Any build with the right weapon and just use summoning ashes on every boss. I did a whole new playthrough determined to use either INT, FAI, or DEX and ended up just going STR again. Second time through was more enjoyable.

I'm planning on a fresh start with the DLC release too. I had planned to beat a fresh ER before the DLC release but Factorio is just taking too long

Giant crusher + lions claw trivializes most boss fights. The invulnerability frames + mega stance dmg turns everything into a one button masher. I mean if you wanted to make it a little harder you could jump heavy attack instead of just ash spamming, then it's 2 buttons and no i-frames.

Interesting I’ll have to try that on my pre dlc speedrun.

I usually go pure sorcery with a greatsword as backup and for trash until I get MLGS since you need a boatload of INT for it anyway

I'd start a new game for sure. NG+ and a first-time run of DLC tend to be a good way to get destroyed, in past experience.
Starting the DLC will require Mohgwyn Palace to be cleared. Which means playing half the game or so. Probably going to be a ton of people dropping signs outside Mohg's door to help people kill him in the weeks before launch, might be a fun thing to do.
Yeah I'd love a BB2 especially if it was in the ER open world style. I'm finding that Souls 3 is kind of a "Bloodborne 2 + Souls" hybrid, at least. A lot of the areas look exactly like they're straight out of Bloodborne.

I don’t think BB would work as well in open world. BB’s aesthetic and theme is very specific, and involves gothic architecture, towns/cities, a bit of corruption, etc. I think it would be extremely challenging to create an open world that felt right. The whole world would be Caelid or something similar, and that feels weird.

DLC entrance is after the Mogh fight.
The entrance to his area is in the final open world zone, Consecrated Snowfield. However you can unlock a teleport much earlier... at some point in Liurnia I think via Varre's quest.
Imo Mogh is one of the easier bosses.
I started a fresh save and I'm 80% into the game, ready for the DLC.

I think I'd prefer a complete remake, ala Demon Souls, by Blue Point for Bloodborne, as a BB2 will never happen (thanks Sony).

I did the same with BG3. Restarted multiple times with different builds. I still haven't finished it.
Enjoy DS3, friend. Better than Elden Ring imo.

From someone who loved Elden Ring and played it for 160 hours, I like DS3 better because it is a better Souls game. Elden Ring's open world is great, but I prefer the maze-like Souls worlds better where you stumble across shortcuts that weren't obvious and realize the depth of the interconnected world building as you progress farther. Again, I love Elden Ring, but I just prefer the Souls world style better.

Dungeon crawling is my preference as well. I'm hoping that FromSoftware goes big on dungeon crawling next game.
