The Explorers Expansion is essentially an upgrade for the core game set, bringing new enemy types and encounters, along with 3D scenery to replace the cardboard tokens from the core game box. It also adds a new Main Boss and introduces Mimics to the game.

3D Scenery

While the 3D scenery is by no means essential, it is a lot more pleasing on the eye than cardboard tokens. The set also includes the iconic Dark Souls Bonfire, for your party to rest and warm their bones!

The first enemy in this set is another type of Hollow, in the form of the Firebomb Hollow. These guys are a real nuisance as their detonating projectiles are able to hit multiple heroes that are occupying the same node, forcing your party to spread out.

This expansion also brings the Silver Knight Spearmen to the table. The Spearmen are a variation of the Silver Knight Swordsman, playing a more defensive role than their sword wielding counterparts.
