Yesterday, one Elden Ring fan noticed something called "DLC+" at the bottom of a Fextralife wiki page, which it claims is a difficulty modifier separate from New Game Plus that gives all enemies increased health and damage after you beat Consort Radahn.
This has completely slipped under the radar, so this same fan—Spleenczar—tested it for themselves and crunched the numbers. They made a character, got to the end of the DLC, and copied the save file. On one, they beat Consort Radahn and started New Game Plus, and on the other, they skipped the fight altogether and started New Game Plus.
