Dark Souls: The Board Game - Gaping Dragon Expansion

Custom Game Elements The Gaping Dragon introduces a new Boss Mechanic that players will have to overcome. The Gaping Dragon has the capability to perform back-to-back attacks via it’s Crawling Charge Mechanic. Whenever the ‘Crawl’ Icon appears on a behaviour card the Gaping Dragon will immediately perform a Charge where it slams its barbed maw forward before rapidly skittering across the ground. Players will need to ensure they’re prepared for a barrage of attacks! The second new mechanic is the Corrosion Condition. When a character is suffering from the Corrosion Condition and makes a Block roll, they suffer -1 successes on the roll. If they suffer damage from the attack, then the condition is removed. (A Corrosion Token, much like a Bleed Token, is not removed at the end of a character’s activation.) Campaign Scenario ‘Into the Depths’ The Gaping Dragon Campaign Scenarios are set in Dark Souls™ 1 following on from the Darkroot Expansion and can be played over a series of five sessions. Along the way you’ll have to defeat the Winged Knight, Titanite Demon, Artorias, Ornstein & Smough, and then finally the Gaping Dragon. We have also included rules to allow this campaign to be followed if you only have the Core Set. You quite simply replace the Artorias Boss Fight with the Dancer, and do not use the Darkroot Expansion Encounters as instructed.
