Quoting for the new page.
Chalice dungeons' difficulty don't change with NG+, so echoes shouldn't change either.
Funny how some struggle with certain bosses in the From series, while others don't at all. And vice versa - (boss spoilers)
Shame about the length of the DLC, it feels like a dessert more than anything. Never complain to having more Bloodborne though!
Downed Ludwig, Celestial, Maria all first shot. Kos and Laurence though... Fuck them both. Kos in particular - Laurence feels artificial with the second phase damage windows. Makes Ebrietas look like a chump. At least Kos was aggressive, I had to actively adapt my playstyle to take that mother down

Nope, except for the Vermin farming to complete the League sidequest.
Fun Fact of Old Hunters DLC,
If you completed the League sidequest and summon Valtr on the DLC, His phantom confirms He is the constable who ate the beast and get the title of Beast eater and he is not wearing the bucket helmet since he gave it to you on the end of the League sidequest.
If you dont complete the league sidequest he will appear as the League Master with her Bucket helmet instead.

is there a way to get the deer-horn costume?
Yeah, everyone at my work plays all the From games some of the bosses i get stuck on I get infuriated with when they don't get stuck on. Then there are bosses that they all hate that I generally get through without a problem. It's one of the awesome things about their games.

Yes, Bradon invades you in several key places, every first time you defeat him in that area will drop a part of his armor set except for the weapon.
Use a Church armor set and speak to him
actually if you wear any piece of church armor you can
get the sword by talking to him without the need to kill him

I'm looking for you right now!
I laughed way too hard at this. It is true though.

Yay, finally got it. Accidentally ran into the first boss room on the last run as I was doing it off memory. Safe to say I got destroyed.

Exactly right - depending on your playstyle, some bosses are easier than easier for certain people. I'm an aggressive player, so bosses like Kos and Laurence who demand patience push me, similar to Flamelurker in Demon, or the triplets in Dark Souls 2.
Overall though, highly rate the DLC. length may be lacking, but content wise, we got plenty of new weapon, a ton of new lore to pour over, and quite a few viable builds as well. PVP and chalice over the next few months is going to be excellent! Right after I finish Dark Souls again that is - I've got this weird hankering for it now...

Took down (third boss spoiler)
she really puts a fight, and is one of the coolest fights in bloodborne
Also fuck those giant shark dudes, fuck them hard.
Lady Maria
whe she goes all chikage on you I was like that's cool, then she added fire and parry attacks, and I was like..."holy shit!" only took me 3 tries or so, so it was doable. Also this basically confirms that the doll is her, Gerhman made the doll using her image (and maybe partially her spirit or something?)

DSP rage quits the old hunters after getting his ass handed to him by
over and over

I'm not quite sure why he bumped it up to NG+. I was curious as to how he'd approach it and he seemed to be doing fine yesterday. However 50+ deaths in 90 minutes and he's saying the DLC was designed for only the upper echelon of gamers.

I wanted to see him rage against. oh wellOrphan of Kos
can't believe he sat there and did it for 3 hours tho lol
Yup. What I fail to understand is why one immediately blames the game for 60+ deaths when FROM Software went well out of there way to add options. There are more ways than ever to summon npcs or other players to remove roadblocks. This way allows for challenge for the more advanced user and it lifts the burden off the more casual fan with ways to ease the difficulty.
Honestly, he should have taken a break. I had to take one, and then I came back and killed it on the second try. That was in the 20+ death range myself.
Holy fucking christ (first boss spoiler)
on NG++ kicked my ass like nothing else in this or any other Souls game ever did. I had no chance. I got through the previous content fine - died A LOT and felt like it was harder than anything else in Bloodborne, but I loved it. That boss on NG++ though? I couldn't do it. No way.
I had to get the help of an NPC AND another player...and even then it was close as hell. At least the way he died made me feel kind of awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2kDUJvYJso
Have to say though: After playing Witcher 3 with all it's options to play the DLC, this is kind of a kick in the nuts. If I want to use my main character I have to play in NG++-mode, if I start a new one I first have to level him several hours to be ready for the DLC. This thing needs some option to go offline, create a new Character with Level 60, 70 or something that I can't use online and just immediatly start the DLC. Or, even better: Give me the option to start a New Game+ after fighting the last boss and don't just start it immediatly. Back then I wanted to finish the games two times but because of that I now first had to play to Amelia again (which, I admit, didn't take too long) and the DLC is probably a lot harder than intended on your first run.

So, I need some help for the Eileen the Crow sidequest. I'm pretty sure I met her the first time, but that was before I started back up to do the DLC so its been a while. I don't think I talked to her the second time near cathedral ward and she isn't there now.
Do I need to open the hunter emblem gate for her to appear? I already beat Amelia without ever opening that gate.
The Oedon Tomb lamp is still choosable, so that means the fight isn't going on...
Any suggestions?

is it night time? i think that's when she shows up.
I'm exactly in his shoes. If you are a casual Souls player like myself that seems the logical thing to do. I already have a save file and starting a new game would take a lot of time until my new character is powerful enough. In NG the content up to this boss is extremely easy. The difficulty spike there is absolutely insane and unexpected.
