"Hand it over. That thing, your dark soul."

He literally said the thing!!!

Just for that, it makes up for a lot of the BS you have to put up with getting to the bosses. I absolutely hated the level design throughout this DLC and it's a shame because I honestly wanted to like the DLC since I'd heard such good things about it. It's full of projectile spam. They're shooting you from all the angles and it's easily one of the most frustrating things I've seen since Dark Souls 2's sadistic boss runs. Luckily, the non-gimmick bosses are quite the joy to fight. If the DLC was just a straightforward boss run with the demons, Midir, and Gael, I'd actually rate this DLC at maybe a 4/5 or 4.5/5, but with all the crap you have to put up to get to the good stuff, it evens out. It's better than the rest of Dark Souls 3, but that isn't saying much in my book. It's just not for me. I'm happy for other people that really do enjoy it, but I'm not into this final Dark Souls. Gael was actually easier than Friede, I think I beat him in less than 10 tries, but I wasn't keeping super hard track. Midir was even easier! I think I beat it in 4 tries. And finally, the Demon Prince, I beat on my 2nd try I believe. So I also feel that Bloodborne is harder than Dark Souls 3.

TLDR; He said the thing and I liked that

Gael hard carried this dlc for me, I summoned a guy called “Matt” and for some reason he tried kicking the boss💔

Gael is a great way to end this trilogy however, still an interesting dlc for those who like dark souls 3

It’s pretty short was well

It's pretty overly difficult and the level design is counter-intuitive. Bosses are pretty good though.

This is my favorite DLC pack in any fromsoftware game, and the only one that really comes close is the old hunters from bloodborne (and maybe crown of the ivory king if you ignore frigid outskirts). It aims to tie a beatiful knot on the Dark Souls Trilogy, and concludes it in probably the best way it could. The areas (unlike the first half of DS3) are amazingly well crafted and designed, and have some of the most fun enemies to fight in the souls series. The bosses however are definitely this DLC's main vocal point, as Demon princes, Midir and Gael are easily some of the best from has ever designed, and probably some of the best in any game period. Demon Princes especially, as they actually managed to overtake O&S as my favorite duo fight in the game, and their replayability factor with how the second phase differs is just amazingly well executed. Midir is arguably the best dragon fight from has ever made, as sticking to his head makes this fight incredibly fun, well paced, and risky as every hit or blow counts in this fight. Gael too, while I do find him a tad bit overrated by the community is definitely deserving of the praise as his presentation along with his difficulty and moveset is so well tuned it might actually be the most balanced fight in the series. Everything about this DLC is just peak and I love it to bits, as It is just everything an expansion to a base game should be.

"Every age, it seems, is tainted by the greed of men.
Rubbish, to one such as I, devoid of all worldly wants! Hmmm, I dunno, maybe it's just the way we are.
I'll stick you in my prayers. A fine dark soul, to you."
