What to do on Dark Souls after Beating the Game?

Congratulations on completing Dark Souls! You’ve overcome its challenging gameplay, defeated all the bosses, and unfolded the mysteries of the cursed world.

In NG+, you’ll collect more souls, level up, and acquire new moves, making the game easier, yet more rewarding. Try it six times; you won’t regret it!

2. Engage in Jolly Co-operation

Jolly Co-Op is a great way to experience the game through a different perspective, uncover new secrets, and solidify your friendships.

3. Participate in Fight Clubs

Fight Club is a PvP mode allowing you to compete against human opponents in one-on-one battles.
