You can run and hide behind walls. If you fight other enemies, don't do it in the gunner's line of sight.

okay, so I make that drop down right down there where I'll lose a little HP, and continue dipping and dodging?

Duck out and in, let him aggro and waste his bullets, then go stab him in his stupid face when he's reloading.

I just fought a boss in the chalice dungeon

Spoiler

(bloodletting beast)

Can someone who's beat the game confirm if that's a boss in the main world?

This my last chalice until I beat the game don't want to spoil more for myself

It's not. But you should probably stop doing chalices, because it does use bosses in the game.

There are bosses exclusive to the Chalice Dungeon. More than 10. That one is Chalice-only.

Are you referring to the part where you first get shot at? Keep going indoors, that's a safer path.

 

[Mechanized]

Dash towards him, the i-frames get you through it.

And yeah I swapped to a set just for resistance and the damage I took was still fucking crazy.

Oh god thank you so much. I always under-estimate how useful the dash can be in the right situations. I've been playing the game like Souls of the past, probably spam dodging made some bosses harder than they should have been.

Yeah,

I think Giant Cthulu Spiders hanging on the walls of everything would drive anyone batshit crazy and make them talk like nutters.

I doubt they can see them, those guys don't seem very insightful.

Yes, finally beat the game! What an amazing game, and that ending tho.

No, it's meant to be a one-hit kill at that point in the game.

Well that's poopy.

Just gotta be quick on your feet and run for cover. Good luck

Did you read my reply to your post about that area?

Yes I read it thanks. I think I have too much insight. And I don't have that thing from the forest to help.

No problem. I got infuriated by that move since the boss is easy as hell otherwise, lol.

Oh that guy. Derp me. Yeah, just use cover and run while's reloading. Same difference! Then stab him in the face later.

'arghul Chapel: WHERE IS THE THIRD FUCKING BELL MAIDEN

She is hiding

just below the ledge where the shotgun dude and 2 dogs are, in the main little area where the 3 enemies are. Shes hiding right in the corner. Very hard to miss when you are just running through.

No.
Brand new boss for chalice only.
The 3rd phase scared the shit out of me with his head >.<

i still haven't played any Chalice. is it really hard? i wonder if i'm overleveled for the first two layers now lol

Is this thread really 2000 posts away from OT3?

Technically OT 5.

 

[super-famicom]

i still haven't played any Chalice. is it really hard? i wonder if i'm overleveled for the first two layers now lol

I did the first one, Pthumeru. Didn't find it very difficult (was in the mid 40s). I found the bosses to be pretty easy, though.

 

[fedexpeon]

You can't overlevel Defiled chalice.
Boss will 1-3 shot you since your HP is cut in 1/2.
Until you get to that point, everything in the game is a joke.

 

[Bunta]

I wish I knew why I didn't meet the requirements for certain chalice dungeons when trying to put in the codes.

 

[Aces&Eights]

so in the uh, Old Yharnam, when I run down the stairs, immediately I'm sprayed at with a minigun

wtf do I do? where do I go? SOS!

Spoiler

You have to go TO THE MINIGUN. Use cover and go SLOW. Once you get to the tower he is on, climb up. Do NOT hesitate at the top and shoot him immediately. Rush him and he will fall off the tower with his loot. Quit game. Reload game and continue and his loot will be there on tower

 

[Necromanti]

Oh, great. I permanently glitched my game. I accidentally closed the gate straight down from the Grand Cathedral (that leads to the circular area with two big enemies) right as I was being summoned, and then didn't manage to re-open it in time. Now it lets me pull the lever once, but it stays closed and nothing happens. It looks like the gate's not closed entirely, either.

Heh so I've been hindered by trying to stay within level range of my friend whose new to the series. Idk why but it took me nearly 35 tries to beat V

were absurdly easy in comparison. Beat both in one go solo after previewing the boss by getting summoned and helping others once. Guess getting Ludwig to +6 helps a bit in comparison to yesterday where it was +3 and 4

But because I tried to stay within level range of my friend I couldn't level too much yesterday and today. I ended up buying a shit ton of vials, molataves and every weapon I could find lol.

Also thank you so much Aeana for posting that twin shard farming video <3

 

[super-famicom]

I wish I knew why I didn't meet the requirements for certain chalice dungeons when trying to put in the codes.

Don't you need to have the same type of root chalice for the codes to work? I'm not too certain of this, either.

 

[Golgo 13]

so in the uh, Old Yharnam, when I run down the stairs, immediately I'm sprayed at with a minigun

I just ended up running past all the enemies in the line of gunfire, until I got to safety. It's too difficult to limit your mobility based on cover -- you're bound to pop out and be mowed down almost instantly.

How do the Caryll Runes work? I have a few, but I'm not sure if they are a one time use, or if you can just swap in and out as you please.

Anyone wanna help me out?

 

[super-famicom]

You can swap them in and out once you have the proper workshop tool. They're like rings in Souls games.

Damn, NG+ is brutal. Only beat Father G, but I'm trying just to do main bosses.

 

[Astral]

Yep. Another run with another character and Amelia is still the hardest boss for me. She just goes apeshit.

 

[Uthred]

It doesn't work that way.
Arcane stats with elemental rune will screw the damage scaling since it will remove all physical scaling form STR/SKL. And each arcane point increases its damage by 2 at S scaling lol...
It is actually a STR/SKL weapon, From is trolling people.

This seems wrong, at B scaling each point of Arcane is giving me +4 to damage. The real problem with an arcane build is that you get a lot more potent +physical atk% blood gems in the normal game than you do +elemental damage gems. You can farm chalice dungeons to get higher tier elemental damage gems, an arcane build is more than viable, it just takes extra work.

What to do with the Red Jeweled Brooch?

Can anyone explain how coop works in the chalice dungeon? Do both people need the dungeon to summon? I created the first chalice dungeon and have gone to the boss but haven't beaten him yet. I tried to send my code to a friend and invite him but he got an error saying he does not meet the requirements. He has yet to beat the cathedral boss yet if that makes a difference. Can anyone tell me why it's not working or how can I summon him?
