Doing no damage in the DLC

[Asbepis]

I am yet to do visible yellow bar damage to any of the bosses ive ran into so far but my damage is fine against all non boss enemies. I assumed i need to get more blessings but everywhere i explore just leads to a new boss that i can't damage and get 2/1 shot by. Currently very confused, is the damage intended to be this low? NG+ and level 200 if anyone asks.

There’s a new level system so high and low level are somewhat in the same playing field. Get Scadutree Fragment to level up, similar system to Sekiro. You can find them next to Miquella marks, near statues of what looks like Marika, and inside the glowing jars on the heads people carrying them.

I would guess you just need more blessings. I was able to get +3 before the belurat boss and +5 before the boss in the castle, and that was without exploring everywhere I could first.

I have been scouring the map and found barely any fragments, im at +4 blessings right now.

Let me tell you a secret: You can go to later game areas, right now. You can (almost) explore the entire map without killing any of the bosses, but the way up to those new places is usually somewhat hidden in this DLC. Keep exploring, you'll get stronger. Scadu Blessing 8 and i only killed 2 main bosses.

Im at +5 fragments and can do absolutely no damage to those big fire walking bosses.

Just use colossal weapons

I cannot believe after 2 years people still dont know the basic elden ring mechanics.... they are a puzzle. You dont have to kill them with DPS. Hit them until their posture breaks, they fall down, you go to their face, you crit them for half their HP, repeat until they are dead. I was doing docens of thousands of damage with a crit.
Stance breaking is a core mechanic of Elden Ring.

Oh but im a magic build do i need to melee their leg or will my comet spell do the trick?

Most people want to overwhelm bosses with meta spells and flask. Like shooting Mogh into oblivion with Death Star laser.

Use heavy stance damage spells. Im no expert on mage builds (Just played it once) but i think carian piercer does a LOT of damage to posture. In any case, you dont need to do damage, doing posture is enough.... so a good trick would be to get a "misericorde", put a magic infusion on it (or use scholars armament) to get a big number on it to do the crit when the guy falls down. Also, i would recomend, in general, not just for this fight: You should carry a secondary weapon to aid you when your mana runs out. I know Moonveil is a meme at this point, but people carry it because it works. If it disgusts you, just go out there and find a melee weapon that you enjoy, and put a magic affinity on it. Even if its just a starter straight sword, it will make wonders when you are reaching the 80 int mark.

TLDR; get a primary weapon to aid you in your journeys, like a shortsword or a katana, imbue it with magic, try to constantly break the boss posture with heavy charged attacks or just dpsing it, when the boss falls, go to its face and crit him.

Good luck, hope this opens you up to learn more about the game!

My issue with Eld3n Ring DLC is even when I hit the boss with colossal weapons the boss's health bar doesn't move. This happens in single player and when I either join others or they join me. This dlc is broken and needs a patch urgently!

I don't think I ever bothered to fight these.

There's a gimmick that comes up later that works for some of them.

if you see any black dudes with pots on their head kill them and they will drop a blessing or spirit ash upgrade

You are either severely under-leveled or you have not been getting enough blessings.

Those furnace golems are not meant to be defeated by doing damage to them.
You attack the legs (preferably on a horse since you need to jump over the fire when they stomp or jump) to stagger them, after 3 times they will fall to the ground.
They have a "face" that will be open for a big crit when they are down.
Usually you can defeat them by doing a crit twice.

The ones appearing in later areas often have a place with higher elevation from where you can throw bombs into the basket/furnace thing for massive damage, killing them with just a few.
The reward for those are new tears for your physics flask.
