Do You Get the DLC in Dark Souls Remastered?

Dark Souls, a notoriously challenging game, has been remastered to bring its dark, Gothic world to life once more. One of the main concerns for fans and new players alike is whether or not the remastered edition includes the original’s downloadable content (DLC). In this article, we’ll dive into what DLC is included in the remastered version and answer your question.

Original Dark Souls DLC: What to Expect

Before discussing the remastered edition’s DLC, let’s cover the original Dark Souls game. In 2012, Dark Souls was initially released without any DLC packs. However, in April 2012, "Artorias of the Abyss" DLC was released as part of the game’s downloadable content expansion pack. This expansion pack introduced new areas to explore, enemies to vanquish, and powerful bosses to defeat.

When to Start the DLC

If you’re unsure when to start exploring the DLC, we have a suggestion. Suggest doing it before fighting Sif. Save Sif near the Manus fight and then join the Darkwraiths by progressing through the DLC content.

Warpability

When exploring the Sanctuary Garden for the first time, you might wonder if warping is possible. Thankfully, the answer is yes. You’ll be able to warp to other bonfires just as you would in the regular game.

What’s After Killing Artorias

If you’ve defeated the boss Artorias, congratulations are in order! Return to the room where you fought him and ask the NPC Ciaran for his soul. As a reward, she’ll gift you two great dexterity weapons: the Gold Tracer and Dark Silver Tracer.
