Where to find Knight Artorias
Artorius is Day 2 boss found only in the Dreglord Expedition. To unlock this, you must first complete The Balancers' Expedition as a random character.
Forsaken Hollows have more powerful bosses, such as The Lord of Blood, at the end of the second day. But be careful when dealing with Artorias. It's a tricky boss to fight head on. I recommend level 10 or higher when you encounter him, and it's good to have the option to attack from mid or long range.
