Additional Content



Content provided after the initial release of the game.

For the release of the game for PC, additional content was added to supplement the original game.

The additional content was later provided for download for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles.

Access

Accessing the Additional Content :

The three prerequisites

Kill the Hydra in Darkroot Basin

Kill the Golden Crystal Golem in the back of the Hydra's lake in Darkroot Basin to free Dusk of Oolacile. (You may need to quit and reload the game or leave and re-enter the area for the Golden Crystal Golem to appear.)

Place the Lordvessel in the Firelink Altar.

The above steps will allow the Crystal Golem in The Duke's Archives to add a Broken Pendant to your inventory after it dies. You can kill the Crystal Golem before saving Dusk, but it will not give you the Broken Pendant. As long as the Broken Pendant is in your inventory, it doesn't matter whether Dusk is alive or not. She may be dead, and you can still access the Additional Content.
