I was speed running the game trying to see all endings and I'm now on NG+++ with a lvl 176 character. I know I probably fucked myself over, but NG+ difficulty scaling isn't as bad as the Souls games so I... I'm sure I'll manage somehow.

I joined the league and did 2 co-op sessions beating the bosses, I didn't get any vermin, did I miss something?

You need to equip the rune he gives you

Oh damn thx, sad I gotta take off the hunter oath rune.
If you want to do coop the Hunter Oath rune is actually bad as you might turn into invader when summoned.

He showed up for me before I could even access buckethead. I beat VA wwnt to the forest and fought npc hunter right away and got the whistle. My game has always done crazy things with npcs though. I have never been able to complete eileen's quest line and I habe followed every guide. I can get the tomb lamp to be blocked off and when I go there on foot, no one is to be found

My character is basically at the end of the game right now. Sounds like even if I can access it I might be waaay too over leveled. Bummer.
Most impressions seem to imply that it is really hard no matter what your level is.
edit.
Also people who have played it and say it is hard in comparison to main game. Do you also mean stuff in Chalices or just the base game?
By that point, power vs. level is fairly flat, and much of the mileage comes from gems. You can easily just use worse gems to simulate being a lower level.

Henrik can be hard to see. Did you run around a bit?
Radical Edward

yeah, but I am way past that now. I have tried three times. My new character cant get eileen to spawn outside cathedral ward. Maybe I have progressed too far. I will keep checking for the lamp to be unavailable in this playthrough. Where is Henrik usually waiting at the tomb?

I'm ready I think. Massively overlevelled but it's NG++ and I'm not the greatest player so it's okay in my mind. Bring on Tuesday.
Also I only just learnt how to turn the Shadows of Yarnham on each other and tried it out in a co-op session. This game's keeps on giving.

Is the DLC up for preorder in Europe? Can't find it in the Spanish shop.
PSN store says it would unlock at midnight. 27 hours to go.
edit.
It should be. Can't find it via searching or from BB page but I see it on upcoming releases list.
it's up in the german store.

I think the first time you talk to Eileen must be before you defeat Vicar Amelia. After VA you can help her kill Henrik. Entering the forbidden woods might be the point of no return for her quest but I'm not positive. If you help her with Henrik she will be outside the Grand Cathedral after you defeat Rom.
Henrik kind of blends in a little. He's a bit towards the back.

Pre-ordered about an hour ago.
You should be able to find it in:
Games > Coming Soon
It was the first one there.
UK btw.

You're talking about the DLC Dawg?
How it compares to Chalice dungeons in terms of difficulty?

Grinning ear to ear.
I'm on a new playthrough on a different account trying to get the Platinum (just have the chalice dungeons to go urrrggghhh), hopefully I can still access the DLC in this playthrough as I'm level 80 something which seems to be a nice spot for this.
Probably can't say until tomorrow.

It's been so long since I've done those, but the final boss felt more difficult. The hardest boss in chalice was fire dawg in the defiled chalice (imo) because of the HP restriction. But this one is able to kill me in a hit or two and I have tons of HP.
This is my HP bar (non DLC screen):
But you did it
WE DID IT! <3
Oh boy. This will be a treat.

Dawg is like fuck endurance.

O yeah. Forgot about that.

Endurance is often the last thing I level in BB. Compared to Souls it doesn't seem as important.

I can see that, I still like having high endurance for attack stamina and better element resistance. I tend to level endurance a lot to begin with but then I start putting it mostly toward HP, strength and skill. Wish there was a way to build Frenzy resistance w/o equipment.
no new trophies? aw

Any word on length of DLC?
Not really. I have 40 End on one of my characters and the bar looks to be similiar length.

I remember euro gamer estimated about 8hours but it obviously depends on how good you are and your pace.

True, yeah good point. He just has a ridiculous HP bar.
Well it is almost mandatory to have that high HP for Defiled Chalice. What is even more ridiculous is that he got killed in one hit with that health bar in the DLC.

Nice, nice. NG+ or NG++ though?

Damn, maybe my level 80 ng+ character is a bit underleveled. I didn't want to be able to steamroll the dlc so I've been using all my echoes to buy vials...
