Thank you Aislinna and spartaxoxo!

Question: how far am I from when I should try soloing Normal DLC Dungeons?
I heard they are way more difficult than base game so I avoided them until now.... Should I give them a go, or would I be smashed in them?

P.s. I remember entering FG1 in 2017 at around level 15 and getting demolished by the first group of goblins and turning immediately my back to group dungeons... What a journey it has been since then!

How easy do you find it to do normal Crypt of Hearts 2, City of Ash 2, and so on? Unless those are straightforward for you, you probably shouldn't try DLC dungeons yet.

As a quick follow-up - today I've cleared a Solo No-Death Veteran Hard Mode of City of Ash 2, but the Speedrun was impossible to achieve to me 'cause I had to take pauses because of the pain in my hands.
If Normal DLC dungeons are an equal stress to this, then maybe I'm better off skipping them, unfortunately. Perhaps I can do them, but maybe it's not for me. And I'm not complaining: it's totally okay if I won't solo everything. To me it's still great what I am able to achieve now...

Most solo DLC are better than vet City of Ash 2, with the exception of Lair of Maarselok. If you don't like C02 you'll probably hate that one. But both of these are outlier in terms of length.

I would dip my toe in if I were you with normal Falkreath hold. It's on the shorter end of DLC, but has some unique mechanics that make it good at understanding the concept of how they tend to implement unique mechs.

Yahoo! Congrats

Ph1p

Well done! What next on the list?

Dysturbed

Congrats. As some one who has nerve damage to his hands I can understand your challenge. Before the ring I could do delves solo not much else. Now I can solo group delves. At 70 years old I am happy with that. Game still kicks butt with everything else.

Congrats, am proud ^^ All that hard work and practice paid off

SkaiFaith

@spartaxoxo thank you very much for the insight! Also, glad to know!

Ph1p, maybe I could try Falkreath Hold next, as suggested by Spartaxoxo

@Dysturbed, you are rocking! I really hope to be able to kick back to the game as you do when I'll reach your age; it's a long way, I'm not yet halfway but almost...

Thank you OutLaw-Nynx! And @Jammy420 your comment made me smile thinking how crazy I've gone clearing well over 5.000 Dolmens before really starting to play the game XD.
Back when I started and died to 2 skeletons on Bleakrock Isle I was so scares to play that I decided I would have reached level cap (in the 810CP days) before starting to mind my own business in game, so I did just Dolmens... When CP 2.0 hit I wanted to be able to slot 4 slottable and have all passives.
After about 6 years of grinding and 1.800+ CPs I am finally enjoying my hard earned immortality 😁 and now... I can start overland side quests! 🤪🤣 (Wouldn't recommend my way to anyone!)
