It is a superbly designed level. Absolute masterly stuff from Miyazaki. Loved exploring the place.

I'm going into this DLC blind but i've heard that it is extremely hard so I started a game over the weekend on New Game Plus so that I could increase the diffuculty a bit more. My character is pretty powered up (now at level 100), i'm 1-2 shotting most normal mobs and I beat Blood Starved Beast last night and he seemed to take more hits than usual before going down, so it looks like I might have my work cut out for me in The Old Hunters DLC. Can anyone confirm if this was a good or bad choice? The more difficult the better. Should I start a new game from the begining or is New Game Plus the best way to increase the difficulty of The Old Hunter's DLC?
I am level 104 on NG+. The DLC is kicking my ass sideways
You have to reload the entire area, I believe.
Go NG++ if you want to have fun with HP bars

I believe in you. Honestly it'd probably be easier without the NPC.

Talk to him dressing a church outfit, a cute one pls.
You will get a solid challenge out of the DLC. The difficulty level overall is quite high compared to the base game, and even other Souls games. More importantly than playing on NG or NG+, though, just try to avoid over-leveling the content if you want to make the most of the difficulty. It's harder to out level the fights in NG+, but just be weary of it. Enjoy!

So, I've been forced to uninstall BB and redownload the DLC 3 times now. Every time I quit the game (and I do the in-game menu quit, not just a system power-down), it seems to corrupt the save. I keep getting a "Unable to Locate the Old Hunters, DLC must be downloaded again to continue" message. Anyone else having this issue? I've restored licenses and rebuilt the database and nothing works.
Having to redownload the DLC wouldn't be a problem if PSN didn't delete the downloaded file once you're done with it... Also, at 9GBs, it takes me 4 hours to download something that would be a 20 minute wait on my PC through Steam.
I've barely made it past the first boss as a result and was looking to see if anyone else was having a similar issue.

Man, I feel like he hits harder than I'm used to! This is NG right?
This is like, NG++(?) I believe for the base game.
Is there a way to tell?
In either case, I put up one hell of a fight on my own there. Got him to a quarter remaining, but then he did his super power thingy

Still need help at Ludwig? If so what's the pass
I feel like she is this game's equivalent to Artorias. Insanely cool duel full of flashy moves with another hunter, but not terribly challenging. She's not quite a push-over, but I feel like she serves that type of purpose.
Speaking of which, can someone explain what everyone's issue with

Oh lol, that would explain it. For the super just get close and circle around as he's charging. Easy to avoid.
Edit: lol 1-shot.
I did.

Thanks for the info guys, looks like I will stick to NG+ as I just don't have time to do another run through and start on NG++ (also i'm dying to see the new DLC content). I though I had the whole weekend to play but managed to only put aside 3 hours of playtime where I had to deal with about 5 crashes to the Ps4 dashboard and 1 hard crash where the Ps4 turned off and when I managed to get it back on the Bloodborne save file had been corrupted!! This has never happened to me before and I was mortified, I remembered I had copied a save file to usb stick the last time I had played (which was over 3 months ago) so I managed to dig that out but had to beat the true last boss again
before starting again on NG+ where I compeltely destroyed everything on my way to Blood Starved Beast who managed to down me twice (I had heaps of trouble with this guy and Amelia on my first playthrough so twice wasn't too bad imo lol).
So yea 3 hours, I managed to get a lot done (picked up every single item, killed every enemy etc), I was gonna take the day off work I was so hungus to play some more but it's end of the month so had some shit to do here. Anyways, looking forward to playing tonight and hopefully I get some signs of where the actual DLC begins as I currently have no idea but because i'm always very throrough I don't think I have seen anything that lets me access the DLC just yet.
