A few notes about the DLC:
-You don't actually need to play Ritual of Bonds Vol 1 before this, you can start with this DLC first if you want.
-Once again, this DLC is just Kirito hanging out with another group of Heroines. There is no big bad new antagonist to be found, and it doesn't have any info past the Epilogue.
-The DLC plays out exactly the same as the last one. Enter a dungeon, go through the Epitaph dungeon, fight the boss, do the ritual to get the cradle, imbue the cradle, go back and fight the boss again, and exchange oaths. Do it with the 9 heroines of the DLC before getting the final oaths.
-The loot from treasure chest is once again pretty weak. The overwhelming majority of the time its nothing but potions, not worth going through all the rooms for treasure. The bosses do drop similar weapons to the first DLC, but the mid boss seems to now drop armor instead of weapons.
-This dungeon does require you to use the Unwind seal, which can be changed at the seal charging station.
