Does every Chalice Dungeon have three floors?

I like how the way to a certain area is basically the opening of Dracula haha

 

[Incendiary]

Streaming some attempts at Vicar Amelia, PLEASE help me out I have no idea what I'm doing with this fight

Advice is appreciated! FYI I am not using any items for these attempts until I figure out how to actually do some damage to her

Fire paper and hug that ass. Also, if you attack her weak leg enough she'll fall and you can do a visceral attack.

GAF... I found what would make this game perfect by modern standards.

LOL

Ugh god that really gives me anxiety... I hope we'll never get to this point.

 

[Finalow]

chalice dungeons depth = their difficulty?

The thing that is missing is automatic detective vision that showcases outlines of enemies behind nearby walls.

I beat him yesterday without vials. Because I had none lol.

He's actually very easy. Just stay behind him, dodge his backward slash and blood AoE. He seems to have problems with tracking once you're behind him, not nearly as viscious.

Here:

By no metric is that 360 attack "easy" to dodge. It's a OHK. I can dodge it maybe 70% of the time. But he does it all the time when I get behind him. The fight is like sooooo long... I do hardly any damage.

I'll get him eventually, but Idk about "easy".

Does every Chalice Dungeon have three floors?

Last night I asked this same question. A GAFfer who completed 3 different ones confirmed that there are 3 floors. But maybe the super difficult ones have more? I don't know.

 

[spyder_ur]

I killed the

Maybe you're too low. I think I was low 30 here or something (I forgot). That attack hit me once and it did about 60%?

you killed my bro? why

I wanted to be friends but I accidentally hit him when I first met him. He never calmed down and always tried to kill me on sight

Lower depths have more floors.

Later on in game there is one guaranteed that gives 18%

Go to Hunter's dream and back to his spot.

LOL

This is a great image but I do like the idea of less intrusive notifications for max items. Nothing handholdy about that.

 

[Rektash]

Just helped a couple people beat

Spoiler

Vicar Amelia

. The Summoning Bell mechanic is like 10 times better than soapstone summon signs. Just ring that bell, lean back and wait. No repeated sign activation and getting annoyed at "Failed to summon!".

 

[N° 2048]

Go to Hunter's dream and back to his spot.

No no, this will respawn enemies. Just quit the game and reload. You will be there without the enemies respawned and you can the the loot.

 

[def sim]

I just beat the hunter at the end(?) of the crow's quest. Jesus my resources are all gone.

 

[bananafactory]

Hey man, here's what I did:

I stopped trying to find strategy in it. I stopped trying to stay behind her.

I literally just one handed my axe with fire paper and went to town on her legs. If you have enough vials and endurance you should be able to stagger her endlessly. Play it safe and stay in front of her and dodge her shockwave and get in attacks whenever you can.

Go hard on her legs, she staggers easily. Just go to town.

This strategy totally worked haha thanks man!

Thanks everyone else who chimed in with advice and watched.

 

[Primethius]

Good run Bananafactory!

I was worried there for you at the end but you got it.

 

[ThankeeSai]

He, and yes. Won't stop progression, but... wrecks a lot of side quests.

Fuuuuuuuuck.

Wrecks enough that it's worth starting over?

 

[Hugstable]

Great fight! Got worried at the end there too, shoulda just pistoled that last hit off her hahaha.

 

[Figboy79]

I bead the BSB last night. It took me about four tries, which sucked, because the third time I had him down to the last few hits, and I got poisoned and didn't notice, and when I did, I pressed the wrong button (I meant to heal, but instead, I took the antidote, and my last sliver of health disappeared before the antidote took effect).

It wasn't as hard of a battle as I thought it would be. I employed the standard stick and move tactics, baiting him into using attacks that I can easily dodge, then hitting him between 1-3 times before dodging back and starting again.

I noticed that dodging to the left (when facing him, so your left, his right), is a lot easier than dodging to the right. His swing usually goes over you when you roll left, and it leaves him open for a few hits as he recovers.

I initiated the rights to my first Chalice Dungeon, which I'm going to start exploring today. I love this game so much.

 

[brinstar]

holy shit, I went to go kill some crows behind the cathedral for some quick echoes and they've been replaced with this dude with a sack who nearly killed me in one hit

 

[Neiteio]

I like how the way to a certain area is basically the opening of Dracula haha

Hemwick Charnel Lane?

 

[bananafactory]

Ah I totally forgot about the gun -_-

I put it out of my mind since parrying doesn't work. Forgot I could use it to finish her

 

[Beelzebufo]

Spoiler

Hemwick Charnel Lane?

Uhh well sort of I guess haha

 

[aember]

Managed to figure out how to beat the boss and managed to deal the finish blow as a visceral attack. Boss kill of the year 2015.

grand cathedral or the forest to the left of the grand cathedral

I just found it thx!.

 

[Hugstable]

Fuuuuuuuuck.

I don't think so? I never did anything with her sidequest wise so I don't know what happens with her, but here is always NG+! I'm using my first playthrough as basically a blind playthrough without trying to find every little secret or sidequest. Saving that for my NG+ runs.

Ho Ho Ho!

Try letting him kill you and see what happens.

How do I get the Father G armor? I've got 10 insight and beaten him.

 

[Yoshichan]

That's the second time I tried to become friends with Djura but failed. Every single fucking time, I miss something that I should've read aboout before trying it out.

Oh well, there's always NG+++.

 

[Korosenai]

I can't remember where I found or if it was a lucky drop. Wanted to use it on Ludwig's Holy Blade but it won't let me. Not even on Kirkhammer. Only weapon I could use it on that I have on me was my pistol. Decided to just put it on it. The pistol alone takes more than half of the Central Yharnam enemies health away with a single shot.

What level is your bloodtinge at?

 

[Neiteio]

Uhh well sort of I guess haha

It reminds me of the opening to Dracula with the pass through the wilderness to a cliffside castle. But what were you thinking of when you made that comparison?

Welp, hit my first road block. Can't seem to even touch Father's second form. Been at it for about 2 hours now.

You probably haven't gotten there yet

this, NG+ is as important as the first playtrough
