Dark Souls 2 - The Lost Crowns walkthrough and game guide Our walkthrough begins with the Crown of the Sunken King DLC. Guide by John Bedford Contributor Updated on 27 Nov 2020 3 comments If you've already managed to somehow fight your way past even the most unpleasant opponents in Dark Souls 2, you'll be pleased to know that the first bit of DLC content is available now. Titled Crown of the Sunken King, it's the first of three new drops in the The Lost Crowns trilogy of content, with the remaining two instalments scheduled to be released in August and September. This new adventure will send you deep into the dank and dismal bowels of the Necropolis of Shulva. There, expect more of the series' trademark behemoth bosses, equally agonising trash opponents, and more traps than would be strictly sensible to have peppered throughout this sort of enclosed space. Starting with Crown of the Sunken King, we're putting together a complete walkthrough for this new content, so you can breeze your way through any unbearably troublesome encounters you stumble across. It goes without saying that there's no shortage of spoilers within this article, so tread cautiously.
