Return to the beginning
If you`ve ever curled up in a nest over an abyss to return to the starting location of the first part of the cult video game franchise, the extremely rude boss with wings disproportionately small in relation to his body should be familiar to you with this expansion.
Characters from «Dark Souls - Tomb of Giants» and «Dark Souls - Painted World of Ariamis» will now be able to face the boss from the expansion you are on.
Expansion features
- The expansion has two boss decks and two sides of the field with additional column tokens, because...
- The expansion miniature serves both as the Shelter Demon, which is the first boss of the first part of «Dark Souls», and as the Homeless Demon, which can be encountered after returning to the Shelter.
- Of course, both bosses also have their own treasures that players will receive in case of victory.
Game features
Let`s note a few key mechanical advantages on the way to the dim locations to battle giant bosses.
- Programmed enemy actions. As with smaller opponents, this applies to movement distance and strike speed, bosses feel truly alive: their gradually playing deck of actions does not shuffle and become stuck after the first round of use, but will react to external conditions, the location of the players and the boss, and his state - stamina and injuries.
- Using stamina. All movements and strikes have their own price, after which the hero needs time to recover.
- Campaign mode. A series of mini-bosse encounters to confront the giant at the end. Each boss, of course, has its own behavior pattern.
- Using bonfires. A defeated hero also loses everything and is reborn near a bonfire. However, in the tabletop version of Dark Souls, the hearth can go out after a certain number of uses, after which the hero will no longer be able to return.
