And like the previous expansion, it also features a more complex environment than the areas found in vanilla Dark Souls 2, one that harkens back to the days of Sen’s Fortress, Blighttown, and the Great Hollow of the first Dark Souls. Like the Crown of the Sunken King DLC before it, Iron King sends players through a portal to a brand new area filled with previously unseen enemies, armor, weapons, spells, and bosses. For many players, that’s a selling point. But with the second DLC expansion for Dark Souls 2, Crown of the Old Iron King, the designers have made it clear that they’re out to make things as frustrating as possible, especially when it comes to the bosses. In Dark Souls 2, From Software chose to leave out the sorts of brazenly unfair areas that players of Demon’s Souls and the original Dark Souls loved to hate, like the toxic swamp in the Valley of Defilement and the magma plains of Lost Izalith.
