Oh yes, gotg tier game
Don't know about DS3, but i'm dying to see what Miyazaki's inspirer will bring with The Last Guardian
They won't. I seriously have hard time believing that DS3 will be better than this. Just because it has medieval setting already makes it not as good.
I though he was
the "dude" that was wandering around at the start of the Fisherman place
Yeah, I'm kind of doubtful that DS3 will achieve the same level of vibe and design. I hear that the network test was fun, but it doesn't give me the same vibes that the original Dark Souls and Bloodborne have (from watching the videos). I hope I'm wrong.

I'm almost positive DS3 will be better than this (to me). Bloodborne is a sick PVE game and that's it. The Souls game have great PVE and solid PVP.
To people that have finished the new DLC on NG. What level are/were you?
One of my alts is lvl 74 and is on NG+ but I'm already higher than that on NG just doing the DLC and in the normal areas I just had got to the Lecture Hall.

I straight up feel bad for anyone that had that transition spoiled. Now all the media is using phase 2 Ludwig for some reason. I pretty much dropped my controller right there, paced around my lounge room for a solid minute before going berserk on here then going back about 20 minutes later.
Shit was hype as fuck.

I just got there. I'm down to co op it with you if you don't mind helping me afterwards.

I can help, give me a minute to get there
Of course!
defeated all 5 bosses in the DLC solo with no help!...victory!...I played in regular NG so I can only imagine the difficulty in NG+ and higher...I'm sure there are some things I missed as far as items and secrets so time to read a walkthrough...I know those brain fluid things meant something but I never found out what it was
Bumping. Come on you guys, don't you pride yourself on being one of the more welcoming and informative fanbases?

If you explore thoroughly you should be able to get everything. One sidequest is pretty hard to uncover completely though.
That and I really think that Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2 both lack atmosphere especially when comparing to Demon's Souls and Bloodborne. Also Dark Souls 2 left a bad taste for the series.
I was around 80 on my second run on NG and I thought the difficulty was fine all the way through. Challenging but not too challenging.
Still ringing?
Not that I can think of. just in case , say yes to every npc to complete their quests and get the good stuff.
Sony recommends a level of 65 for average players accessing the new areas in the DLC...for a NG+ playthrough youre going to need a level of about 130 to cut it against these bosses, because they are some of the most difficult in the game
I was 110 and got up to the first boss just fine, but he bitchslapped me, I'm now around 120 and finally started to recognize his patterns and he seems doable. So I would say 120+?

Gawd dayum.
Best getting grinding then. About 30-40 levels behind.
65 for NG...130 for NG+
I think they recommended 115 for NG+?
I finished (well, I still have the optional boss) NG++ on 130. Areas aren't that bad but the first and fourth boss... god fucking lord 2 hours on each lol second and third are way easier in comparison.
I predict another 2 hours atleast for the optional boss.
VIT as high as you can (I had 1890 although you could go with some less) and a weapon+10 and decent gems are a must IMO.
Level 83 on NG+ would be rough for the DLC IMO. You should level up to +100 atleast. Yeah I think on your way to Amelia you'll get close to 100, and after that you can go inside the DLC and level up with the enemies there. The roadblock is the first boss mostly.

Think I need to practice a bit more. Don't want to ruin your attempts. Hoppin off, had put the game down then I saw your message and thought why not? Goodluck!
Alright, don't worry about it - we nearly got him that time!
Arjen
Member
I'm still there if you need help
Certainly do - not gonna stop until we get him down

Jesus Christ this is bad ass. Can't believe I didn't hear it when I was fighting him.
Anyway, I love the Souls series. There's so much quirkiness and random shit that's sometimes horrifying, yet charming at the same time. I mean I just helped some lady (minor side quest spoiler)
turn into a fucking blob
Very good DLC so far even though it reuses assets and some areas look familiar. Well worth a $20 purchase for any Soulsborne fan.

Ah ok thanks. In that case I'll aim to get past Amelia over the next month or so inbetween other games and then purchase the DLC once I'm there. As like you say, at least i can level up in the new areas at that point

I'm level 134 in NG+ and im finding it very challenging. I had to summon to beat the 1st boss and will probably have to for the 2nd as well.
Now that was fun. Got even my first ever parry on him. Didn't react fast enough to it though haha.

A combo'd L1 transformation attack on the Boom Hammer seems to be doing some fire damage, so I'm pretty sure doing a combo like R1->L1->R1 (or R2) counts as three fire attacks in a row. This thing is doing insane damage on my 50 arcane build.
Plus the charged R2 is pretty much a faster, stronger Stake Driver R2. With more reach, and an AOE.

Holy mother of God. This elevates Bloodborne to the best soundtrack ever. Holy shit, so good.
No problem! I love fighting that asshole.
Oh boy. Have fun with that. It isn't too bad on NG though.
It's pretty good but I typically don't really get wild about most Souls music. Standard orchestral stuff is fine in the moment but I rarely get really moved by any of it. Gehrman's theme being the exception in Bloodborne. None of the music in the DLC really caught my attention outside of just being in service their respective fights.
I preferred how quirky and weird they were trying to be with Demon's Souls, and like most aspects, it's still unbeaten in the series. Flamelurker forevah.
Yeah with +100 I meant around 120-130. Sorry I wasnt clear.
Thanks for the help! While I'm glad my friend is enjoying the game i really want him to finish it fast so I can start this ( ._.)
