I would play with a buddy if any of them had the DLC. Playing ember’d feels impossible as I get invaded the moment I do. From that chart the co-op levels are much higher. Guess it’s time to level up.
Funny enough that I didn’t get invaded at all during my playthrough of the DLC, but then again I played at 9 PM PDT as soon as it came out. Invasions might be more common now that people have played through the DLC. Fuck it though… YOLO THAT SHIT. And honestly if you’re level 120 in NG, the DLC shouldn’t be that hard aside from the bosses, embered or no embered.
I am addicted to the arena
Finally finished this dang DLC. Took me a while thanks to travelling and work and other distractions.
Beat it at level 83 with a fairly focused Luck build. Tough dang final fight. But fun.
I’ve been having fun doing Follower cosplay invasions after the fact. Haven’t touched the Arena yet. Guess I should give it a go at some point.
I fucking understand that all too well. I’m such a greedy player lol
Lady Maria taught me to never be a greedy shithead ever again… on a new boss at least. 
I still over extend myself all the time, especially if I am co-opting :shake:
When try harding against a boss I usually never get greedy. Usually against bosses I’m really confident against I don’t feel too bad trying to be greedy sometimes.
Oh yeah, I forgot to post this here. While doing fun-above-effectiveness Follower cosplay invasions at the Corvian bonfire (look at those piddly spear throws once I exhaust my FP) I wound up watching a certain church-dwelling NPC break his leash, and eventually break his AI.

That was fuckin dope. I’d a read a whole series about IRON TARKUS!
There’s a bunch of these little stories spanning across all the games. I’ll have to find the other shorts about the Pardoner, they’re some of the more interesting ones.
The Bloodborne comics are really, really good.
I didn’t know there where any comics of this quality at all. I just remember the boss as fuck fan posters for Dark Souls 1 I have saved on my external to get printed out and hung on the wall some day.
