This page of the Dark Souls guide will answer how long it takes to complete the game in several ways. Here you will read about: the plot, additional missions, trophies with the completion of the game at 100% and the multiplayer mode.

1. Dark Souls is a souls-like game. This type of games are known for their very complex level of difficulty, pre-imposed by the game's developers. This means that the game for each player may take more or less time, depending on how well they cope with opponents and different obstacles. In case of the story itself, which means dealing with the main bosses, Dark Souls can be completed within 46 hours, if one is able to complete consecutive locations smoothly. However, it is not said that this cannot be done in a longer or shorter time.
2. In order to complete all missions assigned by different NPCs players meet when exploring the world and defeat all optional bosses, completing Dark Souls make take up to 60 hours.
3. By collecting all the bonfires, defeating each boss, collecting each ring, or discovering each end, players can complete the game at 100%, while getting all the trophies. To complete Dark Souls with a platinum achievement one has to play up to 100 hours.

In addition, there is a multiplayer mode that allows you to travel the in-game world with a companion by your side. You can also be this "bad" player and instead chase other players in their worlds for a PvP game. This way one can enjoy the game much longer.
