PC archives have both encrypted headers and encrypted files within its data.

Due to the newness of the game and the fact that multiplayer is central to the game, I will not be providing any of my personal research for Dark Souls II publicly (nor will I provide it privately). Cheating was a big problem with the first game, and while there is cheating in Dark Souls II, I am not going to help it get worse for the time being.

Don't ask me about localization tools; if you don't have the resources to develop them yourself you don't need them.

Im with you in this, but Rick can you please at least help me with localization files for X360, its giving me hard time :(.... Archives for X360 is pretty easy, i actually planning to localize this game for consoles only. However loc files are kind of strange .... Our community never cheating just care of translations to our language...

Thx

Understandable, I'd really like to access the game files but I do understand not wanting to make cheating/hacking easier than it already is since the game is very focused on online play, hopefully something can be released later. :)
(I prefer offline mode myself but I've never really liked multiplayer that much.)

I would really like to access the audio files of Dark Souls 2. Is it possible to extract these from any version of the game? (PC, PS3, X360) Would save me a lot of trouble!

Bummer. I completely understand and agree on your decision - however, as a person who is looking into Dark Souls files to grab the armors and weapons for other games (namely Skyrim) it' is a shame that I cannot extract the files without using GeDoSaTo and Ninja Ripper.

  1. Get some sort of way to log your PS3 network activity.
  2. Start (or unpause) the client download.
  3. Sniff the URL it grabs for the install package.
  4. Unpack that package for game data using PS3 package unpacking tools.
As for formats, mostly the same as . At least the archives, not looked at models.
