Can someone explain to me what Beast Blood Pallets do exactly? They raise beasthood.. ok... So what the fuck does that mean? What does that do for my stats?
 
I've been trying that, but I always seem to get hit at least once by the magic. I usually run toward him, slightly on an angle. I've varied up rolling and trying to change direction, but only three times out of 20+ attempts have I managed to completely not get hit. I will try to vary it up again and see what I can do. At least losing to him made me go and investigate the Chalice dungeons finally. Those provide a nice respite from the main game.

The only other tip I could give you is to completely ignore his minions. They're better dodged and you don't waste valuable time
 
Random, but has the community decided on an early contender for this game's version of Ornstein and Smough? Not because it's two at once, but because the battle is so good and fairly well designed.
 
Super annoying boss, but you can cheese him so easily. Just lock on, get a long weapon (hunter axe or transformed saw cleaver) and just keep backwards dodging until you get an opening.

Turns it into a joke. If you try to fight him head on... it's the most annoying, difficult fight in the game IMO.

i resorted to poison knives, both times

Just stay behind her and learn her attack patterns to find out what's safe.

I would actually recommend staying directly in front of her just out of arm's reach, so you can bop her in the noggin
 
Man, where can I get Bastard of Loran? I cleared out all of Ailing Loran Layer 3 where Fextralife said they would be dropped and I didn't get any.

Those were hidden pretty well in my chalice dungeon. You might have an area with suspension bridges over a large ravine, the Bastard of Loran was in a chest on the other side of one of those bridges and I never found it as a drop.

Also, plan in a few hours for Defiled Chalice Dungeon. That was by far the hardest thing in the game for me.
 
If you only met her in the beginning then go to the Tomb of Oedon.

doesn't show up at the Cathedral till after you defeat
Rom.
Thanks, and thanks QuantumBro (can't multiquote since I'm on mobileGAF, which would also explain my bad spelling at the moment)!

But on the fextralife wiki it says her second location is just outside Cathedral Ward, and third is at the Tomb. But maybe I've got my locations mixed up. Which lamp is the closest to her second location? I'm not by the game at the moment and don't recall the names of all the lamp locations!
 
So, you know the elevator glitch that people have been having? Mine fixed itself.

Basically, go to an area as far away from your current location as possible, then return. It should remove everything from memory and reset things once you go back to the elevator. To be fair, I played for a few hours in other areas (a few chalice dungeons included) so I'm not sure if you need to spend much time away or just force several loads.

Either way, got the shortcut and beat OR on my first try (NG+).

Don't think there is much consensus on a "best boss" if that's what you mean. Personally I don't think there's one as good as O&S but there's a few that are close.

My favourite is the (end game)
Gehrmam
. The music, the setting and the fact that he forces you to master the games sublime combat system. Totally epic, maybe my favourite final boss of all time.

As far as I'm aware, she shows up in four locations.
1. Somewhere in the sewers in Central Yharnam. (I've never run into her there)
2. Outside of Cathedral Ward after buying the key and opening the gate with it.
3. At the Tomb of Oeden fighting a hunter.
4. Right outside Grand Cathedral.

In order to complete her side quest, you only need to do steps 3 and 4.

I met her at 1, and got a gesture, but I've done everything needed to meet the requirements for 2, but she's nowhere to be seen. I'll look more after I've managed to beat this boss that just made me take a break. But I hope your right about just needing steps 3 and 4 - means there's still hope either way! Thanks for the help dude!

Found it! It was in the pit I avoided lol
 
How do you know when you finished a chalice dungeon. I only did 2. Got to the 3rd level heart / boss. Killed them and then you just leave ??

Uhh you mean on the elevator down to a boss from CH?

Because yeah my game glitched on that as well and Im bummed about it for sure.

Aside from that I am LOVING this game. Its great to finally be able to post with you guys. I got my dumbass banned before the game launched.. oh well. Read most of both OT'S. I put mpre than 80 hours in covering 2 characters, one who is lvl 87 and in endgame, just clearing out most of the optional stuff before I go to ng+. Character build is mostly STAMINA and SKILL but also a slight touch of Arcane.

The other is lvl 54 and I only put 7 hpurs into that one. Cleared Cleric Beast on my second try with that one at a low lvl, and Gascoine in one try. Building that character fully around STRENGTH and VIT stat.

This game is arguably the best ps4 game out right now, and imo some of FROM's best work. If you love Dark Souls or Demon Spuls theres almost no way this wont be anything but a great game for you. And its good to see a lot of newcomers to the series, I'm really curious how much it has sold so far.
 
Music is a big deal to me so I'm always paying attention which gets me killed sometimes :p

But yeah, that one stood out as well as TOR's. Also the few locations with background music scares the shit out of me.

I'm a wuss and don't use my headphones to play this game, go through the tv speakers. I honeslty think I wouldn't have been able to play so much of this game if I was using them.

Heck, I found the intro of Destiny to be creepy with the headphones on, this game would give me a heart attack.
 
Too much
running around
and not enough
beating his ass
.
I ignored every enemy on the way. I bum rushed that motherfucker and when he locked himself in the second room, I fucked him up real good to the point he never had a chance to attack back or summon help.

But you have to do 1 or 2 while they are available in order to get her to appear at 3 and 4

I don't think there's a single gatekeeper "git gud" boss like O&S in Bloodbourne. Each boss seems to have a focus and there aren't a whole lot of human bosses that make you feel like you're fighting a skilled enemy rather than just a plain gigantic one. I think SoY tried to be the games' O&S, don't think it was successful.

Some of the non-boss hunter fights are brutal though.
 
Out of all the bosses I fought, the one I hate the most is B
lood
-L
etting
B
east
. It felt damn good to finish that fight with a visceral. I should upload that fight to YouTube.
 
If you want to git gud, step into chalice dungeons and clear defiled layers. It'll put you on the fast track. I've yet to die to an ng+ boss, I have to go deeper!
 
God that boss is killing me. Level 64 and could use some help.

I'm level 64 as well. The tactic I used was kinda cheesy, basically just running around, going for a strong attack when there was a bit of free space around him. I used basically all of my health potions haha.

Currently in the U

V
illage
bit, whatever it's called, with the huge
monsters
clinging to the buildings. Very annoying area.

SoY is far from a git gud boss, dark souls 2 gank squad is way harder than those guys. Slash slash, roll roll until you get another chance to poke them.
