Beat FG on second try with just two handed axe and no guns/special item, as a Souls noob this is my proudest moment

 

[Rhaknar]

I just noticed that he was 2 handing that axe. Can you do that with all weapons? I have the saw cleaver...

Some weapons go 2 handed when you transform them, some dont

Is it possible to switch covenants?

 

[HardRojo]

one major complaint i have is how hard it is to see your dropped Echoes. i mean seriously, the dropped souls in the previous games were very visible.

That or noticing which enemy absorbed them. It's hard to tell.

 

[Guevara]

I think I need to take a break and admit I'm not having fun at the moment.

Basically now I'm: grinding for health and molotovs, running to the second boss, if I miss a single parry or get caught in his combo..., grinding for health and molotovs...

Oh and of course I can't summon help yet. I seriously can't believe they took such a huge strip backwards.

I haven't done it yet but apparently you need to go to him while wearing the Black Church Set. I'm not sure if you need to do anything else but wear it

Thanks. Incentive for NG+ I suppose.

Good to know



Npc

NPC hunter.

Actual enemy.

Alright, that is good to know, thanks. This won't be very fun to beat; the healing is annoying.

Yeah, I still have no idea how I picked up some drops because I sure as shit didn't see them on the floor.

Looking for the enemy who's eyes turned into spotlights isn't that hard.

I fucking missed her during 2 of the important points so I won't own her armor I guess. Then again I wasn't crazy about its stats and armor sets in this game aren't as 'clearly superior' as in the other one. Currently wearing the tomb armor set because I spent way too much souls on it to not use it.

You know there is a lot of cheapness with your boss design when people are using the "get the boss stuck in the environment and then wail on them" strategy.

And some manage to brave the odds by skill, using cheap tactics to win is the motto of players who see no way to overcome that gap and that is just fine and how it has always been.People were unable to beat Manus and just shot arrows at him for half an hour, would you call that cowardice or a fuck up on Froms part? You could call it both.

 

[brinstar]

I just got blown clean off a rooftop by a shotgun-wielding geezer in a wheelchair so I think it's time for bed.

 

[Cincinnatus Powell]

No idea if it's been posted yet, but found a decent spot for farming echoes, check the spoiler tag (it's a bit into the game)...

Spoiler

The Lecture Hall lantern loads extremely quickly from the hunter's dream (about 6-8 seconds on average.) Just clear the lecture hall on the right mid-way down from the lantern and run back to the lantern. Good for about 10-12k echoes at a time, makes it very easy to max out your vials/bullets and of course over level yourself.

Won't spoil my favorite weapon so far completely,

Spoiler

but man oh man does that thing make me feel like Thor.

Oh no doubt. However that strategy only works for a little because,

once he goes into his second form, he rips through those graves. If you can't maneuver or riposte properly, you're dead.

 

[LiK]

yeah. In Souls game they were shiny as shit. This is barely shiny and sometimes gets confused for the spirit mark of another player

I agree. Why wouldn't they just keep it the same.

That or noticing which enemy absorbed them. It's hard to tell.

Yeah, I still have no idea how I picked up some drops because I sure as shit didn't see them on the floor.

yea, not a fan of how it's implemented. sometimes i just give up on the Echoes instead of trying to find them.

It's in their eyes.

Cheers. Tonight is bloodborne night. Gonna take on father g then explore further. Know nothing beyond that point so it should be pretty terrifying!

 

[XxRampage07xX]

What stat should I level for my axe? I have been lvl vitality, endurance and a bit of skill.

I say strength. Skill and Strength are very similar, so you can choose either of them. But if I recall correctly, building strength stat gives you more points for your axe and damage output of your character than building skill stat.

[Evo X]

Go get them back, meng!

Can't. He killed me and then picked them up.

When I tried to get them back, he killed me again.

The new bloodstain system is pretty annoying. If it wasn't for that, I could have grabbed my echoes and ran the hell out of there. :/

easily my favorite set so far, i mean look at the freakin' feather!

severe end game questions

Spoiler

I found the third umbilical cord. FROM are some sick dudes..... lol? maybe.

I've killed all the bosses that are associated with trophies, save the chalice one. I'm missing one chalice, which I think you might get in a chalice dungeon?

I've given three vileblood thingies to the queen and I restored her after she got 86d by Alfred (pretty cool that you can revive her)

I got the +10 blood stone. I'm rocking a +10 starting weapon, the cane.

Is there anything else I should do before i eat 3 umbilical cords and go for the win?

Also, is a level 15 gem needed for the achievement? Got a few 14s

 

[Vaudeville Villain]

I had to get mine up to 18 to use this new pistol and it's boss as hell, so I think it's worth it for that. You don't exactly one shot enemies though.

Interesting. It's things like this I like in from games. The one stat that gives you a powerful item that catches players off guard in pvp. Like necromancy in DS2.

I just noticed that he was 2 handing that axe. Can you do that with all weapons? I have the saw cleaver...

Not 2 hand, but when you extend the blade, the charge attack has good reach.

 

[NastyBook]

Killed the machinegunner with the cheapness, now I'm gonna try to get that dandy stepping prick that's below him. He's seriously starting to piss me off. I can't seem to find his parrying move. I'm going to bed win or lose, though.

 

[LiK]

i picked up the Kirkhammer. i dunno, the hammer mode is so darn slow...

 

[Dresden]

Got Ludwig's to +10, and it's alright. A scale in Arcane, and with the appropriate gems it's up to 400 atk power right now (28 arcane). Curious to see how it scales up.

Really wish I could have stuck with the Tonitrus, but it's so fragile.

 

[super-famicom]

easily my favorite set so far, i mean look at the freakin' feather!

And it's yellow! Almost everything in the game is pretty drab. This one really caught my eye (although that screenshot is kinda dark).

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Can someone tell me the second to last boss? Personally I would like to know so I can explore all the areas before I start ng +

When you transform the axe with l1 you will 2 hand it.

did you find the

the third umbilical cord?

does it involve the npc, the

whore?

 

[Beelzebufo]

I mean, that's not really true though. The bell system is fine, bworthe multiplayer is fundamentally broken. It would be like in your scenario, you ring the bell, but no one can see your circle to click. It's a networking problem, not a mechanics problem.

It works though! I've helped out a lot of people before. It may not work every time, and it's variable, but that might be unavoidable. At the very least you shouldn't use an insight until after the person shows up.

 

[BeEatNU]

So I met up

Spoiler

with the hunter hunter at father G place and I kept her alive and beat up the hunter

I can't find out where she is now. I always seem to miss these sub quest. Even the

music box and finding the kids mom. She doesn't reply to me now

So yeah. Lol.

Cheers. That's actually pretty damn good if this is your first souls game(It's not my first and I died to FG 3 times).

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

This Forbidden Forest is ruining me. Too big and too many enemies. First area that feels like a slog to get through.

 

[McBryBry]

ENB is working on it too and he recently made a promo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLC8o9asksM
You will get a cool dynamic theme exclusive to the guide.

Yeah, definitely ok with this lol. Theme looks nice, and it not being a useless delay makes me happy.

Progressing through the chalice dungeon is the thing to do, there is always something special and unique to encounter including the absolute last thing you would have expected. Go through them

You can summon help even before Cleric Beast.

You just need the bell from the hub

Where can i meet that npc? I think I might have killed her while in the sewer

that is a good place to farm. Normally I go back and kill the red spawning enemy, then kill the villagers, go up the lift and make a circle through the mobs and back down to the lantern.

I was using this for a little. Slow, sluggish weapons just do not feel right with flow of the game, can't really vibe with them.
