What are my options at the point I'm at?

Spoiler

1.Got a door I can't open all the way at the bottom of the stairs past the giant with the ball and chain near some cliffs. 2.Door that I need a password for. 3.Gate in the small graveyard that I can't open right in front of the clinic at the start. 4.Boss in the cathedral. 5.Giant floating ghost thing in a huge cylindrical room that grabs you once you cross the room and instantly kills you (after climbing down a cliff face, fighting 2 giant axe wielding guys and killing two upgrade creatures.

Might have other options but can't remember where they are.

Amelia

as my third boss and she's wrecking me while I'm doing next to nothing to her. Did I get to her too early?

People do her either 3rd or 4th, so not drastically too early but maybe a touch.

 

[Inferno313]

When do I get another good weapon for my skill build? I'm up to the fourth boss, and I'm still rocking the Cane, occasionally using the RifleSpear as second choice. I really want those dual blades, but I understand that unless I want to kill Eileen, I have to be able to kill the Spider boss which I'm aways off from, correct?

Oh nice, found the way to open that gate without spending the 10k echoes.

The door at the bottom of the stairs is the one I'm wondering about (and I'm much later in the game than you, Lol).

Anyone?

Yea I really hope the Chalice meta is around 150-ish, I kinda want to do Chalice runs but I am already past 100 levels in the game.

I'm on NG+ and i've used the cleaver from the very start of the game and have had no problems at all with it. Pick the weapon with the play style you like and roll with it, because from what I can tell the game doesn't punish you for upgrading the "wrong" weapon.

This is amazing. Makes you realise how badly designed games are now.

 

[Stampy]

I don't get it the guy with an axe (in the corner) at the begining of the game, he is so hard to stun with a gun, I just cann't get it right. What is the tactic to defeat this enemy? I know I could use molotov, but how do you approach him without that?

 

[DarknessTear]

So I guess people have gotten up to NG+7 already? Goddamn.

Dodge at the right time. His axe spins are annoying though.

 

[Finalow]

The door at the bottom of the stairs is the one I'm wondering about (and I'm much later in the game than you, Lol).

Anyone?

I don't think you can open that, at all.

remember the npc saying that they closed the bridge going to the Cathedral Ward? That bridge is obviously where you fight the Cleric Beast, there you can see another door closed, which connects to the one at the bottom of the stairs.

I have all the 6 keys but the door is still close so yeah.

 

[mrklaw]

How? I tried visceral attacks but they did terrible damage. It's way to risky and one combo of my sword does more damage...

Same. Even visceral attack with extended axe did almost nothing. I'm just going to ignore him unless he is important? You don't need that lantern anyway

Also, somewhere in cathedral ward there was this one character with little tentacles in his face, a bit like doctor zoidberg. But my extended threaded cane was doing almost no damage at all. Are some enemies strong against certain weapons or weapon modes (extende or not)? That was the first time I noticed such a massive difference in damage between two weapons,

 

[ironcreed]

My I ask for some tips?

I have not employed my new strategy yet, but where I think I messed up is

Spoiler

running in wide circles to avoid the meteors, instead of locking on and fighting the little spiders first and simply quick stepping at the right sound cue just before they start landing. Then just avoid the AOE attack once the second wave of spiders are gone and take Rom out.

That is my plan anyway, lol. Let's hope it works.

So I haven't progressed the game since doing a bunch of co-op after getting to Old Yarnham. I got from 9 insight to about 30. I'm a little terrified for what is supposedly in store for me with the insight jump.

I think I figured out what I was doing wrong and hope to overcome that hurdle later on myself.

Tell me, tell me.....or better lets try him together

 

[FaintColt388301]

Just made it past the bonfire stuff, through the house, back to open that gate by the central checkpoint. Is this counting as a checkpoint again, or is opening the gate kind of a checkpoint? Can I go back to the hunter's dream and just come back and go through my new shortcut?

I just don't want all that stress to have been for nothing.

Once you open a gate it is open for good and the game saves it but you might want to go back to the dream, if you havent already, to level up some if you have a bunch of blood echoes

 

[SkylineRKR]

That mock up is so brilliant because its absolutely not exaggerating. Most games I play today are exactly like it.

You didn't max out bloodtinge or arcane.

its not the modes. its the damage types.

Can somebody help me with Paarl? I'm level 45.

Edit: just beat him!

Agro him so he takes a big swing, run in after his swing and hit him. Rinse and repeat.

Back hits when he does smashes. But really, that dude is being placed there to teach you visceral attacks. I'd try to stun him until you get the hang of it. Shoot when his striking animation has already begun and is on the way down.

God damn it this hunter in the cathedral is kicking my ass. Bullets stun me and if I do hurt him he heals.

if you ignore him for too long or anything I hope?

I killed him by sneaking behind. Instead of taking stairs, I landed on house rooftop on his left. Did 3 times.

Just try to stay mobile and pay attention to what he does before he spits it, is what I did.

 

[Audioboxer]

Any tips on leveling? I am level 24 and mostly been concentrating of vitality and endurance so right now am

Vit : 18
End: 18
Strength: 14
Skill: 10
Bloodtinge: 7
Arcane: 7

Mainly using saw cleaver. Just not sure if I should start putting levels into other stats now.

Aim to bump vit to 20 as your next step. Strength a point or two if you want to use strength based scaling. And a few points in End.

Strength weapons use a lot of stamina so vit and end are both really important.
