I'm on the second map and already collected 70% of the scaduturee fragments. I like to explore every corner of the map so I think it will take a week or more to finish the DLC. So far loving it. It's harder than the base game but still the easiest souls for me. Too many overpowered and game breaking options from talismans to weapons to ashes of war handled to you. The upgraded tutle talisman is game breaking to stamina-heavy builds (also makes more reliable your to roll and attack much more) and the taliman thar recovers MP passively now allows me to spak ashes of war without worrying
I think at this point I can already spot many enemies on sight and know how to defeat them. Faith builds are incredible versatile and have many damage options. I'm also playing on NG which makes things easier and my character is now close to level 200
After this playtrough I'll do the DLC again with my NG+2 INT-DEX astrologer and see how is to play the DLC as mainly ranged caster. Most bosses looked even easier playing ranged than meele tbh, but exploration and dungeons looks designed to favor meele builds
