Having zero luck getting summoned for BSB. It's especially annoying that the person I'm trying to help loses Insight each time it doesn't work. I'm not sure why they'd implement that if online isn't working.

Is there a way to restore health outside of teleporting back or the vials? I've ran out of them and I have hardly any health left. I've cleared so many enemies D:

I bet people who are used to these games would have got to the same point in like half an hour haha :'(

You can also attack enemies right after being hit to regain what you've lost.

 

[ThisOne]

What weapon have you been using?

I'm using the cane currently. I've got about 17 skill and only 10 strength. I might buy it when I get 20,000 but you need 16 strength to use it.

It was on the 2nd layer, off the main path in a treasure room.

It's always in Ailing Loran. Ailing Loran is not a randomized dungeon. No need for a code.

About the special ending

Spoiler

On my original playthrough, i didn't get a cord from Ioesfka in the clinic when i killed her, i read that i might have killed her too soon ? Like i needed to wait until i killed Rom before going there ? Also the whore died in my game so no cord from there too. I only ended up with the mandatory one from the wet nurse and the one from the alternate/real hunter's dream. Anyone know a 100% way to get all 3 or 4 before the end of the game so i don't waste my time running through it all again for nothing! Thanks

Spoiler

You have to go to the clinic after Rom, yes. You'll see her bent over on a table and then you just kill her and get a cord. I never did the sidequest with the whore.

Does anyone know a good place for Bloodstone Chunks? I need them.

Can anybody give me suggestion on how to kill raven hunter in cathedral? And Eileen is dead

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Oh by the way I'm a little bit late bringing this one up but anyone notice the big guys early on can do a decoy attack? I don't remember seeing these much in dark souls so is this common or only on those enemies?

You need to get the Tonsil Stone and then get grabbed by Amygdala in the church down and to the left of the Grand Cathedral.

Either works, I've barely used my gun all game, but it is very helpful if you learn to use it.

 

[terrdactycalsrock]

Open your inventory and go to your weapon. See the list to the right? Look for "Attribute bonus". From left to right: strength, skill, bloodtinge and arcane.

The higher the letter (from E to A or S) the better. Level the stat that is the highest.

gotcha thanks

Could anyone help me with VA? My beckoning bell is grayed out too, I've never used it. Do I need something else?

Fighting the

Spoiler

There's a path to the left after coming out of the chapel that leads to a new area and by examining the skull after the fight you learn the password to get through the door the cathedral ward.

To get your first chalice you need to beat the blood-starved Beast, and then you set it on one of the tombstones in the Hunters Dream for 1000 echoes. You get items, weapons, and I believe armor as well. There is no risk since the areas are small and the lamps are plentiful.

early farming spot for blood vials is the way left from central yharnam lamp to father g.
brick guys give you 2 vials almost every time. then the brick guy at the burning ball amd the two enemies looking at a body close to father g. run can net you 10 blood vials.At least 4.brick guys are super easy to parry. shoot them when they raise the brick and hit r1 immediately for insta kill.

That seems oddly specific

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Need to make sure you opened all of the gates in the area. Go down by the courtyard instead of going up the steps and make the gate back there is open.

Its great dodging I do it most but on some enemies I parry its just all about timing

 

[Raegal]

Oh, maybe the game haven't introduced it to me yet, but how do I parry?

I know how to evade and use my gun.

It's just based on timing the gun during enemy attacks, try practicing on larger, slower enemies to get a feel for it.

Inside after you kill boss. Its really not that far though because if you unlocked the shortcut then its a quick run back to the smaller cathedral.

The answer to both of your questions is the same. You need to go to the house on the top on the hill in the Hunters Dream.

 

[gunbo13]

It shakes its head a bit before that one-shot attack. Generally it always does it once it jumps away from you when it's weak.

Using my cane + straight up setup, I didn't have much luxury to watch his visible cues. I learned most of his stuff by his pauses and the audio. I had to use the

Spoiler

pillars

to gain some protection. However, the

Spoiler

one-shot

is just overdone even if there is a visible cue. If they toned it back just 10-15%, it would have made a huge balance difference. One attack should not have more then a 200% increase over the rest of the arsenal, especially if it is a

Spoiler

one-shot

for those with expected vitality at that point in the game.

It could have been done better is all.

Oh I didn't know parrying were simply using the gun. I thought it would only be useful to stun enemies. So while they attack me, I can use it to parry their attacks? Interesting.
