Dark Souls is an all-time masterpiece hall-of-famer, and one that's met with enough success to warrant an extension. The 'Artorias of the Abyss' DLC, now available on all platforms, adds a series of substantial linked areas, plus some superb new bosses and equipment – and also manages that Miyazaki trick of filling in blanks while suggesting a few new ones. The DLC is set in Dark Souls' past, in a kingdom called Oolacile beset by the Abyss, all accessed through the minor detail of a pendant.
“Oolacile is a kingdom of sorcery that had been ruined when the original story unfolded,” explains Miyazaki. “The additional content is set about a hundred years before Oolacile was ruined. In this kingdom, the sorceries are peculiar light spells that are different from the common ones in the original story.” Oolacile spells from the original game tended to be non-offensive and even charming magic – producing light, hiding things, disguising yourself. Tricks.
