Please note European Season Pass holders on PSN are not seeing the DLC as free - do not repurchase, follow Namco's updates here

How to access the DLC area
After buying the DLC an item is added to the inventory, the key to access the DLC.
The player must go to the primal bonfire chamber in the Iron Keep and examine an obelisk to be teleported to the entrance of the DLC, a chamber with a locked door that opens with a key received for buying the DLC.
Players that don't have the DLC can be summoned into it by placing their signs in this chamber. The signs will show up inside the DLC.
Also worth noting that with the DLC installed, the tablet in Majula that normally says it is too worn to be read, will now give instructions how to enter the DLC.

Trivia
The entrance to the DLC has 4 stone tablets surrounding it, they each read something different.
They read the following:

"The forbidden is the path to the ancient king's domain"

"Trespassers will face adversity benefitting a monarch"

"In the tower of the Old Iron King resides a Child of Dark"

"With water dry, and path amiss, woeful temptation is dismissed"

It is speculated that the Child of dark that is referred to in this may be another shard of Manus.
