- In this video we explore the second DLC of Dark Souls 3 -- The Ringed City. This footage has gameplay of the new matchmaking arena system allowing for random and private PvP battles of 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and Brawls which are a free-for-all of 2, 4 and 6 person battles.
This video is based on early footage of Dark Souls 3 gameplay the Ringed City DLC from a Bandai Namco event on March 15, 2017. At the event I was allowed to play the first several hours of the DLC, but this video primarily covers the new PvP arena modes of Brawl and Team battles.

So what is your impression so far?
8:22
That Lightning Arrow Miracle love tapped you.
Faith builds get the short end of the stick again.
+BoltOfMight Every Souls game my first build is a "paladin" with STR/faith, DS3 has thoroughly disappointed me in that regard. Miracles suck.
The bow though is pretty awesome. It can be held as long as you want so it's much better than most spells which are extremely easy to dodge. Because you can let the miracle "cook" it's much better to punish people for roll spamming with a well-timed lightning arrow.
TerraMantis I guess you have a point.
I just wish that they didn't butcher Faith, and Sorceries (To a lesser extent) so harshly in this game.
Pyromancies is at least decent, but Pyromancies is the new thing to hate (Like Sorceries in DkS2). Some say otherwise, but I digress.
Oh well. At least it still looks cool though.
what's more important here is not only can you hold it but it seems like you can also cancel it by rolling. This is what spells need because it introduces unpredictability.
mohammed nabhan Exactly! Miracles like sunlight spear and lighting stake do good damage, but they're relatively slow, meaning you'll be making trades pretty frequently. That lighting arrow miracle is gonna be a great tool for us filthy clerics!
\[T]/
heyo! can you also aim like a normal bow? you know go to that weird first person mode to aim, as if not then how hard is it to hit people?
Also I'm disappointed to see projected heal, if it's anything like emit force, the hit box is bad and most likely will hit the ground, Not sure on name but that big AOE Boss heal will [probably make this worthless
With the damn fire sword were gonna see a whole bunch of Lord of Cinder cosplayers.
+Pon Tus That sword is what the Firelink Greatsword should have been.
"The plunging attack.... The most powerful move in the game.."
this is so much better then watching ign pressing r1 all day in their preview god its awful
0/10
Still no "End Him Rightly" Weapon
The game Mordhau has that covered.
I have a funny feeling shortly after this dlc releases people will be bitching and moaning to nerf the fire sword
i really hope these are not the only 2 new arenas cause i feel like they could of done more like classic ones from the dark souls series. One of them could of been Oolacile Township, Iron Keep Bridge, and blighttown where you find the dragon scale was a popular pvp area and i can go on but damn it would of been a great idea to pay tribute for the fans.
I agree with Max Powers. Things are looking like that. Ashes of Ariandel was a Joke, but we all bought the Season Pass already. From has our money, now they just need to make the run for it. They wont add anything more than 2 DLCs.
only you two would think that.
I agree, it looks like it's rather lazy, the last arena was literally an already existing part of the level that's just been cut off!
+darkheart407
Everyone with a brain in the Dark Souls Community thinks that (and these aren't many).
Didn't from already said there will be no more DLC Content?
Its EXACTLY like Max said. I predict it. Ringed City will be the last DLC. Hopefully not disappointing, although that could also still happen.
After these 2 DLCs, it will be OVER. There will be a few bug fixes and adjustments to the new weapons (that make them more or less broken) and then From will let DS3 die.
They probably already moved on to Bloodborne 2 or, i don't know, Shadow Souls, after this DLC being released, they will abandon DS3 for good. Trust me and mark my words.
darkheart407 man it's the truth. This is the true soul series finale. And it was confirmed buy Miyazaki. Nothing more
Liked, commenting, and watching for full length because I want the algorithm to love Steve just as much as the Chicago boys like Portillos
+ErgothGaming Fillername I love all the things you're saying.
+Terramantis I'm going to be sharing it too
9:35 don't get too cocky now. 😂
"new weapons"
**uses zweihander**
THE LEGEND NEVER DIES
Legit lols when you got caught in the middle of a gesture at 9:43
=)
Been playing a lot of Nioh so they have opposite menu/gesture buttons... I kept hitting the wrong button and it took me forever to pull up the gestures. Took just long enough for someone plunge the hell out of me.
TerraMantis It brought a little comedic relief to an already very good video.
The best channel! congratulations Steve!
Can't wait to see Carthus beacon, pontiff right eye ring, old wolf curved sword, and the ringed knight sword weapon art to become the new meta.
Penguinperson Meatball Well, I use the Pontiff Eye's and Carthus beacon...
And then spam the heck outta the weapon art on Freid's Great Scythe.
My Mage is going to have a field day in the 3v3 :>
That bow spell looks like it'll cause quite a bit of salt when its used to range-kill people.
The Not-God-Emperor Of Mankind Lol, but not as much salt as the Ringed Knight Sword's op fire skill.
I remember the undodgable bow kills from dark souls 2 and the salt it caused. That bow miracle and that fire shield spam looks like it will be a massive tumour when the ringed city comes out. To be honest, the ring knight ability looks kind of reasonable from the footage so far. But that bow somehow made me angry and caused DS2 flashbacks when I saw that short-range bow kill.
The Not-God-Emperor Of Mankind But imagine fighting someone who just uses that same fire attack chain over and over, and the attacks are in a very quick succession, if you kept getting caught in it it would quickly destroy you. I guess it might not be as bad as the bow and shield, but still im not looking forward to fighting scrubs who spam that like they spam r1.
That fire sword is my new fav weapon and hopefully magic and miracles will buffed a little more to make these new spells a little more viable
+Sodium Shogun The Ringed Knight Straight Sword (fiery sword) is amazing. Just how fun that sword was to use alone has me hyped to jump back into DS3.
Thank god I pre ordered this dlc because now I'll have my new main weapon in the form of the ringed knight sword ^^
there's a twist to this one though, it's not just normal r1 spam, you have to hold L2 while doing it. That makes a huge difference in terms of skill, it's going to be a very steep learning curve given the r1 muscle memory we have
Dude, stop talking bullshit.
R1 R1 R1 takes so much skill.
You have to perfectly and skillfully time your R1 Spams with your fingertip, very very precisely to gain the maximum amount of broken stunlock and dont forget to use point down and wear a full Edgy Fallen Knight Set to be the most edgy kid on the internet.
So, I know you're joking, but I don't think it's very appropriate for this special weapon. I'd agree if it was like the CCS or the Gargoyle Spear, but with this one it seems actually worth using other stuff than the L2+R1, for example the normal R1s and R2s as well as the L2+R2.
I know, but I've always been a fan of weapons that buff themselves or have really cool attack combos, and since I mainly use pyromancy I figured that sword would be a great addition to my arsenal ^^
Dragonbasty R2!? what is that? can't find it on my controller :p
They turned Dark Souls into an actual strategy game with that corridor map
Wew Lad you mean for honor?
Im less annoyed by that fire longsword, sure its got good range and a more versatile WA moveset than i had thought, but it seems that even after the second part of the combo it only deals 400-500 damage so far to people in medium/heavyish gear.
we are gonna see a LOT of that weapon in PVP, so im happy that ive seen proof in this video that it doesnt have stupid amounts of hyper-armour during its Weapon Art combo, its Focus consumption is low, its got good range, but not insanely high damage, and it seems hyper-armour can get through it with a bit of trading, which is good, basically its how Friede's Scythe is right now where the WA is obvious, so you can dodge it fairly easily, and you can poise through it with a bigger weapon, which is how it should be.
That straight sword's weapon art looks OP af. Seems like it will pair up very nicely with a WA shield.
i'm sure you can parry the weapon art. assuming the fire attack is a weapon art.
+Karl Faucher fire attack is its weapon art and yes it can definitely be parried.
See? not as OP as you thought it was, right?
Karl Faucher keyword "looks"
Karl Faucher also, just because it can be parried, doesn't mean it's not OP. after all, you can parry the carthus curved sword
Is there a good chunk of content that you did not yet see? I just hope this is larger than Ariandel and has a sizable boss lineup. Speaking of, did you like the one you were able to play, assuming it wasn't the Demon Prince?
The ringed knight sword looks like just the weapon I needed for my pyromancy build. There aren't really any innate fire damage one handed swords in the base game. Also, that weapon art is basically soul of cinder's mega combo without the explosion.
Logan Hamby and it's going to be my go to gank destroyer weapon before they nerf it into the ground because it might stand a chance against ganks.
I hope that gank squads forget that the lothric banner and projected heal exist. It would be so annoying to have a whole squad of super buffed guys with a healer to boot.
Logan Hamby they aren't because it will make the game easier for them so they and they are scum so they are more than likely going to use it.
Logan Hamby The weapons you need for your build are either the Demon's Claw or the Onyx Blade.
Well, I say pyromancy but it's really more like a pyro/quality hybrid build. Still with liberal application of forbidden suns of course (or chaos vestiges or whatever the kids are calling it these days).
That fire sword looks awesome
I really hope a patch comes out that makes sorceries and miracles better.
thats spear is gonna be a fucking hasle anyone fighting ganks
so there is a faith bow now, seems legit.
why not just ma like e arena modes not dlc so we get the most players qued up for it?
I have a feeling that the sword you use at 7:09 is going to be the new meta
TheMiraculousJeff It looked fucking incredible, I can't freaking wait
looks like the new fire weapon will be new META, seems pretty hard to dodge
If you get hit by the initial swing you're confirmed locked in for a total of 4 hits. And yes, it has a lot of range, is fast and has large sweeps so it's pretty easy to lock up an unsuspecting opponent. That said, that first swing can be parried. You should honestly be more afraid of the shield doors being exploited, they're extremely powerful when used properly.
this gets me even mpre excited
Man a lot of RB spam end no parrying makes 4 a dull match😕
Its..... Beautiful
Cant wait to roll around like an idiot in melee fight again and get staggered by the gust of wind, soooo haiped.
Imminent Troll Then increase your poise?
Anymore wet noddle hit miracles? But I do like the range heal. It's new different. Even though the bow is good maybe but with the way faith builds are and the lack of end game talismans or chimes the gods know as fromsoft is abandoning the sun. Oh sun where u go? We watch as we went to the sun in dark souls 2 but in the end we see only darkness.
i really wish this showcased the weapons a little more but hey it was nice to see the new weapons. i mean that dragon head looks really cool. was that the weapon art? can it be two handed? is it a fist weapon? and how does the projectile heal work? i didn't see it used at all during that. i liked the angels arena but don't care much about the first arena you showed off. the sword is a bit disappointing that it's not always on fire which could make me interested in using it but whatever. i'm glad to see the lightning bow was actually a miracle. but i didn't see you use it so i'm wondering if you can actually aim it or if it just... shoots after you tap the button like with all other miracles
Patrick Berserker You can hold it like a normal bow :)
ok, thank you for the information
How does that fiery longsword with crazy weapon art scale? I mean, would it be viable with INT/FAI build or is it just better with quality (like most of the weapons in the game..)
Im still getting the dlc but it was painful watching these guys play
In the 3v3 I seen 3 to 4 open backstabs that he didn't do
Finally we can Gank and R1 Spam in Piece.
May the Poise be with you guys (yeah, ''poise'' bwahaha)
Hi Steve
Hi David
I want that dragon shield.
0:06 How'd you get the opening image of the soul of cinder to animate like that?
Does the sunlight spear create an AOE and shoot lightning, or only do one at a time? Is the dragon's head a shield or a weapon, or both?
HDANI HAYDESE Every shield is technically a weapons, but it's a shield. It only shoots.
The screenshots show a greatshield version of the small dragon head shield, was that changed or is there another different one?
Different one. Ringed Knights use the small ones and the straight sword. It was shown in a trailer. The Greathshield dragon head has HP regen as weapon art from what was in its description.
Drn Montemayor It also projects a lion head to shove ppl
Did a player used that "Demon's souls like armor"? is that gonna be in DLC2?
The Burial Knight set was replaced by Vilhelm's set. So no.
for honor vibes
Why do they always let scrubs play these games ._.
Most Dark Souls players are scrubs.......
i was thinking the same thing topkek
Paul N. dark souls 3 players* fixed it for you
you think this is bad? you havent seen IGN play these arenas :P i found this footage to be more than acceptable, we got to see a bunch of new things, decent use of the new weapons, and decent play from pretty much everyone.
Why didn't you use the dragon head thing?
Do you know what the fire sword is called
Plz tell me how to unlock this arena
No Crypt Blacksword?... 😥
3 man army?
In the works, it'll be out before Ringed City.
When will u have your part 3 uploaded? Lol
Yes
Is it just atypical dlc content, or more like an expansion?
Luke Isaac It's gonna add massive new areas, and a ton of new equipment. It is going to be very expansive and well worth $15.
Dark Reaper And three weeks later, I can safely say that it did, I've fallen in love with nearly everything it's added, the sweeeeeet covenant that you need to kill a ludicrously hard boss to get, the weapons, the bosses, EVERYTHING!
so guys do i need dlc 1 for arena because i have dlc 2 ?
Slayer No
Also, what are the stats of the ringed knight's ssword?
+Malevolent Macaroni I can't talk about or show that stuff. If you notice the one time I open the inventory I blurred out the stat screen. This is most likely due to the fact that stats can be altered or adjusted up until the day of release.
Other streamers were able to say that the dragonfire shield had high base AR without scaling. I just want to know if the ringed knight sword needs dedicated pyro stats, or if quality stats will work.
What soul level were these builds?
+The Ball Droppers Like 195 I think. They were very rounded builds so our characters could use everything from miracles to dex and str weapons.
what specs do you have on your pc and what headset do you use?
crowshooter 122
Specs:he calls them glasses or seeing-scopes
Headset:he got the collectors edition head in a set/full body included.
lmao what??
sorry, idk.
sad days :( its all good though
Why the fuckin scrubs cmon and not one slightly experienced player was with them
lol... okay.
Is that the Demon Souls armor?
MMACaliber I think it's the default knight class armor. The demon souls armor and knight class armor are pretty similar but who knows! it would be amazing to have the demon souls set
cody bond I ask because it looks so shiny. I hope it is.
There actually was an armor set that looked extremely similar it was cut from the game
Your friendly neighborhood Star Nomad sadness
MMACaliber There was also an armor set that looked like the default knight armor but reinforced with extra plates that may be in this DLC
No commentary?
+rjcripe I'll be doing an impressions video over the next several days. So no, no commentary in this one, just unedited PvP.
TerraMantis Awesome, I figured that was the case. A "get this up as quickly as I can" sort of thing.
hello
NOTIFICATION SQUUUUAD!!!
That Noob AYE
So they didn't add any new sorceries that are worth shit? I'm sad now
Steven Schmitz They haven't shown them all yet silly.
Jacket tnx for restoring my faith in this game bby
Correct. We didn't see any new sorceries but I find it extremely hard to believe that there are no new sorceries in the DLC. I could give you some hints toward what I think it's going to be but I won't say unless you ask, people freak about the smallest spoilers.
TerraMantis fire away I give zero shits about spoilers.
TerraMantis besides its not technically a spoiler until it gets confirmed.
Yo
Twelve seconds b
that crown is so irritating
notification squad!!
So they pretty much used an unconnected area from Archdragon Peak that didn't make the cut in the regular game and called it a PVP arena. FROM SOFTWARE was completely lazy with this final souls game. I'm going to get the DLC as usual, but not expect much because Ashes of Ariendal was garbage.
Paul N. Sad but true.
Paul N. it was meh and i feel like got the sloppy seconds of what bloodborne had, because they put SO MUCH in bloodborne that i hurt
Paul N.
Remember when people said Ds2 was bad? I miss powerstances and twinblades...
power stance was cool, but twinblades were terrible xD
DS2 had really fun pvp, but the overall content and gameplay was terrible in the main game.
Voldebutt Red iron twinblade was god tier but yeah admittedly Ds2 had major issues but something about Ds3 just seems...worse to me
not wasting money on more ds3
Only on ds B team.h
nerd
miyazaki is a shit
pvp is where most the fun and hours sink in
pls B team come back
ds I 2 is shit
give me dsII 2
mixups, spells, left hand, angles, rotations, delays
So is this another 2 hour dlc with hardly any content again? or is it actually worth a buy?
no its not we literally got to see 1 part of 4 and it skipped multiple bonfires in the stream so chill out
Dazon XI I am chill haha just because I'm speaking negatively about the game don't assume I'm angry, that dlc was objectively small
The last one was a little bit small, but still worth buying imo. I mean, you must be pretty poor if you can't spend five more dollars than it might be worth when counting in "money per content".
They have also stated multiple times that they heard our feedback and will have much more content than ashes of ariandel. there is 4 bosses a couple mini bosses more weapons pyromancies,sorceries and so on. but then again ashes is like 10 bucks and ringed is 15 so if you cant spend 5 more dollars for more than double of AoA, then there is a bigger problem than the dlc. This is the last DLC you really think they won't end it with something big?
Dazon XI I don't think? When it comes to my money I don't assume anything, they are under no obligation to make this dlc great, especially just because it's the last dlc. That is just wishful thinking bud and I have no time for such a thing.
R1 R1 R1 R1
I'd really prefer a pvp arena where you can fall off, that way you are forced to fight and not run.
Like #600
Theres barley anything new :/
thrjafiresouls looks like it going to wheat ashes of ariandel for popularity.
Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe, this video showing off pvp arenas and a few weapons isn't showing you most of the DLC?
Took 3 games to understand.
Imminent Troll *Claps* *claps* *Clapping intensifies* *claps*
Thetia Did you get my joke?
Q CARA RUIM
N SABE ESQUIVAR
TOMA DANO ATOA E QUANDO ESQUIVA ERRA E TOMA PORRADA
I hope this dlc will be good but after Ariandel, which I didn't buy thank God, and Dks3 as a whole, I'm disappointed in From. I want to buy this but going off how they spoil a lot in trailers, it looks like the Crimson Bat is the main boss. The thing is literally only mentioned as a bit of text on Lorians sword. I want answers to the world and what lies beyond it. I don't care how epic the bosses are, if they don't end the series appropriately, I won't buy it.
Supposedly "The crimson bat" is just a mini boss. We'll know when I comes out. I feel you though. I'm sitting here in hope that they end it right.
The bat is the first boss, casul
High Lord Nexus How do you not like Ashes of Ariandel? The vast snowy fields, and the mountains and, the icey depths of the painting were so beautiful. And Friede was such an amazing boss, like just as good as Lady Maria. And in addition the new weapons were all badass and fun to use. There wasnt much new armor which was a little disappointing, and the first boss was pretty lame, but he unlocks the pvp arena which is always fun at least to me. Overall is was fantastic and was more beautiful and fun than most of the areas in the base game.
Joshua Franco Wow.....
That 'Crimson Bat' was the demon that Lorian defeated to give his sword fire powers.....
I hate this game's PVP. Though I can't think of a logical reason other than I'm either bad at it or I don't optimize my characters for it.
This is the only Souls game that I don't get consistent wins, and I lose nearly every time... then again the lag "phantom range" I have been experiencing on my allegedly high speed internet makes it almost impossible to play anyways: weapons like the great club seem to hit 50% further from it's length... even from the side of the weapon. I once died to a drop attack like six feet away from the weapon. Or I get hit by a spear when I'm on a player's side... the side that isn't even holding the spear.
Almost every time I lose, attacks never look like they're connecting. Meanwhile the hits I deal on my screen make a damage dealing sound but don't cause stagger or apparent health damage (I say apparent because I know the health bar doesn't always drop when another player is damaged.)
Even so this could probably be avoided if I had optimized my characters correctly. I guess I could dedicate to being a pvp powerhouse and maybe get decent wins, but I think it's wildly unbalanced and unfair that I would spend hours and hours and hours on a character only for it to completely suck at PVP. That, to me, makes it more of a grind than skill-based experience.
Why have 50 strength and 25 faith/int (a versatile strength pyro hybrid) when I could just dump all of my stats into one or the other and demolish a player by spamming r1 or spamming spells?
One solution is the amazing Rebirth system, but it's limit per game cycle means I would eventually be forced to choose between a cool build I like that does different things, or just another generic fighter or mage pvp build.
And then there's Bloodborne... although the stats and mechanics are mathematically simplified, leveling into anything is ultimately useful -as it should be, why should a game punish you for choosing your hard-earned stat increase (your main reward for sticking with the game) "wrong"?- the combat allows for such versatile and cool builds. Pretty much all gear and stats are viable and none of the weapons are garbage, you can use whatever you want. In addition to this, you don't have to unintuitively toggle between gear mid-fight as much to keep the enemy on their toes; in Bloodborne everything from Bloodtinge, Arcane and Strength/Skill gear as well as the ability to heal through blood vials are all available to you at the same time on seperate buttons AND you can still toggle between more if need be. This makes for a satisfying, flowing PVP experience. Wheras Dark Souls requires you to toggle through spells, healing, special gear, and weapons all individually.
This is manageable with my dex build that has six weapons and no spells, or my mage who only uses the "dark spells", but if you want to mix and match you're pretty much screwed outside PVE.
I don't blame the developers. I can't imagine them adhering to the same formula as the original Demon Souls without wonky, unbalanced PVP. Which is why I'm glad this will hopefulky be their last Dark Souls as PVP is really what gave Bloodborne replay value to me.
So boring
This is staged pvp, no body is using followers sabre 0/10 not real pvp experience
;)
After playing For Honor extensively (alphas and betas) I can no longer see the point of any DS pvp as they have very little depth (the only depth comes from unintended glitches).
I hope FromSoftware draws from For Honor because I'd like to see a game with its Art of Battle combat system in the dark fantasy setting of a Souls game with areas rich in visual detail and lore.
I just hope it happens in my lifetime.
Ill play through the Dlc because I got the season pass but PvP in this game is dead, for honor shits on dks3 pvp.
GseWorldwide i love for honor but rage quits an disconnects r a turn off
No, for honor has shitty passive revenge pvp. And the equip unbalance is even more noticeable on for honor
Francesco Morselli equip items dont do anything in duels and brawls, and revenge rarely happens unless you gank lol you are just shit at the game lol.
Sure mate, i suck at the game. Not that almost every player dropped that shitty game :')
Francesco Morselli Lmao idk what planet your living on, but I dont really constitute thousands of people alone on twitch playing for honor, not even adding in the constant stream of for honor content here on youtube, every eso streamer, AND dark souls streamer/ playing and loving for honor. The only community dying is dark souls sadly, especially the pvp community, 90%of it has moved to for honor.
