Guys.... I would start a new character if you want to play the DLC.
I put 4 characters through all the depth 5 chalice, and they are way too powerful for the DLC.
I got to third area and beat all the bosses on the first try. None of the bosses are as hard as the depth 5 chalice bosses.
I beat Maria with 4 visceral attacks.
Overall a little disappointed in the difficulty level.
Chalices are like the hardest shyt in the game th ough breh.
