I just beat one of the bosses that I've heard the most complaints about, and I did it on the 5th try using a non-dlc weapon. I went in fully prepared to throw a controller, but it really wasn't that bad. So far I'm really enjoying the DLC, and it's because it has been difficult yet rewarding.

It's mostly fine if you go for the skibidi tree fragments. There's a couple of bosses feel like they were designed out of spite though, specially the final one.

They did roll out a nerf yesterday, but that's not to diminish your accomplishment!

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah, I'm already past the curve so the nerf didn't do much to boost my power. I had already run some numbers when I was working out a build, and the difference in pre- and post- nerf was around 3%. The real secret to the DLC is to run around and explore. Getting fragments to boost yourself makes all of the fights much more tolerable. I was at 10 when I beat the aforementioned boss, and now I'm at 15, and it's getting pretty even with the base game. I think people just weren't expecting the fragments to be as important as they are.

Was it >!Rellana!<? I've been avoiding spoilers so idk who's the most complained about, but I sat down and used a shield for the first time and parried her to death. It took 5 hours but it was fun lmao.

Your spoiler tag doesn't work for me.

Lol. No. It was the boss at the top of Shadow Keep.
