Ugh! I'm stuck, GAF? Have no idea where to go after defeating BSB. Did I miss any hidden path?

cathedral ward is where the cool kids play after BSB.

 

[usp84]

how do you open the first gate to the right after you exit the clinic at the beginning?

 

[Xeilyn]

Man the covenants(if you can call em that) are really disappointing... Sigh

 

[Lionheart1827]

I did the same thing, lol. Looked like a clear secret but you fall right through the floor.

Actually, there IS a secret path half way up/down the elevator. You can walk right into a secret entrance while the elevator is moving. Just noticed this

 

[XxRampage07xX]

That's a side boss. Doesn't open up a path. Use the lamp.

So which lamp should I respawn at? I try to find new paths in Cathedral Ward but all the doors are locked

so we had to backtrack all the way back. I died on the way, whoops, but when I respawned, I spawned inside of her room. What's strange is that the fog door was up and I couldn't leave. I decided to smack her to try and have her kill me so I could leave but she never reacted. I ended up killing her without her even moving other than flinching/stuns. To say that was a let down is an understatement.

[Raw64life]

Damnit, BS death. Word of warning for people who want to try this. From the Cathedral Ward lamp, when you eventually open up the door on the right, if the elevator isn't there, dont jump down in the hole. It looks like there is a normal floor under it, but you will just fall through it and die. I used my camera to look around and I could swear I saw a secret doorway under there with a full floor to land on.

I did the same thing when I saw that.

 

[Yoshichan]

Alright, Cleric Beast and Father G dead.

Time to take a break. Actually, what I'm gonna do on my break is start summarizing my thoughts of this game.

 

[Kyoufu]

last I saw her,

outside the safe haven church hanging out by the fence, saying to stay away from the tomb cause she has a mark there

So I take it you can warp to the tomb? If so, then it hasn't triggered yet. So check the tomb after every boss you kill.

Nice buff, great armour and weapon.

The way I did it:

once he falls, quit the game to main menu and continue again. You will see the item appear at the fall spot once you load the game.

Yeah, that's the way to go.

Wish you could still push/kick like Souls games to make it even easier to pull the "THIS IS SPARTA" on his ass.

 

[Orthogonal]

The first time I found Eileen the Hunter I thought she was an enemy and I attacked her and then she killed me. Now every time I go near her she attacks me. Is there any way for me to get her to talk to me anymore? I wanted to try out her quest line.

Not for this playthrough. NPC aggro is unforgiving in Souls games. It really sucks, but is something we have to live with. It will reset in a NG+.

[Mifune]

Okay, I seriously have no idea where to go. The last major thing is did was beat BSB. I went to the right of the cathedral and got the items, but both the top and bottom of the tower leas to dead ends. The forward exit of the cathedral leads me to a locked gate. The only place I think I can go is either the 10k gate (which I heard there was another way into), or the gate near the 10k gate that holds the giant monster. I've gone that way before and also reached a locked door.

Any help, please?

A new path has opened up

I saw a video of this happening with a later boss too. Pretty weird, hope they fix some of this stuff quickly.

My bad, I posted the wrong code. Try this Chalice Dungeon code for Blood Rock:

Thanks. It says I don't meet the requirements. I take it I don't have the Hintertomb or Loran chalices needed?

Does Chikage damage the user, as well? It's profile says it dwindles away @ the player's essence...I thought it meant it slowly drains health and didn't want to spend the 50,000 echoes were that the case

 

[Hugstable]

Spoiler

Yeah you can get the scythe, what you do is there is 3 umbilical cords in the game, one from killing a story boss, one when you return to where to start the game in the clinic and one in the abandoned workshop.
Before you talk to Gehrman to end the game you eat all 3 of them, then refuse Gehrman, fight him and then the secret boss.

Spoiler

whaaaa? I didn't find anything in the clinic when I went back there, then again I haven't saved any npc either. Also I feel down Healing Church Workshop and I didn't find anything there either. I'm guessing I'm screwed outta the true ending cause I didn't do npc sidequest?

I did as much as I could in NG and NG+.

I killed all the bosses in NG++.

For this run (NG+++), I'm going to clear the trophies. But I'm gonna take a break now.

Didn't you only start playing like 3-4 days ago?

Yeah, I restarted my character the 25th so that's when I started playing. I also went to college and finished the finals from 25th to 27th

3-4 days, yup.

You can probably still do it.

Spoiler

When you fall down the healing church workshop, there's a door midway down(it's a harder path to fall down), you need to head in there for it.

In the clinic there(should be) someone upstairs on a table to kill. She was there for me and I didn't do anything with the clinic all game beforehand.

You need to open the gates. Go down the stairs and pull the lever to open the big gate and also make sure you've used the 10k key to open that initial gate near giant.

 

[Yoshichan]

Huh, I'm surprised you don't have all the weapons yet.

I'm surprised by this as well, considering I've looked/spoken to everyone and everything two playthroughs in a row. I'll be looking at a guide for the remaining weapons that I have left. I bet it's a weapon that requires something to do with a covenant never really bothered with the covenants.

Can you give me the codes for your dungeons that gave you access to the second and third areas? I have done three Hintertomb dungeons but no chalice for the third area.

Nice buff, great armour and weapon.

It has the worst buff of all the covenant runes. -_-

 

[FiveMinuteHero]

Yeah i dunno, I think it requires a commitment to the game to really be able to progress decently. One of the big things that would effect you the most though is that there is no pause button so in the event you need to go handle the kids during a boss fight or something, well, you're gonna leave your character to die.

In theory, I could use the PS4's rest mode but if my son decides to have a go at FIFA while in between....
