How do I get to the AotA locations

Hello folks,

I don't find any hints on how I can get to the Artorias of the Abyss locations.
I should have them because I play DS Prepaire To Die Edition for PC.
Then I always read "DLC" This must be "downloadable content", right?
Do I have to download something at first or how do I get to these areas?
Where are the entry points to check this?

Many thanks for your help

best wishes!

No it's in the default game.

Ok kill the hydra at the bottom of darkroot basin, then kill the gold crystal golem firther down from the hydra. Free dusk. Then go to the beginning of the dukes archives and kill the first golem you see. He's the dudes before the 1st channeler, just starring at the corner of the wall. He'll drop a pendant(chances are you've already done this). now return to where you freed dusk from the golden golem. there should be something strange there, touch it.

Thanks!
