To create a cursed Iz you need to use the curse rite material when creating an Iz Root chalice.

I just don't see the option for creating the chalice. I have all the cursed materials.
All I'm seeing in the Isz column is the great Isz chalice.
Do i need to make the great isz chalice, complete it, which unlock the root chalice etc..?

Yes you need the Iz Root Chalice. For that you need to beat the Great Iz Chalice

Did em all solo except for
Laurence
Tried about 8 or so times solo, not even getting him down to 50% health, before I called it.
On NG+++, and I soloed everyone except Ludwig and Laurence. For them, I used Valtr to help take care of the first forms, and then he died immediately after their transformations and I took care of the rest myself. I don't normally summon coop on my first run, but NG+++ Ludwig and Laurence were just getting to be a little too annoying.

I'm on NG++++ and even with co-op I can't get Laurence done either I die too fast or my partners he is cheap.

I've done them all solo except
, and that was because I was at a ridiculously low level (42, used Valtr) trying to snag a Rakuyo as fast as possible.
Ludwig
With Valtr, you can get past the first form pretty easily since he'll act as a tank and draw his attention. He'll die immediately during the second form, but all you have to do then is hang back until he uses the lava breath and then move in on his right side for a single charged R2, then get ready to dodge away. Don't attack him at any other time. It's slow and it takes a while, but I found it to be the best way to take him down.
Oh, also equip some HP runes so he can't one shot you. I had all 3 Clockwise Metamorphosis runes equipped which gave me a little over 2000 hp. Without those, a bunch of the DLC bosses kept one shotting me.
I think it's like "you think you can duel?" Ok, duel this!

for me Valtr sucks he mostly dies in the first phase sometimes survives till next lol
Yup. The most useless boss. Throwaway music too.
Ludwig was challenging, had a great second phase and some of the best design and music for any boss in a souls game. Living failure is aptly named and is a failure in each one of these categories imo.

Outside of the amazing art design, atmosphere, and presentational aspects, I was actually pretty disappointed with the level. I didn't think the level design was particularly exceptional, and I especially didn't like the encounter design. It was mostly just spam hordes, and some bs stuff like giants with casters and ranged dudes nearby. The gameplay design kind of reminded me of Dark Souls 2 tbh. The boss fight and the aforementioned presentation of it helped redeem it though.
I much prefer the first DLC area for encounter design, and the second DLC area for level design.
I've just got to the lower half of the swampy area with the caves and am now enjoying it a lot less. Like the whole DLC, it's a little up an down.

Yeah I agree. First two areas were better. Third areas boss is awesome though. But I think
ludwig
Overall though the second area was one of my favs in the entire game.
Yes, same here. While underneath a building on stilts, I realized "oh shit, this is a VoD homage, but different enough to not be obvious."
It feels much smaller though because it's really four small areas smoothly connected to each other rather than one gigantic bisected lake with a single obvious path and a, err, town(?) at the end of it.
This DLC in particular has me very excited about Dark Souls 3; they have obviously got their level design and boss design philosophy nailed down to a science.
My one gripe is that I could do with a few less "this will obviously be where the short cut is later" tells and "this large room must be a boss fight" that undermines the entire tension of the "no fog door until you've found the boss" concept.

You'll find out after you beat him in each of the locations he shows up at.

okay, so I just got a blood gem that gives Physical ATK up 22.3% but it also increases stamina costs 2.9%
However, after testing it out, i can't see a difference at all with the stamina costs of attacks
Is this gem really as good as it seems?
I also have another one that is Phys ATK up 20.6% but WPN durability down -60.8. That doesn't seem to drop max durability on the weapon, so what is it actually doing? And is it worth the cost for that ATK up?
Side note, finally got Rakuyo and I'm actually kind of disappointed I'm going to build up Church Pick as well because that just seems way cooler...

the stamina increase gems are generally the best cursed games.
the other random curses are way worse.
the best you can get is 27.2% phys and like 3% stamina increase i think
Can you spoil?
I beat him once and nothing happened. Didn't think he had any further relevance.

holy shit. sorry cooper. got one shotted by ludwig
I figured so. I know he's the guy locked up in the nightmare chapel. But it's weird how he comes back every time even after you beat him.

Stamina costs are barely noticeable so they're the best cursed gems.
The durability down doesnt take out durability but makes it decrease faster. It's noticeable, especially with some weapons like Chikage or Burial Blade. They can barely last one Depth 5 Chalice floor.
If you kill
Gehrman
Holy shit that Bowblade is stupidly good. Took down the optional boss really easily by just back dashing and doing charged shots. 500-900 damage per hit. Kinda boring playstyle to be honest but it is really effective atleast on some bosses. Bet it would destroy Ebrietas in seconds.

After you beat him in 2 or 3 locations (forget what number) in the Hamlet, the harrowed hunter should show up by the lighthouse lantern on the floor (if you talked to him in his locations in the other areas). He will give you a key to the underground cell beneath the church where the hunter has locked himself away. You fight him again there and then get the rest of his outfit and his weapon.
Yeah, that's another thing I don't like about that level.
I thought the shortcuts in the third area were more satisfying than the second. When I saw three shortcuts arising out of the same area I was amazed. I loved how everything connected and also visually it was stunning. I will agree on the encounter design though. Second area had the best blend of encounter and level design.
No need to kill the 'invader' at all in order to get Harrowed Hunter show up in Lighthouse Hut. He should be there immediately as long as you talked to him everytime prior to that.

I thought the shortcuts were a little lazy in the third area tbh. They are super obvious, whereas in the other two areas the levels seem crazy intimidating and intricate, and it feels like a reward and surprise when you stumble upon them. The ones in the hamlet are like "here are two doors that don't open from this side right next to the lantern". And you access the shortcuts really quickly since the area itself is probably the smallest/easiest to blow through out of the three.
Ah gotcha. I must not have noticed him on the floor then.
