I beat the first major boss: Dancing Lion from trailers. I’m not good at these games. Took me a dozen+ tries. I used the NPC summon because they tend to have story elements.
NPC doesn’t do much damage and dies quickly in phase 2. It helps but not that much.
So far it’s not that hard. Biggest hurdle is even with +24 weapons I cannot do sufficient damage to the wickermen or new dragons. I assume it’s the leveling items? But their moves aren’t hard, it just feels like chip damage.
I haven’t played it yet myself, but based on the pre-release info I’ve read, I am assuming it’s the separate progression system the DLC uses.
The normal strength of weapons in the rest of the game doesn’t matter as much, there’s a different way of powering up exclusive to the DLC content. So anyone who was buffed up like a god before the DLC is not that far ahead of someone jumping in early during their first playthrough.
The wicker men it’s kinda like the golems in the base game, the real damage comes when you stagger them the 3rd time and the fall over, chunk them for like 60% of their health on the crit.
