"I got the hint and sat next to the other phantoms," says Dongle, who discovered the clubs that fateful evening and went onto become a "host" of his own small gatherings. At a fight club, only the PvP matters, only the brawl. At a fight club, it doesn't matter if you are part of the mad covenant of Mound Makers, who routinely murder their old friends, or a 'sunbro' from the Warriors of Sunlight, honour-bound to help others through the game. Welcome to the 'fight clubs' of Dark Souls 3 - improvised arenas where players are gathering to fight each other in the presence of a host, regardless of affiliation or motive. He puts his weapon away, he sits down and he waits his turn. Then he does something that more and more dark spirits in Lothric are doing. There are two more red phantoms squatting on the stone ledge nearby, quietly watching the duel below.ĭingle (full name: Dingle Dongle) looks at the fight, then at the man he is supposed to kill, then at the spectators. The man in the crown begins silently dropping glowing stones everywhere, one by one. He approaches with caution and looks into the grassy arena below, where he sees two dark spirits - red phantoms like himself - taking swings at each other. But the crowned man shows no fear, he simply waves and beckons him over.

When Dingle arrives at the circular ruins outside the old church, the first thing he sees is a man in a crown, holding a flaming torch - it is the man he must kill.
