Don't mind me, just checking out the month gap between DS3 release and its DLC dates, to get a small idea how long it'd take for Elden Ring :'D
- Anonymous
Hello DS3 player, I am come to you for a little favour, and I will carry this message to everywhere in DS3 community.
There is a glitch that allows you to summon white sign mad phantom in Gael’s Arena (Credit to Dashingsaint), if you keep Shira alived while she invade you (you can escape her simply sprint out her aggro range), you won’t trigger gael boss cutscene, and then you could put down you purple summon white sign or summon other white purple.
Thus, a new fight club is founded, an arena in a long lost dessert under the sunset sky which sprinkle with fainted galaxy.
If you’re watching this, kindly please help me share this and invite any ds3 enthusiast you known to this new fight club, your little effort would be much appreciated.
SL25+2, SL40+4, SL60+6, SL72+8, SL90+10, SL125 Meta, SL 351++, all SL range are acceptable.
Welcome to the Gael’s Sunset Arena, the most beautiful map in the entire series, the last arena at the End of World.
I will await you there, in the End of the World, and we shall fight eternal, shiny and incandescence.
LONG MAY THE DARK SOULS COMMUNITY LIVE

If you weren't allowed to drop dlc items, these weapons would definitely be classified as pay-to-win

This game is challenging indeed but once u figure out the monsters mechanics its not that hard. Tbh its either a very grindy game or a stab an run away repeatedly while either ganking or even soloing for that matter for pve its just timing essentially. Pvp is sort of limited id say sadly everything has to be borderline percise with wat build u want or weapons to use to actually be effective however still very enjoyable (if done right). i feel like the weapons is the only real diversity u feel which gets very boring after the first playthough and even tedious/grindy if u want to expirence that truly feel the diversity by going though the tons of hours to make a new build after ur 5 resets without glitching/cheating which potential gets u banned anyway both which also tank the game in a major way since all of online play is riddled with nothing but hacks and hack people on top of all the bs mentioned above. Graphically and cinematically the game is amazing even the story is amazing i lobe the complicated questlines that intertwine and have u jumping around about its all done fantasticly.. however its also done in a way thays very confusing and can make u miss many things in the game if not done 100% to the T the "right way" but with the combat its either all or nothing in only one direction.
I have put like 90 hours to this game already and can say it's really awesome. But the dlcs? They just look even better, would just fall in love with this game even more if I had them, but I don't have the bucks to spare on it for now and I have no idea when I will have, pandemic hit hard lol. Does anyone have any codes they could spare?

Hi, I played DS3 in the moment there is no DLC until NG++ and then moved out to other games. I want to play now again but buying the game with the DLC it is cheaper that buy DLC separately. So, if I buy DS3 the fire fades edition, do I need to start over o could be played on the same file? Somebody?

both dlcs aere just so bad wich is rather disapointing. The enemies and bosses are really bad designed. They just gave them some special gimmik that is just unfun to play against. Like this little shits in the ringed city that curse you. Then they gave the harder enemies so much health and stupid moves, i just want some good fights, i dont want to stand around and wait so i can drop on herald, wich is the only way to fight them cause as i said they gave them so much health and yeah they just put like 6 in the same place, good look fighting them the regular way. Also that preacher that summons these ghost bowies is so annoying, i dont want to wait and slowly move forward to fight him and once you get to him he just stands there and let him kill you. For the bosses its the same they just gave them a lot of health and they had the great idea so you have to fight 2 at once, WHY? I just play the dlcs in my first run to get the items and ignore them after
TLDR: Dont expect normal ds 3, the enemies are bad designed, they just gave them some stupid special moves and/or a lot of health, same for bosses, where you have to fight 2 at the same time in 4/6 boss fights.

I have the dlc, but a friend doesn't, and he cant summon me. I haven't seen anyone mentioning a restriction on summoning someone with the dlc, so would this be a bug? Or is it "working as intended"?

I first tried this DLC on my NG +7 character. Oh god, I regret so much.
Then I did it in NG. Way more enjoyable.
Gael and Midir are really great fights, but on higher NG+, they really become horrible. Not that much their damages, but their life. You spend 10 minutes on a fight that each mistake kill you. It's ok that they have high damages, because, that force you to dodge and be carefull. But past 5 minutes, it become really boring to always be focused on not being hit.
But well. On NG they are really satisfaying. Their movesets are really nice, their musics are so much epic. That's a great DLC.

There is also Silver Serpent Ring +3.
You have to drop down in the room with the spell Great Soul Dregs.
I found Havel's Ring +3 on a ledge below the entrance to the room where Silver Knight Ledo invades.
Isn't there a Patches related item in the Ringed City DLC (at least according to Vaati's video that shows the top 10 things to know about The Ring City it showed him picking up something called Patches Squat and then talking to the npc who we learn is patches).

I've tried the Ashes DLC but from what I've seen of the Ringed content in the four minute trailer it looks like a more colorful action packed and there's a bad a** boss fight as well with a giant bat, so I think The Ringed City will more than make up for the rather short lived Ashes installment, peace, Fantam 39.

Me = Mucho sad about this release date for 2nd dlc not being out yet. The only thing I can hope for/come up with is is that it's such a late dlc area that they need a lot of time to finish it considering this is the last Dank Souls. So I would assume they gotta make the last content of their last game in the serious, pretty damn good and that's why they are perfect if it. Just hopes and dreams though.
Guys is From Software disappeared? No information for last dlc, no screenshot or when the first trailer will be released. If there is a situation like AoA, the trailer will be released 2 month before the dlc so we can have the last one more or less one year from the release of DS3? Ridiculus. The lost crown dlcs of DSII were released some months after DSII (in the summer) and The Old hunters of BB in november but is a composition of two dlcs according to the words of Miyazaki. And now we must wait an year to the conclusion of DSIII. Good job From Software.

This DLC was fairly disappointing, in the worst cases. It had it's great moments, like Friede, the addition of Undead Matchs, weapons like Valorheart, Onyx Blade <3 and that goddamned Follower's Sabre. It also featured some great level design, aside from the bottom of the painting wich is pretty straight foward, but the Corvian Settlement and the Followers/Millwood Knights forest are pretty good. The starting point is also very straight foward, but at least it has some very interesting weapons and items if you go all the way through. The one big bad point of this dlc is it's length. Additional content is always welcome, but i think if this dlc had a little bit more it would be perfect. Still, i don't think that it's that big of a deal that it was short, afterall, AoTA was no Blood and Wine in terms of content. I just hope that From gives us a massive second DLC with loads of content, and awesome bosses as they (almost)always did

Hs im sorry to say but exept for that dope scyth... the dlc seriously is crap. the whole pve of dks3 is just.. not worth its prise. hope they'll remake dks1 with decent pvp in it. sitll best game in the souls series after BB. #*****soutformiyazaki

DLC obviously gets harder the higher new game but besides that nothing bad about the game.

is there any new information on the second downloadable content for dark souls 3 because to be honest the first one was disappointing apart from the wolf and Frieda, it was to short and it would of been good if it was longer, I really hope they improve the quality and difficulty of the enemies because I am 15 and I completed dark souls 1 when I was 10 years old and this current downloadable content didn't feel like dark souls, in my opinion this DLC is the lowest standard the franchise has been at since the bed of chaos, I hope they sort it out because this franchise has been a big apart of my child hood and I would hate it to go out on a bad note because all the games are brilliant apart from dark souls 2 but it was saved by the DLCs.

This DLC wasn't very bad but it was for sure not good enouh.The next one better be massive!
Oh, and for the people who are wondering what is Fromsoft's next game, its gonna be a sci-fi one.

I'm really sad this is the last dark souls :(
I hope there will be a game like bloodborne with a universe more like dark souls and deamon souls.
Well it sounds like they are working on a new ip… I guess dark souls was a new ip when deamon souls was done for so there is hope.
I really haven't found any other game with such a great lore that it makes me want to die over and over to discover it.
I love the gameplay but I'm really playing for the lore, not the gameplay…

I feel the next DLC will be mission impossible when it comes to lore.
I believe by the end of it, it's gonna be too much mystery than ever, god forbid.

Wat we need is the sistem of random dungeons from Bloodborne in DS3 that would be so good. Then make invasion integrated to each user inside random dungeons .= endless DS3 experience.

Are there already any information about the second DLC? ... Is there a realistic chance, that there will be an option to refight the bosses you've already defeated? That's what I'm missing most in this game. ... Going through the locations collection all the treasures and killing as many enemies as possible was fun for the first one or two rounds. But could endlessly fight the bosses (or at least some of them), trying out new tactics, new weapons, fighting them barefist, etc. ... So, I think it's really to have this option, without going through the whole game, again. (Of course you could also fight them in the multiplayer, what I often do. But tbh, that's not the same.)

I noticed a lever at Ariandel Chapel bonfire, next to the big door when you come in, it's from the inside. You can't pull it, but I wonder why'd they put it there...

In Ashes Of Ariendel DLC. Spawn at the Rope Bridge Cave and walk out of the cave towards the bridge. Drop down onto the cliff under the bridge and head to the right side. You'll come to a dead end with two flies and an item. But if you look closer at the cliff ledge in front of you. There is an item on it and a ladder going down to the area below it. This area is inaccesible from the Depths of the painting and I couldnt get to it from the Milkwood area either. Does anybody have any idea how to get that item?
