Also by the end of NG+ you will have maxed all the stats you care about and starting to max your dump stats, so you can get into quality weapons and experiment more in general

I've been putting all points into capacity so I can get to the light weight while using the wo long weapon and the best parts I have. What you're saying though will help a lot with that. What do you mean by the weapon element? Like enemies that carry a weapon? I should be using the grinders more though for sure. I know they help a lot, I'm just lazy to buff before every attempt, which usually leads to me having very simple builds in games lol. And about the last paragraph, you mean the end game bosses will have about the same HP as the early ones in NG+?

I've been putting all points into capacity so I can get to the light weight while using the wo long weapon and the best parts I have. What you're saying though will help a lot with that. I think the weight thing is unfortunately NG++ not NG+, but the new tier of both P-Organ upgrades and quartz options for them is very strong in NG+. Enemies that carry a weapon. Basically mostly the other Stalkers, but there's a couple of other notable "use acid" enemies, realistically if it isn't a Puppet or a Carcass then Acid will be best. So mainly the Alchemists that start showing up in the second half of the game are almost all acid weak. Sort of, late game bosses will still have more HP. But the increase isn't as dramatic as the first run through in my opinion. You're not going to run into Victor still having 5 times the HP of Parade Master or more. Just like, 30% more hp now. Victor being a particular outlier because I think he has the largest HP bar in the game. I would highly recommned gathering quartz and filling out the p-organ over NG+. If nothing else it means you won't have to do it as much for the NG++ super busted P-Organ options.

I'll just keep playing and hope to get all the quartz by the end of NG+. If I don't I'll look up a guide on quartz. I probably shouldn't do NG++ though as I'm worried this will make the DLC way too hard. Unless the P Organ upgraded are actually broken lol Thanks for the info on the boss hp btw, that makes sense now.

P organ upgrades do make you much more powerful/enemies much more survivable. You also get new armor in NG cycles that let you take more hits. And while NG+ is a test of skill, NG++ is the typical Souls style victory lap.

I guess if I commit to this run, I'll need to actually explore every corner again. Or look for the boxes and kill all the big enemies. I don't think good parts or quarts will be just laying around randomly in a swamp.

Yeah the initial announcement/trailers had me thinking it would be an interesting piece of jank but as soon as I played the demo I knew it was going to be something special.

I put it off until after the start of the year but otherwise it would've been in my top 3 for games last year. I've since been strong arming every Souls fan I know into playing it because I've got a strong suspicion that it's going to be the only thing that comes close (and is better in some ways) to the real deal until...whatever they release next lol. It's also on GamePass which helps. I played the demo and actually bounced off it hard, 100% because dodging felt like garbage and the parry window was too strict. Then I played it for real after Sekiro leveled my gaming skills up a couple notches and was completely absorbed. It was clinched when I used the Holy Ark sword's Alter move after coming to the realization that this kpop twink Pinocchio game had more and more wonderful big stupid caveman weapons in it than any two Dark Souls games combined.

It legitimately has better weapon variety than any From game and that's before you get into the absurdly cool assembly system.

The weird thing about cranks is that the interface seems to imply that you can crank a handle more than once by putting more cranks into it but once you actually collect the required number it tells you that you can only apply it once. I'm wondering if at some point in development you could just throw 2/3/4/etc. more cranks in to keep raising the scaling on a weapon all the way to S and they decided at the last minute not to let you do that.

My last playthrough was a strength build mostly using the Booster Glaive handle (cranked up to C strengtivity scaling) with the wrench, and later the puppet axe head and trust me, it works very well indeed.

Yeah, this is kind of endemic of the game's one real (if not major) flaw, it's not always very good at explaining some of its systems in-game.
