Overview

Slave Knight Gael asks the Ashen One to show Ariandel fire as rot has spread like a plague. He will ask you to touch a scrap of the Painting of Ariandel, which pulls the Ashen One into its frozen landscape. The Ashen One will then traverse the painting’s frigid landscape and encounter its deadly inhabitants.

Trivia

• Due to a logistical error, Ashes of Ariandel was released early for a short period of time on October 21st, 2016, for Season Pass owners on Xbox One. This accidental release forced the company to reschedule the release date for Steam and PlayStation 4 to October 24th, instead of the originally planned October 25th for all consoles.
