Dark Souls - The Board Game

While the scenery pieces and new common enemies get a lot of use in the board game, the main event of this expansion is a new main Boss in the form of The Peruser.

The Peruser is a highly mobile and aggressive Boss that Players of Dark Souls II will remember well. As the name implies, he harasses you relentlessly throughout much of the game!

The Pursuer has a much darker appearance than the armoured models to date. His Armour was washed heavily with blacks and browns, brought back with a little dry brushing to create the tarnished look from the video game.

The Explorer’s Expansion has one final surprise in store for players. Mimics can be added as random events throughout your encounters, bringing a further challenge and paying out twice the loot of a regular treasure chest once defeated.

Mimics are certainly one of the more bizarre creatures from the DS universe, faithfully represented here in all their gangly glory!

The Explorer and Character Expansions previously covered are, in my opinion, essential additions to the Core game. With these three sets you have a wide range of encounters, enemy types, Mini Bosses and Main Bosses to test your mettle against, as well as Ten playable hero characters.

The journey does not end here however. The next two sets I’ll be covering open up new areas for the Un-kindled to explore, each bringing a host of new enemy types and Bosses to overcome.
