Darkeater Midir Widely regarded as the most challenging boss in the Ringed City DLC, Darkeater Midir is an absolute monster. With a massive health bar, seemingly endless hitboxes, and a variety of highly damaging area attacks, he can single-handedly make the end of your playthrough ultra aggravating. However, the challenge of this boss is mostly smoke and mirrors designed to punish those who are overly aggessive.

As the final piece of content ever for a Souls game and after the moderately lackluster Ashes of Ariandel, this was the last chance for the series to go out on a high note. Fortunately for everyone, Dark Souls III's concluding DLC is spectacular. Reaching the same lofty heights that The Old Hunters and Artorias of the Abyss managed to attain, The Ringed City exemplifies what From Software can accomplish when they are at the top of their game. A Heap of Fun Environmentally, the areas on display here continuously surprise and impress. Opening in the sprawling, jumbled wastes of The Dreg Heap, the player explores through toppled towers and dilapidated stonework, each surface coated with a powdery ash.
