If only Bloodborne went that one step further and instead of chalice dungeons, we get actually designed Raid Content in Souls form, gimmi dem raid mechanics.

Love this game though barely trails behind DeS.

Ritual Blood 4 and Bastard of Loran to get Defiled opened up. the blood is just fucking not dropping that much for me from the sack dudes. so tired of running back or using Bolds to reload lamp. anytime i see blood is required i just cringe.

The sack guy near the ladder, right? I did the same thing. That's the easiest way to get ritual blood 4. It has a 20% drop rate though.

Here's another method. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV7pOaIyTG0

You should get 4 Bastard of Loran by doing the Ailing Loran Chalice layer 3.

 

[F0rneus]

wow that sucks to a huge degree... how much did I miss? I'm not even sure where im supposed to go now

You'll eventually get access to that area if you keep going through the door in the room where you got taken by

The other way to enter brings you to a different place of the same area. Eventually you'll see the lamp you could have gotten to, but cannot get there at all. And you missed a boss, an armor set and a weapon.

Any tips for the (Chalice Spoiler)

Defiled Chalice Dungeon to the Queen?

defiled is hard as hell !
2nd boss was the hardest of the game for me so far, just beat it, his HP was crazy.

here's how I did it, I had a very close call at the very end as his charge is a 1 shot kill

Yeah, after I got my plat (lvl 160) I was *done* with those dungeons. It's not that they are inherently bad -- it adds plenty of 'decent' gameplay past the main experience that some people will really dig for many hours. But there's a moment where your enjoyment is gonna shift, and they become horrible, boring, unfun slices of game.

I felt this at lvl 160. You went to 240? I mean, holy shit, the fact that you didn't literally die of bordom is kinda amazing and says something good for those dungeons, ultimately. Anybody who spends that kinda time with them is gonna end up hating them.

Hell, on NG+++ now, and I think I'm done with the main game. I love the hell out of it, but the content for me is absolutely consumed. And it's 60 dollars well-fucking-spent, so I don't care that that's the case. But yeah, it's over, the dungeons are over, and it was a great ride.

Well, I still absolutely ADORE the main game. It's just that on a Design and craftsmanship level I think the Chalice Dungeons are total and complete garbage.

facing the

in the Defiled Chalice, this is some bullshit.

 

[Aaronology]

Huh so being level 72 with a +8 saw cleaver might have been too op against Paarl.

A bit? Aha. He was my third boss encounter, IIRC, and I beat him at 35ish after about a dozen attempts. It was only later that I learned he's a late game boss.

 

[Fitts]

i agree with people, Chalice is no fun. All I need is this one trophy. Why couldn't they just let us play through them? hunting for materials is just awful.

I haven't started Chalice-ing yet so I don't have an opinion, but why play it if you're not having fun? What's the attraction to getting a trophy/achievement if you're not enjoying yourself? (I turn off/ignore all that stuff)

Beat Amygdala on my first try:

Though I love the Souls games, I'm not that really that good at them, so for me this was a pretty proud accomplishment.

 

[cslesce]

It's like a status thing, if you have the blue (Rib cage?) with an up arrow you have a health regen.

so it depends what weapon + which gem is attached?

 

[Papercuts]

The other way to enter brings you to a different place of the same area. Eventually you'll see the lamp you could have gotten to, but cannot get there at all. And you missed a boss, an armor set and a weapon.

You can still fight the boss and get the weapon at any time. The only thing missed is the NPC, not sure about the armor set.

Maybe I should try to stay closer to her and use lock on, seems the camera is a bit further away, which was the problem before when all I could see was her fur..

Ok for the love of God I can't find any help on google about this - I just found the monocular at the Cathedral Ward and equipped it... but now I can't for the life of me UNZOOM out of this thing. I've tried every button imaginable and I tried unequipping the damn thing but it won't zoom out.... wtf is going on?

 

[Spoo]

Well, I still absolutely ADORE the main game. It's just that on a Design and craftsmanship level I think the Chalice Dungeons are total and complete garbage.

They are. I mean, it takes a while to get to the point where you realize it -- they don't have any of the ingenuity, lore, and design built into the main game.

But it works okay for a while. By the time you finish

Spoiler

The Queen

there's no way anyone can think those are fun, well-designed dungeons. The fact that most of them *aren't* random, but look random, that's a bit upsetting. No effort on From's part there :\ At least many of the bosses are unique, I guess.

Use the monocular again. It's an item. Use once to zoom, use again to zoom out.

[Error]

once you have the chalice you don't need the materials, you can do a dungeon search and select one from the list.

 

[QuantumZebra]

Heh, that boss is like the one single well designed fight in the entire Chalice shenanigans. And yeah, the non-root Dungeons all being premade and not random, but looking like thrown together random garbage really irks me.

Spoiler

Nightmare Frontier is an optional area you can go through if you want, there's a lantern you can use to warp back to the dream. From there you want to probably go to the grand cathedral or whatever(where you fought Vicar Amelia). If you're leaving from her chapel, hang a left down the stairs and keep going and it heads to where Amygdala is.

 

[Deku Tree]

I wish the game told you somewhere which chalice rituals you had already performed..

so it depends what weapon + which gem is attached?

Yep, also if you get hit by oil or something too.

Definitely. One of the easiest Plats I've ever done. The Plats for the other games were just obnoxious.

It's very easy to get atleast like 95% of them, the chalice thing is the only hard one.

What is the % on PSN for games like DaS and DeS leveled out to? Last I looked BB is still in the .5% for Plat.

But yeah, I think... it's a difficult platinum, but it's more a battle of attrition I think. Can you or can't you slog through a bunch of boring dungeons?

Cleric, Father Guacamole, Vicar Amelia, BSB, Paarl, and the Witches on that order, plus the first chalice.

 

[WonkyPanda]

I watched IGN's BSB video after my fight, to see how they handled it, and BSB did not fight anywhere near as aggressive as he did with me. It looked almost like an entirely different fight.

It seemed like there was almost no second phase where he goes 3-strike enrage mode.

I finally turned down the brightness on my tv and this game looks a lot better. I couldnt get it where it needed to be just with the in game settings.
