    Pretty from the outside, bland, boring, lazy from the inside. It's full of empty rooms and corridors.
    Difficulty is probably the most cheap DaS2 ever got, enemies are slow but come in large numbers and hit like a train. Bosses pretty much the same thing, hard to find redeeming qualities about this final entry.

    It wraps up the other two stories nicely, even managing to tie things back to the original Dark Souls, gives you a great final boss to deal with and rounds out the complete Dark Souls II experience.

    A fitting finale to a fantastic DLC series. We're only sad to see that story end. [Christmas 2014, p.72]

    Unlike previous DLC packs, which have left players with more questions than answers, 'Crown of the Ivory King' provides much more information about the world and its inhabitants, giving users a greater sense of closure.
