Eldest souls initial release date3/17/2023 ![]() He can zip around the arena, summoning more regular swords, almost shooting at you like a machine gun and can do a wide frontal cone attack that you need to be very careful of. He can summon spears that float above and then come down, showing a circle radius on the ground moments before hitting. He summons a massive red sword that is constantly trying to spin and slash at you, blocking off much of the movable area in the arena. Zylad – Lord of Steel first appears to be a normal sized warrior or sorts with his armor and a red jewel in his chest, but he then starts to float around, clearly possessing some sort of magical powers. I won’t delve into each of the three new bosses in depth, but figured it would be good to give you an idea what to expect, to see if it would entice you to re-download Eldest Souls to try out the new content. You can’t dodge through attacks though like in Souls games, so you need to generally attack a few times, dodge out and wait for your next moment. For those that are new to Eldest Souls, you go from fighting one boss to the next, usually quite large and you’re going to die quite often as you learn their patterns. The core gameplay is unchanged, staying true to what you’ve already come to enjoy. From here you’ll then need to explore and figure out what you’ll need to do, as it’s not blatantly obvious with a large sign saying “New Content Here” with an arrow pointing you in the direction. To access this new content you’ll need to have beaten the first four bosses in the core game. ![]() ![]() Again, being a completely free update, they went above and beyond to encase it in a full Expansion, complete with lore and backstory as opposed to simply dropping in some new bosses without any reason as to why they are there. While three bosses are clearly the highlight here, and may not sound like much on paper, but if you’ve played Eldest Souls before you’ll know how long it can take to learn some of these fights to finally be successful. Speaking of weapons, there are four new ones to unlock and even a new NPC that has new lore to uncover. This new shard has not only a handful of new infusions, but also coincides with a weapon customization system as well. There’s a new Boss Shard, of which each of the new bosses possess a piece of it and is said to be incredibly powerful if reformed together. So let’s delve into what’s new in this latest Expansion: Three new areas (The Sea Below, Moonlight’s End and The Forgotten Depths) each house a new and unique challenging boss, waiting to kill you dozens of times over like the previous ones have. Depth of the Forgotten of course adds new boss fights, the game’s bread and butter, but more content as well, including lore. Developers Fallen Flag Studio said that this Expansion is meant as a thank you to their fan base but to also address feedback they’ve also received along the way from dedicated players. The most important thing is that this Expansion DLC is simply an update and completely free for all owners, so it’s time to redownload and check out what’s been added in this additional content. For how much it frustrated me, I saw what made it great.Īlmost a year later and now Eldest Souls has received its latest update and expansion. While I normally struggle with Souls-likes, its combat was on point and I only died because of my own mistakes. I quite enjoyed my time with Eldest Souls when it released almost a year ago (which you can read our full review HERE), as it was a 16-bit boss-rush that was hard as nails. ![]()
