About

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die is an expanded version of the console game Dark Souls. Next to the original gameplay it adds in additional content slip-streamed into the main game:

  • General gameplay tweaks
  • Multiplayer arena as a training ground for online PvP battles: duels (one versus one), team battles (two versus two) and four-player FFA matches
  • New bosses (Black Dragon, Sanctuary Guardian, Artorias of the Abyss)
  • New enemies (Wooden scarecrows, Chained Prisoner, Stone Knight)
  • New NPCs (Hawkeye Gough, Elizabeth)
  • New weapons and armor
  • Oolacile as a new area, split up into four smaller sections

For the Windows platform, this is the first release of the game.

New content was also made available on PS3 and X360 as a separate DLC item titled Dark Souls: Artorias of the Abyss.
