Got me 3 times last night and I don't think I was even able to halve its HP.

Easiest way to more or less guarantee a win solo is to dodge into his attacks (under his arm, towards his back as he is about to strike). Trying to dodge away from him usually ends in getting stun-locked, or so low on health that poison will finish you off. Dodging to the side is doable, but you have to do it twice to avoid all his attacks, and that usually takes you too far away from him to punish him, and what's worse it is easy to accidentally get caught up on the pillars this way If you can parry his first few attacks until he has about half health (the frames for the parry are when his arm is just over his head), the rest of the fight will be simple and the only thing you will need to worry about is his 1-hit KO grab.

Just practice dodging into him and hitting him 3 or 4 times, wash rinse repeat. It seems super dangerous, but is actually relatively safe, and gives you enough time to either combo him or drop a potion/antidote if needed.
 
What do people do with old Bloodgems? Are they worth saving for later on? Will we be combining them like in Diablo. Or should I be selling the small, low level gems?
 
You know 1 week later and a ton of hours logged into BB but all I keep thinking now that I feel like i've seen it all is that it seems to lack replay value. I don't even see a reason in NG+ this time.

I mean I loved the ride, but I feel like it's just over too soon compared to previous souls games for some reason. Is it Souls fatigue or does BB truly lack something at the end? Maybe I miss Magic?

I've had this chat with a few of my friends and we all seem to agree. Something we rarely do.

Sometimes a door is just a door (that doesn't open).

...

Has anyone tried rolling off the cliff around there to see if there's an invisible ground? Can it even be done?

PSN has been having issues too

Gonna post for new page: psn issues aside...

For coop;

All players have to boot up ps4 from off position. No rest mode.

Set network to worldwide
Set unique password i.e., au5bc8d. Do NOT use a common word like blood, hard or help.
The person you want to SUMMON rings bell first. Then the beckoner rings.
Be in same spot on map.
Do not go in your menus while waiting.

Since I've been doing this I have been cooping for 3 days straight with zero issues. Longest I've waited is 2 minutes.

I enjoyed the time I spent on it but I'm probably done for awhile too. I went through NG+ and it didn't really do much for me, NG++ onwards would already be stretching it.
 
Man, when Chalice Dungeons click, they really click.

Any tips for
Pthumerian descendant
? He seems more than doable but I couldn't telegraph all his moves.

I love and hate that throw attack at the same time.
 
Hey gaf how fucked am I? I have pissed off a hunter npc in the beginning area, kinda church setting where you could cut down two loot drops, i think its above the sewers. Crow kinda NPC standing on a balcony with dual daggers. Should i ignore her or go in for the kill? Is she important?

BSB tips:
The best opportunity to damage him is when he does the slow single swipe with his right hand (where he doesn't leap forward). Dodge into it, and immediatly charge R2 attack. This will stun him, allowing you to follow up with R1 backstab. That combo will take a chunk out of him. Pungent Blood Cocktail can be thrown to distract him. They are expensive to buy so I recommend only using them in the final phase @ 30% health. The poisin is annoying but I actually found that it is better to ignore the poisin and just use vials as necessary. Antidotes are expensive and using actually distracts you from doing damage.

Eb picking up where she left off last night fucking me hard.

I need some bolt paper...or something, lol. I find it near impossible to dodge the charges...I obviously dodge the initial rush, but some random tentacle will knock me down taking 1/2 of my health, kinda lame.

Plant yourself in her v shaped tentacle in the back. You can also plant yourself on her side by just standing next to the outside of the v shaped tentacle on her ass. She'll just twirl you around endlessly.

The only times you will take damage is when she flies up, just run back into that cubby and swing away. Also I'm fairly certain fire paper is better for her.

Bookmarking this post. As for chalice dungeons, it seems a lot easier to join a unique one, yes?
 
Ending Spoiler

Damn, i accepted that Gerhman kills me. I feel like i missed 50% of the game. My ending felt very abrupt without any real Finale. Is there much more if you refuse his offer ?
 
HELP!

Goddammit!!! can you leave Cainhurst castle and then come back?
Martyr Logarius is destroying me and I need to improve my equipment but since there's no lamp here I don't know if I can come back later.
 
[QUOTE="God's Beard!";158596168]Wow, this game would have been way easier if someone told me the potions scale with your max hp. I didnt level up vitality once.[/QUOTE]

I don't see why you wouldn't level up vitality even if you didn't know that. More HP is always good.

You'll get an inverted Yarnham to explore all the way to 200,6%

There's more stuff, you just witnessed one of the different endings. Something to look forward to in NG+

I assume youre not actually supposed to fight anything and just run past

I didn't realise it on my first play through but
if you look up at the caste you can see the eye of sauron on the bridge which is whats causing the frenzy build up. You're supposed to use the environment to break it's line of sight.

boss is pretty simple to take out if you take care of the adds and have a Ludwig's Holy Blade or other big weapon. From 2nd story, jump attack and bring sword down on it hard, usually results in it being parried.

?

There is a lamp at the beginning of the area and multiple shortcuts to get back to the boss quickly.
 
I can't believe how easy VA is once you get really agressive and keep really close to her. I beat her with the treaded cane in ~90 seconds tops with ~15 vials to spare. On my previous attempts, I was playing really cautiously and shit, rolling around like a maniac to put her at a distance.
