you'll face dire before you get hallowed jhen. in fact when you beat dire miralis the hr cap on your level is taken off and all the quests you've done before.. even the times you farmed a monster all accumulate to the hr after beating dire so with you having gotten to or beaten alatreon i'd say you start off at hr 48 or 49 after beating dire miralis. dire is just the urgent at the end of hr7.
