@golguin: No he means like, the bosses are so far away from the beginning of the DLC. It's not like the Manus dlc for the original for instance where you start out on a boss, do an area then a boss, do two areas then a boss, and then have an optional one. It's playing for a long time through multiple areas before reaching a single one.
Still struggling with Fume Knight. Starting to get used to his attacks, finally, and took off all my armor to be able to dodge him better. I also reallocated all my points. My pyromancy helped nothing, so I put a ton of those attunement points and other unnecessary points into strength. With 99 strength, I'm finally doing similar damage to what I would do on bosses outside of the DLC. His blast attacks really destroy me when they hit, though. I need some more tries.
I also respecced as a wizard just to try it, but that was no use. I had bought/found a bunch of powerful spells, some decent gear and a witch's staff that seemes pretty strong, but even with 67 intelligence I'd throw everything I had at him and he wasn't even halfway down when I was out of spells.
The Fume Knight on NG+ has the ability to deal 1200-1500 dmg with a single attack so it's probably smart to focus on increasing your damage output and having just enough health to prevent getting one shotted. I killed him while dealing 250 base damage with my Uchigatana (around 50 hits to kill him) and the only safe bet is to go with single hits as the 2nd hit can leave you open for his counter sweep attacks with his short sword. Learn his mix up with his short sword and greatsword and you'll eventually get it.
