When the Souls games get too easy you do an SL1 (or 2 or 3 or whatever) run. When that gets too easy you take that character through NG+infinity. If you say that's too easy then you lose all credibility.

The same thing isn't true of the original DD, but it is of Dark Arisen. Stop using item and augment buffs, use mid-range weapons instead of the strong stuff. Bitterblack Isle is as tough or as easy as you want it to be, just like Demon's/Dark Souls.
