Oh even weirder
the doll uses the clip.....so Gherman or someone made the doll in Maria's image, possibly with real hair as well

Probably
Gherman since he was a master crafstman and the DLC mentions he has some kind of obsession, likely with Maria
Doll was indeed made by Maria's image. Gerhman was her hunter teacher and he made de doll after she killed herself.

You shouldnt give up, I can give you a hand again. Let the boss rush me. He is quite simple, you just have to be patient and not get greedy when you get an opening. Make sure you equip all the suitable runes and outfits thats resistant towards fire and only deal one blow at a time when there is an opening.
You should get to Mensis pretty easily and you can farm there even faster if you even need to considering the amount of Echoes you get from ToR and M. As for the recommended level you should atleast try it with lvl65 before being 'annoyed' about it. You might consider the area to be easy/decently balanced around that level. Lot of people have played this game last time when they beat it in March/April so no wonder they have hard time coming back when the enemies and bosses are way harder in the DLC than in the main game.
I agree though that they could have informed little bit more about what they recommend you to have when entering the DLC.

I'm almost through the enitre expansion (only one boss remaining) and I must say that the expansion is pretty fucking hard. Harder than anything else in the main game (except for the dungeons).
The rest of the game feels so easy after you experience getting smashed 20 times in a row by the same damn cthulu or f

sorry, that's just my assumption, seeing as how you find her before fighting her. Don't worry I didnt spoil you anything.
One thing I like about the DLC is that it shows
How monstrous the churches are and how fucked up everything was before it all fell apart. Just a bunch of people clearly messing with things they didnt understand and could not/ would not be able to control. Really kind of show that the world of Bloodborne deserved the destruction it was given.

As long as you havnt gone into NG+ the item you need will just be in the hunters dream.
So just killing the last boss preserves the save. I was worried that the save would automatically be converted to NG+ or something. Thanks!
edit: I MISUNDERSTOOD. DON'T ACTUALLY KILL THE LAST BOSS UNTIL READY FOR NG+
do this.....really to beat the first boss of the DLC I got all the way up to defeating
Mergo
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT DOES NOT PRESERVE THE SAVE DO NOT KILL THE LAST BOSS IN THE BASE GAME. TH WORLD WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONVERT TO NG+ IF YOU KILL

Wow, I have just beaten the first boss on my first try. My hands are still trembling, because this Mofo hunter i met minutes ago was already giving me a nervous breakdown.
The boss, dayum! Maybe the most epic fight (or phase 2 to be more precisely) in the whole series. Dad music!!!!
I'm beating a dead horse here, but no other game gives me those kinds of thrills.
My personal top 5 of climaxes:
1. orgasm
2. becoming a father
3. beating a boss in dark souls
4. finishing final exams
5. getting a promotion
;P

Yessss finally killed OoK. It didn't go into its second phase until it had like 1/6 of its health left. Thank god since the first phase isn't hard at all, but it's second phase might be the hardest in the whole game.
I see what you did there...

I think I dun goofed playing this on NG rather than starting a new character.
Up to the first boss, everything was manageable if not challenging (which is good) except for those massive dudes with sickles.
But boy oh boy is the first boss hard. I think the problem is NG bosses have too much health. Sure I do more damage but its not the same balance as first playthrough.
Even summoning Harriett I get pummeled. Best I've done so far is 30% damage. And its costing me insight to resummon.
Do bosses have more health summoning an NPC? Current SL is 88.

If
The Hunters Dream is on fire....do not ...I repeat DO NOT go to the area with flowers until you have completed the DLC. Gherman asks you a question and if you answer it "wrong" you will be kicked to NG+ immediately without even fighting him
The difficulty spikes in the DLC are crazy.
Congrats, I know you were struggling with that yesterday.

You should definitely have sex while defeating a boss :v
Don't go into the DLC in NG+ if you are not at least around lvl 100-120 and have good gems and maxxed weapons
and are ready for a world of pain
Hold off before the last boss and go into DLC if you are not "gud" enough
. It's really easier in NG.Krusenstern

Yes, the more cooperateurs you summon the more health the boss will have.
Level 88 should actually suffice. I've beaten the first boss at around 60 or so, but I did summon help.
Btw, if you join the Leage covenant you can summon Valtr instead of Henriett. He's a bigger help in my opinion since he can even stagger the boss. I would summon people with hard hitting weapons for the first boss fight.

It's the same on any NG. The bosses in the DLC (well three of them) have way more health / armour than anything else in the entire game. It was the same for me on both a new char in NG and my main in NG+++. Compared to even the last boss in the last chalice dungeon.
Put it this way. My main on NG+++ at about lvl 151 took 3 goes to kill watchdog and 2 to kill the final chalice boss. I did those for the first time this weekend. It took me 6 hours to kill Ludwig lol.

Anyone have any tips for the parry window on the giant shark/anchor guys? Their hits are so delayed I'm never sure when to shoot.
Especially on the damn sliding charge, which I don't even know how to dodge.
Thanks, it was pretty brutal.

Basically always when they're just about to finish the strike. Was pretty much impossible to parry the anchor giants without getting hit as well.
But one thing that helped me killing the two shark/frog giants in the well (fi

Good times... after you beat all the Chalice bosses, nothing in the main game can stop you. Don't know if i can help. I'm NG+ lvl 128. Afaik you can coop chalices.
Have forgotten all the moves from good ol Amy though since i platinumed BB 5 months ago..
I need your chalice glyph code.
Ok, you want me to die, then (or the woman). I don't think the human body was constructed for so much lust. 8O

Level 60 but NG or regular? That makes a big difference.

Oh, you're NG+? Well, then it's time to level up. The DLC is already fucking hard on the first playthrough. Can't imagine how insane it is at NG+.

Just attempt the optional boss, Welp got him down to his second phases on my first attempt...died cause he "chipped" away at my hp T_T
Thanks I really appreciate. Just quote this to see the glyph code. (Hope I did it right).
Don't go into the DLC in NG+ if you are not at least around lvl 100-120 and have good gems and maxxed weapons. It's a pretty good challange in NG+and are ready for a world of pain

at lv 94 I'm suffering a world of pain in just NG.. I won't even bother with NG+
this might be the hardest thing I have ever played in my life

Actually it wasn't that bad on NG++ with lvl140-150. Thought it was pretty perfect balance of not too hard but not a cakewalk either.
no dungeon found with this glyph
Sorry, just realized I had to share it. You should be able to see it now.

I guess it is NG+, I was saying NG this whole time but NG refers to first playthrough, ya? Fuck.
Side note, what new weapons do you guys recommend for a) Skill users and b) overall best new weapon?
I can't afford to level up all of them to experiment but they are useless on NG+ without leveling up.
