Also a little wrong. It just asks you to end the ritual

Yo what the fuck. That's a weird ending.

If you look hard enough you can find a good amount of unfninished/ textureless areas of the world where the average player wouldn't look. It doesn't bother me, it's just interesting.

I think you also have to factor in what weapons a person is using. On my new character where I was using Threaded Cane, certain stuff was just so much harder cause it doesn't stagger anything whatsoever and other things were easier because of the range.

Meanwhile the three hunter fight was pretty easy for me on (beat it on the second try) because Ludwigs Blade + Beast Pellet + Fire Paper (I think it was) meant that the hunters just kept getting staggered and couldn't close the distance on me at all.

I walked up to claw guy, did a stealth attack and ran back to the bell maiden area. He's easy to finish off if he comes alone, if not just let them reset and stealth attack again. The second one on the stairs I also stealth attacked and then finished off 1 v 1 outside, this guy is the strongest. The third one is almost no threat if you're half decent at shooting his long ass animations.

Ah very true, yeah I found Ludwig in 2h mode was pretty useless for me initially (especially vs the threaded cane guy), had much more luck trying to parry. I'm thinking of trying a cane skill/arcane build on my 2nd playthrough. Does the whip always stagger?

 

[TP-DK]

Just completed the game. Took me 50 hours. If I remember correctly Demons Souls took me 60, and that was my first game so I spend extra time on adjusting, so I don't really follow people saying this game is shorter.

What an amazing game, it's right up there with Demons Souls in my opinion, and I'm already eager to start on new game plus, and try out my new weapon.

 

[Randam]

There's a bit of both.

Do tell.

It's supposed to be like this. You'll find something to drop into that void later.

Just beat

Yharnam in the last chalice dungeon.

That's a great boss fight. I think it's my favorite one in the game. Too bad it's so deep in the dungeons that a lot of people won't end up experiencing it.

Oh there's more than one? I refused Gehrmann, killed him, and then this monster descended down on me and started eating me. Cut to the doll pushing me in a wheelchair saying that the hunt will begin again.

 

[Facism]

Any tips on Pthumerian Descendant in Great Chalice? He is very deadly and parrying him is based on luck.

i had to bring a friend in to help as that boss is the concentration of all the bad parts of Dark Souls 2, ie aimbot tracking attacks, phantom range, dodgy hitbox and attacks going through the environment, especially when he throws his weapon THROUGH pillars.

Isn't it out and away from it?

Nah,

Noooooo!!!! WTF man, I was standing in front of the Doll and my controller fell on the floor, and it R2 attacked and killed her! I can still level up, but now she's dead. Can I bring her back to life?

 

[TeddyShardik]

Do tell.

There's blood gems with lighter tearstone effects. You can probably stack those for hyper mode. Didn't find many of them so far though.

As far as weapon buffs there's only one besides the papers. It's one of the spell like items. Takes 15 arcane to use and adds arcane damage to the weapon.

Noooooo!!!! WTF man, I was standing in front of the Doll and my controller fell on the floor, and it R2 attacked and killed her! I can still level up, but now she's dead. Can I bring her back to life?

This is why I'm terrified to put down my controller. :/ Those triggers are sensitive.

Lol, happened to me as well. But I shot her down with my cannon oops

But no worries, she'll be back once you return to the HD. No penalties.

 

[Savantcore]

Oh man, enthusiasm to 100% the game as much as I can just took a huge dip. Game ended suddenly so now I'm on NG+, where all of the enemies are hard as fuck right from the start. Bah.

Use the coins and map out the area to make sure you've covered it all. It's easy to miss what's down there.

Ha I always feared that would happen to me, so I always made sure to stand the hell away from any npc when putting down the controller.

You just killed the only that cared about you, you truly are a beast now. You monster.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Hey all,

I created a chalice dungeon and it had some pretty decent loot in it:

Spoiler

*Uncanny Beast Claw
*Uncanny Saw Spear
*Lost Hunter Axe? (I remember a third one but this might not be it)

It's a Ailing Loran Root Chalice, so if you've created one of these before, you can just search and go! No mats needed on your end!

Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/bloodborne/comments/3184gy/chalice_dungeon_resources_faq/

Q: I can’t enter the dungeon I want to enter, why?

A: In order to access a Chalice you must place a Chalice of that type first. So if you want to check out an Ailing Loran Root chalice, you have to build one yourself first. For Cursed, Rotted, and Fetid, you need only make one dungeon with the modifier in order to access others.

Q: Do I need the ritual materials and blood echoes to enter other people's chalices?

A: Nope. As long as you have already made that type of chalice once, you can enter others free.

Seed is m77bkxid

There's still some confusion out there on whether you need to keep it going on the creators end, so I'll just keep this thing up for the next week.

Happy hunting!

 

[nib95]

Oh thank the lord, she's back when you re-enter. But it looks like it's a refreshed memory version, as she gave her introduction etc again. I feel extra bad because moments before I killed the other version of her, she'd just told me she loved me….

that's the "B" ending let's call it, you need to eat at least three umbilical cords to get the "A" and most complete ending, you get "C" accepting Gehrmann request

From your answer i thought you got the worst one, wich left me "wut" and then NG+ started lol

I didnt understand or learn how to parry for the entire game. Never really needed it. Until i reached

Gherman

Lets just say i learned how to do it real quick and beat the boss very easily after struggling for a while without it. Parrying made new game plus a joke.

I may be stupid, but wat is parrying? Google is just giving me some fencing images. Can't really make out what it is.

And seriously? Apparantly

Rom is also a boss in one of the dungeons. Only in the dungeon the area is a lot tighter and a lot harder. It's so fucking hard.

 

[Primethius]

Do tell.

Gems for hypermode like effects and there's one arcane spell that enchants your weapon with arcane damage.

Yeap lol.

If it isn't something like +50% when near death I don't think I'll switch out one of the normal attack up ones.

How do you people have issues with the three hunters? You can separate them if you move far enough away and on their own they're not that hard to deal with.

 

[toastyToast]

About the holy blade, how does the arcane scaling work? Is it specifically for when it's runed with an arcane gem or do temporary buffs get boosted too?

Rom is also a boss in one of the dungeons. Only in the dungeon the area is a lot tighter and a lot harder. It's so fucking hard.

A parry is when you shoot an enemy right before he attacks. He'll collapse and be open for a visceral attack like when you land a charge attack in their back.

And yes,

Spoiler

Rom is a boss in the chalice dungeons as well. The arena is a bit smaller but it does have pillars which you can use as cover from his meteor-like spell

Just takes a bit of getting used to.

From what I understand the Arcane scaling only works when you actually put an arcane gem into the weapon. Otherwise it does nothing.

Whenever your heart desires, they don't wear off.

Gems? Why not runes?

If it isn't something like +50% when near death I don't think I'll switch out one of the normal attack up ones.

The gems I have with that effect also increase atk % normally. The extra dmg increase when you're low is in addition to them. But yeah, so far going with the normal 18% atk increases is much better. No idea if the hyper mode gems get better in the chalice dungeons though.

 

[T.O.P]

Spoiler

you can use 'em as soon as you get them, when doesn't matter

you got enough?

 

[toastyToast]

From what I understand the Arcane scaling only works when you actually put an arcane gem into the weapon. Otherwise it does nothing.

So it's either a quality weapon or an arcane weapon. Got it

The items in NG+ are garbage. The enemies are tougher but drop the same lame shit as the reg game. Ugh

There's, like, no point in even fighting them...
