Doing no damage to bosses....

[Timmy]

I tried fighting the beast mask boss did no damage figured I should go explore some more. Got to the twin blade boss and I still do no damage. At 3 for the scadutree blessing is that high enough to actually do decent damage to the bosses?

[Brad "Balls" Brickwell]

Simple answer is no, damage scaling in this DLC is horrible. I am currently at 5 scadutree things and still averaging around 300 dmg per hit even with buffs and everything. Mimic tear op tho...

Ya i was like 4 shoting Maliketh early this morning going into this DLC i hit like a noodle with 6 scadutree honestly crazy not very fun.

Don't worry. You're not alone. Plenty of people are already mentioning this here and there.
Personally, I had no issue with it until I reached the Dancing Lion.

Doing 1000+ damage to him is barely a scratch. Like 1/100 of his overall HP or something.

It almost feels like somebody enabled NG+7 scaling to their HP pools by default as a mistake just before the release.

I expect we'll see a tune-down patch in a couple of days.

You could meme about Souls games being hard as much as you want, but this DLC is just ridiculous. It's either balanced around co-op/spirit ashes, or an actual bug.

Same I started a run about 2weeks ago and got to the Plateau and was like if I keep going now , there won’t be much game left when the DLC comes out so I stopped Because I didn’t want to burn myself out before it released & picked up yesterday then realized maybe I should have played further into the game & that caused me to rush to the DLC I got the emblem from white face To travel to the palace at level 91 it took me 2hr to kill the boss to access the DLC I am very under level but at least they allow you to travel back to the other map if need be, you’re not stuck in DLC map. It costs me 50k to level up & when I killed mogh he drops 350k so that’s the difference in level I am

I'm SL 200 trust me levels mean nothing in the DLC im doing thousands of damage doesn't even touch there health bar something is going on almost like they have NG+ scaling turned on every boss has an insane amount of health and can two shot you with just about every attack and one shot you makes it hard to even learn the fights when you just get deleted every other combo honestly least fun I've had in souls game.

yeah, I think the content itself is amazing but the progression and balancing seems so off I'm really not dealing enough dmg to these bosses lmao

[Saigon]

I got it on ps5. I wish I would have just gotten it on steam because the community is better

[Saigon]

You can’t find any form to talk to people on console

A couple of thousand damage is fine for the bosses, it's their damage that's overtuned to hell and back.

[Themcabel]

can't say I feel it, but I'm level 542 after all and have to say my madness build destroyed the beast mask so fast that I had to kill myself to not finish him in less than 3 minutes since I was doing an average of 2000-4500 damage to him
But yeah I try him again with a great katana this time and was doing no damage to him that time,
seem like elemental damage is a big thing on him, I guess…
Same way the big fire guys are weak to blunt damage like golem

Playing with no summons/spirit ashes is difficult I have to say.

Dancing Lion I didn't mind too much because he can be punished pretty easily and has long openings to get charged attacks and skills in. I think he's weak to fire too. I was hitting him for about 800dmg with buffs on a greatsword with a normal r1. But landing about 2-3 hits per opening.

However Rellana... I feel like anything but bleed, frost, and sorceries are difficult against her. You do too little damage for how little openings she has. I could barely get a light attack in and not get punished. I only barely beat her after about an hour of trying by using ashes of war to get damage in from further away.

[Cartermatic]

so the bosses all still two to three shot me but... i can get combos out for like 4k damage and it definitely chunks their hp bar like a 1/5th or 6th. they dont have 100k hp but maybe more realistically 30-35k hp. i did die to dancing lion like 50 times though

Wait until you reach Bayle it takes no damage and pre nerf Radahn explosions that just one tap you 30 attempts before i beat and that was pure luck and panic rolling.

I’m doing between 400 -600 damage using meteorite katana +6

[Saigon]

I might have to go back to base game & progress further
