Do not worry about the difficulty of this DLC the point of it is people started saying that the base game became to easy so from soft made a differnt levelling system you need to collect these blessings to level up in the shadow realm to make it less difficult. That being said the DLC has amazing areas and new weapons and armors and offer a vast variety of mysteries to unfold this is easily the best dlc to come to any game.
Well done from software 👏
