I thought the same thing, but then I realized that it wasn't said that it was two expansions, but two DLCs, which would be smaller.
Thinking about it that way, the length of the expansion makes sense.

What VIT should I be looking at? Just browsing through the thread, I'm noticing a lot of people saying Skill based builds aren't that great so I guess I need to pump more into strength?
Right now I'm using a +5% and +10% HP Rune and a +15% stamina Rune.
For my Bloodgems... I'm using Tempering Damp Blood Gem...I've added +318 attack.
Effects are
Phy ATK Up +11.6%
Add Phy ATK +6.9
Phy ATK UP +12.1%
Add Phy ATK +6.6
Phy ATK UP +12.6%

For end game builds people usually go for 50.
For damage just increase STR a bit, might not even need that. Ludwig Sword with pure Phy ATK Up % gems can still be devastating.
This was a fun area with lots of secrets and it was challenging to figure out how to get stuff. One problem, I am not sure I cleared out the very top area in the rafter before falling down to to do the boss....is there any way to get back up after moving the staircase?
yep. This was me in phase 2
The boss in the Dark Souls 3 Network Test was amazing. High hopes for the game.

The current version is 1.07. Press Option on the Bloodborne icon in the PS4 menu, the select "information"
Maybe it downloaded automatically, it was the case for me.
Sure, what boss do you have left ?

I also want to do it in coop, I've already clean the DLC in this game. I'm just sitting here but there are nobody who need coop partner for her :/

Was going to say that 27hours is really long time for a Souls / Bloodborne veteran but then I watched it and realized that he used only Beast Claws and apparently no Attire set. That might be little bit harder.

Blind run past Frenzy Brains, expertly jump out the way of jumping slime people, masterfully bolt past lightning summoners (how does that even work? We're inside!)

Ran through all of the DLC on a new character. Went in there at level 64 and the difficulty felt about right. Closer to what you'd deal with at the start of the game before it tapers off challenge wise. All up it took about 4 hours give or take. Could have been faster but I just can't seem to get the hang of OoK second form. Beat him just like I did the first time. Basically said fuck it when I ran out of vials and did 30% of his health with no heals lol
I didn't beat Lorenzo on my NG+ dude so this was my first victory. The first half of the fight is some obnoxious shit. Dodge but get hit by flames anyway because fuck you. His damage output seems alright but there's one particular swipe that does completely bonkers damage. I got picked up by his grab once and it only did 50%. That swipe which can be combo'd into can did 90% of my health with 40 vit. Initially I was doing the no lock on thing and running around his right side trying to get some hits in on his leg. It worked but I kept getting hit by a swipe as he pivoted into position. Since I was using a whip I switched it up and just stood back and slapped his face after every combo. Went over really well. Second phase was a complete mess but not exactly difficult.
Pretty shitty fight tbh lol

Went through Luran and Defiled Chalice with it today, it was a breeze. Transforming dodge attack is incredibly safe if you're doing a hit and run thing.

if you select the game shortcut on the home screen, press options, you should get the option to check for the latest patch or at least information on what patch you currently have. Chances are you downloaded it and didn't know

indeed. Pain in the arse to manage unless you use a shaman bone or 2.

When does Simon leave first boss room? I thought he was supposed to be at lamp at next area. Every time I go to first boss lamp he still there and says same thing.

I think there's a ladder? I'm not sure. Also i forgot to open the door at the bottom
You nailed it. I wish all other games would strive for the same excellence in controls.
I shudder to imagine a Witcher 3 type of RPG with controls akin to BB.
The Old Hunters expansion made me go back and finally get that Bloodborne Platinum trophy I didn't have. The only trophies I were missing were the first two endings and beating Y

. I flew through ng+ plus and only did the required bosses finishing the Platinum at level 171 but in doing so I burnt myself out on Bloodborne and now I don't want to play the dlc... I done goofed.

Church Pick would be my choice out of those. Great and fast moveset with good damage. If you have high enough BT Bowblade might also be a good choice but the playstyle for it is pretty boring unless you like dashing away from bosses and shooting from a safe distance away without having to worry about getting hit.
Yeah I tried the Bowblade but between the bullet consumption and the change in playstyle I'm not sure it's for me, at least as a main weapon. Debating mostly between the Church Pick and the Rakuyo. The transformed version of the Saif is awesome, very fast, but I'm not digging the other version.

What the fucking fuck is up with that things second phase? God damn this looks borderline impossible.

My first attempt at the DLC is on NG++ from the only character I have. At first I loved it because it was so hard. Now I'm starting to question if I'll ever beat it. I'm at level 196 and 50/45/50/50 across the top 4 stat categories. I'm getting my ass beat by some of the hunters though. They're harder than bosses in the original game.
I'm thinking I might just start a new character at this point and time. I know, I know. Git gud. I platinum'd this game using this character only so I don't know why I'm having such a hard time.

Not sure that will help you. Those hunters felt about the same as a lvl 150 on NG+++ with crap gems as it did on my alt doing it on NG with a +10 cane.
All hunter can be beaten with a mix of gun parrying and dodging behind as they attack and countering.
What gems are you rocking?
These DLC weapons are so good. My Str build is now using Whirligig Saw and Beast Cutter and the latter is really badass when transformed. Whirligig Saw L2 is way too good. Stunlocked hunters into corner with it.
First boss against Whirligig Saw
Optional boss against Bowblade
edit.
You will love it by the end of it.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to reach the DLC and I can't get by the blood-starved beast. I get it down to quarter health and it's fucking impossible. I'm in NG+
First off, I go in with plenty of antidotes and lots of fire paper for my Ludwig's Holy Blade, which is +9. I'm also wearing my most slow poison-resistant armor.
I summon Alfred AND someone online to help and they still go down.
Do the oil jugs help when my blade is on fire? Any other tips? Lots of visceral attacks?
What the hell do I do? I think I've lost 300,000 blood echoes fighting this fuck.
I know all of you are deep into the Old Hunters, I want to get there really badly. Sorry.

If you're that early in the game, why not start a New Game character for it?
Picked this up with the 10% off coupon on PSN.
Dark Souls noob here... Got my ass kicked for quite some time on Friday night. Very frustrating game when you first pick it up but I'm definitely hooked! I beat the Cleric beast and Father G(something) last night. Can't remember the last time it felt that good to take down a "boss" in a game.

Honestly I think the opening area of Bloodborne is one of the most challenging opening areas of a Souls game. I'd call myself a Souls-veteran and even I struggled a bit when I rolled out a new character in Yharnam for the first time.
I was just thinking I'd get wrecked in the DLC. Don't you need to be at a high level to stand a chance or does it scale to your level?
