I beat him on my first try. I might be giving you totally asinine advice, but what i did was dash straight forward through his swipes to get underneath him and attack his hind legs. When the opportunity presented itself I landed a few charged R2's. He went down without much of a fuss.

I understand everything BUT the difference between overall physical defense vs blunt/thrust resistance
You might be coming at him too soft. If you manage a few hits to his head it knocks off his electricity and I think it even opens him up for a visceral. Then he'll try to reactivate it, leaving him open even longer. Doesn't hurt to put on some bolt DEF either.

Haha. I just assumed HoH were this games version of Blue Sentinels. Just no idea what they do thats special.
See I love my cane too, but the problem is either you have fast attacks but no range or range and slower attacks. Both are fucking me over in this fight versus

Is it possible to miss this? I found the area a few hours later

Try to stay under him and just wail on his legs. He will stagger and you can get a few good hits in.

I'm trying to get enough Ritual Blood 3s to get into
dungeon. Is the best way to do that just to enter the previous dungeon and farm enemies? Or do I need to remove the chalice first to reset eveything? I've got 7/9

What's the point of the

Just keep walking. You can't really see it when you get off the elevator, but if you just run forward from the door opening of the elevator, you'll run into it.
There's also another one in the

This has probably been asked before, but has there been any relative consensus on what a good PvP level cap is? Dark Souls had it at 120 I believe, which seems like it'd be a bit high for Bloodborne but I may be wrong.
Well, just after I was complaining about the Blood Gem Master achievement, 2 dropped and I got it 
That leaves just
for a platinum trophy Making my way through Defiled right now -- it's a bitch with a lot of one-hit enemies and shit, but the first boss wasn't too bad. Here's hoping it's not so hard I give up lol

You can be
friendly with him or so i'm told. You have to beat the Darkbeast at the Gaol and approach Djura from the door you can unlock.
I lost around 15 total. I was playing really sloppy and got chain grabbed throughout in those narrow ass hallways, lol.
Dodge forward through his swipes and attack his head and front legs. You'll bring him down after a few repeat attacks and then go for a Visceral Attack.
Anyone know how to open the closed door next to treasure box in Cathedral Ward? Going back through the game trying to open all the doors I couldn't before and this one has me stumped.

Axe is the most broken. A lot of people seem to enjoy the sword as well. I used the sword thrust attack on giant snake balls
I lost 13 in that one area. fuck those guys. but there's plenty of Madmen items you'll find so it's not bad.
The "keep your distance and look for openings to attack" strat is what I tried when I first got to him...did not work at all, his attacks are too quick and relentless, I couldn't make it work as I could never find an opening that wouldn't get me punished. Staying tight to him worked worlds better.

So I just love doing new runs where I go to the forest first and collect all the items I can get, which usually leaves me with a ton of souls and 16 twin blood shards, and then I just progress normally and upgrade my hunter's axe to +6 as early as possible and start to wreck every boss.
So much fun.

I can't wait to get home tonight and get past the
. I really, really fucking hate that place. I have an idea of how to get through it after someone helped me earlier in the thread, but it's just so awful. I get turned around and lost over and over. Enemies aren't too bad, except
but the little guys die pretty quick. I just want to get back to the more urban looking areas. Not a fan of
Forbidden Forrest

Hmmm.
i ran so far from the elevator that I hit what seemed to be a wall, where the color changed slightly, and the elevator seemed to no longer be getting smaller. Then I ran around until I was an equal distance the other way from the elevator It's either not in there or I just covered 75% of the available area and missed the correct quadrant. I'll head back down tonight....

The fight becomes a lot more manageable if you summon Alfred, who's available near the ramp that leads down into the chapel area just before the boss. You'll see a glowing messenger thing, ring the bell and out he comes. He's a great tank for this fight.
Otherwise, you can parry the boss kind of easily once you learn his patterns.
thanks for info.
Shit. I was too hasty in trying to get to him and got two hitter by the Sythe dude. Went ages without dying and now two deaths in a row lol. So long blood echoes
Are you locked on? I found it to hurt way more than it helped as it made the charge basically impossible to get out of. Unlocked on I would just do a quick sprint jump to avoid it.

Wow that's kind of strange. I've admittedly never left the area without dealing with it, so I'm not sure if it can be lost.
Be sure to do the "Make Contact" gesture for 30-40 seconds in front of it before killing it.

In the upper Cathedral?
yeah they just ganked me with the cthulhu face monster and I lost 2 million echos : (
I posted a cane strategy for Logerius a couple of pages back. Try it.
Finally figured out the trick to that. Dodge back-left twice. Once for the initial charge, then right after for the tentacles. Finished her off last night, 50% of the damage I did was from my gun I'm pretty sure. Both when she does the arcane attack and flying I unlock my targetting and just run.
