Game finally let me play the DLC starting friday evening, doing IT Crowd "off and on again" actually worked.
Didn't do any dungeon or story part yet, just roaming around the DLC map, activating Graces and looking for side-dungeons ... and i gotta ask...
How fucking big is that DLC even? I think i've put up to 4 hours in over the weekend (which is much for me) and there's still one part of the map that i didn't explore, don't know how to reach and haven't gotten the map part for.
(Obviously there's more areas that seem to be locked until a certain plot progression looking how they're "blocked" by a certain big, black stoned castle, but at least i can see them on the map due to that part being unveiled.)
Some stuff is although tricky to reach. That spiky looking mountain for example. First, i was unsure if you can actually go there, but knowing FROM i quickly understood you can. Also, there's like 2 NPC that basically point to that mountain, shouting "THERE, ONE BIG EVIL MOTHERF*CKER IS THERE!" ... okay, i got the hint.
Funny though, you gotta go through a little sub-dungeon to reach it, and the name couldn't be more obvious for the players to understand, you wanna go to the spiky mountain, you gotta go through this cave!
Thankfully due to the exploration, i already got the Scadutree Blessing up to ... 6 i think. And it's definitely needed, as the damage output and HP pool that even some low standard mobs have is beyond stupid.
Unless you're a
really good Soulsborne player, don't even attempt this DLC sub-level 150.
Wanna shout up to my MVP ash so far who is being reliable again after some of those other Blessings, Black Knife Tiche. HP debuff, DoT attack, quick, relentless attacks and stury enough.
Draws aggro enough from bosses that i can even calmly nuke them with Comet Azur.
Who the hell as parents names their two children Rennala and Rellana? That’s just asking for trouble.
Some parents are like this with twins. In my son's class, there's identical twin girls called Kaya and Maya.
