I don't get the people that are complaining about the requirements to play the DLC, like if you haven't bothered to play the base game then why do you care about the DLC at all?

[@6ixlxrd]

Most people played and beat the base game multiple times via NG+ to make sure they had the proper levels to play this. I imagine I’d be a bit irritated too if I did all that, started a whole other NG+, and got told I still gotta make it to pretty much the end of the game yet again to play it 😂. Since Elden Ring is A LOT of people’s introduction to FromSoft, many likely thought there’d be an NPC at the main hub or an option on the main menu to start the DLC.

[@mikeyswift2010]

@@6ixlxrdthen just go to another character. Your argument is ludicrous

[@aandrews667]

@@6ixlxrd Yeah, NO. If this is "A LOT of people’s introduction to FromSoft" then that is their problem since the Soulsborne games starting with the original Demon Souls have been going since 2009. I've played, completed and got all the Achievements (Trophies for Bloodborne) for everything besides the original and remake of Demon Souls, and if I remember correctly every DLC had requirements that meant to need to be pretty heavily along in the story to access it. People now Fromsoft doesn't hold your hand through their games, so expecting to be able to play it immediately is ridiculous.

[@6ixlxrd]

@@aandrews667 That’s good and all, but respectfully, it still doesn’t change anything. Elden Ring is the first open-world soulsgame and appealed to players from every fanbase because of it, to a point where a MASSIVE influx of new players who had never touched a soulsgame picked it up and fell in love with it. That’s not a “problem” as that’s a success and a great thing. Naturally, and with even the slightest crumb of common sense, you can’t expect new players to just suddenly have the knowledge of players who’ve been here since 2009 🤦🏾‍♂️.

[@Blinker485]

I beat Elden ring a couple months after launch. Haven't played since, because I'm not one to have to play it over and over. I bought the dlc this morning, but I plan to start fresh as a melee build. Last time around I went with paladin. Elden Ring was my very first souls game. So, I didn't have a full grasp on souls. Now 2 years later, having beat every fromsoft besides DS2. And playing/beating multiple souls-likes. I am going back in with a better understanding of how these games work. Last time I just op'd my character to best the bosses. Instead of doing what souls games want, and that's learning move sets, putting effort into your build, and exploring everything to open up the game. So, I probably won't make it to shadow for a while. But, I go in with a fuller grasp on the game, and look forward to a whole new experience in the land between, and beyond.

Just want to point out that you absolutely do NOT have to get 2/3rds of the way through elden ring to access the dlc. The only requirements to enter the dlc are that youve beaten mogh and radhan, and both of those bosses can be reached basically as early as you want. Radhan can be the first or at most, second main boss you fight if you want. And mogh, you can bee line right to him as soon as you beat godrick if you want to. It also doesnt matter when in your playthrough you go to the dlc. With the shadowtree blessings and the crazy amount of runes you get just from playing, you can level up faster in the dlc than in the main game. If you're still on the fence about getting this dlc, please dont think the requirements to access it are somehow super difficult to reach

So I just beat it. I loved it but I get why people are complaining about its difficulty. It is hard and you can’t grind or farm if you’re stuck leveling up depends on finding scadutree fragments which is very different for a souls game. I’ve played every souls game and can say without a doubt that the last boss is the hardest boss FromSoftware has ever made us face. He makes Melania seem easy. I didn’t start to have difficulty until after Messmer but this DLC makes Sekiro seem easy. But it does wrap up the Elden Ring story and all of the lore is finally explained. I personally love the lore of all the souls games, they make most games seem like a children’s story so I struggled for a day with the final boss and finally concluded the Elden Ring story and it’s lore.

[@Silver_633]

I think the DLC levelling system is great as it encourages you to spend time around the DLC map to improve, isolating your normal stats which else would've already well sufficed as it's content is after the end game. I used to play on xbox and got to around lv 300 ng 7+ and I didn't want to start again upon the introduction of DLC for a challenging experience, for this levelling system creates regardless. This is especially useful as I switched to PC and imported a max v1.11 game save (as I've already experienced the near entirity of the base) and won't have the drawback of being too OP for DLC while being able to access it without having to restart the experience

Things are still difficult and require focus but my reaction time, pattern recognition, and weapon memory have been nuts. Getting invaded even alone has become a reason for excitement rather than a mournful groan because even when I lose I can always see the moment I messed up and work on fixing it.

The base game was perfect to me so I would not have a clue how they could improve upon it, yet I somehow believe they did. Guess we'll just have to wait and see, but my body is ready. That much I know

[@mikemcmullen5006]

All the reviewers say the map itself appears to be about that size, but they all say it ended up being functionally bigger than it looks.

[@theunderdog9353]

@@mikemcmullen5006 Hmm, alright then. As long as it feels huge and has different "biomes" with gorgeous views, it's all good

[@DethSaniel]

This is the most hyped I've been for a dlc since the old hunters way back when! Lets go!!!!

[@thepainphantom]

Looking forward to parry many enemies in the DLC (getting know their attacks and appreciate their creation). My assumption is Messmer, like Radagon, can be beaten in close combat with some parries too. It's really fun and fully implemented Tarnished 101.

[@diligaf1000]

I literally never pre order but for this game it was an absolute no brainer. Its one game i would almost suppoet tipping the developers during the end credits. Pure value for money

[@StanleySThomas]

Dang, a Fromsoft DLC is 30-50+ hours long of high quality content for $40. Meanwhile, Hellblade 2 is only 5 hours long for $50 which is mostly watching cutscenes and the little gameplay that it has consists of walking forward in high fidelity and basic self-solving puzzles while people screaming useless information in your ears non-stop smh

[@danieldonnelly4036]

Excuse me Falcon but when listing off all the perks of the new bosses, you forgot to mention if we get "bullcrap camera angles in small enclosed rooms".. this is vital information.

[@ellieisdumb1977]

If we don't get that in the dlc then its not faithful to the souls material.

[@khalilwilson2586]

Do the enemies scale with your NG+?

[@TheHunterOfYharnam]

probably, thats how it works with these games

[@johnnyboy2411]

They do. Starting the dlc in NG+ is NOT recommended.

[@Brian-tn4cd]

Given how previous games work, yes

@@johnnyboy2411I just hate restarting from scratch. Having to get the bell bearings is already a hassle but having to get every weapon,armor, and spell again is annoying imo.

[@zased1561]

Best level/point to go in is late 90s/just before you reach Morgott. The difficulty will feel like a real challange at this level. Your effort will be highly rewarded with easier leveling up, more late game upgrade material, and having the last 2/5s of the base game to complete with dlc kit!

[@darkdraco02]

I only care about one thing. Spirit ashes. Are there more ?. Can we upgrade the bell to either summon as many as we want or summon absolutely anywhere without restriction ? Can we get boss ashes in ng+ ? If any of those are yes then im buying the dlc

Hey

[@MikoYattus]

Your'e gonna buy it and you will like it no matter what

[@lordknight7482]

Before you buy? I brought it like 3 months ago. Have played Elden ring like 60 hours last week. I am ready to pump it into my vein. Leaving a like and leaving. Can’t watch no spoilers of any kind

[@Joe-ti7qd]

60 hours in a week? That's NOT a flex but a red flag tbh

[@lordknight7482]

Haven’t played for 2 years. Got it on PC for mods and 4k.

Nah i heard that too and now i cant figure out what he was actually talking about

[@brucel6413]

Anyone know if there will be more larval tears? Used all mine up😅

[@MinorZero]

Did you also find all the "hidden" ones, they are normal enemies that turn into mini bosses and drop one once defeated. I suspect there might be a few of those in the dlc, they aren't one to forget someone might need to respec for the new weapon types and having used all the ones from the base game.

[@Gabranth86]

yes, I saw it in Fextralife review.

[@AlexTheOcelot7]

I haven't used any I can drop you all of mine

[@HardDrumStep]

yes, there will be a few

[@artemisDev]

I have found 2 larval tears in the DLC. Though I never used any. Bet there's more tho.

[@blinkybloo]

4:15 bread-WHAT trails?!?!?!?!?

[@froqwo4851]

Yes the DLC is amazing, but on xbox at least DO NOT get the bundle that includes the game and dlc IF you already have the game. It will make you pay a full $119 even if you already have the game. Hopefully this gets fixed soon but as of right now, to my knowledge the only way on xbox to buy the dlc is with the premium one that is $75

[@richdelaney9500]

I loved the Bloodhound Gang "Bad Touch" reference😂

[@billyskittles1036]

It isn’t just that the bosses are onboxiously difficult, it’s *how* they are difficult. Constant one/two-shotting you, despite getting the fragments, the bosses have 67-hit combos and they have laughably-high HP. I think this DLC is exactly why open-world games don’t need DLCs. I would rather have had FromSoftware spend this time and effor making a new game than releasing an unbalanced, beautiful mess of a DLC that seriously needs tweaking. And hey, you know what? It’s ok to call them out on bad choices. You don’t have to eat up everything they vomit out at you. The DLC is great, but the bosses and navagation aren’t.

[@ImARealHumanPerson]

Git gud

[@tenotthetoiletcleaner177]

Lolol tldr

[@Chris-gw2xg]

How many fragments are we talking about here? You need to at least have 10+ for it to get better

So refreshing to be able to pre order something in this day and age without ANY fear that it will be buggy/incomplete/total crap. Thank you so much FromSoft, you're literally the only devs/punlishers i completely trust.

Bloodhound Gang reference is so good. Proves that while he may be a Falcon, he's nothing but a mammal and Gameranx is the modern day Discovery Channel.

People who might not have played the game initially? Who cares?

Or maybe like any dlc that isn’t post game?
