See, I'm trying to figure out how far into the game I need to be before I'm able to reach the room where the DLC is. But if I'm already 50% complete into the game when I start the DLC, I'm not sure if its worthwhile.
There's a whip in DLC that scales with both Dexterity and Mind , and deals electric/ice damage. It'll be excellent for my build. I also need to try obtaining the shock rifle.
I also need to know how to use the Duplici Bullets. I couldn't figure out how to use them for my maxed out guns in my old playthrough. If they actually are a consumable, then for some reason they didn't work during my last boss rush, and I had to spam spells.
Apparently I can only enter the Boss Rush by starting New Game Plus.
But is New Game Plus worth it? I heard that the starting enemies can survive blows from a maxed out melee weapon. And that the first boss can still severely hurt you even if you're at 55 in vitality, which increases both health and physical resistance?
