When does the dlc take place?

[Timmy]

Is it after you beat the game or sometime during it?

During it, i'd assume, given the fact you access it during your playthrough. Time in ER is pretty effed up tho so who knows

Looks like you must defeat Mohg Lord of Blood first, so it's late-game or after after claiming The Elden Throne.

^ agreed, I'm thinking you have to kill Mohg first, then interact with the cocoon/Miquella's hand to gain entry to the DLC zone

You have to diddle Miquela's fingers after you kill Mohg so it's very late game. Most people beat the Elden Beast before Mohg.

I think i've heard from an Eurogamer interview that the DLC would take place in the Endgame stage of the game, given also most probably you access the dlc by *touching* Miquella in Mohgwyns palace which is also considered an lategame area (The portal to the place is in Concetrated Snowfield also)

I thought so too but the main boss of the dlc says "Mother, wouldst thou truly Lordship sanction, in one so bereft of light?". Which made me think that it might be post game dlc.
