Artorias of the Abyss is a phenomenal DLC pack that is pretty much everything a DLC should be. It has 2 great levels, even compared to the phenomenal ones in the base game, and 4 awesome bosses that push the players skill beyond what the base game wanted from the player. As someone who's first souls game was DSR (and has it tied with TOTK as my favorite game OAT), I never actually played the dlc until I 100%ed the game, as I didn't even realize it was bundled in with the remastered collection. My character was like NG+6 and I made a very smart decision in having like 60 points in VIT and 30 in strength, making me extremely underpowered and not even being able to get past the second boss. However on subsequent playthroughs I went through the dlc in the intended ng cycle, and came back later once I learned the bosses' movesets to my knowledge of them in the base game and managed to finish it up on my original character. My only real gripes with the DLC is that the final area has one sorcerer in an annoying spot, making me take a hidden shortcut on subsequent runs to kill it as I attempt the final boss, and that of the 4 phenomenal bosses, the first intro boss (sanctuary guardian) is a bit of a let down, and I don't have much personal attachment to it or get much joy from besting it. Still a great DLC pack, but definitely some gripes which hold it back from being one of my favorites in the game.
