Hmm, I wondered if that might be the case. Ok, thanks. I'll head back to the woods maybe for now. At least I have my 3

You are WAY too low for that area for any chance of co-op.. I was like 68 when I faced that boss. lol. Are you doing a low-level run or just there early?

If your not the type of person who plans to do challenge runs, you are seriously under leveled for that boss

I have a stockpile of madman's knowledge that I haven't used and I was wondering something. All I know about insight is that it makes enemies stronger, effects something called frenzy which I haven't encountered, and is used for co-op. I thought I read something either in game or here that it also effects your perception of the world. Without any specifics please, are there any lore or quests that I need my insight high to 'see'?
cleric B is optional while Father G is mandatory boss to progress further. You can level up because you have 1 insight now (you get 1 for facing a boss).
Most ppl meet cleric beast first because it's easier/faster to find.

I still haven't killed Rom and it's been 4-5 days now. I gave up fighting him and decided to help other people and do some chalice dungeons. I keep building up a pile of echoes to level up and I lose them.
I think right now I'm going to get more stone and upgrade that little lightning rod I found.
I can't beat him alone and every time I get help, the help dies and then I dies after he targets me again. I don't believe avoiding the spiders is a viable strat. I keep getting jumped by them when I get close to Rom.
Really irritating but I have other stuff I can do. I need to figure out where htat giant lightning skull boss monster was. I found him once then didn't go back so he's probably optional.

Is anyone else having trouble connecting to friends for some chalice dungeon co-op? We're both the same level, using glyphs to make sure we're in the same dungeon, definitely on the same floor of the dungeon, both using the same network password and it's just not joining us together no matter what we do. Very frustrating.
No go back to the one you came from.
Or
go to the one at the end of the sewers that unlocks the elevator.
w-what
I got hit only when i was completely ignoring the projectiles. I just ran my ass off whenever they would rain down at a angle and they pretty much always missed. The
spiders

It just requires patience, get 2-3 slashes in when the
spiders
Cleric boss is optional, but most people kill it first so it became the first boss.
No
Only lanterns are the main one in area, which you already unlocked, and a lantern for each of the 2 bosses in area. There are shortcuts you can unlock to make you're life easier

Beat Chalice BSB on my first try

I explored some paths post Blood Starved Beast and I wonder which is the 'main' one:
I should keep exploring the first path right?
- I bought the key in the shop and opened the main gate in the cathedral area. I guess this is the path I should be following now? The giants here hit hard
- I suddenly woke up in the 'Unseen village', after dying to the sack guy in the cathedral area. Or is there another reason I ended up here? I don't think I should be here yet, the enemies feel way too tough.
- Also past the Cathedral lamp I found a tower with a bunch of wheelchair enemies, but no path to another area. Going down below leads to a fall you can't survive, unless I'm missing something.

yea it's a great tool, sometimes when enemies have circular wing spans to there attacks its the only way to dodge.
Finally beat the game btw--I'm pretty sure I had over 60+ hours too, dunno how people were beating it shorter. I knew I missed some things, but found out I had 2 out of 3 of the secret things to get a different ending. NP though will definitely do it on my NG+ playthrough, this is where I hear the bosses are truly at there greatest potential anyway, and ending number 1 seems rather appropriate for NG+.

Yeah you skipped CB, but he's 30 seconds from the lamp if you have the shortcut you should be using for FG.
Spoiler on the location:
the bridge with the two werewolves. Head past the big guy and 3 ravens.
When you're on the bridge with the two wolves then a troll just keep going forward to get to CB.

That's Father Gasgoigne. You missed the non essential Cleric Beast on the bridge
It took getting to BSB for me to really realize that. It changed how I played the game.
Go to Witch's abode. Run up stairs, kill the 3 witches, and the first executioner will come running. Parry and visceral attack. Run down the ramp and pick up the first of the two executioners down there. Kill him and then the last one. You should get 4-6 vials from the executions and over 10,000 echoes. Head back to hunter's dream and buy a bunch of vials.
I have done runs in about 3 minutes. Quickest way by far I have found, boosted by the fact that executioners drop a set. If you not great at visceral's though, do not attempt.
You can get to the bottom, but it requires falling on the various scaffoldings one at a time. You can use Shiny Coins to judge the distance of a drop; if they make a sound when they hit the bottom, it's not lethal.
But yeah, the first path is the main path and your best bet. The giants aren't that bad; they're very slow and there is a way around them.

Ha! Ok! I get it! The enemies weren't too bad so I figured I might give it a go. Some nice collectibles here. I'll scavenge elsewhere for now.

Anyone else using the hunter's axe the entire game? I'm level 61 and I'm still using it. I don't see any compelling reason to switch.
Cane always and forever.
Yes, i try that to tell people who need help with BSB or VA that this is a good way. Problem is that you instinct always let's you dodge back or sideways when under pressure from enemy attacks.
Some bosses and normal enemies have horizontal attacks, who hit you when you dodge sideways but with a forward jump (with lock on) you get behind them almost every time.
That is also the best strategy http://www.neogaf.com/forum/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=158713168against the mosquito-spiders in the cainhurst yard.

There is no reason to switch if you are comfy and you are doing enough damage.
It's a general rule of souls games.

I would help, but I think I'd need to level up 4 times for it to be possible...
You should find someone eventually, though, because I still got summoned there ~1-2 times.
SCREENSHOTS THREAD! But be warned, there are open spoilers. It'd be great to see what shots you guys have taken.
I honestly think thats why I found the game so easy to play compared to everyone. Once you consistently can do that, youre applying constantly pressure on the bosses that you simply could not do in the previous games. Theres a few exceptions like the SoY who running backwards and taking one on then looping around again was the smart move, but besides those exceptions, it really is the best strategy for a lot of situations. The fact I could consistently charge R2 or do a jump attack on bosses with Ludwigs sword (which stuns for a second charge usually) is notable when most cant land hits on bosses
Yeah I'll play with it a while and see if I dig it. I feel like I might miss the double handed R2 charged attack from the axe.

Yep
death awaits her and anyone else that goes there
Just a hunter. You get QS bullets from him/her.
Weird, Micolash
ran straight to the "kill rooms" this time around making it a very short fight. On my first playthrough he kept running away for a long time and warping whenever I hit him making it pretty frustrating. Have they patched the fight or could this be insight related?

The sewers are a stones throw from shortcuts you can open up, so it's not about finding lanterns (or bonfires like in DS1) as it is about finding shortcuts to get back to the lanterns quickly.

I don't think so, I think those graces are just so you have he option to progress through multiple dungeons at once.
