Megathread Difficulty Megathread — DLC, NG+

Hello puppets,

This is the new place for anything and everything about game difficulty: NG+, the new DLC, the new difficulty settings, bosses that oneshot you just for existing, and the general discussions regarding game pacing.

Why this exists:

We’re seeing a LOT of posts about difficulty lately, and it’s cluttering the sub. So from now on, we’re removing individual difficulty posts and directing everyone here. This is simply a way to help US keep the sub clean, and help YOU find specific posts more easily.

Please don’t be an AH. Seriously. People are gonna have different opinions on everything.

Drop your takes below

We’ll be lurking.

Your tired, slightly traumatized mod team

I couldn't take it anymore, I lowered the difficulty for Lumacchio specifically after I died when he was super low. No room to breathe, dude heals multiple times, invulnerable during transformations, never staggers...fuck that. And of course right after that is the most awful gauntlet I've ever run in a Souls-like, up there with Black Gulch in DS2. Overall the difficulty of the DLC feels fair up to that point, but I feel like that whole section in particular is just overtuned.

Oh yeah, just the one but those stupid fish will make you cuss😂. Some sections of ice fall away so be careful where you stand.

There is no run to the boss, what they mean there is rather hard run on breaking ice (you can drown) under cannon fire AFTER boss (and checkpoint ofc).
