About Leda/ Ansbech/ Horsent questline order

Is it possible to help Leda defeat Ansbech FIRST, then help Hornsent defeat Leda AFTER?
If I have to do Horsent part first I cant get the accessory from helping Leda afterward cuz she'd disappear.

I think she only goes after Ansbach if you help her kill the Hornsent.

Man, they rly gonna make me miss 2 accessories in one playthrough.
Such torture for completionist like me.
I wish there's a method to just progress dlc to NG+++ w.o caring about the base game.
It waste so much time .

My first dlc playthrough is a mess and ruined 3 questliness cuz i defeat Messmor too early zzz. I thought point of no return is way later but nope, breaking great rune ruin one quest and defeating messmor ruins 2 more. This dlc really punish players for not using a detail guide which is a pretty bad design. Base game does this much more forgiving.

I messed up pretty much every quest too since I did the DLC first time blind. Also I messed up pretty much every quest in the base game you can on my first blind run (Dallios, Patches was already dead, Rya, you name it).

As a tip, you probably want to always side with Leda in one run, and than always side against her in another run. If you side with Leda for Hornsent and then switch to Ansbech, you need an additional two runs to get both Swift Slash & the retaliatory crossed-tree talisman.

It's super annoying if you don't carefully plan it out.

Just use Glorious Merchant for the missables, I can't imagine replaying the DLC over and over on the same freaking build lmao.

This is honestly a bummer but yeah she essentially only goes after Ansbach if you help her with Hornsent (or if you just let Hornsent go and do Messmer first, but then you won't get Swift Slash either). Best solution is to do Ansbach's quest at all costs since unlike others, he awards you a spell at the end, and spells cannot be traded. Ashes of war, talismans and weapons can.
