those red spikes frenzy generator are annoying as fuck... i dont even know what triggers them wtf.

Yeah I can't find her. Switching to offline for now.

these "invaders" are AI btw.
not real ppl.

Yea, do offline if it's a tough area for you. Not worth the hassle.

Just wait for the boss.

Spoiler

Mergo's Loft: Base lantern. Take the elevator up, then take the 2nd elevator and jump through the opening when it comes up. There's an entire area for you to explore there but it's a bit difficult. I don't want to spoil any of the fun so if you don't find the rock after exploring this area I'll explain more. There's also another area you get to with a key where the boss fight was on the left side when first entering the misty area.

You mean the Iron Key? Yeah, I was wondering what is up with that.

 

[Ferrio]

I hope a patch makes it so you can buy Bloodstone Chunks like how they patched in the ability to buy Twinkling Titanite in Dark Souls. So tedious trying to get them to drop.

Never forget

They are real people. I know, I was one of them!

Do you hate

the old hag that much?

I accidentally attacked her, then heard her out and decided to finish her off. I didn't trust the look of her to be honest. Has it cost me much for sidequests?

 

[cpp_is_king]

Is there any advantage to making your own chalice dungeon as opposed to just exploring someone else's?

 

[Vire]

Finally opened the main shortcut in

Spoiler

Upper Cathedral

. This might be one of the most legit tense and scary parts of the game. The forboding atmosphere and tough enemies definitely were effective. I'm surprised it's an optional area.

Oh man.. Fuck those insight squid draining motherfuckers there. Legit hardest mob in the game.

Look up at the building, you should notice they only happen when it's glowing, something inside might be causing it ;p You can hide behind rocks to avoid it.

 

[MegaSackman]

Just beat him! Had 2 vials left and no bullets. Used the long Axe and just chipped away at him while dodging constantly. Only got a few parries in too.

Goddammit, I killed him.

ok i got lucky then
what about these fucking spikes tho ? what triggers them ? i dont get where they are coming from and why i get frenzied...

You can let him transform his Katana which drains his life, if you can get him to transform you can leash him and he'll slowly wander back to his spot, bleeding out, then just stand there and die.

It's cheap, but if you can't beat him normally.

Just finished New Game, NG+1 is disappointing so far, enemies just have more health and damage, can't see any changes in placement or type..The extra souls are nice but items are the same..What the fuck am I going to do with Coldblood (1) for 400souls? Cleric Beast had stupidly high HP but was still easier than fighting him low level on New Game. Heard there are no new items at all in NG+ and I'm better off just clearing Chalices.

Hmm thanks but I don't want to cheese that npc, he deserves to get rekt.

Please no.

 

[FaintColt388301]

Great, thanks.
Just need to farm echos first, my axe is starting to become weak, and I don't want to upgrade it anymore since it's already +3. Will get the Sword and then I'll upgrade it the max I can

Thats actually a pretty good area to farm imo. I circled around and had 20,000 by the end. There are some bigger enemies that you can visceral attack and get a lot of blood echoes from.

 

[AngryMoth]

I assume that hitting that thing in the

will initiate a boss fight. Is it worth it to do so?

It is if you like cool boss fights

 

[AllenShrz]

This game keeps me with the mouth open.

So fucking gooooooood.

I think I like it now better than DS.

 

[Hugstable]

Where am I supposed to get that material to upgrade my weapon to +10? Can't seem to gdt anything besides chunks now.

 

[Sami+]

So I'm kinda curious, but don't wanna risk finding out myself because she's cool and I'd feel bad and I also don't wanna fuck my game but

I also think the 'fake out' right before hand is brilliant. A weird ass alien mob with the perfect music to match, it's crazy to think that not only was this area optional but there is going to be a chunk of players who got here and never bust the window to see the rest.

Where am I supposed to get that material to upgrade my weapon to +10? Can't seem to gdt anything besides chunks now.

There's only one in the entire game(though apparently a chalice dungeon has another?).

Spoiler

(Wet Nurse)

, she does way more abilities - going to assume it's because of my insight.

Spoiler

On my first kill of her, all I did was stay behind and she keep doing that moving forward slash ability, and that was pretty much it besides some teleporting and flying/charging.

Second kill, she did 360 twirls, way more spinning around, barely did the forward slash ability, had a purple phase where two of them appeared. Was a much much more interesting fight.

Arianna question:

Spoiler

According to Destructoid, there are at least four "one-third of an umbilical cord" items, and you only need three for the true ending. I'm trying to get the Arianna one at the moment. I haven't met her yet, though. I think she's in one of the houses in what appears to be the cathedral ward's red light district, but all of the windows say "no response" now. This is after beating Rom.

Any thoughts?

There's a

small alley with 2 lights on opposite sides of the street, she's in the building at the end of the alley..if that's "no response" then you might be late.

 

[jaaz]

Damn, Unseen Village is hard as hell. Difficulty just took a huge jump in this game. I mean come on, three

Spoiler

hunters at the same time, one with a cane, one with a spear rifle and one with a cannon? Trying to find a place to fight them separately.

 

[Kinsei]

You can reach them. There are staircases at the NW and NE.

Well that makes things a whole lot easier. Since I was able to get the boss down to less than a quarter of its life without any blood vials while I was being shot to death, I imagine that will make the boss doable without the need to farm (I have no vials left).

Spoiler

That boss is mandatory, so unless you have any optional areas discovered you're going to be doing this next. You can run to the back and to the right to find a staircase! It's a pretty easy boss when those enemies are dead and you stay mobile

I'm not sure if I have any optional areas left or not. is it possible to reach Cainhurst Castle at this point?

 

[Ferrio]

So is ludwig's and axe hands down the best weapons in the game? I'm not even using them anymore, but I can' help but think it'd be a lot easier if I was.

If there is a "no response" after you beat that boss,that means you missed it.NG+ it is then.

I'm not entirely sure if you screwed yourself out of it, but she was at the very end house near the dead end for me if I'm remembering correctly. I did this before Rom though.

In any case, she is not needed for the three cords. One is gotten through normal progression, one can be gotten through a hidden area pickup and the last can be gotten through the clinic at the very end of the game.

So don't worry too much.

I did it directly after I got the first one from the story progression and it worked.

I don't remember, do I need to kill the shadow-woods boss in order to get to Byrgenwerth? If not, what's the path.
