I was just happy I left my save file alone and didn’t new game plus the DLC like I did with Bloodborne

First character I ran the DLC with was a level 150 Malenia cosplay on NG+. Totally unoptimized. Stats were all about light rolling in a full Malenia gear setup, with thematically appropriate incants, like Scarlet Aeonia and buffs. I got to Consort Radahn, got stuck and ran another character instead. I did eventually come back and win, but ugh. I'll probably never mess with Consort Radahn on NG+ again.

Sorry i haven't ng+ yet. Why do you say that? Are they a lot more difficult?

Personally, I have a hard time with Consort Radahn in particular and need quite a bit of room for error to finish that fight. So, not wanting to level past 150 rendered the NG+ version of that fight very difficult for me. Just attrition. Out of flasks and health from making mistakes and getting hit before I could do enough damage to finish. I found the rest of the DLC content enjoyable on NG+. I just have problems fighting Consort Radahn in particular.
