Once inside Frozen Eleum Loyce, you can head to the left or to the right. Fight through the cold and make your way into the small opening ahead to enter Frozen Eleum Loyce. Keep moving forward to initiate a blast of cold air that inflicts a small amount of damage. This is the Frozen Eleum Loyce, Outer Wall bonfire. Continue up the stairs and light the bonfire at the top.

Head up the hill and through the door at the top. Examine the obelisk inside to reach the DLC area. Take the path to the left (directly opposite the foggy area) until you reach the Shrine of Winter. To access the DLC, head to the Shaded Woods, Ruined Fork Road bonfire.

You will frequently attack enemies from a distance throughout the DLC area. This is to make it easier to play through before melting the ice, then quickly see what you need to go back for without having to backtrack through the text.Īs always, a ranged weapon with plenty of ammunition is highly recommended. The longer side areas that are inaccessible until the ice has thawed are separated into their own sections of the guide. Doing so opens up several side areas and allows access to all of the chests that were previously frozen shut. Once Aava, the King's Pet is defeated, you can dispel the snow storm and thaw the area. You must find the Eye of the Priestess to see these enemies, which includes Aava, the King's Pet, which is the first boss you will face. There are even a few enemies that are very difficult to see in the snow storm. You will come across many areas that are blocked off due to the ice, as well as chests that are frozen shut and enemies that are frozen in place. The area is frozen over and a snow storm fills the air with ice and snow. The Crown of the Ivory King DLC is somewhat different compared to the previous two Dark Souls 2 DLC areas.
