Kinda obnoxious.
Dont get me wrong, I mostly love the non hand holding, but if I hadnt asked who knows how long it woulda taken me to figure out where to go.
This, I didn't have any trouble with the basic enemies but the Hunter wrecked me, I just ran away from it all the time. I had to do some grinding at around the point you are to be honest.
I notice I play this game a lot differently than the others. I find that I don't worry about souls at all.
Also, I wish I was better at the perry and open-close gameplay mechanism. If I was better I'd think I could play more offensively. Like in the old games I still play defensively, and unless I've memorized the attack pattern wait for them to make a move.

2 options: you looked around and found that route.
Or you were there before and then remembered that there was a door you could through and you go back there some time later, to look if it is open now.
Rolling into the next dimension.
if anyone wants to see a video of the new covenant interactions, allow me to shamefully plug this

Did you check back at the
Vicar boss room since you've beaten Rom? She doesn't show up there until after you beat Rom. Though it seems you've already killed her.

Well with
the cathedral there is more than one way to open up the path to the church so I'm ok with it one of the path's being more obscure to find. I agree with you on the central graveyard though

Actually thats what happened after BSB. Stuck for a little but remembered the door in cathedral ward.
I dont recall any door in the graveyard, musta not noticed it.

46 is probably about right for there.
The bug dudes are pretty simple depending on the weapon

I feel the exact same way, something seems a bit off with the world design. I am also feeling a lack of wow moments from random giant creatures. I don't feel this game has a dragon on a bridge moment, or anything like the hydra at the giant lake.
Combat is much improved but I kind of feel like most other elements are a step back.

(early game spoiler) how did all of you take down
?
i'm using a kirkhammer, it's my weapon of choice that i want to use. but i've been seeing a lot of people taking him out using hunter axe and it seems good for the long range, but i need to use kirkhammer, i can't give up on it. this guy has been the bane of my yarnam existence for the last 5 days. i get so close but at the end
he just pummels me bad and i can't even strafe my way clear. i feel like when i'd play street fighter against a really good player, i can't get out of his huge chain of combos. i've tried using
but that gets me in more trouble than not using it. i've definitely psyched myself out with him by this point, he's my ivan drago and he has been breaking me. i know it's just going to come down to a lucky match sooner or later but in the mean time i hate him so much.

on his last beast form

Exactly, it just feels static to me. Even the changing world conditions feel hallow as nothing changes outside of NPC dialogue becoming more unnerved.
Agreed.
The tone and atmosphere of the game go from gothic to straight up silent hill creepy. Its way awesome.
use the gun bennett
Probably has more "horror" elements than 90% of actual horror games these days..
Yeah, it's like an action horror game, such a unique atmosphere and tone.
Have you tried
taking the fight upstairs when he goes into beast form
parry and visceral
Parry. It'll kill him in like 4/5 of those.
Learn his attacks, shoot him in the face before he lands a hit. He'll get staggered, then dash in and press R1 to get off a visceral attack for huge damage. Even
his final beast form
don't let the enemy hit you with their weapon and instead hit them with yours
At first the game is Bram Stoker/Universal Monsters. Then it's eases into Lovecraft. Then it delivers on Lovecraft with
Clive Barker / David Cronenberg-esque body horror explicitness.
Fucking amazing.

Kirkhammers a bad weapon man. Just parry him, it helps if you did cane.

second boss spoilers
using the music box makes him turn into the beast so much quicker
the way i brought him down was by using my gun and waiting till he's about to attack then stunning him and following up with a reposte by pressing r1 when your right infront of him when hes on his knees https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubKOYqe6thU thats how i did it

So guys, having beaten VA, where should I go next from here?
Is it okay to jump straight into Un
or will I get wrecked there?

Is it really considered that bad? I fortified mine up to +5 and put points into STR, seems to be working well for me. Although, I admit the Ludwig Holy Sword seems to be doing more base dmg
Church set not needed and neither is Paarl kill to talk to him (even if you have aggroed him previously).
What you need to do is approach him from the Paarl side of the map (from where you killed BSB) so that he doesn't see you enter, climb up to him and have a chat and get the badge and gesture if you agree not to hunt beasts. That is exactly what I did even after he tried to kill me previously.

The final area is simply one of the most unnerving experiences I have ever had in gaming.
I tried like 10 times to kill it, so no worries. In my experience
don't use the music box
trigger the transformation earlier
if you really want to use the kirkhammer, hit and run, hit and run
he transforms, I would really suggest you to try a faster weapon and don't be too afraid to hit. Hit him hard and dash when he's about to hit you. Also, use your guns. It's not difficult to land him a counter + visceral attack once he has low medium/low health. and finally, use a lot of molotov cocktails if necessary

Killed
Went inside, inspected the
Weird, you get to this place with the story ? I went to
Killed everything there. Talk to
It gave me a good rune. Now what ? The two donjons you can access from the
are optional, right ?
Talk to her and
Old One Reborn.
throne. Got teleported to Lecture Room lv2.
level 1 through the giant creature grabbing me when I had 40 insight.
and let live the human headed spider.
Lecture Room
Talk to her and
sent her to Iosefka's clinic
idk the exact strat but I would suggest poison knives with a side of oli/molotov

- it's ok to be confused about several aspects early on
- pay attention to notes on the ground
- play with your weapon - what it does after a backstep, while running etc
- walk a lot. traps/ambushes errywhere
- learn to pull guys by pinging them with pebbles
- take every fight seriously
- turn on auto lock-on next enemy in the menu; learn when to use lock-on and when not to as your dodge and the camera behaviour changes
- the gun is a parry that causes a stun if you fire it as the enemy attacks; when stunned run right up to them and swing
- Personal Effects menu is for seldom-used stuff; map quick use stuff to the Options menu lower tiles for fast access
- don't forget to keep an eye on your Stamina bar while fighting
- prepare to die
Not to mention that a lot of the options are very samey, and the better looking stuff is in late game. I don't like doing NG+ I like making new characters, so weapons and armor only being available after you're nearly done is a major buzzkill.

Learn parries. Parry him right before he's at a 1/3 of health, which will make the second half bearable. He'll transform after that. While he's transforming throw an oil urn on him and then a molotov, should take off a lot of health. After that just hit him once or twice and he should be dead.
they are 100% not optional

Lack of covenants is crazy too, at this point in DS I had multiple avenues encouraging online play, this game just leaves it there.
In terms of level design you only need to look at the first area of DS1 compared to BB. In DS there was a a path to the left, right and center. To the left allowed you to try to enter an area from much later in the game, no gates, no locks, it's open of you dare. Then you can go to the center and you find this giant bird and you hear noises from under the fountain, instant mystery. Finally you have your main path up a hill to a bridge with a dragon.
In BB you go down set streets and paths, the only branching paths lead to optional areas in the same location. No way to access a new area until you progress in a linear fashion. The whole game is like that. Yes there are the occasional branching paths with two choices, one usually optional but the game does not feel totally connected like DS at all.
