10 Gaming DLCs That Surprised Everyone
6. Artorias Of The Abyss - Dark Souls
The wolf knight Artorias was one of the original Dark Souls’ most enigmatic characters, and had many early fans speculating on exactly how this knight of Lord Gwyn fit into the game’s famously esoteric lore. They wouldn’t have to wait long, as the Artorias of the Abyss DLC contained some uncharacteristically direct plot revelations, allowing the chosen undead to travel back into Lordran’s past to uncover exactly what became of the legendary knight.
It wasn’t just a treat for lore fans. The fight with the titular knight built on everything FromSoftware had learned with Demon’s Souls and the base Dark Souls, and offered the speediest, most challenging encounter yet - and a solid blueprint for where Bloodborn and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice would eventually take us.
Plus, you also got to meet Sif as a puppy, which should be good enough for anyone.
