Wait what this is about
?
FINALLY. That's been a gap in the lore for far too long.
The furtive Pygmy

This is by far is the most interesting thing in the trailer:
Gywn and...the Pygmy?
I always got the idea pigmy was a female , anyway maybe the statue was to fuel the "Chosen one" tale, the crown also ties the King of humankind from Dark Souls 2 and ties Dark Souls 3 main quest to be the Lord of the Undead.
Also notice Gwyn is not giving his crown but crowning an "undead" not a Human to rule over something not Londo I guess. would be cool to see the four kings getting in charge of New Londo. Maybe From is retconning Gwyn to be a good buy and caring about humans after all
Some promo stuff a while ago said that
the ringed city was a gift from Gwyn himself to the ancestors of the pigmy. A kingdom at the edge of everything where they could presumably live in peace? The role of humanity against the Archdragons might have been downplayed too?

Cool info, those
primal humans should be pretty dangerous so Gwyn took them away from normal humans
That's sad. I got into From-type games with Bloodborne and now Dark Souls 3 and it makes me really excited.

Got a review code. Will update with impressions once Persona 5 is out of the way.
Baraka in the White House
2-Terms of Kombat
Almost certainly. Ashes of Andariel is a ball-buster, so I would expect no different from the new one.
Ashes of Ariandel: You can access it early in the game, but I would recommend waiting until you upgrade your weapon to +7 or higher before taking it on. The final boss of the DLC is pretty damn hard.
The Ringed City: From what I know, it's only accessible close to the end of the game.

I started playing them with Demon's Souls. I've played every one multiple times. My peak was the first Dark Souls and I also got way more into Bloodborne more than DSII and DSIII. I hope the ringed city has great level design. I'd love for the series to go out with some top notch bosses and art direction.
They've been making King's Field and "not King's Field" games since their inception. Expect "not Dark Souls" RPGs from them in the future.

Same here. That's precisely why I'm holding off on Nioh and this for a good while until I need that fix again. Hope it does well though. Long live the Souls series
To be fair, we're still trying to figure out how Gwyn has an uncle.
(I think the poster meant "descendants")

This. FROM fucked up bad if the Primordial Serpents aren't in this DLC

I'm pretty drunk. Season Pass worth the impulse buy?
Reviews will appear in the next few days so just give it time.
Shows promise though.
Ashes is quite early on (Cathedral of the Deep), but the Ringed City isn't accessible until the literal end of the game. Sorry.
Why? They've probably been dead for centuries at this point.
You don't have to move to NG+ after beating the game like you do in Bloodborne. So you can play both pieces of DLC after beating the game with no fuss.
If you did move to NG+... Well, Ashes is available by the Cathedral of the Deep, but the Ringed City likely requires you to reach the final boss again.

Nope, technically he/she was the one who took the leftovers of the flame while the other primordial humans were awakening.
Not really, Lotric adored the serpents too.
Kaathe is apparently confirmed dead by the Japanese version of Yuria's death dialogue. No idea about Frampt.
All signs point to
the bonfire outside the Flameless Shrine, the place you reach after all five lords are on their thrones and you talk to the Firekeeper.
Oh good. I don't think I went NG+...I don't think.

Whoops I forgot I have the season pass , so I can play it right now i think
We literally have to get really good and far into DS3 it seems, so we can play the content we buy, at least for TRC.
(and that's not a swipe at Dark Souls, that's part of the challenge, which I am okay with).
Anyone confirm this?
Not until Tuesday.

I love Pokken!
Kaathe and Frampt are the most interesting characters of all Souls games (including BB), yet the best we got in the sequels was a Kaathe namedrop and some fucking statues.
But at this point, i would settle in seeing their corpses in this DLC.
Couldn't be more wrong.

Well there are repeated rumours that
Kaathe's corpse is one of the things you see at the Sable Church/New Londo part of the City
At the very least I will be surprised if we get no lore at all.
Edit: An item description does little to convince me that Gwyn isn't the lifetime recipient of World's Worst Dad & Biggest Ego. Feels like Ringed City has the potential to shake up so much of what we know.
