Yep if I understand what I've read correctly, whatever your level is gets lowered to whatever the max level for the map your in is. I'm not 100% sure about that, but it seems reasonable.
Some of the mini bosses in First Samurai are nearly level boss status. One in particular that I've run into in the underworld...dang man, no easy way to kill this thing. I put myself up for co-op in the underworld and it's always 2 or 3 of us and most times one of us doesn't survive. And it's only a "mini" boss lol.
I read up a bit on the underworld and there doesn't seem to be any hard facts as to when it unlocks....there's no way TN would keep it locked until DoTW or DoTN, that would keep so many players from getting in there. And they did it so right this time...much much better than the first games abyss levels.
edit: nevermind - you do have to unlock DoTN It kind of makes sense though...floor one in the underworld is brutal, harder than NG+++...I'm at floor 10 now and the bleeding will never stop
