The DLCs bosses pretty much just get health on NG+, and not even in particularly excessive amounts. Their damage is pretty much the same whether you're on NG or NG+7. That's the entire point behind the Scadutree upgrades in the DLC. They boost your damage negation and damage dealt by massive amounts and are the main way you get stronger in the DLC. If you actually get those upgrades as you're supposed to, all DLC bosses are completely manageable.

When Miyazaki was beaten as a child, the belt was swung with a delay so that he would not dodge, everyone knows that. But few people know the continuation of this great story. One day, Miyazaki adapted to this, memorized all possible belt frames, and no longer took damage. But his father did not lose his head, and spent 2 years trying to surprise his beloved son again. Now he dealt 10 times more damage with a belt, jumped like crazy all over the room, and also used quick combinations of punches (mixed with the good old delays), which made Miyazaki's eyes did not have time to focus on him. But the father knew that this alone was not enough to surprise his son, so now his belt always caused damage to the area, in case his son wanted to roll over his back. And even when Miyazaki thought he could safely drink his bottle of fanta, the belt attack took him across the room. These memories inspired Miyazaki so much that he dedicated an entire DLC to his game Elven Ring to this.

Never mess with lion dancers, especially when there are two holding the costume.
So glad I had someone who got to the mother of fingers and told me about the fragment items
Getting one shotted at lvl 334 is a different level of humbling experience
When you grind for days, only for the game to scale to your level.
Legit, hardest part of the dancing lion is the camera wrangling
Weakest furnace golem: boop! U is dead now! Yippee!
When you're nothing but a strength build and you figure out strength is going to cut it anymore
I’m starting to get flashbacks from the fight with Ludwig from bloodborne
grinding endless hours to get absolutely demolished by some spirit summon with a machine gun crossbow
This was me walking into Mohg to unlock the DLC forgetting I was on NG+7
Getting one shot is a humbling experience 😂 they had to put us in our place, tell us it’s their world not ours
Ng2 is truly a colossal endeavor and yet i still live, i still endure
That's why I get strong enough to one shot everything then go even further beyond because I know someone is stronger and can one ahot me
this is literally me on my main play through i started a new character just to see if the dlc is chilled out at all😂
Playing UAC Atlantica for the first time was just "where crucible?"
Man I really feel that. Playthrough 4 for me and boy is it rough trying to solo these bosses. They are buffoonishly difficult.
That one knight in the starting area 💀
G: first Time doing that?, then welcome to my world.
It’s a nice change of pace ❤
Best part is, going into thr DLC in ng+ of any level just makes you even weajer because youre missing the blessing from previous runs
Devourer of Gods on the hardest possible difficulty:
That first Curseblade and Logur the Beast Claw humbled my 155 Crucible Knight build, QUICK!
When you realize that the "dancing beast" is just two naked men wearing a beast costume. One in the front wearing the head and the other being the hind legs.
Going into the dlc with the hand ballista and uchikatana as backup will be fun
The one who will humbled us not even the dancing lion, but he guts like guy or curseblade enemies
One of the smartest solutions from Fromsoftware devs.
i actually like this concept for some reason. because now i actually have to try again
Pretty sure the new bosses scale with you, which is kind of hilarious
“Enough… I have endured….. more then enough. I ask you forgive me, dearest Nanaya” (then proceeds to whoop your ass afterwords)
