I think you're outta luck if you've already done Rom

Damn I guess I'll get it on NG+

Pretty bummed that the Bell Maiden in NF does not respawn if killed. I liked that one invasion that came in and wanted to face some more folks.

[saveweyard]

I've been meaning to ask this. So is this section like the Painted World of Ariamis? Are there any like that in the game?

There are actually a lot of optional areas and they are some of the best in the game

 

[greatestjediever]

Finally got to FINAL BOSS

Spoiler

Gehrman

his first 2/3 is relatively simple right?

It's just his last 1/3 where he's a little charged up? Any tips?

I found his last section probably the easiest if you're patient. Just keep your distance and he will occassionally do this attack where

Spoiler

it's like he's drilling into the ground and then does a big swing up

. That will leave him open for a couple seconds for you to take a couple swipes and then back away. Just stay patient and he shouldnt be able to do too much damage to you on the final phase.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Rom's a jerk

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";158718073]If I add an attack type like arcane or fire to a weapon does that remove my normal bonuses? They seem to disappear.[/QUOTE]
Yes they disappear unless your weapon has some Arcane damage on it by default like the Burial Blade.

 

[Kevin Shields]

What level is good for taking on

Spoiler

the annoying freaking scary frustrating snake creatures of forbidden forest... I'm getting killed pretty easily and I'm at level 32 I think. Should I leave this behind and explore more? I think I found a cave in the forest and I haven't explored it yet....

. Any help would be great...

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

It just takes me back to the beginning of the area.

It takes you back to the lantern at the beginning of the area, yes. Take the lantern back to the Hunter's dream and get yourself some Blood Vials.

 

[Itchy//Tasty]

Why can't I use the reckoning bell for Vicar?

I think you have to open one of the locked gates in the area first. I though this was a glitch for ages.

 

[Augemitbutter]

hm didn't know you had to farm chalice dungeons for ritual blood so much. i only have 3 of 9 for the 3rd chalice.

time to farm, eh

 

[Pastry]

I think you have to open one of the locked gates in the area first. I though this was a glitch for ages.

Hmmm I opened both of the levers. Is there another gate?

You can still join by doing something after completing Alfred quest

There should be a lamp.

Confused. How are you trapped? There's a lantern right at the beginning.

There's no lantern at the beginning. Am I an idiot? What am I missing?

 

[Ellite25]

So...

Spoiler

I can hear a crying baby in Old Yharnam now. What's up with that? Was it like that before or is that something new after beating Paarl?

The gate that you need the badge for

 

["God's Beard!"]

Yes they disappear unless your weapon has some Arcane damage on it by default like the Burial Blade.

So I have a blade of mercy which has arcane by default, I cant add fire to it? Doesnt seem to work.

I want to make a fire weapon but the stats seem really low compared to physical and I have no idea if the extra effect is worth it. I messed with rapid poison but it seemed kinda useless.

 

[bobawesome]

I just watched a video of someone fighting

Spoiler

Margo's Wet Nurse

and this isn't how the battle went at all in the four times I've fought her.

Spoiler

She moves around slowly, flailing her arms. In the video she was warping around and summoning a clone.

What in the world.

What about

Micolash? Is he not supposed to cower in a corner the entire fight?

Join the vilehoods then give note to Alfred. That why you get both convenant rune. Also, you can resurrect the vilehood queen after Alfred kills her.

It's normal after beating

[Baldwin_the_First]

Oh, then all you need to do is find the lantern that is most surely close to you. Have you at least tried to find one?

 

[Pastry]

The gate that you need the badge for

Hmmm okay I just found it! I was able to open it!! Thanks y'all

was the hunter a slug all this time? wtf

 

[Diagol]

The game is fantastic! However, I wish that when using the Beckoning Bell, it would only use up the insight when someone has actually joined you. I've lost like 5 insight because no one will join (network set to worldwide), and when losing the connection to the network. It's pretty dumb.

 

[saveweyard]

So...

Spoiler

You'll find out. Also pretty sure it was always there but fainter before certain events. It also depends on the area

OK I finally found it. It blended in with the scenery but isn't near where the mark took me.

Not sure how I missed that before. Too bad I lost all my echoes.

No, you get reborn as a slug after the final boss lol It means that you become a new Great Old. Kind of hate it honestly, should have follow Gherman wish

Yeah that was probably my least favorite. Like you said I had so much trouble keeping track of where I was and getting around. I'm sure I probably missed stuff there.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

Cainhurst Castle is an optional area like Painted World.

Totally, but you're not TRAPPED anywhere like Painted World in Bloodborne, right? Remember, you had to make it to the end of Ariamis to get back to Anor Londo.

If you want to be able to continue to parry throughout the game, yes

In what regard? Does parrying get easier with higher gun levels? Or does the window get smaller and smaller? My pistol is +5 right now. Should I be looking to get that higher?

Interesting. The wet nurse was the same for me. That it was a very easy fight. Maybe, bugged?

As for Micolash, he tried meleeing me.

What are you looking at exactly? The lantern is before the first enemy. How hard have you looked?

You can always go back to the dream once you find a lamp

 

[piratethingy]

If you want to be able to continue to parry throughout the game, yes

Oh wow no way is this a real thing? Haven't upgraded mine once since I figured I don't need the actual shot to do any more damage, just trigger the visceral...

 

[Ferr986]

If you want to be able to continue to parry throughout the game, yes

I'm fairly sure parry isn't affected by pistol leveling. It only affects damage.

Nope. No zones in this game where you are trapped.

 

[IAmRandom31]

70% of people have gotten the Cleric Beast trophy. A total of 10% have gotten one of the ending trophies. :lol

Come on people! You started it, you can finish it

this is a massive game. a lot of people don' have 5-6 hours a day on hand.

im currently 40 hours in and just at Rom atm lol. Still got a ways to go ( I think )

May beat it sometime next month

 

[todahawk]

Any idea how to get in there. It says the

Spoiler

door doesn't unlock from that side and she keeps spawning more golems and I can't find her.

Yup,

Spoiler

when you first walk in and deal with the first big dude don't drop down lower (where the door and chest is). Stay up top and go left, that's where the bell ringing bitch is. kill her and I think a wheel chair gunner possibly, then look to your left a bit and you'll see where you can drop down.

If you're already down there I think there's a way to walk back outside and go back up the steps and across the small bridge so you can do it again... Did it earlier yesterday.

 

[Beaulieu]

Im level 94 and I have a suuuuper hard time going through Ailing Loran chalice, damn.
main game was so easy in comparaison

hm didn't know you had to farm chalice dungeons for ritual blood so much. i only have 3 of 9 for the 3rd chalice.

time to farm, eh

I was doing this last night. Fucking terrible design.

 

[saveweyard]

I think I'm gonna start going through the chalice dungeons now. I'm near the end of the game and haven't touched them at all and apparently they can be grindy? Still not sure how they work so I'll have to look at the guide in the op.

 

[Vampirolol]

Will I find anything useful in the Chalice Dungeons? I'm having fun but it feels like a waist.

 

[Ellite25]

So should I level up

Spoiler

Arcane to take advantage of some of the items that require it to be at 15?

I'll take it for my brother he loves the bandaged ones so should like them.

 

[mrklaw]

Are there enough items to upgrade multiple weapons on a first run through? I got a ton of twin shards in hemwick so my axe and cane now need chunks, but I bought ludwigs sword and wondering if I'll be able to upgrade that too, or should I focus?
