Also, the Chalice Dungeons are not as complicated as they initially seem. I recommend doing them as you progress through the game that way they’re never too easy, and they have some really spectacular bosses.I recommend doing them as you progress through the game that way they’re never too easy, and they have some really spectacular bosses.

Metacommentary on the nature of Chalice Dungeons??

When do you guys recommend I do the DLC? I would like to try it the Holy Moonlight Sword, but I know that's deep within the DLC. I just defeated Rom and trggered the blood moon, and am currently level 108.

 

108 and you just beat Rom?! Yeah, the rest of the game including the DLC is going to be trivial for you. You're definitely overleveled.

 

And from personal experience, it's probably going to lessen the experience by a ton. The atmosphere of these games is built on the idea that you have to be mindful of every step you take, while weighing the risk/reward of where to go and how to fight. Being too powerful takes away all of the tension and challenge and you're left with a middling experience.

 

Personally, I'd start over and not touch the chalice dungeons. I did something similar on my 2nd playthrough. I beat the game when it launched, but never did the DLC. I re-played the game, but before I did the DLC I wanted to beat some of the really challenging chalice bosses. Well unfortunately that made the DLC a breeze, and it just wasn't that interesting to me. If I could do it over again I would have done the chalice dungeons after the DLC or even on NG+.

Trust me I'm still dying a lot. I'm not starting over. 

 

Fair enough. But I would definitely hold off on doing anymore chalice dungeons.

 

As for your question, you're certainly not underleveled for the DLC, so you could do it now. The DLC is harder than most of the main game, so if you do it now you will probably have a tough time. Which would then make going back to the main game even easier. If you finish the main game first, the DLC should still be a healthy challenge. If you go for the Moonlight Sword, you have to beat like 1/3 of the DLC.

 

If you end up doing the main game first, just don't beat the final boss until you've finished the DLC. It will take you to NG+.

Congratulations! What's the final verdict? How'd you like it? 

 

Very fantastic game. Love the art design, and the creatures that make you go, "what the fuck is THAT?!"

 

Camera sucks though. :p Way too often I'd be in combat, trying to back up, or reposition, and the camera would just fuck me up. I tried both settings.

Battling From's janky camera is half the combat system. Welcome!

 

And art-wise, I could rant about it forever. Their artists are from another planet, I swear.

I never really had a problem with the camera in Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, or Dark Souls II. At least nothing I can remember.

Impressive. Great job.

 

Eh it's not that impressive. To get the second and third endings I over leveled in order to just speed run through only the necessary bosses to the end. :p Although I suppose it is the first time I've also speed run through a game, which also makes it the first time I've played through a Soulsborne on NG+.

I just remember quiting halfway through due to its difficulty. That's why I was impressed. But you did what you had to do to beat it.
