How can I reach Lecture building from Grand Cathedral?

its definitely confirmed that certain enemies dont even appear based on insight, and frenzy damage scales directly with insight
You don't get there through the Cathedral. You need
a special stone you get from NPC's later, which takes you to first floor Lecture if you allow yourself to be grabbed by the monster to the right of Grand Cathedral. After that, you'll naturally get to Lecture building floor 2 later in the game

I'm disappointed with the gear in the game but mainly because you cannot upgrade them.

I was invaded twice in the 2 ngihtmare areas. Both of them met my Axe

So when you guys say a weapon "scales" with a particular attribute, does this mean it gets more powerful as you raise that attribute? I bought Ludwig's Blade and I see a lot of people mentioning it's an awesome weapon, but it's still weaker than my Hunter Axe, which has a lower attack rating than the sword.
But I see people saying it scales with STR/SKL. So if my SKL is raised, will the blade be more powerful? How do you know when a weapon scales so I don't buy weapons that don't compliment my STR build.

Do you have to buy the

It depends on both your stats and the weapon base damage. Is the axe upgraded more?
you don't have to. you found the alt route.
Press square on the weapon, look around for letters like A,B,C,D. There's a symbol next to these letters. That's the stat it scales with. Also, note that arcane scaling only comes into effect if you use a magic damage buff like fire paper on your weapon or if you put a gemstone to put an element on it(Which will cancel out the physical scaling, so it's not advised.)

what are the letters for?

After beating Amelia on the first try my confidence level was at an all-time high. Then the witches were a joke, though that area did have some challenges.
Now continually lost and getting ganked in The Forbidden Forest. Like three different paths I don't know where they lead and carrying around so many souls every step gives me a heart attack.

Step your game up!
But seriously, if you are having a tough time go farm some blood, level up and come back to it. The entire opening section is incredible and that fight pretty much sets the tone for the entire game. If you can't get through it you are most likely going to have a very rough experience with the rest of the game.

What gear do you have? Did you get the hunter set or are you still running around in your starting gear?
I did a blind run because its was my first time so I missed a lot of shit ):
I'll try to level up then. And holy shit at 96 and still having trouble with him x_x
How well it scales. S is better than A is better than B and so forth.
After you beat BSB go back to the cathedral ward. The door to the healing church workshop will now be opened. Reach the tower, drop all the way down. Fight the baphometh guy. Go through the door, turn left at the end of the street (not the alley). There's an elevator.

Haha yeah they were probably thought 'No one is calling us out for a downgrade'
Whenever the camera is sucking, I turn off lock-on.
Sometimes it's like a different game. Like you get one action game when you use lock-on, and a totally different action game when you have lock-on switched off.
The Cleric Beast became immediately, and massively easier for me when I stopped locking on and the camera was free. I do the same for a couple of other enemy types, and with them it always helps.

Using Saw Clever +6 with Vit/End/Str all above 23.
Due to popular demand, here's the video of me obliterating A
(optional boss) with my Cannon.
The 2nd shot missed the head so it only did 700 damage.

After BSB, you have to go to the bottom of the tower that opens up at Cathedral Ward and exploring that leads you to opening the gate without 10k.
The realization that camera locking is just another tool, good in some situations, bad in others does wonders to you surviving stuff that you otherwise wouldn't in souls games.
If you are locking 100% every enemy you are doing it wrong. Same goes for pvp!
Your entire moveset is dependent on locking as well i.e. your running and backhop R1 are vastly different.
Use Pungent Blood Cocktails when you want to heal, it's attracted to them. I noticed the one in the later Chalice Dungeons is a lot more aggressive.
You can even use them for a cheeky Visceral Attack if you time a charged R2 properly. (From behind)

Is there a boss in the unseen village? I can't seen to find it
Do not sweat it. No one is truly able to complete the side quests in From Software Souls style games on their first play through. Just enjoy the first round of the game knowing there is more on your next go around.
There's
2 bosses. 1 is optional. Start from the Chapel checkpoint and explore below.
The pig looks scary, but if you time it right you can sprint behind him and perform a backstab on him. Then enjoy sticking your hand right up his ass.

If I swear to the Vilebloods, will I have to stay with them and be unable to join with the Executioners in NG+?

Is there like a mini tutorial on this stuff?
I don't think this is true or good advice.
There are a few people in these threads who found the third boss far easier than the first, and a couple even mentioned having little trouble with the second boss (which I find very surprising). (Though yes by later in the game things will be very difficult - hopefully one will improve a lot as a player by then.)
Also, up to a certain point, levelling doesn't affect your performance that much. I overlevelled quite a lot, and I was struggling with the second boss at level 21. Then my (very experienced DaS player) friend beat him at level 12 without too much difficulty.
It's all about strategy. Try fighting the boss with lock-on on and off, try it mixing up different moves and weapon strategies, try using certain items, or look for new armour. There are so many better ways than just 'level up a bit'.
That said... Share playing your way out of problems, fanto, is not the answer either! Perservere, concentrate, and try different strategies. It'll happen.
Yes!
I did this by accident first time and literally shuddered.
The pig is really easy once you get the strategy down, though. (Guess that goes for every enemy in the game.) Protip:
run straight at the pig and jump/roll past him when he goes to attack. Then spin to lock on to him and do a hold-R2 strong attack. You'll stun him and can visceral him. Down in a oner.
I am pretty sure the item is not too important but the enemies are not too difficult with a long weapon with hard attack.
