DLC content needs to walk a fine line between substantial and exhausting. Pulse of The Ancients doesn’t always pull it off, but it almost isn’t meant to. This is endgame content, you see. There’s no handholding or pleasant jaunts happening here. This is a vicious gauntlet, a sweaty sprint through harsh plains under a blistering sun. The boss battles are brutal, the Royal Ancient Tech Lab is crazy long, and there’s little relief on the horizon. Players hoping for a victory lap after the main campaign might find one, but only if they fully dominated the base game. Otherwise, Pulse of The Ancients is a tough new challenge that sits neatly at the end of Age of Calamity.
If you're thirsty for more Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity then Pulse of the Ancients certainly has enough content for you to enjoy. Plus, the new character and weapon types are definitely cool but I wish that the actual missions had more substance.
Despite some fun new weapons, a new playable character, and some challenging post-game content, Pulse of the Ancients, the first DLC offering for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity’s Expansion Pass doesn’t add much in terms of new stages, storylines, or campaigns. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity – Pulse of the Ancients likely won’t entice back players who have already completed the main campaign with its lack of strong post-game content, but for players looking to get a few more hours of gameplay, it will more than provide an adequate experience.
New weapons and a new character are nice, but an excessive demand for grinding makes Pulse of the Ancients a lackluster experience overall.

Summary This DLC adds a variety of new content to the game, including a new playable character. That player character is called the Battle-Tested Guardian, and it's one of the spider-like machines you might remember from Breath of the Wild. Pulse of the Ancients also adds two new weapon types, giving Link a flail and Zelda access to the motorcyc...
