To use cosmetics for the little ghouls go to the back of the house in the dream there is a wooden stump there to do it
 
The fact that the bells require insight really makes you not be able to take advantage of coop/invasions that much. Pretty smart.
 
Made some good progress tonight. I'm level 47 and I just beat
Dark Beast Paarl, Witch of Hemwick and Vicar Amelia
The latter 2 didn't give me much trouble.

Game is s'goooooood.

Wasn't that how humanity worked?

I wish the bells were given to you more easily. I cant find anyone all day it's so annoying. I miss soapstones. I feel like I have no control with this one.

Also what is beasthood? I have some pellets but cant figure out what to do. Is it like hollowing?
 
Just remember that when you get 10 insight you can use the insight vendor but once you go low again it will restrict access until you get 10 again.
 
I think I was a bit over leveled for the first boss because I accidentally skipped him for a while, but I beat it on the first try! I needed like 10 blood vials though. I guess now I need to go back the direction I'd gone before..

Not entirely. If you use your resonant bell often you'll have plenty of excess insight. I'm sure I have a bunch of madman's knowledge items as well.
 
One thing I don't get - people saying that grinding isn't necessary.

It absolutely is, especially if you play offline.
 
Hmm, yeah it's three bullets. Still worth using over guns on the majority of boss fights. I haven't tried it on every weapon yet, but so far the only one it doesn't work on is the electric mace.



Are you talking about the
Sahdows of Yanham
fight? I guess the Axe spin, if you ever actually landed it would be pretty good, but my god that weapon is slow.

Yeah.

You could run to one corner of the arena to be outside of the fireballs range and see the other 2 walk right up to you, rev up and whack them. Run to the other side and repeat until the snakes come out and the fireballs have an arc. This actually makes it easier as you can stay in one area longer and just do that until they die. Then the fireball using one goes aggro and has extremely huge recoveries that allow you to do the move right in its face.

The move is slow but you seem to get a hit of armor partway through to blow through stuff, which means if you take a hit while attacking it you regain the health anyway with how this game works. It just about wrecks everything that doesn't have a projectile.

Yeah, I have 20 of the skulls alone on top of the ~14 or so insight I have right now.
 
Does it matter that at the beginning of the game I suck so bad an always lose my blood echoes? Is this making me fall pretty behind?

No They are insignificant. Even when you eventually lose 10k, 20...50k echoes, that's just a time honored souls tradition :p

Nah. When you beat the first boss you'll have enough echoes to pump up your stats a bit and then you can just go and decimate the enemies in the first area to get back the ones you've lost.

So far I haven't had to grind at all (solo only here). I also beat Demon's Souls and Dark Souls solo without grinding as well.
 
Wasn't that how humanity worked?

No. Humanity increased item find and it's also what you used to get out of being hollow. It also healed you for quite a bit too. If you constantly died, I guess you could say they were similar, but insight seems to be a lot harsher.
 
I just read a post on reddit that said
There are invisible walls in the chalice dungeons, and someone took a pic to prove it.
Holy shit. I wonder if we have any in the main game.

I think since this is a known mechanic now people will know what to try out. People not wanting more challanges can spend them on consumables and people wanting challenge for latter on just pop the items that give insight. It's not really as tedious as World Tendecies in Demon's, you have full control over the parameter for the most part.

Oh shit! I was wondering why one time they were using magic and then since then its been all melee. I kind of like the insight mechanic because there seems to be a lot we still don't know.

Not at all, you can refarm them perpetually. The only thing lost is a bit of time. By end game, you will be losing tens of thousands without batting an eye.
 
Anyone knows if the NPC that keeps saying that you are lying will ever make up his mind and go to the Cathedral Ward?
 
Well day two and I finally got that first boss down.... Sucks I can play great for an hour, then out of no where one little miss dodge and I have to start all over lol.
 
I am addicted to this game.

I decide to stop playing, I go and try to do something else, and within 20 minutes I want to play more. I want to learn all five trick weapons I currently have. I want to figure out where the fuck it was I died because I made progress but totally don't remember the way.

This is like Dark Souls 1 / the good parts of Demon's Souls (I was not ready for that game). I keep getting lost but it's okay because it's so fun to fight and the environments are so goddamn gorgeous.
 
Since I'm not fussed about making the game harder, should I start buying those sets in the insight store? I was afraid I would need them but it seems you get plenty anyway and the sets look cool

The sets they sell too are freaking crazy for damage reduction. Wish I'd known about them sooner.

I do miss chucking lightning bolts or spamming magic, just because some of these huge enemies have such massive range.

And you can't see shit once in melee range to actually hit them. The camera on pretty much all of the large boss fights sucks.
