Fuck, I gotta level up. I can't beat this first boss at 75. To Mergo's loft I go.

I can't even make it to the first boss at level 74.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Already beat the entire DLC!

Actually, that's not what it was. I had to

Spoiler

use Arianna's blood before she would give me hers. She kept saying "do come back if you ever run out of saint's blood". So I consumed Arianna's blood and now she gave me her blood.

Looks like it'll progress now. Thanks guys!

Weird, that's what worked for me and I

Spoiler

haven't used her blood at all.

Kudos on beating it!

Why you do this to me From?(third area enemies spoilers)

the shark brothers in the well

and

Spoiler

that winter latern out of nowhere

. Why?

Great DLC, overall same difficulty as the main game in NG. Way harder in NG+ but still doable. Some of the fights reminded me of the glorious

Spoiler

artorias and raime

fights from the Dark Souls series and that is awesome. Also, what a great soundtrack!

After being wrecked so many times i got a hang of their movesets and made it a point to go and kill both of them repeatedly. I think i got 2mil souls from that.

 

[SRTtoZ]

So, I beat Amelia, triggered the cut scene, went back to hunters dream and there's no eyeball for me to pick up. What did I do wrong?

1) Make sure you bought the DLC (lol)
2) Go to Settings>PSN>Restore licenses
3) Restart PS4.
4) item should be at the base of the steps in the Hunters Dream

The Doll is totally based in Maria, right? Oh, Gehrman...

Spoiler

Oh yeah, the Doll is totally supposed to be a Maria replacement. They have the same hair color, same brooch, and I think they even have the same voice.

How hard is this on NG+? Wondering if I should start all over for this DLC.

Doing this on NG+ at lv154 and I feel a bit overpowered. Just beat the 3rd boss and the first was still took the most number of attempts so far.

Getting the Rakuyo was harder for me than most bosses in this dlc.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Damn. We're playing this, the hunter enemies in the first area are nutso!!

 

[Drewfonse]

So can I assume that the DLC scales in difficulty with each successive + game? Cuz I have a level 165 in ng+++, and I'm kinda scared to play this shit.

 

[Finalow]

I feel like I'm going to have fun using Madaras Whistle in pvp. can do some really heavy damage if used with 50 Bloodtinge.

 

[Yosei]

Exactly, I'm completely clueless >_<

Me too, it was going pretty well

Spoiler

basically just knowing what happened to ludwig, laurence and every other hunter(including probably my character in the future)

(main game ending spoiler)

Spoiler

if you consider the "death" ending ofc

but that final part just added even more

Spoiler

questions and mystery about the nightmare creatures and great ones

.

I'm fine with that tho as I feel any explanation would simply not be enough or even satisfying at all and I love creating my own theories.

You can do it!

Spoiler

The hard part was getting the anchor giant alone when phase 2 started. That, and he could 3 shot me when motivated. Just remember to just run around the middle pillar (well massive piece of land) if you get into trouble. Thankfully it's not a long reset if you've kicked the ladder down.

So what's up with the dead kos and her orphan? If the great one is dead then why is the dream still active ?

 

[Anung]

I ended up being under-leveled for the first boss so had to go and do some other areas. After getting my ass stomped all day I went back and it ended up feeling like a proper fair fight. Loved it

 

[Wagram]

Good god those two assholes in the well. Finally beat it >.>

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Thats not the fight to get her wep :V

Oohh I thought he meant getting to her. Never mind lol.

 

[Egg0]

Can you not fast travel to the lamp in the hunter's nightmare?

I'm still pretty early on, but I'm still just going to the entrance by the cathedral ward. Also don't know why the cutscene plays every single time.

Just finished this. Definitely didn't expect the second one to join. Used the pillar in the center to my advantage and separated them.

I swear those things sound exactly like me hurling.

Hmm... You're at 164 on NG+ and I'm lvl 143 on NG++. Time to far it is.

Honestly it could be NG++. I had long since started other characters and I don't remember.

I've tried several different sets of garbs and runes, but can't nail it down.

To the right. There is also a NPC summon just past that area.

 

[KCroxtonJr]

Holy shit. The Saw is OP as fuck lol, the way I just beat the last boss on my first try...LOL. I basically stun-locked him almost the entire last half of the fight with the 2H L2, I had to save that video.

[Yosei]

Spoiler

No idea to be honest,

Spoiler

before the DLC I had the impression Kos was some kind of powerful divine interdimensional entity like Odeon. In fact I still do. Maybe that was just a fragment of kos, one that wanted to have a physical presence like ebrietas had but failed. When we kill its shadow, we kill that fragment but kos is still present so the nightmare created because of its fragment still remains, much like amygdala

but ya, I don't know, as all I said it's pretty much based on heavy interpretation.
