How do you start DLC

[Takichi]

I read here and there, that you can enter a New Arena and a New Dungeon, but how do you do that? Do you have to beat Orc Master first and it´s Story or what do you have to do exactly?

And Pls Dev´s, i like your Game so far, but i already saw another Thread who asked the same, and you guys answerd with "Here look at the DLC Shop".... since there is no Answer to this Question i would like a more evaluated one since i want to enjoy the DLC aswell.

you should get the notification for the new arena before the start of the spring games. Its the arena all the way east of blackthorne. The new dungeon should start after the orcs.

Yeah i got the "Monk Arena" so thats the same as for grotus? cause i only get Monk things there and nothing else. And thanks for the Answer :)

My bad I misread your question.

I actually never got to Grotus, I keep restarting my playthrough when I get Alyssansas because I cant beat it.

For the Trial of Alysasnas or however you spell it, youll get prompted with a notification to dispatch a group of your gladiators to explore some ruins or something and youll eventually go to that dungeon. Be warned its really hard. If you cant beat the dungeon I would recommend to run it until you get to the final boss(es) and withdraw. Theres 2 purple weapons (Polearm and a 1h sword) that are guaranteed spawns and worth to keep. If you wipe during the dungeon you lose all the loot.
