How to Access the DLC
- The Ringed City DLC is accessed by traveling to Kiln of the First Flame, and finding a new bonfire before Soul of Cinder that transports you to the DLC location. There is also a bonfire you can find in the Painted World of Ariandel, in the chapel by Sister Friede. For this method to work be sure you are porting to the Sister Friede bonfire first. If you last saved there and then start the DLC the bonfire will not be there. Simply port to Firelink and port back and it will be there.
- The area is recommended for SL100+

“A tower rises above the clouds, at its top stands a well-known sword.”
-
“A traditional city for the Pygmies, called the Ringed City. A portion of the bridge is curved, creating a wall on the inner side. Countless tombstones line the top of the wall made of rock.”
-
“Unusually shaped paired greatshields resembling great doors. The firmly closed door will help to block a myriad of attacks from the enemies.”
-
“The last survivor of Demons who were born from the Flame of Chaos, dwelling below the land. With a grotesque look having been exposed to poison, their flame is fading away…”
-
“This shield, formed by the head of a descendant of an Archdragon, harks of the ancient dragon slayers. Even the descendant of an Archdragon perishes not, the skill restores its former strength.”
-
A traditional city for the Pygmies, called the Ringed City. Half covered in foliage, the city looks desolated with ancient ruins.
-
“A pyromancy which tears down the enemies with the great fan of flame. Pyromancers, who once lived in an cient land with their greatest fan weapons and enchanting looks, seem to still exist.”
-
“When a city falls into an Abyss, Locusts will then arise. It is said that they will feast on anything and everything that is in their path.”
-
“Vicious knight swinging a giant greatsword. Sunken in a swamp, his body is swollen with every cavity bloated. Instead of having a head, a clump of darkness dwells and with armor half decayed.”
-
“A Gray Giant who has existed since the Archdragon was found. The Giant used to be a judicator, working under the Gods.”
