Dark Souls 2 - Crown of the Ivory King walkthrough and game guide
All of the bonfires, boss strategies and item locations you need to completely clear Crown of the Ivory King, the last Dark Souls 2 DLC episode.
The third and final chapter of Dark Souls 2's Lost Crowns DLC is released today for Xbox 360 and PC gamers, although PlayStation 3 owners will have to wait until tomorrow before they can get their hands on the concluding content for the game.
Crown of the Ivory King represents a different sort of adventure for the sequel's conclusion. The land it's set within is frozen over and afflicted by a brutal snowstorm which obscures enemies, and freezes shut certain sections of the episode's region. Not only that, you'll need to track down special items if you want to even see some of the more devilish creatures. It's a feisty affair, in other words.
If you're struggling to make progress, we've put together a complete walkthrough for this final episode that will lead you to every bonfire, and take you through every fight. If you're still playing catch-up, we've also included links to our earlier Dark Souls 2 walkthrough content, so you can take in every last bit of the game before calling it a day.
