New to Fromsoft DLC, what do I need to know? (feddit.uk)

I hadn't played a Souls/like/borne game before Elden Ring, but the moment I did I fell in love with the sub-genre.

That said, I've never played any of the DLC before, so I'm wondering how I need to approach it. For context: I finished Elden Ring but never started a NG+ run.

Can I jump back in with my guy, or am I going to have to work my way up to the part of the game that unlocks the DLC?

Thanks.

Create a new character. I don't know if your level will be important, since I heard, that the DLC uses a Sekiro like leveling system.

I'd love to go again, but time is a factor. I maybe have an hour or two a day of free time so I'd rather not commit to a new run...plus the DLC if it can be avoided.

Fwiw, been power leveling a new run for fresh character on fresh content. With a buddy you can mule some armor, uhh lil buff badges (talismans?), souls (those items you pop to consume) and weapons over to new character for head start.

RIP over to Caelid to kill big sleepy dragon. Bonus points with tali/gold foot for extra souls. Helps to use those group things for golden rain (extra souls)

That'll get you beefy out the gate. Speed run PVP quest to get teleported to mohg blood domain. Run up to that starting bonfire on cliff for ez farm.

Bam, you're basically able to grind that to become Uber with minimal time investment. Co-op gets a bit silly cause you'll be over-leveled but eh
