This DLC is a 10/10 and people not recommending it because it's "too difficult", is an atrocity.
It isn't too difficult, you're either underleveled, badly equipped, or it's a skill issue, and if it is a skill issue, GIT. GUD.

Seriously that's it, on top of that there is an excellent wiki that can tell you what a boss is weak to, where a good weapon/spell/talisman is, and most importantly, where to go and what to do.
If you can't beat the DLC by going in blind and flailing like Hellen Keller in a mosh pit, there is no shame following a guide, summoning the mimic tear or using a "broken" build. The only thing that matters is having fun and if dying a lot makes you unable to have fun, why on earth are you playing a souls-like to begin with?
