10 Scariest Areas In Dark & Demon's Souls History
5. Dark Souls - Oolacile Township
Death and decay are primary themes within the Souls series, and nothing represents this more than The Abyss.
A literal all-consuming darkness that corrupts everything it touches, this void holds a prominent place within Dark Souls lore, notably in the legend of Artorias the Abysswalker who, long before the events of the game, ventured into the blackness to stop it from swallowing the lands of Oolacile.
In the Artorias Of The Abyss DLC players get to see this legend for themselves when they’re yanked through time and space to these forgotten lands. Although the picturesque gardens we initially arrive at give the impression of a charming holiday location, travelling further into the heart of the township unveils the true nature of the horrors that have grabbed hold here.
As we descend further and further down the ruins of this once thriving township, the sunlight is soon replaced by inky blackness as we fight our way past those unfortunate souls already corrupted by The Abyss.
Make it all the way to the heart of the darkness and your efforts can be rewarded if you find and rescue the adorable puppy Sif, who’ll aid you in the upcoming fight against Manus. You'll need the help.
