So did we ever figure out if arcane scaling on a weapon like the Kirkhammer or Ludwigs sword actually increases damage? I'd like to know before dumping a bunch of points into arcane.

Oh, this isnt common knowledge?

Okay, so when it says A arcane scaling, you still have to waste a gem to switch the scaling type over to arcane. The issue with this is- say you had +100 from str, +100 from skill, and +150 from arcane.

Arcane being active via a gem (from what I've seen) makes the damage type arcane- so you lose both of the other two, making it a worse choice. My advice is still just scale off str/skill, then apply a lovely arcane buff via your 15 arcane points that I've been nagging people to get so they can use the amazing buff.

If its the chalice one, I wish you best of luck...


again, its doable, its just cruel.

Grinding for materials is just mind numbing.

Finished all of Old Yharnam as far as I know.
Went as far as I can go in Hemwick Charnel Lane. After the Witch I got the Rune Workshop Tool and its a dead end.

The path to the left of Vicor and after the two hunters is locked. The door has an invisible enemy that shoots blue orbs at me and transports me into the air. When i get a chance to get to the door, it says locked.
Can't seem to go anywhere else in the Unseen Village. The big doors outside beyond the giant pig are locked.
The very top of the Healing Chuch Workshop is locked.

What do I do?
Maybe just a hint instead of the full answer first?
Thanks dudes

It really is :/ Just set aside an afternoon and say youll do it. If you do it next week (mon/tues/wens?) I can help :3

I've definitely parried them a couple of times. But that first sword guy near the beginning of Central Yharnum fucks me up after I parry him. I also saw two of those hammer guys in that balcony area and noped the fuck out.

Yeah, run around that area to check it out...and thats about it. I didnt really bother with those two consistently until I was far enough where I could kill them as I ran by

 

[Chiggs]

So fucking pissed. Boss fights where you get them down to one last hit, but not before they kill you, are so frustrating.

Ok guys, I beat the two hunters in old yarnam and killed the creature in the church. Now where do I go. I killed everything I could find and don't know where yo go to proceed off this stage.

im fighting it now

fuck this

My kill attempt took eight minutes. Eight fucking minutes is plenty of time to have a one second screw up and die.

once you get the timing on them they become the easiest dudes to kill in probably the whole game... i usually run right up to their face and 90 percent of the time they pick the hammer up, i shoot right before it comes down and stun them. visceral attack kills them with 1 shot. just practice the timing and you won't have to worry about those guys.

 

[FF Seraphim]

I only come here to say: Fuck Forbidden Woods. That place is creppy as hell.

Dude I am there right now and in some village that's just swarming with crazy fuckers with bombs... but some of the guys are like giving out 6k blood echos so it's not that bad...

Hint: Search for the man of infodumps, he is near your next area to go to.

Kinda a hint? It's moreso general direction without blatantly giving it away, because if you ran into him already, youve probably forgotten the area right by him. I did.

Before you leave that area, there is a secret area many people miss. i only bring this up because you're right there.

And from that, go back the cath ward. A small door on the side is now opened.

Im good on that cuz I can farm those giant centipede guys easy. Now I need more Ritual Blood 4 and Bastard of Loran for first Defiled dungeon.

 

[Grisby]

Urg, something compels me to go back to the game (finished it today) and go through all of the chalices even though the grinding is mind numbing. Kind of want to see the different bosses though and we are in a weak month for gaming (witcher aint even out till may).

Eh, maybe.

Is it possible to do the chalice dungeons and get the trophies needed for them in coop?

 

[-tetsuo-]

Theres the V shaped tentacle on her ass, keep running into it and spam slash her to death w/ fire paper. She'll jump up and you'll get ejected and take a small amount of dmg, but just run back in.

She might hit you with a few odd attacks but nothing too harsh you cant heal up through.

You might get unlucky and get her to do her laser sub 50, but just run out and dodge 'em and run back into the V.

Rinse, repeat. You might get owned a few times b/c of laser or unlucky RNG, but this strat is a surefire kill within 5 attempts MAX.

Welp. Five time surpassed.

Can you explain what you mean by getting a buff with 15 arcane? Is that something that's automatic or is there something that triggers that?

Go just outside the Vicar Amelia boss fight and go all the way right where you have to go down. There are two hunters, one with a lightning mace. Kill or ignore them. Past the two hunters, there's a bag man standing before a drop onto some other enemies.

I was having issues with the game loading so I figured I would do a quick uninstall to see if that would fix it. The issue was not a big deal but now that I have uninstalled the game and re-installed it, I am told that the game is not finished downloading and thus cannot load my save. It only took a minute to fully install which I thought was strange, is it fully downloading in the background or?..

I'm looking at downloads but it's only showing me the Update for the game.
Seriously worried as I was only two trophies away from the Platinum....
