Artorias or Atorias?
Artorias, World. It's going to be some kick ass dlc, from what little I've allowed myself to see. EpicNameBro has done a great YouTube let's play series on the PC version and seemed suitably impressed, which is good enough for me!
lol, the press release got it wrong. So what is an Artorias?
More of a who than a what 😉 A great knight, companion/ owner of Sif, the huge wolf of one of the more well known boss battles of the game.
Not clear on his story yet, but he's caught in The Abyss and you fight him (or rather, his possessed form) at the climax of the new dlc. A hard battle, by all accounts, even by DaS standards.
I hope it's not to expensive.
that depends on if you consider 15 bucks expensive? (this is assuming you already have dark souls and just wanna buy the dlc)
Great DLC, playing it on PC and so far got 2 more bosses to go. Great content. You got to meet 2 of the other of Lord Gwyn's knights (Artorias and Ornstein + 2 more, find out for yourself)
I can't wait to get my hands on this piece of DLC. Judging by what I've heard, this is truly what a piece of DLC should look like.
It's great, but not too long.
The new are is basically where Oolacile stood (Which is the ruins of the Darkroot Forest)
Either way sounds pretty cool. I really dig these games so add-on content is a big plus for me. How's the difficulty?
So far I've taken down two bosses in the DLC.
Artorias is a beast though, one aggressive dude. Normal enemies in the forest are really annoying as they are all cramped into one spot so you have to fight 3 or more at the same time. I like it, it's challenging.
Man i feel so lucky these days , bought rainbow moon , then darksiders and sleeping dogs the same day , after that it was guild wars 2 , now borderland 2 ( if you liked the first you ll love that one ) , a little later resident evil 6 , closely followed by XCOM: Enemy Unknown and finally that AWESOME dlc .
No time to get bored these days .Especially since i finished none of them and plan to do so while waiting for black ops 2 .
