The Ringed City Worth It?

[Prophet]

I’ve really been enjoying DS3 and want to pick up the second DLC as I enjoyed the first even though it was a little short, and just want more Dark Souls. However it’s a little pricey for me at the movement and I really don’t want to wait for the next Steam sale so I wanted to know if it was worth full price and better yet, if anyone can recommend where I can reliably get it cheaper sooner?

I am also interested in this topic. DLCs worth it?

[Mankeybox]

i cant really say much since i got the game and dlc's at a very low price, but i will say that The Painted World of Ariandel and Ringed City are very worth it. they both have very challenging boss fights, weapons and armor.

"worth it" is very subjective. if you love dark souls and want to play even more dark souls, then probably. why cant you wait for a sale though?

The DLCs add cool stuff but they don't take very long to complete. I got them all on sale i believe. This most recent play through that I did was a pyromancer and I just ripped through the DLC.

The Ringed City is more like 3-5x Ashes of Ariandel to give you perspective, but all generally of much higher quality.

In terms of length Ringed City is simply far longer, has three real major boss fights and one pvp covenant boss fight (tho if offline or w/e it is an AI boss fight as well), a new covenant for that particular boss, a new throwable (homing magic knife that is infinite so long as you have FP to use it), WAAAY more weapons and armor, far more interesting enemies, and an actual interesting story and NPC side quest (for a popular classic NPC that is rewarding to complete). It has a good number of slabs for upgrading, too, as well as some new spells that are considered pretty decent. As for the final boss fight, Gael, it is considered one of the very best in the entire series and excellently balanced.

tl;dr If you considered Ashes worth it Ringed City will blow it away for 95+% of players.

Word of warning, do not use the NPC summoning. It will ruin the boss fights, at least the first one. Just spent all afternoon learning first boss, decided to take a break and see what the NPC's were like and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ almost killed him had to suicide.
