The DLC is pretty late game stuff so you could get it whenever before you go to new game +.

Ludwig rules because he starts as the 'standard' bloodborne boss of giant 4 legged monster with tons of weird limbs and hair, then transforms into an awesome classic Souls style boss fight

I grabbed the Moonlight Greatsword on my str/arc character today and it has an amazing moveset. Uses bullets for a lot of the trick attacks though. I'm also trying out all the hunter's tools and they're weird but I like tentacle great combustion and the empty shell. Gonna try and do all the chalice dungeons with this character.

Yeah it's really nice because I've been using the 2h hunter's axe and whirligig saw for the whole game so I can parry without even having my gun out. definitely neglecting guns this time so I think I'll do a skill/bloodtinge run next and see how that goes.

guns dont do any damage no matter how you spec, they're there for counters.

ive seen your vids and youre very good at the game INRI but you know darkbeast doesn't always behave that well lol. sometimes he spends the whole fight running around like an rear end in a top hat and spamming those super quick swipes, sometimes you pin him down and he does nothing till he dies

what i mean is, if you hit him with the ludwigs, he basicalyl almost always does the explosion thing. and then turns to face you and does one of his swipes, u dodge through it and hit him again, and he explodes again. and so on. if u cant make him do that pattern, then just run directly away from him. he cant side swipe you then, he has to do the jumping thing. then u hit him with the sword and he explodes etc etc etc. u feel me. also, the fights 100x easier if u dont lock on at all. well, the same goes for any big boss.

this is super good advice actually. i knew not to lock on though lmao youre fighting with the camera more than anything if you do that on any big dude

some weapons even have some different moves depending on if youre unlocked or not, like i know the blades of mercy do at least ... bloodborne was definitely made to be played unlocked vs some bosses. i think the cleric beast fight on the narrow bridge is supposed to teach the player that, but it took me until way into the chalices to start relying on it

i thought its just roll vs quickstep that has different moves but i could be wrong about that

amygdala is a really good big fight though, you can lock in and hit the head, back off, it's actually designed around that. the other big dudes force you to go under them w/ their patterns and then they get pissed and spam bullshit when you do that

extremebuff

tip: once you get the mats for the Iz chalice youre set for souls forever. the squishy aliens spawn in big packs begging to be killed by an AOE charge up and they give you a billion souls, you can just keep reloading and farm up several 100ks of souls in like 2 minutes. they also drop powerful triangle blood gems like candy and when youre killing so many youre bound to find cursed ones even on a regular Iz chalice

they're pretty tough. they don't aggro at the same time, so you can use that to your advantage and manage the fight a little more effectively.

on any melee NPC like the first one, just have a quick weapon like the saw or a longsword and swing away. they will run headfirst into your swings and eventually die

the second dude thats very trigger happy, you gotta get in close and force him to swing at you, hes actually pretty hard and you might want to just run past him.

If you're talking about the trolls with the axes you haven't seen anything yet. Those guys pale in comparison to the shark trolls in the third area of the DLC

i found those guys easier to parry minus their dive move which is STUPID and I HATE IT
