DLC NG+ scaling is unbalanced

[Yader]

i'm on ng+3 right now and it's completely insane. i went to dlc to grab some weapons i forgot to take on my first dlc playthrough and realised that it's just not happening.
i arrived at castle ensis (the literal first location player goes to from the starting location) and found that carian knight npc invader. his jump attack deals 95% of my hp bar of damage. i have level 11 blessing, 60 vigor, dragoncrest greatshield talisman and a little bit of armor. his other attacks deal comparable damage. i don't have such problems in base game and while damage is high there it's managable for ng+3. this dlc is just stupidly unbalanced for ng+

Moonrithyll was his name no? I think its a troll enemy designed to make the player rage for lolz. The devs thunk its funny i guess. He does the same insane damage on new game with +15 skibidi fragments.

That guy is a b.tch to fight xD

yeah that's the one... just tried the solitude set and it's still completely bonkers. 95% hp with his ash of war thrusting attack and like 75% with basic attacks. literally bonkers

You can sneak behind him and cheese him with poison mist 😉

Alright buddy im gonna help you out here, i made the exact same mistake, you either need to start a ng player and play the dlc on that character or speedrun all 20 blessings, basically after ng1 the dlc is scaled based off the idea you already have all 20 scadu blessings
I played launch day and foollishly played on journey 6/ng+5 and was getting one shot by divine beast and rellana, also thought shadow blessings did nothing, lo and behold as i was not on an initial playthrough the dlc bosses were scaled way higher. so not having all blessings made the dlc twice as painful as neccesary
The scaling is extremely painful, and i feel your pain buddy, get at 20 blessings and try again or start a new character for a more natural rate of progression, hope this helps!

I took her out NP on my NG+ character no scadus...yea she does massive damage but that wind up gives you enough time to panic roll then roll correctly...you only need to beat her once

Also NG+ without beating the DLC isn't all that bad..it's when you beat Radahn, then do an NG+ that things get crazy...but I'm assuming that's not your case as you only have 11 Scadus

ngl rellana was easier than that moonrythill gal. though the dancing lion is two shotting me now... why even make such a dumb mechanic like those scadu fragments? i'm not even sure speedrunning 20 of them will help since i heard that there's a soft cap at around 10-12 or smth like that.

Moonrythill does insane damage every NG+ always even with 20 scadutree levels, npcs in the dlc alredy do insane damage but moonrithyll is a whole another level.

[Yader]

still beat the dancing lion no sweat of course but i just don't get why the damage on ng+ is so random. i go to rellana or just fight with some random enemies and stuff and they deal adequate amounts of damage. but then i fight some random ass moonrythill or divine beast and bam you're oneshot.

Welcome to the NG+ world...I'm at ng+7 here. It's scary.

Without proper Damage Negation, I'm squishy with 80 Vigor.

You might want to turn into Shield Build, which will help you negate some high damages.

funniest thing i have ever seen was moonrithyll killing a party of 3 without me doing anything other than buff her with florissax bolt.

With 70% dmg negation and 40 VIG I was not being 1shot by anything until Mesmer grab on NG+, with 60 VIG and 80% dmg negation I am not 1shot by anything other than the flame heads at Abyssal Woods.
