Think you have to beat 3 bosses to finish the first dungeon. Should be a lift going down after you beat the first boss.

Depends on the weapon you are mainly using. I believe 25 (?) is the soft cap for Strength, Skill, Bloodtinge and Arcane. And the soft cap for Vitality and Endurance is 30 (?). Since I am using the Holy Sword, it scales with strength and skill. I started leveling up skill once I hit the soft cap for strength. Some weapons such as the Blade Of Mercy only scale with Skill.
edit Mistype again :lol my Arcane is 7 not 17
The "Soft Cap" thing is super misleading.
Yes, you get less of an increase per point past 25/30 for those stats, but it's only SLIGHTLY less. It's not really a "soft cap" and people *really* misused that word. You do *NOT* want to stop raising your stats at that low of a level. The real Soft Cap is at 50. Post 50 stat increases massively drop off, but you still get increases so it's not a "Hard Cap". The Hard Cap is 99, where stats max out.
Except for Endurance which completely stops giving Stamina post 40, though it still gives Defensive increases past that.

Has anyone been able to get summoning/co-op to work? I'm standing right outside the fog gate for the first boss in Old Yharnam and I range the Beckoning Bell but nothing is happening. I've been standing here for 10-20 minutes. I see the bell symbol below my health bar and a wave effect on my character, so I assume it's looking?

Cane makes a few boss encounters super easy. They both have their uses and I refuse to believe there is a single "best weapon" for everyone.
The length of this game really is disappointing considering how amazing most of everything else is. I never wanted it to end EVER! At least with DS1 + 2 i sank about 50+ hours before I hit the credits.
Also I've heard NG+ is a bummer as well :/
Well, at least I still have the 2 other endings to try and get.

Yeah, beat the 3rd.
Before the boss room I could go right, but seems to be a dead and.
How do I make the second dungeon?

No clue if I'm being honest. I'd imagine it's blunt in GS mode. You really don't have to worry about it at all, in Demon's Souls it was a bigger deal to know what type of damage you were doing since certain enemies had ridiculous resistances to some, but it this game there aren't any enemies like that.
Dude, who are you. You're like a walking BB wiki

Is there any merit/demerit at having a high/low Insight?
Because lore-wise, the game seems to basically hint that Insight is what blurs the lines between reality/dream/all the crazy stuff, which is why I think the doll only comes to life after you got 1 Insight.
So from a lore perspective, I'm thinking "more Insight the better", yet at the same time, it's a resource for stuff.
Is it okay to just spend Insights frugally?

Yes. The game allows you to roll after you've been knocked down. Don't spam it, just wait until you're about to be attacked and dodge through the attack as you normally would.

How do I get this in Old Yharnam?
around to your left there'll be an area you can drop down to. You'll find an entrance into a building from there. Roll over every breakable item whilst you're in there, as swordspear or whatever it's called is hidden in a pot or other breakable item.

Neat, I have to do a terrible platforming section and then fight enemies before I can get to a lantern >_>
I just played a lot of BB, can't sleep, and have a good memory for video game stuff (usually).

What weapon are you using. That SKL is very low if you're using a SKL scaling weapon. STR is a little better, I'd focus entirely on one or the other at this point.

I'm level 45 and just beat A
after cleaning up R
in a single attempt last night :3
Not sure if i'm under-leveled or not for the section after R
.
really wish there some sort of indicator showing what the average level of the players in each area was, would make this backwards coop implementation a lot more manageable.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Okay guys, I haven't bought the 10k key yet... how exactly do I get to Amelias cathedral without it?
edit: oh shit, I'll have to go through Old Yharnamn right? fuck.

Cheesing the cathedral hunter feels wonderful. Not even mad.
I'm getting my ass kicked so hard by the ORneeborn
Hardest boss in the game so far to me.
Take out the Bell maidens upstairs first if you haven't already
Nothing there yet. I have yet to encounter her at the ward, where she will supposedly speak about
her mark, the hunter of hunters
I found the length to be fine, took me around forty hours for my first playthrough, didnt touch Chalice dungeons, didnt bother with Nightmare Frontier and I know I missed a few bosses as well.
The higher your insight the more you "see" but it does make the game tougher (
fuck it giving those priest the homing lantern magic

If you have beaten the third boss then yes the dungeon is finished, you should of got another chalice as your prize. Root I think?
That area is so much more difficult than any area before because of the respawn. You basically Need to run through everything, kill that woman with the bell (or find her in the first few tries) and then deal with everything you have pulled.

Go right out the door in cathedral ward (up to the tower), drop down around the right side, go through and take the elevator up.
It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure that's how you do it.

Fam, i ignored the mobs and directly attacked the boss. Don't lock on, get some hits, roll the fuck away. Use bolt paper for even more damage and always attack his side, never head on. If he summons the meteors, roll diagonally left to right or right to left. I didn't get hit once by them but he didn't last long enough to get off more than 4 barrages. Try to time the first roll as he puts his head down. If he summons the ground shit, just roll away as it's just the area around him.

BSB isn't down yet, so the doors are still closed.
One of the nearby gates can be unlocked with the emblem that you can buy in HD for 10k echoes, my summoning bells started working after I opened that gate. No idea if it's a bug or what, but give that a try.
