What is supposed to happen after beating the final DLC boss?

[SeeDee]

I beat PCR and had the cutscene of Miquella play, but there's no credits or anything? I know Souls games are cryptic but I expected some sort of conclusion or something to wrap up the DLC and explain some things. I have more questions than answers honestly.

I take it watching lore videos is the next thing to do?

You put on your sick ass new crown and go get anything you missed, then spank any base game bosses you haven't done and go into NG+ and repeat the journey.

Remember that while many of us are playing it after beating the main game, this DLC can be accessed long before the ending of the game. It doesn't replace the ending as the real ending or anything, it's just extra content, just like all the previous games' DLCs.

As for the questions and answers thing, lore videos can help a lot, because they collect and condense all the information you find (and potentially miss) into one short collection, instead of several items found across dozens of hours. For example, I'd found all the information about the story of the "spirited away shamans", but I hadn't really put them together until a video reminded me of a big piece of information I had found 10 hours before arriving at the village.

Thats not the end of the game. The Elden Beast is.

Nothing, unfortunately. It would've been nice to get some additional dialogue from the base game characters.

It would've been nice to have a little closure, honestly. In DS1 you could talk to the mushroom granny, DS2 you talked to Vendrick, DS3 had the painter girl. Some death dialogue from Ansbach, or maybe something from St. Trina would've been nice. Hopefully this isn't the last DLC, I wanted to see more about destined death & the eclipse.

There is no story. The story is killing everyone you meet, regardless of motivation or character. That's it. You start murdering peasants, then nobles, then fantastic beasts like trolls, dragons, then a demi semi semi semi God, then a whole bunch of demi God children, God of dragons then God of humans, then you go to the gods hometown to kill her 3 remaining kids, 2 of them having a non concensual incestuous relationship. Also, the devil version of dragons. Then you've won the game, you've killed everything you've met. You've tested you might and blades and all your weapons against every living creature. People have stopped trying to negotiate with you and just try to fight you to the death because margit was right - you're a foul (murderous) tarnished

all souls dlc are exactly like this, dont expect a 30 minute cinematic to explain lore that is already explained by other means in the game

You beat PCR? Politically Correct Randy?

Nothing I believe. If you want to replay the game with that fresh and new feeling again try out an overhaul mod on nexus mods. Convergence, Reforged, are great ones that have huge customizability in terms of difficulty and classes. Also Ascended mod is another one made for people wanting to try to crank the difficulty from 10 to 100.

It's like every other dlcs from From.
Nothing rly.
You dont suddenly have another ending or anything.
Basically you finished th dlc story, back to base game.

[palacentes]

welll.... for credits, you need to clear base game. DLC is lore and extreme challenge. Congratz on beating the new hardest boss( im sure he is the hardest boss ever in souls games). Prize of downing consort is really more of achievement, lore ( check the item descriptions of Enia, reveals more dark stuff about miquella and caelid nuke, + new fashion and weapon)

You take the obsidian lamina you weren't expecting to have to triapse across 2-4 hours of additional map terrain collecting scattree fragments to be able to acquire, max it out, then go have fun invading and getting destroyed by casuals with your flashy but ultimately rather inefficient new favourite weapon.

[Sergalius]

They cut off a lot of content
Why? who knows
