Putrescent Knight RL1 NG+7 DLC+ No Blessings Torch only

[@Dargonsouls]

Very nice fight. The menace known as Miyazaki must be stopped for putting this hidden modifier in the DLC.

Respect man 💀

That's interesting. " this DLC has a hidden difficulty increase on the next NG+ cycle after you beat Radahn even if you were already on NG+7" How can you know this? Who found out about this? Excellent kill as well. Mastery over the boss moveset

[@Xerieh]

I first learnt of it via a discord message from Parallax2137 saying he heard a rumour that the DLC difficulty scales further past standard NG+7, a few days later Dargonsouls told me someone found it existed in the game files (He also showed me a screenshot of exactly how much HP the rememberance bosses gain) and today finally I decided to see if it existed for myself since I had already beaten Promised Consort Radahn on that NG+ cycle I could see for myself by going into the next NG+ cycle and running to the DLC (took about 2 and a half hours to reach the DLC from the start) which is when I confirmed for myself it indeed scaled past standard NG+7.

​@Xerieh So NG+7 DLC+ would be on playthrough 9 correct? Does it continue to scale further on subsequent playthroughs or does it only have that one further increase?

[@Dargonsouls]

​@@aurumarma5711It's only the one further increase, and it's basically just an HP modifier on enemies and bosses that stacks independently with whatever your NG+ cycle is, whether that's NG+2, NG+3, NG+7. You'll still get the rune amounts indicative of your current NG+ cycle, but you'll always have the HP boost stacked on top of that if you cleared the DLC in any of your previous cycles. In a way, it kinda screws over challenge runners who are already in NG+7 since it would be easier to get the boost by clearing the DLC in NG and then running through the core game to get to NG+7 afterward.

I like pain too. But not of this level.
