Wow. The boss battles in NG+ ain't shit. The lesser enemies are still pricks though. Some of these motherfuckers have WAY too much HP/defence.

But the boss battles are child's play now. Dat scythe is putting these fuckers to sleep quick.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Where do I go in the Upper Cathedral Ward after killing the first boss up there?

EDIT: nevermind literally just smashed through to the next area.

 

[ricelord]

On the other hand they did patch Dark Souls so that you could buy titanite chunks.



Wait until you see the next boss lol

"crying in a corner" it had to be THAT boss.

A few quick questions. I feel like I'm heading towards the end of the game but I kind of want to explore as much optional stuff as I can.

I'm wearing the

because its description indicates it reveals hidden stuff. So far I can't tell if it does anything at all.

Is there a point of no return? I'm currently in N

, I think I'm just before the boss room.

Spoiler

Creepy lady area, didn't fully explore frenzy infested route yet.

I'd like to try and find secrets or extra weapons before I finish the game so I'd rather not do so accidentally if that can happen.



You get the key later, it is called Upper Cathedral Ward key.

A little spoil to help you:

The doll will ask you to do something. This is the point of no return. And whatever you do, read what npcs are saying first.

Hahaha

On the bright side, you only have 1 boss and 1 dungeon left to go!

So the only boss i ever summoned for in the entire game (and i have the platinum) was good old Cleric Beast. I tried him 15+ times and he just constantly kicked my ass. Just tried him in NG+ and wrecked him with only using 2 potions. It's amazing how much your skill improves through perseverance

 

[Baalzebup]

I SERIOUSLY HAVENT GOTTEN A SINGLE BLOOD STONE CHUNK IN LIKE 12 HOURS.

Fuck this late game farming, I'm glad I'm not the only one complaining and they'll hopefully patch this dumb ass shit soon.

Do you boost your discovery with runes? The 'eye' runes boost discovery and high discovery is essential to get the chunks. I farmed the

for a total of 4 hours max, to a total of.. 35~ chunks. My base discovery was around 130~ due to my arcane stat and I used the two 'eye' runes I have managed to find.

 

[spannicus]

Can someone help me beat Amagdyla?

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Have fun! Lol

thanks, it actually only took two attempts. First one I got obliterated. Second time I just wedged myself in that sweet ass.

Dying left and right against the bsb last night, came back today and took me a couple of tries, pretty much all parries, kind of weird how much easier it was.

 

[cslesce]

Any info when will the patch reload times?

 

[SeanTSC]

So, my OCD and the need to Catch Them All has gotten the better of me and I want to finish out my Rune collection. These are the ones I have left:

Arcane Lake - Arcane DMG reduction +10%
Clear Deep Sea - Add slow poison RES +300
Deep Sea - Add frenzy RES +100
Dissipating Lake - Bolt DMG reduction +7% & +10%
Fading Lake - Fire DMG reduction +7%
Formless Oedon - Max QS bullets held UP +1 & +5
Great Lake - All DMG reduction +3%
Lake - Phys. DMG reduction +5%

Does anyone have any Chalice Glyphs with these Runes in them? I've been searching on the wiki and the spreadsheets and gamefaqs and such, but no luck so far with these last few.

I find that if I am doing poorly against a boss and take a break from playing for a while, then the next day I'll be refreshed and stomp that boss easily. Just happened to me with M

Rom

, what a crappy fight. Just running around like a jackass until I saw an opening and cheesing it with the transformed Axe's R2 attack.

Also is there any point in using the Root Chalices?

Yes, it's where the best loot is at. Depth 5 root with offerings will give you plenty of top tier gems, top tier runes, blood rocks, lost weapons and a few other very rare surprises, not to mention shit lot of blood echoes

I do not, but I really should. :/

 

[the black pearl]

There's a long streak of forgettable bosses in the middle of this game. They're all fun to some degree, but still. Give me something good already.

 

[SeanTSC]

I do not, but I really should. :/

There's also a +100 version that you can get from Chalice Dungeons. The other two are 50 and 70, so you can add a total of +220 Discovery just from them.

Raising your Arcane also raises your Discovery stat. At 50 you'll have a base of 209. So max at softcap with runes is 430 (any Rune rolls that 9 over to a 10 for some reason). At that much enemies almost always drop something if they can. Though the drop rate is still quite high with just the Runes on and Arcane not leveled much.

Can anyone help me? I'm stuck on where to go next...

Spoiler

I killed Rom, and I know you're supposed to go to that lady that spawns there after you kill Rom but I think I went to the lantern first before going to the lady adn getting to the second floor of the study place to get to nightmare mensis. I tried going back to the lake but she isn't there. Anyone??

Anyone?

I went halfway into frontier, then finished the unseen village and started climbing the mensis area. Didn't know Amygdala at the end of that area (although they kind of forshadowed that)

 

[eot]

On the other hand they did patch Dark Souls so that you could buy titanite chunks.

Pretty sure they did not do that. You can buy Twinkling Titanite, not Chunks.

 

[QuantumBro]

Anyone?

What you do now depends on what bosses you've beaten after Rom. If you proceed through Nightmare Mensis you'll be on the path to ending the game.

Don't worry.

Yeah, some games depend on your mindset more than others. =/

And sometimes, doing poorly in a game is a good sign to just call it a night, turn off the game, go to sleep, and challenge it again tomorrow.

I've found myself dreaming of how to parry bosses or perfect dodge some attacks when I sleep. It is scarier when I'm dreaming it in first person view. =_=;;

First Souls game. I'm having a blast and I'm through 6 bosses so far.

Spoiler

Cleric Beast, Father G, Blood Starved Beast, Amelia Vicar, Witches of Hemlock, Shadows of Yarhnam.

It's definitely frustrating at times, but it's fair and addicting!

 

[the black pearl]

There is no shame in mercilessly beating the blood out of these bosses.

I must purge myself for my offsense. I'm going to break the stick on my controller and force myself to beat the rest of the game with it.

(I played half of Dark Souls 2 with a semi broken controller. I was screaming during the sentinels boss fight and woke up my roommate, so I finally went and bought a new one)
