Initially, I attempted it at level 30 with a Hunter's Axe +3 but the Hunter enemies made it far too troublesome to progress. Right now, I'm 54, which is much more manageable with a bit more haelth.

Alright, just got the DLC installed. My save is pretty much at the beginnign of an NG+ playthrough with a lvl 104 character. What's a good level to start the DLC at?

Most people say 120+, with a heavy emphasis on making sure you've pumped up VIT.

I finally beat the living failure.
Yeah, parrying their normal right hand punch is easy. What throws me of is their leaping attack and their sack. Haven't really figured out the distance at which they perform their leap attack (which actually 1-hit KOs me at my current level, I think). Sometimes I'm quite close and they jump straight in my face, other times they jump at me when I'm so far away there is no way they'll reach me.
I guess their buff is when they briefly glow red, and afterwards they start running at you, right?
Thanks! Still hoping for a DeS/DaS1 PS4 port, then I can play them all on the same console with the DS4

I cannot beat OoK. NG++ here.
I can survive and get to phase two with evasive long play. But I can't reliably stagger for the visceral and phase two is really hard to actually fight.

I entered it at 104 today and I've been fine. Haven't had time to reach a boss yet though so that tone may change quickly haha

Thanks for the input. I've got a bit to go before I can even access the DLC, so I'm sure I'll be some levels higher. I just need to learn how to play the game again. I haven't played it since I finished the game during the initial release window, as I assumed there wouldn't be any DLC at the time. I forgot so much that I had to look in the manual to see how to use Blood Vials.
50 vit,20 end, 50/25 str/skill or skill/str or whatever main and secondary stat your build uses. This is the bare minimum for NG+ imo if you don't want to get shit stomped.

I think I'm alright for the time being. Even though I'm at the beginning of NG+, I'm killing everything I've come across so far in 1-2 hits.

Probably the patch to fix the free dlc exploit

Edit: nvm
I just helped someone lol
The scrubber enemies in the DLC outside of a few shouldn't be too much trouble. The bosses are where things get nasty.

All is as it should be, then. That's pretty much what I've come to expect from these games.

We also got "Gank squad is underrated"
I"m trying to learn the parry timings to make things easier. Their wind up is so goddamn long.
Well that is true. Gank Squad is a pretty pulse pounding fight and isnt really replicated in any other boss. I'm much more unhappy about the third boss in the other two dlc to be honest.

I struggled against that boss more than I should have. In fact, I'm pretty shit against most of the so-called 'easy' bosses in this game.
I breezed past Martyr Logarius on my first attempt but Celestial Emissary killed me twice.

Finally got OoK down. That fight had my heart racing. I was all out of vials lol. Bloodborne is back to being 100%. Yay.

It's common.
Okay, at least I know it's not just me. Thanks
Bigger boat.
The unarmed ones are easy - they can be parried or you can dash through their attacks. The ones with the anchors - don't lock on and roll to their right. Parry time is a bit more precise. Or you could just ignore them, unless you want the Rakuyo.

The only way you get the new weapons is within the DLC areas, right?

Any tips for the first dlc boss? It's totally clobbering me.
Correct.
Man, some people are just too good at the game. Talking to a friend right now and he killed bothandLudwigon two tries each.Orphan
It's like,
"Wait until youman, I spent two hours fighting him"Ludwig
"Oh yeah, I killed him already" ¯\_(ツ
Damn skilled players lol
I beat all the bosses with only 5 or 6 deaths. It's funny because I suck at most other games.

God's had his chance.
Wait a damn minute.... cheesing the sharks - naturally nbd - BUT
how in the living hell did he not take frenzy damage from the brain ladies? Like... seriously... am i completely space cadet or something? I got frenzy gear out the yang and all it does is slow down the build up timer... not make me completely immune to the biz...
wait... is it because he's in a visceral when it procs? Does Visceral shield you from freakin frenzy damage???!!!!
Yeah you are completely invincible during a visceral.
Not looking through all these pages to see if it's been posted but a Japanese player defeated
at level 4 NG +7 with no visceral attacks and took no damage. He's makes it look so easy!

1 gun you need to buy, but everything else yes.
X is not dodge, X is not dodge, X is not dodge, X IS NOT DODGE!
Damn you Monster Hunter controls. >.<
I had to look up where to go to start the DLC. I started a new character went around killing all sorts of stuff until I finally caved and looked it up. I absolutely gave Martyr Loggy an ass kicking though. I was really baiting to try and get the back stab in which was what got me through this boss in my low level Cane run but the cane's strong attack is faster than Ludwigs. I managed it but the timing was pretty tight.
