonfire please, I need help! On PS4

Submit

Can I get some help please? Place summon sign at corvina village bonfire please

Submit

Do you have to start a new game In order to access the DLC or can it be accessed at any time ?

Submit

The Old Hunters DLC was supposed to be 2 part as well. Patience guys. They are taking their time making the DLC worthwhile. You just enjoyed the first half of it. The second is coming and it's gonna be GLORIOUS

Submit

This was crap, only two bosses and practically no story at all, like even less than usual. A half understood story is all very well when you're borrowing books for free miyazaki you prick, not when you're paying 70 quid for a game

Submit

Just a quick question, does the dlc scale with your slvl or do i need to be a high level to be able to have a chance at beating it?

Submit

So I killed the npc.....how *****ed am I?

Submit

Rather disappointed with ashes especially with how better and awesome the bloodborne DLC was. Hell that was almost like s new mini game in itself I just hope they release some more stuff down the track

Submit

DLC was ok... a bit shallow in length, and was also a disappointment in the same regard considering no added trophies on PS4. I'm glad I picked this game up for cheap in Hastings' closing sales, otherwise I'd have felt a little more than hosed for shelling out an extra $15 for one simple level. The landscape, enemies, and items are a minute but pleasant offset to this otherwise trivial addition to DS3.

Submit

Very disappointing, took 5 hours to do everything and killed each boss first time. A complete and total disappointment
