Crown of the Ivory King is exhausting, but at the end of it all, the predominant emotion swelling inside of us was sadness. We wanted more: one more boss fight, one more tucked-away room – not because the DLC is lacking, but because we didn’t want to leave.

Setting aside, enemies are less inventive than the ones found in Old Iron King. By now veterans of the game will know what to expect from each critter that is thrown at them.

The lethal and regal presence of the king's phantomlike tigers makes for a welcome change of pace. Crown of the Ivory King is a melancholic victory lap in the only way a Dark Souls game can present a finale.

Paired with Crown of the Sunken King and Crown of the Old Iron King, it's enough to wish From Software could extend Dark Souls II's life with interminable rounds of additional content. Snow levels have a qualified reverence in gaming culture.

While my challenge seeking heart and likely inexhaustible patience were hoping for our reward to be a secret new area, an Ultimate Boss or heck, a minor change to the ambiguous ending to Dark Souls II’s main story, Crown of the Ivory King was not just a delicious (and at times bitter) cake to go through, but it also provided me with a cherry top that was clear interpretation of what our player character was able to ultimately accomplish.
