    I think this attack power upgrade system Miyazaki was referring to being similar to Sekiro is gonna cap us after a certain point where level 150 is no different then 300 within the DLC area. Just my opinion.
    EDIT - meaning they will gimmick something up where we only can do so much damage to enemies naturally, then we can raise attack by obtaining these upgrades. I don't know what will probably be something weird like "jars of Miquella's sweat" or some other sus sounding thing.

      That's because Mohgwyn Palace is isolated from all the other matchmaking that occurs in the game for co-op. You can invade there from anywhere, but not co-op, it must be done locally. Travel to one of the graces and do near only co-op and you will definitely be summoned to help with Mohg.

      That’s a smart method of approach because you’ll have plenty of levels to play around with as you go through the DLC. I think I’m going to do something similar at level 100 because I can basically beat the entire game at level 100, but i like to bring my characters up to 150-168 (for invasions) so I’ll still have 50-68 level ups to try out the new weapons

    If for whatever reason the DLC still seems a bit too easy for you, you can just respec at Rennala and dump some levels into something you don't use. For example i'm level 163 with a +10 Bloodhound Fang, if i'm killing enemies too easily, i'm going to respec and dump a bunch of levels into Faith which I currently have ridiculously low.

    • @cionm7077

      The difficulty is not going to be based on level, Miyazaki knows that after 2 years most players still playing are overleveled and also the difference between levels amongst them is big. we are going to get level capped and through fighting bosses you can become stronger like In sekiro. No point in respec.

      the only reason I'm saying 150 right now is because of how pvp degenerates past that. Every build will be full-bull-goat-soft-swapping-caster-hybrid because stat req's become moot. 120-138 feels best to me currently so bumping up to 150 wouldn't be too much while still allowing for some growth.

      You're absolutely right, thinking about the level of your character is the wrong way to think about it since all items scale on only 2 or 3 stats. If a level 400 has 99 Intel and 99 dex but running a strength faith build, it just means he is roughly at the power level of a lvl 202, but he can switch build when he wants and be more flexible in his game play
      The only true answer to that question is not what level your character is, but in what NG+ your character is. I have one char lvl 330 in NG+7 and i don't want to experience the DLC in NG+7, damages from any mobs or boss are too F stupids + they have crazy HP pool. It's very challenging and i dont want to do that for my first run into it

    There is one reply to a comment here I saw that pointed out something really smart. They mention how in DS2 there are Giant Souls which determine how effective you are at damaging Vendrick. Yes, it is functionally similar to Sekiro's attack power. But in terms of lore, it might be similar to how DS2 does it. Maybe in the DLC, we'll get something relating to Miquella that will help deal damage in the Land of Shadows. It could even be something like the cut content dream mist item. This could encourage non-combat exploration and maybe make use of the sleep mechanic which is hardly used in the main game - both by players and enemies.

    What I like to do, to keep it challenging at a high level, I max out Arcane to have a higher drop rate on items, while not rocking an Arcane build. So lets say I run a pure STR build, I max out Arc, put a lot of points in END, and the minimum reqs for my weapons

    i was level ~160 when i finished my first run. im now on NG+4 and sitting around level 310. so honestly im not too worried about the dlc being a cakewalk since i've already made the game harder for myself. for those who're wondering, after a point i decided to balance my stats out so i could use just about every weapon in the game. i believe the last time i check i had about 50-55 levels in each stat.

    @crescentwolf7072 3 місяці тому +1

    I'm going to be playing through the dlc with two characters, one at level 125, and one at level 90, the reason why i chose RL 90 is because I've had a few successful runs at RL 80 with completing the base game, only doing this to see if it's possible, otherwise, I can always take the time to grind the dlc for runes and level up there.

    @GageSmith-yz5yu 3 місяці тому

    Two of this games biggest things are rewarding exploration and build variety. Some builds are going to naturally feel stronger than others going into the expansion, but if you dont beat main and optional bosses via exploration, you wont acquire damage multipliers (attack power) to scale your build to what i assume will be a gradual jump in health and difficulty with the bosses.

  • @secondeyelid8993

    I'm someone who finds joy in overleveling a character, and getting rid of the difficulty out of a game. It gives me great pleasure, to try a hard boss, die, then go elsewhere and grind for a while, then come back and oneshot it without having to learn all of the attacks. So I hope that the game doesn't punish you too harshly if you're over leveled.

  • @kayden-blodgett9032
    @kayden-blodgett9032 3 місяці тому

    What im currently doing in preparation for the dlc is having 3 + different playthroughs ready. Each focused on a specific build. (dex/strength, faith/strength, intelligence/strength, etc). I get my character to around level 130 doing most major bosses except malenia, placidusax, and maliketh + everything that comes after him. So when I beat the dlc I can beat the rest of the base game with whatever I come out of the dlc with. Ensuring im prepared with lots of smithing stones and larval tears for whatever the dlc gives us. Although doing it this way has its downsides. Considering most of my final bosses are fire giant, godskin duo, and commander neil, is a bit unfortunate because those bosses suck imo. But it will be worth it for the dlc!

  • @DreyfusLagoon
    @DreyfusLagoon 3 місяці тому

    This is Interesting because I’m so good at the mohg boss fight now I can beat him as early as level 60. But realistically I think you’re supposed to beat him somewhere around 110-120 just based off the amount of souls he gives you and the area you access him from.
    I just started a new character to start prepping for the DLC and I think I’m going to level them to either 120 or 135, then get all the way up to the radagon fight and stop. Probably just going to invade and help people with bosses at that point to stock up on rune arcs. But if I stop at 120-135 I’m going to level my character up to 150 while playing through the dlc, but then I’ll have 30 or 15 points to play around with when I start collecting cool new weapons.

    It's a June release, so I might take one of the lower level characters to >90 and then test the DLC for damage. If too low, level into meta. If I play the character an hour per day, that's +100h of progress - way more than enough to get ample equipment and resources. I have my first character at rl175 in NG+1, but I think the balance is kinda whack. Again, will test in the DLC. It'll be fine.

    120 to 150. If someone is higher, I think fromsoft will use the current phantom downscaling mechanism to bring people down to the level of a host around 150.
    Notice 150 is my guess, but you get the idea. There's gonna be a threshold where leveling up won't make much of a difference.
    Personally I think this is great and makes me actually consider going in with a 200+ build, heck even 300!
    I'll be able to use whatever weapon/equipment while being scaled down appropriately. I'll only use the new power mechanic if the challenge becomes absurd.

I'm on like new game +6 or 7, not sure my exact level. I honestly didn't really like the start of the game and don't want to go through it that 'weak' again. Hopefully there aren't any side quests that are added that are tied to the main story, so I don't have to go into a new NG+. My most recent game I've beaten the Haligtree and Mogh's palace. I think I was doing Farum Azula but not close to finishing it. So I should be able to get started with the DLC as it comes out, as long as there weren't side quests.
