Finally beat optional boss
I really loved this DLC, the setting, the new weapons and runes, it is great. Whirligig is even more fun than I thought it would be and the whole final area is a spectacular Lovecraftian adventure that I wish didn't end.
My two favourite bosses
were some of the smoothest for me to beat,
Also, a side note, for anyone trying to find the Old Hunter set's trousers:
Laurence.
My two favourite bosses
Maria and Orphan of Kos
I say smoothest instead of easiest because I did not die to Maria and only died once to Orphan but felt very skilful by parrying them consistently.
Also, a side note, for anyone trying to find the Old Hunter set's trousers:
follow the path you take the first time into the Hunter's Nightmare, after the two dogs attack, fight the hunter that yells about old blood, then drop down onto a ledge behind him.
Attempts on
to kill:
NG+10/11 char: 8
NG+2 char: 1
Fresh run: 1
All in all, he's a different beast at higher levels of NG+.
Nearly all but 1 or 2 abilities in each phase 1 shot you.
Pretty shitty/cheap NG+++++++++++ design but man, aesthetically and lore wise (music, voice acting, visuals, phases, etc) its one of the best bosses in all of Souls.
Now that I have all my characters caught up I hope the rest of the DLC can live up to that fight.

How do I know when that is specifically? It seems like its night time and there's a full moon in the sky
Edit: I see on a youtube video, the sky is reddish when he talks to Eileen in the cathedral ward, should I continue on with the story? Maybe fight the witches first and she'll show up?
Also, I have the shake off cape gesture, so I definitely met her the first time...
I'm the same way. Those bosses you listed are the same bosses that stopped me in my tracks. Actually having the patience to take down Flamelurker was one of the most intense fights I've ever had in any Souls game.
I just did full all bosses/DLC runs of Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2: SotFS, and Bloodborne before The Old Hunters came out so all I have left is to do another Demon's Souls run. I'll probably save that for right before Dark Souls 3 though.

yeah, sounds like it's night time then. sorry can't be more helpful.
you should try opening the gate with the key then and see if that changes anything.
edit: here's a step by step: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/805577-bloodborne/71521618

I just checked, looks like I already opened the gate from the other side, so all the gates are open, not sure why she's missing...

Thanks a lot! Very close to how I imagined. I think I'll start with my NG+ character around lvl 60. Actually pretty scared going in hearing how difficult this is compared to the main game.

So I never figured how to summon NPC, or how to get back to the DLC location once returning to the hub. I must be missing something obvious.

I am level 110, in NG+
Will I survive this? Should I try to level in the NG+ (last I played, I incidentally had _just_ defeated Vicar Amelia)

I'm lvl 145 but dlc is very unforgiving, those red eyed hunters are kicking my ass. also my health gets halved with one or two hits easily! My vitality is 47. should it be more than that?

Moving a bit from the DLC, I'm level 112 and want to run a quick & easy boss to get a vermin, what boss is going to be my best chance of getting summoned into?
Edit: I only need 1 more vermin so only need to be summoned in for one boss.

I saw something moving when I got there and just whacked him. I don't think I missed anything important doing that. It was his own fault too, spooking me when I'd been running away from anchor fish asshole giant.
Way dumber thing I did was kill the NPC in the clock tower. A sign on the floor told me to do it for a cool item (ﾉ;≡ω≡

Also after beatingI didn't get whatever she was supposed to drop. A rune I think.Maria
Maria only drops the item needed to proceed to the next area

I made both the same exact mistakes LOL. You don't miss out on anything other than dialogue with Simon, but yeah u miss out on a rune with the other NPC, which also means you can't use one of the DLC weapons unfortunately (and also miss out on a hunter tool)....I saw something moving when I got there and just whacked him.

Well I'm running a new character to get into the DLC, thought I could use my old guy who's level 131 but turns out he was on NG++ and only just outside the starting area. NOPE.

Ah cool, I think the wiki had misattributed the beast's embrace rune to her at some point.
I found his moves pretty easy to dodge once I studied them. Sorry you're having issues.
you dodged his entire second phase? huh
there are literally 0 openings and you take damage whenever you dish it out by default

is there an easy chalice dungeon way of getting the blades of mercy in case I screwed up the eileen quest?

Guys, are there any DLC armours/weapons/items/whatever that can be permanently missed or locked out beyond a certain point, or through certain actions/omissions? i.e. I'd have to go through the DLC again on the next game+.
No spoilers, please and thank you!
No spoilers, please and thank you!
yeah
tho prolly because I'm on NG++
from what I recall NPC summons are pretty worthless past NG on all the SoulsBorne games

So I just tried to kill the NPC that you see
, and he can't die? Is this the first time an NPC can't be killed in a souls game? I never really try to kill all "friendly" NPC's in souls games so I'm not sure, but I always thought you could no matter what.
walking around talking about stuff right before the Fishing Hamlet
Hug the side of his belly. That worked for me a lot of the time. Wack away and he will stagger.

she might be gone if you killed amelia. Did you go to the woods? If not, try and unlock gate with key from messenger bath and unlock both shorcut gate levers. Then run down to cathedral ward she is right outside the door near the fence and a bench
Brandor
killed him, turns out I'd missed his chest piece..but I found it in the fishing hamlet, I imagine it was in the spot he was supposed to invade
