    Artorias of the Abyss

    Perfect. Absolutely perfect. After a year of being slaughtered from everything from dragons to trees, FROM software releases a expansion-level DLC to their child to bring even more things to maul you to death. Adding a whole new chapter into the game, players are plunged back in time to the once wonderful kingdom of Oolacile to save Princess Dusk and cease the spread of the evil Abyss. Along the players journey they will encounter the legend himself, Artorias. Once a proud knight of Gwyn alongside Ciaran, Gough and Ornstein, he has succumbed to the evil he tried so hard to destroy. Now you, the player, must do what he failed to do

    • Four new bosses. Sanctuary Guardian, Artorias, Manus and Kalameet. each tougher than the last and easily offer the toughest fights in the game.
    • Four new NPC's. Marvelous Chester, Hawkeye Gough, Lord's Blade Ciaran and Elizabeth.
    • About 6-8 hours of content depending on how you play.
    • New Dark Magic.
    • PVP arena.

    Easily one of the best pieces of DLC I have ever purchased. This is what DLC should be, an afterthought only done because fans demanded more. Engaging in jolly-cooperation during the Manus, Father of the Abyss bossfight is possibly the most fun co-op fight since Ornstein and Smough. If you are a fan of the game and demand more after playing through the game multiple times, this is a must buy.
