I assume fans will be keen regardless, but be prepared for some hellish bosses on NG+. As such, you need to make a call whether you want to step up to the challenge with your current arsenal, or, work up to it on a fresh playthrough. If you’re currently playing in a new game plus, be aware the difficulty of DLC is also increased. Before doing any of this, however, you first need to make an important decision. An Amygdala will then transport you to ‘The Hunters Nightmare.’ Yep… It’s pretty obscure, but I do have to admit it fits well with the tone of Bloodborne’s world design. Once you’ve done this, return to Oedon Chapel, exit the door on your left, and head to the top-right corner.

With specialist weapons, refined statistics, and resistance-based gear, it was the most elegant Souls experience yet, and with this, I required no arm twisting to return and try my hand at another nightmare. I’m often critical of any systems or mechanics that don’t respect my time, and this is something Bloodborne is less guilty of than its predecessors.

I’ve been a fan of the series since Demon’s Souls, but the elegant, fat-trimmed design of Bloodborne appeals to me the most with its captivating eldritch universe. When I reviewed Bloodborne earlier this year, I wrote: “Like a controversial piece of art, I completely understand why someone might not enjoy it, but I do think the industry as a whole should be able to appreciate it for what it is.” I also called it a masterpiece, and I stand strongly by that deliberation to this day.
