Think I was in double digits for amount of tries. Summoning took around 15 minutes I'd say
All the summons I did get bar the last person died trying to help me (before I died).

I've been Axe only, currently have it up to +5 I believe.
However, yesterday I realised there are a few scenarios it's really not that useful for. And I'm going for a mainly strength build, so...
Kirkhammer buyin' time. Already got it up to +3. Have it up to +4 soon. Then imma run through Central Yarnham to get used to the moveset. Seems great, and Rapier was the only weapon I used in DeS and DaS, so it'll be nice to return to a pointy sword on the R2 attack.
I had a hiatus, too and beat Amelia last night! Fourth try I think. No co-op.
Don't use lock on, and be aggressive. More specific useful stuff which I found helpful (not fully spoiler but will hide anyway):
Never stand directly behind her, always behind to one side, flanking. Almost all her attacks are really easy to check (diagonal roll past her) unless her hair's everywhere in the way, then it's difficult to see her limbs. Put some distance between her if you're not sure what to do. The instant you're around her after dodging an attack, start wailing on her. She gets stunned quite easily. Get used to her repeated hand-slam attack though, you have to keep dodging to avoid that. If you wail on her limbs enough you'll stun her, opening her head for a visceral. I only managed that once and fluffed the two other opportunities, but still beat her.
Make sure you've levelled up your weapons a bit. If you haven't do a few runthroughs of Cathedral Ward and make sure to explore every cranny - there's some really valuable shit in there.

You'll be fine.
If you are interested, there is a really easy way to kill him... "cheesing" him, if you will. Highlight the spoiler if you want to know/try it.
Just hang around him a bit and as soon as he whips out a two handed stance *immediately* disengage and ran back outside the door and watch as he basically kills himself, lol
Ahhhhhhhh I'd love to if I only haven't spent all of my Twin Blood Stones on Rifle Spear and Blades of Mercy.........

Judging by your stat I think it'll be best if you focus on STR first so you can more effectively wield Ludwig (equal scaling STR/SKL B/B at its most powerful form) and (especially) Tonitrus (scales well with Strength (B) and sucks real bad at Skill (E)). My opinion though.
Where's a good place for soul farming/bullet farming? I'm on Logarious now (because Mensis Nightmare is fucking difficult for me now at level 70) and I've run out of bullets. Usually I'd farm vials at Central Yarnham, but that run only provides four bullets per run, which isn't enough.
2 more marks await me before i completely anihilate this game. Bloodletting beast and the Queen in great Pthumeru Chalice dungeon. Everything else is dead. NG+ also complete.
So, without further ado: Dear Bloodletting Beast, my dearest Queen: Your souls are mine!!
What an awesome game.

Lecture building first floor. In the room with lots of the enemies. They often drop 3xbullets.
For echoes and bullets I done a few runes starting on the second floor and then going down to the first and then back to second floor, rinse/repeat. Nets about 40-50k with moon rune and a good amount of bullets.

I can reliably get her down to 30% using only around 5-6 vials each time, then a combination of total bullshit seems to get me every time.

I'm level 30 and I think the next boss is Amelia. I'm not sure if I should press on, grind a few levels or try one of the chalice dungeons next. I have only been using the saw cleaver so far, is Ludwigs sword worth saving up for?

Apparently a cannon with bone ash and any weapon with electricity helps. I couldn't do either as I'm skill/BT build.

Many considers it as one of the best weapons in the game.
You'll need to equally split STR and SKL for it to reach its full potential though.
You can go to various places right now though if you wish to explore more.
You can buy bolt paper.

Thanks. I'm new to the series so my points have all gone into endurance, vitality and strength, would Ludwig still be worth getting?

We need an item that makes the beast dance when you trigger it. Dance party in Yarnham all night long ! Even boss should dance, like the disco ball weapon in Ratchet ToD

Yeap I say. Its requirement is 16 Strength and 12 Skill, just try it
It only gives equal scaling to STR and SKL when upgraded to level 7. And even if you don't like it, Tonitrus, yet another weapon many people consider as the best, heavily favors STR so yeah.

Personally, I found the Axe to be much, much better due to its better range and amazing R2 charge attack. Ludwig's is stronger, but I have mixed feelings on it due to the move set (used Ludwig's in NG+ and it got me pretty far though I regretted not maxing out my Axe).
Just a FYI, these are numbers you should aim for/stop at in terms of stats (soft caps I think)
Vitality: 30
Endurance: 40 (stamina maxed out at 160)
Strength: 25
Skill: 25
Not sure on bloodtinge and arcane, but would assume 25 is where the soft cap is well.
Haha I really don't like to cheese, but I had to see what would happen when I read you describing it. That was hilarious.
isn't it like, once you get to lv 25 it's like half benefit?
I entered the
.Nope'd out there for now, trying upper cathedral ward first.
btw my Ludwig blade is getting crazy powerful. I noticed it has SKL scaling of B now too, so my next mission is to get that stat close to 30 as well. I have a +18% attack rune (!) and I'm dealing some serious damage.

ightmare of Mensis is such a pain in the ass. I hate that frenzy bar, the enemies hit hard....Attempted the area 4 times today and the best I got was inside the building where I got fucked up by the spiders. I'm getting too frustrated--might just save the area for the weekend when I have more time to dedicate to it.

Can't use it on the Chikage or the rapier lol. Bloodtinge weapons.

Stay behind cover to not get hit by frenzy. Bait enemies. Or run past them. Same for spiders. It's the best level in the game once you figured it out.

Got a chance to play some more of this over the weekend and really like it, maybe more so than Dark Souls because I feel like a total badass and like I am actually good at the game when I stun bosses or larger enemies with the pistol.
Managed to beat my third, fourth and fifth bosses
as well as completing the first chalice dungeon. Of the three bosses the fourth took way more tries than I had hoped and caused me to swear far more than I would have liked in front of my parents and grandfather
and the fifth I had very proudly killed on my first try. I do give some of my success to the fire stone on my saw and a lucky gunshot, that fire rune did cause me some trouble on
.
Worked my way somewhat into the lost woods area and after some progress and sloppy deaths I "wandered" into the lecture theatre before I had to leave.
Will be about a month before I get to play again and I am already wishing I had just a bit more time to explore more or take one another boss.
I have a few questions though, if I have the fire stone on my weapon do the other physical attack up gems not stack onto the fire damage? Also and possibly a bit spoilerish as it involves some items you find,

Blood-stained Beast, The Witch of Henwick and Vicar Amelia respectively
seriously, that bind and visceral attack got me way too many times
the final boss of the chalice dungeon for very obvious reasons

should I be putting some points into Arcane? I got a couple of items that require it and consume bullets, the one from the lecture halls said something about summoning that sounded useful.
Need some help in Y
There's a lift at the bottom of the level near what I suspect is the TOR fight that looks like it takes me back to the first lamp, but it isn't working when I step on it. The lever next to it says that it's not currently operable. Am I just missing something or has the lift bugged out?

Yeah R2 with the axe is nice but I found that the hammer will stun enemies more often then the Axe with regular attacks. While the axe may just slice through an enemy, a lot of times the hammer will actually knock them back and stop their incoming attack, setting them up for the next attacks.
I used to switch back and forth between the Kirkhammer and Axe for different scenarios, but ever since I would say Blood Starved Beast or so it has been exclusively HammerTime
Especially once I realize the running R2 switch was a wide sweeping baseball swing. Love that attack. A running R1 is also useful as you push the guy which almost always stops their movement, leaving room for your next moves.
Both are of course great, but I've moved more toward the hammer. Especially with the massive damage it does and I'm only to +6 at the moment. For an example I killed one of the 3 hunters that you fight together in 3 hits lol. First one was a charged R2, 2nd was a riposte, third was another charged R2. Dead. Then baseball swinged the incoming Cane using dude and knocked him across the room, which I then ran up and blasted him in the face with my cannon. Was down to like half health at that point lol. Was great.
Hammer + Cannon +6 = awesome. I am using Echoes these days to buy bullets lol, since the cannon uses 10 each. You only get 2 shots per run really unless you get lucky and a ton of them drop.
I am trying to find the route to a pickup I can see, but not get.
It's in old yarham, if you go down the ladder where the npc hunter was, to the left there are some stairs with two ghouls, on the left there is a hole in the wall with a pickup inside, I can't figure out how to get in there, any help?

When you go down the same ladder, go right and fall down the side of the building. Just be careful but you'll be able to get down and enter.
From the ladder that has an
NPC hunter

I wouldn't say its a difficulty spike so much as it forces you to play the game in a slightly different way. You can't methodically clear enemies one by one anymore and have to dash through, kill the special mob and then clear the enemies. It's really not hard at all, like most things like Bloodborne the hard part is the realization of what you have to do.

They wont level up. You will find stronger reskin of the same enemies in later zone, but if you go back to the first zone, they won't have leveled up with you and you can farm easier for items there
all my drawings haven't been able to escape my wanting to be playing bloodborne at home lately.
Can't unsee Dr. Robotnik. Cool drawing
You got counter-hit. If your attack is interrupted it does bonus damage (same goes for your attacks as well).
Ahh that's a good idea. I'll give that a shot, cheers!

2 things
1, i cant make my mind up on the armour in this game stat wise so for general play i just fashionborne it (currently the bone ash armour omfg it is so god damn sexy)
Has anyone found a decent set up for general use or do you guys just fashion it up when not on bosses?
2 my stats this game still hurts my head on how it works and i do not think that will change until my friend gets it and explains it to me like the retard i am.
so i use the cane +10 as all other weapons aside from ludwigs are meh for me and i use the repeater pistol, not putting stats in anything else just to use evlyn.
at level 93 my stats are this
vit 34
end 24
str 20
skill 40
blood 10
arcane 15
I went with skill for the cane as it is a A i thought it would upgrade to s when i got +10 but nope
I do enjoy ludwigs but it is cumbersome i assu e this is because my str is low?
What should i lvl next because i have no idea what I'm doing lol my hp is 1193 i assume i should work on this for chalice dungeons but i cant find any runes to up it well i got a plus 5% but i choose to use a plus 15% stamina instead.

Is this a design flaw?
Like where you have to drop down several sections, losing a portion of your health as you make your way down to the bottom in the
on the bottom there's some
Is this the way it supposed to be played?
