Man, when Chalice Dungeons click, they really click.

Any tips for
Pthumerian descendant
? He seems more than doable but I couldn't telegraph all his moves.

I love and hate that throw attack at the same time.

I found the fight to be super easy. 3 parries and viscerals, and it was over.

Hey gaf how fucked am I? I have pissed off a hunter npc in the beginning area, kinda church setting where you could cut down two loot drops, i think its above the sewers. Crow kinda NPC standing on a balcony with dual daggers. Should i ignore her or go in for the kill? Is she important?

You fucked up. She had a questline you could have started. Might as well finish her off now...
 
Damn, so you can parry him. I tried a few times but he'd just Lautrec right through me. Should be easy now, thanks.

At one point he transformed his weapon, and I still parried him. He immediately transformed it back afterwards. "Well, shit. That's not gonna work on famicom..."
 
Bloodtinge: does it affect the parry window?


I mean, all weapons are too weak to be used for damage (aside from the
canon
, apparently; I haven't got it yet).. Why would I up bloodtinge skill then?

I totally agree. The level design isn't as tight as in the campaign but the fact each room has a different set of enemies keeps it fresh and interesting.

Is it worth leveling up Arcane just so I can use some of these "spells" that I'm finding? I'm talking about the unlimited use items that consume 1-2 QS bullets per use.

I take a break for a couple of days and come back and beat VA in one try. What the fuck.

Ha. I hope i have the same luck as you today. I was getting frustrated last night.

So i wasn't suppose to reach old yarnham yet? I got to the part where
whoever's voice that is talking to you
then i turned back since i remembered i had to open that gate with the hunters key. I then found a whole new area i would of missed, found the boss VA, can't beat her, so i found two more areas to the left and right that i can't decide to explore. lol. There's so many areas to choose from. Does it matter what i do first? Do i have to kill VA?

I was doing fine with pacing up until this point.

Anybody have any other suggestions for this? Or am i putting too much into where i should go?

Evelyn hits really hard if you're a bloodtinge build too. I took off 50% health of one of the hardest bosses in the game by continuously shooting it.

bloodtinge + evelyn + bone marrow ash=gg
I cheesed some bosses with that, not gonna lie.

Having high Arcane is so useful getting some crazy gems early in the main quest.

I might up bloating a bit then =] Thanks!
My VIT, END and STR are so great that I don't feel like upping them. I've already beaten three bosses in a row only dying once for each.

Anyone facing V
icar
A
melia
, use fire paper. It makes the fight ten times easier. It was ridiculous when I used it; so easy. And stay far for the sweep and behind for everything else. It's easy to read its movements.

if you can handle two bullets per shot: repeating pistol

anything else: pistol

for str builds who want a hard hitting gimmick to pair up with their pistol: cannon

but that 10 ammo! 2 shots and it's empty... I've heard its good on some bosses though.

The thing to keep in mind is that most guns have good scaling, I think a lot start around B. So that means a few points in Bloodtinge raise damage a lot, and when you pair that with weapon upgrades and runes, you can stack the damage pretty quick on guns. I know even with only like 7 bloodtinge and my blunderbuss at +5, my gun hits for like 80 damage point blank. Not great, but I have never even level Bloodtinge soooooo....

Just cheesed father g by dropping off on the shed and hitting him a few times and repeating that. Then he got stuck and I could just molotov him, he didn't even transform. The poor man. Kinda feel bad about it :(
 
I hate L
ogarius
.

So
Fucking
Much

Couple of pointers:

  • You can interrupt all his Stage 1 attacks with
    any attack of yours
    .
  • He has decent parry windows, so take advantage of that.
  • When he kneels and is glowing at the end of phase 1,
    interrupt with a charged backstab
    . That way you'll negate his buff that'll make it where
    your bullets will not be able to parry him most of the time (instead will deflect around him).
  • You can target the
    sword he places in the ground in phase 2
    . Focus on destroying that before continuing your attack on the boss proper.
  • During phase 2, focus on trying to parry during his
    scythe attacks
    . Otherwise, do 1 or 2 quick strikes after his
    airborne
    attacks.

I'll have my video of that fight up later today.

Been waiting 20 minutes trying to summon help for
The One Reborn
boss in
Yahar'gul Chapel
. Is anyone else having connection issues?

Maybe my level is too low (52) to get a pairing here?

Look at it from his perspective. If you got stuck between some rocks he would've whooped your ass without blinking an eye. No mercy for anyone in this game.
 
I just beat E
brietas
and was given the option to inspect something, but couldn't do anything to it. Is there anything important tied to it?
