Getting to Dark Souls 3: Ashes of Ariandel is confusing, like every other piece of Dark Souls downloadable content. In this guide, we’ll explain away the confusion.
It’s actually simple, provided that you know what to do — and you’re playing a high-level character.
How to get to Ashes of Ariandel
Warp to the Cleansing Chapel bonfire in Cathedral of the Deep.
The moment you materialize, you’ll hear someone speaking. That’s Slave Knight Gael, a new non-playable character.
Speak to him and choose "Accept" in the dialogue box.
You’ll warp to the Painted World of Ariandel, the snowy land where Dark Souls 3: Ashes of Ariandel takes place.
