You can still access Lost Archive DLC if you have Standard Edition of the game.

(Backup your original saves before doing this in case something happens)

This is how I managed to get the DLC running as I can not purchase it officially on steam after they removed it from the store.

Step 1 - Download the DLC files from link below
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15CduUHYobm28ppsrtQdfAODVX1MR7fdD/view?usp=drive_link

Step 2 - Extract and copy files to your game folder.

Step 3 - Download DLC unlocker file from link below
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x2whrpoZmKavODQKtKIv5LDyZWq4lt2q/view?usp=drive_link

Step 4 - Extract and copy the file to savegame location
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\*random number*\40
(Only replace 1.save. Do not touch 2.save)

Step 5 - Disable cloud save sync in uPlay Connect app (This is very important to make this solution work.)

Step 6 - Launch the game, load your save and equip the DLC exclusive outfit so that the game saves your progress. (You should notice the Lost Archive DLC option in main menu too when you launch the game.)

Step 7 - Close the game. Enable cloud save sync in uPlay Connect app. Relaunch the game and select the upload Local Save option when it prompts you to choose.

Step 8 - Open Lost Archive in Main Menu and check if it launches (It also instantly unlocks all the Desmond Sequences too in case you haven't collected enough Animus Fragments.)

Again, backup your original save game files in case something goes wrong.

If this work for you then congratulations and you can get 100% Achievements for your game now.
And don't forget to comment if this solution works for you.

This also removes the need to purchase Gold Edition from 3rd party stores and activate the key on uPlay Connect.

That's a pity, that you have to redo all the steps every time. But its better than not being able to play it. Great tutorial anyway, worked for me the second time also.

Thats because when you uninstall the game, it deletes all the files including extra files you placed. Files which you copied into game folder doesnt get uploaded on steam server. So when you install the game again, it only downloads the legit files from steam server. (Excluding the DLC files, because they just dont exist on steam server). So yes you have to repeat the steps again if you did reinstallation of game or want to play on another pc. Sorry there is no other workaround for that.

Everytime you install the game on a new pc or simply do a reinstall, you have to redo all the steps in the tutorial. Maybe I did something wrong, maybe its only for ubisoft connect/uplay and for steam it works normally, but for me it doesnt save the files when doing reinstall and I had to redo all the steps

I discovered something. When you once do all the steps, then delete the game entirely and then download it and install it once again, you have to redo all the steps. The new files which you put into your game files dont get saved and put into ubisoft connect. You cannot even see afterwards the Lost Archive in the main menu. I thought, that if you once do all the steps then you dont have to repeat them if you want to play on a new pc, but unfortunatelly you do....

Is there any to make it work once and for all?
