Yeah, someone told me about their bodies :P they were simple after that. I finished all 3 DLCs yesterday. Soloed every single DLC Boss; no NPCs used either, except on the Trio Squad, which I could've soloed but it was the last boss I needed to complete the Sunken King DLC and I wanted out of that area terribly lol so I said -blam!- it and used 2 NPCs. I'm farming Loyce Souls now for the Ivory King Armor Set and backtracking to make sure I didn't miss anything before I head into NG+. Loved everything about Dark Souls II! Happy I decided to solo everything my first play through.
