Man, some of these NF guys make me feel under leveled lol

 

[super-famicom]

Any tips for READ ONLY MEMORY?

I'm level 62

Spoiler

I found killing all of the little spiders and then attacking the boss made the fight go easier. I killed the initial group, attacked Rom, then after he teleported and the second wave came, I got rid of those and then proceeded to kill Rom. Use Bolt Paper, it is very useful against Rom. And to dodge the meteors he casts at you, just run in a zig zag pattern.

 

[blainethemono]

Yes, if for just story stuff. Then pump str I guess? Or bloodtinge, if you like new/powerful guns. Lol

yeah, mostly just for NG+ runs and chalice stuff. Never really messed with any other guns in the game other then the starting pistol

 

[ThatManTy]

Anyone? I'm guessing this screws me out of platinum on my first playthrough...

I had the same issue. don't go back to the graveyard yet, go forward through the CW, and make an immediate left where the bench is surrounded by statues, and barrels. she should be standing there by the railing. Then you'll be able to do it no prob.

Edit : Amelia 1 shot. Easiest boss, by far. I ran in, stayed close, and strafed and managed to stay on her backside. Whenever she tried to heal, I was always right behind her, wacking away. lev 40 +6 Kirkhamer for reference.

okay scratch my previous questions, just...how do i get to the vicar fight? i have the 10k key, cant find him in the cathedral

 

[Schryver]

after you lock him up in the room, try going all the way up the stairs and look to the right. there should be another room you can drop down from.

Lol nevermind. Outran him. Don't know how I missed it though

Open that gate, and run straight, and don't stop.

Start in Cathedral Ward. Exit via left door. Go up stairs towards area where Giant comes thru gate from left. Run up stairs to your right (direction where hes walking) Gate at top.

Unless you already did that, but it sounds like you're looking by the ward lantern

If you have the key, all you really gotta do is ascend up the path when you run through the gate. You really cant miss the big doors with guards.

Edit: run straight out the CW, and just run up the steps. that's the gate.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Use the spiral stairs to your advantage.

If you have the threaded cane, use the whip R2 and time your attacks when they move in. You will be able to stagger them every time and move back and do it again.

Focus on one, kill him, get killed repeat.

Also from the lantern you respawn - run out, immediately right, jump down, pass the mobs, down the stairs, into the chappel where they are - deal with aggroed mobs.

Run dows the stairs, run one level lower, start walking and go up on opposite side.

Visceral attack. Then use guns to stagger. Visceral. Stagger. Slash slash.

Good luck

 

[toastyToast]

I'm level 74 fighting the triplets in Forbidden Forest. Been farming like crazy. I'm dominating with 45 insight as well.

Btw, I killed that punk bitch Alfred upon our first encounter. How much of the game did I fuck up? Please no specifics.

As long as you got the rune and the thing that lets you buy the wheel for the weapons trophy you're fine. He does do something pretty crazy later on if you left him alive though

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll get it in a couple runs.

It is like "double barreled shotgun" type of gun. You can fire pretty rapidly with it to get to the stagger/parry time window.
Also the "harder to parry with" - that really depends on you knowing when to parry tbh. Not how the weapons fires and such. Skill and experience with enemies.

Wait, I picked the harder parry tool?

Okay, I need to replay this game, low level, some super weird build. Thatll get me to stop my "bloodborne was easy" view :/

 

[Brian_FETO]

I seriously can't fathom how y'all can just be walking around with 10's of thousands of echoes. I generally spend them before they build up too much

The farm is real I guess

I used the 2nd mode of my +6 Threaded Cane against them. They're actually really easy like that. I tried them with Blades of Mercy and they always managed to grab and kill me.
Maybe that helps.

Not necessarily, once you get to NG+ you get tons and tons of blood echoes. You easily get 100 thousands + just by beating all the enemies on your way to the boss.

I find it easier to parry with. Maybe you got confused on how I wrote-worded the response.

i was just under the impression that the timing was different on certain guns. no idea why i thought that, maybe i read it somewhere

played through the whole game with hunter pistol +5 and mostly just axed stuff to death, didn't try to parry much except on big/slow enemies and some bosses

 

[MrCookiepants]

Fuck, Cleric Beast is impossible with only 1 or 2 blood vials. Like, he has that un-dodgeable infinite range lunge that does half my bar and I don't have enough heals to offset it.

Remind me not to waste all my consumables on the first run next boss.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Ah...so that's what was singing.

I really do hate those things.

 

[red731]

I don't parry mobs same size as me except for hunters.
I parry things that are two sizes bigger. Walk up slowly to them and visceral them.

I am not afraid of dying to learn and perfect each mob/boss, heh.

Do you even sedate, breh? Also change of clothes/resists is recommended.

I dont even go back for any echoes when I die unless it is well over 50k. If you kill your way through some later areas instead of running past enemies, they add up fast.

Tips for the final boss, halp

 

[è£ ç”²æ‚ªé¬¼æ‘æ­£]

Blunderbusses definitely have a delay when firing them, which makes them worse for parrying. Their only use as far as I can tell is stopping a group of enemies in front of you.

Still should probably do that. Well..I was never overleveled. I just...


I kinda miss that old feeling I got with dark, where I actually died frequently at the start. I dont know :/

I was using the jump attack (forward + R2) with the ludwick holy blade but I got to an area with a lot of them and then theres a thing that spits poison, so I'm just gonna retreat for now, couldn't find any shorcuts either, oh well
