Do you have to do the defiled version of chalice dungeons?

Yes if you want to platinum the game, and get to experience a pretty good boss fight.
And man, the lore behind the last boss is amazing.

PS:
From really hates baby. Everything that is evil in this game is because of babies...and period blood >.>

That is what I got out of the BB's lore after fighting this boss.
 
Well it's
evil cthulhu demon god
babies to be fair
 
Once you applied elemental effects on your weapons, I think they all scale using Arcane instead, so if your Arcane sucks, well they're gonna be suck too. I think.

Ok, see I didnt know that because "arcane" is a different stat than fire/bolt. If thats true i guess its something I can focus on in NG+ because no one will focus on arcane in the main game because nothing scales with it early on, right?
 
I find it amusing people give up around 5 or 6 tries against some bosses/areas. As someone who beat every Souls game more than once, I'm sitting at around 20 tries on V
icar
A
melia
. I'm pretty terrible at Souls games but I always manage somehow. Still wondering how I killed 2nd and 3rd boss easier than this.

Spent about 1:30 on her so far.
 
Ok so I have a few fire/bolt "bloodgems", but I have no idea how to make them work because they don't scale for FUCK with STR or SKILL. Whats the point of them? Like I made my Luciens sword FIRE but it was garbage compred to my Kirkhammer that was all STR. How do we get Fire weps to be good?

Put points into Arcane.


How do I equip a rune?

You need a workshop tool to be able to equip runes. It's found right after defeating the W
itches of Hemwick Charnel Lane

I see her being a wall for a bunch of people. I found her easier than BSB lol.

She was second hardest for me after blood starved beast
Been relatively smooth sailing ever since I beat her
 
Finished the game at roughly 48 hours. Level 82. Missed a lot of optional stuff for sure.

Worst thing about this game so far: When you beat the final boss, you immediately begin New Game Plus. I had gone through the entirety (I think) of the Nightmare Frontier and had the shortcuts open to the boss. But decided not to do the boss and instead went and fought the final boss. I didn't think I'd lose access after winning. Now I get to play the game again just to do get to the parts I didn't see. Dark Souls II handled this better by letting you start NG+ yourself when you were ready.

Great game though. A lot more memorable than DS2, but none of the bosses that I fought were quite as interesting as the best bosses from DS1.
 
GAF I need help deciding something key.

What should be my secondary weapon?

Stake Driver, Logarius' Wheel, or Rifle Spear? Primary is Ludwig's, what say you GAF? Out of those three which ends up being the most useful/powerful in either PvP or main game?
 
I am feeling physically ill by the prospect of fighting Blood Starved Beast again T___T

Especially after I ran out of Fire Paper.................................

And I am level 30-ish too, should be enough, I think, but I just............ hate everything about this fight... especially the poison and how he can pretty much decimate me even from full health once he grabbed me due to that poison BS......................... URGH.

I'm uploading a youtube vid that should help a lot.

Unless he doesn't do the same thing for you, at which point I think my game is just f*cked. This is what most boss fights are for me now.
 
is the forest area to the left of the amelia door the forbidden forrest everyone is talking about?

BTW - is there a list anywhere of the "right way" to proceed? i.e order in which to tackle areas?
 
Also for c
ainhurst
c
astle
: am I supposed to be having this much trouble against those
spider women blood-sac enemies
after killing the
Reborn One
in the
Unseen Village
?

I figured I was nearing the end of the game considering how final everything feels at this point. Not to say I'm expecting to be OP, but damn.
 
Getting pissed. Don't know why I can't beat
Shadow of Yharnam
it's starting to really irritate me.

I find that you can zip around and kill the ranged dude pretty easily without getting hit. Just keep circle dodging into him, swipe once and get out.

Then make sure you get the other two dudes low, but don't kill one and leave the other at full health. You want them both super low so you can finish them off one after the other - otherwise you have to deal with very annoying and hard to dodge aoe stuff as the last man standing gets a pretty insane buff and new attack.
 
That visceral feeling of big weapon hits the game nails perfectly?

That's the reason I used shields in the ails games. They nailed THOSE perfectly. Also, I'm not good enough (or you know, I'm lazy, because I had to adjust here and I did fine and am about to finish it). But yeah, there is a element of actually enjoying those big hits on a shield in the souls games for a lot of us, it's not just that we are big pussies :p

That was completely off topic I know and random I know lol

the door that requires a password

Yep, roll or run in different directions. If you run in the same direction it will guess your pattern so be very random when you dodge or run. (ie: Left/right left/right or serpentine pattern or something)

Immediately beat him after this post. Maybe there is something to this "complain on GAF for victory" thing. :P
 
Last boss spoiler questions.

How the hell am I supposed to beat this guy? I'm at 70 insight so that might play a part in it - will it be a lot easier if I drop it down a bit?

I had to run past every fucking enemy in
cainhurst castle
and still beat the boss with relative ease (with a partner)
Especially fuck fighting those guys u are having trouble with though
 
That lists the optional castle as midway through the game, I wonder if I'll destroy it now at my lvl

I can tell you one thing, it's no joke on NG+. Enemies still hit SUPER hard. Very easy to be overwhelmed. I died a few times to trash mobs because I didn't expect to be dealing with so many at once and accidentally leashed aggro once or twice.

Good to know :)
 
BB spoilers after 5th boss

Anyone know where I'm supposed to go after beating the Witches and Amelia? The path to the right of the church is locked. Or did I just miss something?
 
Im kinda surprised the first npc summon is actually a boss, or at least I just realized it. Has that happened before? Also thread is moving pretty fast as usual, but is the Cleric Beast actually
Ludwig
transformed?

The path to the right will be open later on in the game.

Go to where you find these two giants in this circular graveyard. There's a door you need to go through.

Parry. Parry. Parry. Visceral attacks do a tonne of damage on him.

And then backstep dodge twice his following melee moves and R1 attack once immediately he gets his "below a certain threshold of hp" buff and can't be parried anymore.

The backstep and R1 attack is actually super useful against a lot of enemies - it lets you dodge their initial salvo and then re-position yourself immediately (and in correct range) for a quick swipe.

if you watched the ritual cutscene after Amelia you can enter forbidden woods. Go down the stairs from the circular area with the 2 big axe dudes and explore, you should find it

forest.
through go all the way down the stairs from Vic lamp, open the bottom gate if you haven't. Cross the field with two axe giants and go to the opening/door on the right from where you entered. then go left and keep going down stairs

there's shit to explore once you get past
the gate
so don't just rush down there if you want to see all the game has to offer.
