Ok so over the last 90 or so hours I've been playing SOTFS. What can I say? I don't think I've ever played a game like this. My first Soulsbourne game, but certainly not my last.

That said I'm now at a point where the end is in sight. I've played through the story to the point where I have the giant souls and I'm ready to start planning my endgame. But my question is what first? Do I go straight in to take on Vendrick and follow that with the DLC? Or should I do the DLC first, get the crowns and then take him on? I want to get the most I can out of this first play through, so any help any of you experts could provide would be most helpful.

Praise the sun!
