From the trailer it seems like you confront the lieutenant in a church. I hope it's actually the one Dracula was stored in, since I kind of hated getting arbitrarily locked out of it in the beginning of the game. You never even go back aside from a tiny hallway in the basement.
Actually, it seems like the church where you fight Death.
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

It's not. I booted up the game again to be sure and the places are completely different.

Plus, that place where you fought Zobek was the Church of Satan, which had been sealed weeks before the events of the game and would probably be the last place you'll see the likeness of a crucified Jesus (which also appears in the Belmont chapel and could be seen in the LoS1 epilogue).

We might still get to see Slogra. Maybe Alucard leaves him there to guard Gabriel and the actual bodyguard shows up and defeats him and then he fights Alucard in a previously unseen part of that sanctuary throne room.

That church of Satan was actually a christian Church in disguise.

Everything comes full circle

Maybe on the outside, but it wasn't exactly subtle with its imagery on the inside.

Nice trailer. I just hope this dlc fleshes out the story better than the main game.

I'm a bit disappointed at how Alucard's design was slightly altered for the DLC. Being a fan of his LoS redesign, it really irked me how his front belts were removed along with the Crissaegrim's holster. I never saw a practical use for that wolf armor thing dangling on Al's right hip, other than to hold the Dark Pain, but the old design made it look as if the belts held it together. Now it's hanging by itself and that last bit of utility just went out the window.

Anyway, this looks pretty interesting but with that GameSpot announcement I guess we won't be getting a final Super Boss in the same vein as The Forgotten One in LoS1. I was hoping for a Boss Rush patch too, or at the very least a way to select chapters.

I was actually theorizing that perhaps Slogra would become possessed by the castle's blood and then goes to fight Alucard.

Does anyone wish that Galamoth was this DLC's boss (even though it probably won't have a boss)?

I'm just hoping we get a Climax DLC that actually ends the series.

Hopefully with Cox being off the series, we can move past his "DO WE NEED TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU? GOD DIDN'T WIN, DRACULA DID. DRACULA RULES THE WORLD, BUT WHAT IS ALUCARD GOING TO DO?"

Wouldn't it be funny if you discover that Zobek's lieutenant's real name is Gaibon?

I don't know if we'll get a climax dlc given Dave Cox's "[Satan] is proper dead." and the how MS is apparently done after Revelations is released. I hope so, but I'm not counting on it at this point. *Sigh* At least there's Dark Souls 2 to quench the thirst for a proper challenge.

I mean... I thought gaibon and slogra did serve death directly in the old cannon.... Right? If Trevor can be alucard.... Gaibon can wield the Muramasa. Lmao

I'm totally expecting something like that
