The DLC Isn't even hard (So Far)

[Sel Und Irae]

Only real difficulty i've noticed is everything is so gods damned dark in most locations, i can't see anything and hip lantern does nothing.

Other than that, And it's not really difficulty is that every boss casually has 20k HP minimum to counter bleed i guess?

I don't get where people are saying it is hard, Just rush to the Scorpion Spider Spirit Summon Ash and you already got the best Spirit summon in the game.

if you are using summons it is not hard. neither is the base game

some people are complaining that it is hard without summons and boring with summons, so that's a different issue

i'm using a tank summon. i'm not going to tell you not to do it, but it absolutely feels like cheesing to me. i think people complaining that it is too hard to play without might have a point (not sure) but people who act chuffed about how not hard it is while using a summon do not have a point

I tried the final boss with few scadoos and it was pretty hard. Then when I got +19 it was pretty easy. No boss is even on Malenia's level

Exactly, it's so mind-boggling that most people fail to understand this simple truth.
As a souls fans I don't do summons or Coop and I even despised Ashes of War until the DLC.

That's the sole reason I thought that the difficulty was a bit rough, especially when not searching for Scadufragments.

To clarify, it's a massive difference if bosses take you down in 1-2 or 2-3 hits, the learning experience of the latter is way better.
