My apologies, scadutree levels still only go to +20. That's the max. But if you didn't get that in one playthrough, you can still get more upgrades in ng+ and max out.
It's not just lack of scadutree levels people also need to explore and find better weapons armor and talismans. I just found a talisman that makes my twohanding do more damage by a lot .I got +3 crimson amber talisman I be a lot of complainers have not even found that. I just got a new hammer to use with my new two hander talisman. New armor that gives great protection well being lighter then bull goat armor. COME ON PEOPLE do better
@@timholloway8821 could you tell me where to go for them? I thought there was a limited number of whatever they had in the original game and didn’t know the dlc offered larvals
@@ExileTwilight I think it is pretty harmless. The shackles also activate the fire-spewing pillars and reveal illusion walls. They have not been touched yet.
I doubt the blessings stack beyond 20. You'll either keep the 20 without it increasing anything more or you'll have to reget them. If I'm wrong, that's interesting. But I will need to see proof.
Yes max Scadu blessing is 20, and max revered ashes is 10. Getting more does not stack they just sit in your inventory like golden seeds/sacred tears when maxed
This is a huge misspeak on the part of this video if that's true cause he's making it sounds like you can get 20 each playthrough...I need to know before I start a fresh playthrough
You would start the expansion 20 already instead of building up to 20 throughout. He was definitely a little bit off making it seem like by new game plus you could have 40.
Im also on NG+ , I like to cap at level 150. It's hard but I'm enjoying it a lot. I still find I'm powerful against basic enemies. Probably I'm going to struggle with bosses though. Only done one and I was dying very quickly before I beat it
I’m in NG+1 and I’m ready curious how much harder it is than base game! Remember, in NG+, you would theoretically already have a full set of tears. So we’re double behind!
Bloodloss build, uchigatana on both hands, bloodhound step, mimic, and Bloodflame incantation helped me get through a lot of bosses. Also anything that inflicts rot or Death was helpful. You can make this game as hard as you want or as easy as you want. I got a life to live so I made it easy
I would hope you’d be experienced enough to hold your own being +7 lol. I’m still on my first playthrough so can you tell me how ng+ works when you’re that high?
@@ImKiingg It just makes the enemies have more health and deal more dmg basically, up to ng+7 where it caps at double the original games stats. going further than that wont do anything
@@ImKiingg I can hold my own but in NG+7 the gear and levels can only get you so far because nearly every trash mob can 2-3 shot you and every boss can 1 shot you and this is amplified by the dlc difficulty spike. This makes it very difficult
I'm level 607, I'm on ng9+, it's safe to say I've played a lot of Elden ring. Most of the bosses were a pretty solid challenge, even for a soulslike. But Messmer and Consort Radahn straight kicked my shit in. Probably 120+ tries on Radahn (ng7+ difficulty ended up being a big regret). Don't give up guys. The shit is just hard lol.
I entered the DLC on NG+4 🙄. You can get to the Cerulean Coast map fragment through the Dragon Pit cave and behind the huge dead dragon at the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion
I never started a new game plus run through and i stop playing about a year ago with my character level at 250. Im playing the dlc and still wrecking everything with ease lol. Int/Bleed build.
10:38 there are mausoleum coffins throughout the Shadow Realm to duplicate remembrance in the DLC. Instead of being a giant walking mausoleum… it’s just the little coffin with the shape of a person on top sitting out in the open. I know there are a handful but the one that I found was behind the building we meet Ymir in (Cathedral of Manus Metyr). I used all my mausoleum in base game so I’m glad they added addition ones in the dlc.
You can also duplicate remembrances in the DLC itself. I found 2 "duplication coffins" (maybe there's more), but they are in open space, so you really need to look for them.
Hey there, do you have to do a whole new NG+ via beating the elden beast in order to restart the dlc, or do you NG+ the dlc specifically in order to reroll it?
When you get to the DLC, you will know if you are ready if you can beat the guy with the ring blades as soon as you walk out of the cave. I think that was the test . If you are lvl 100 that guy is going to take 5 mins to beat or 1 hit you. 😂
Yeah, he was fun. It’s just about knowing how to parry or otherwise wreck his 💩 before he gets close. It’s not that hard, but everything is new with new move sets so it’s going to be challenging
Yeah I'm also at ng+5 with my level being 411, it's a good time but that final boss of the dlc's story is just insane. So I'm going to have to go back and collect those fragments to get the max amount for level 20.
@xRedMan26 exactly why I've absolutely no shame in using the mimic tear because I actually like actively fighting and not dodging all the time for just one hit every ten seconds.
I stopped playing over a year ago to catch up on other titles in Dark Souls (had a blast), then found Skyrim, etc., and now back for the DLC - only to see I forgot everything. 😂 But even I’ve been able to beat a few bosses, got the Solitude Set with the KMart brand Moonveil (with 0 range!), got Yoda as a spirit summon, started carving up dragons and Ancient Dragon dude…it’s not impossible as the video made it sound (and I read the pinned comment). If you’re NG+7 or whatever: come on in, the water’s fine. It’s a soulsborne game. It’s never been easy. This ain’t Nintendo (no offense, I’m a huge fan of theirs too). But collect all 50 pieces of the scabby tree before you decide to toss out your NG7 file out of fear. FromSoft wouldn’t burn their old-time customers like that.
The problem I'm having is finding the route to extra areas that I havn't done. Ive ended up in the place to offer the seed? yet I have lots of places left on the map that I dont know how to get to.
Dude spreading misinformation like crazy. Scadutrees caps at a lvl 10 with extremly diminishing returns after that. So no guys.. no need to panic if you are ng+
On NG+3 and so far it's a bit more difficult that the base game (which was already the easiest Fromsoft Soulsborne) but nothing major. DS3 was my favorite Soulsborne, but I think this dlc might have put Elden Ring on top.
Makes me not feel bad anymore getting stuck on the final boss for the regular game. Don’t laugh. But I’m lvl 290 because larval tears don’t grow on trees just keep staking attribute points to change builds.
You forgot to mention to not to go near the Shadow Keep without progressing some of the NPC quest or you will be lock out of some of them and missed your chance on getting some goodies...like the Black Syrup.
I was actually doing fine until the final boss. I went through the entire dlc with my ultra great sword build, beat all the bosses up to the final. Including optionals. I can’t beat the final boss. I’m going to have to use a different build to do so because the ugs is just not mobile enough. And I really wanted to finish the dlc as Guts the godslayer…
Ngl I don’t see why people are saying not to in on NG+ accounts I’m on NG+++ and doing fine, and from what I can tell you can max out at 20 within one play through. Maybe just play the game ? lol
I'm probably among the worst of souls soulsborne players... that being said. I went in at lol 407, ng+7, and I just beat radahn like 30 mins ago... it's still possible
Meh I went on NG+8 I and I just killed Messmer after like 3 tries solo and Rellana after like 2 or 3 tries, so dont be afraid yeah they hit a little bit harder than normal but its not like they already dont hit like a truck 😂😂
I can attest NG+(2) on my main was a pain. kind of a bummer if they do let you continuously stack the tree buffs that i missed out on some stacking power but life goes on.
10:01 Huh? You have to time it "almost at the right moment"? So you don't actually need to time it at the right moment then? 🤔 10:19 There are also tombs scattered around the DLC that copy them too...
You missed a fragment, an easy one right, at the beginning. Just east of the first burnt town there is a guy holding a pot that is sparkling and will drop a fragment when he is killed
I don’t think these upgrades will stack past 20 it’ll be like the base game with the golden seeds you can still get them but they won’t have a use anymore past max level
first tip, huge thanks, i only have one character that's on NG+7 and was wondering if the blessing level would carry over or not into further cycles, gotta say it is indeed the most important step to make the DLC not be basically a challenge run
Wait so... i started a ng and downloaded the dlc in the ng state so that means the dlc map is in ng state too? No fucking wonder im getting 2 shotted when i have scadutree level 7 lmao insane
The scaudtree fragments make your level almost irrelevant. The % increase to damage reduction and damage you deal from those fragments does more than your level could do.
I'm 217 on my original save never ng+. I'm getting clapped by the bore guy, the hand boss, basically every boss. I'm not even getting close on them though. It's not fun when you do nothing damage so it's a marathon fight. I hate that. I wish leveling up still mattered like the original game ia as much on top of the fragments. If I got to level 300 I still wouldn't do any more damage in SOTE. I don't feel my character getting any stronger. They need to stop nerfiing us and boosting the enemies.
I was forced to start a new game plus because I missed one of the achievement (missed the Gransax weapon). The DLC is definitely kicking my ass but im slowly making progress. I had a feeling that difficulty spike was way to steep to be intentional, but it's too late to turn back now.
Those aren’t Marika crosses. They are Mequella’s 😂 WARNING BEFORE ENTERING THE SHADOW KEEP ENTRANCE: If you are doing the NPC side quests make sure you complete whatever current task you get from them and exhaust their dialog. Entering the keep triggers a world state change and will move your NPCs into their 2nd act
