Get rid of the Arcane gems, and pump in Str/Skill. Str > Skill, but both are near same in scaling by end.

If I go this way, just wondering. Do str and skill have to be equally upgraded or is just one or other?

 

[LiK]

After I beat Bloodborne, should I move onto the new version of Dark 2 on PC? Dark 1 on PC? or Demon's on PS3?

I recommend going in order of release. Demon's, Dark, Dark2.

I just beat Cleric Beast on NG+ and I'm looking to expand my repertoire a bit for my second playthrough. What stats should I invest in, and what weapons other than the Hunter's Pistol and Hunter's Axe would be fun for my build? Thanks!

Vit: 31
End: 40
Str: 40
Skill: 13
Blood: 7
Arcane: 8

I find the holy sword pairs up well. I used Axe+Scythe in NG+ with the scythe replacing the axe for most situations. Im now 150 with something like 50VIT, 40 endurance, 40 STR, 40 Skill, 16 blood, 16 arcane. I was working on getting the last 2 to 20, but since platinumming Im taking a break.

So I just killed the BSB and have a question of where to go.

Spoiler

The chalice says I have to perform some sort of ritual in the Hunter's Dream and Gehrman says I have to go to Oedon's Chapel but where is that chapel? I haven't opened the huge gate yet but the key costs 10k and I've read somewhere you don't really need the key to open the gate.

Any tips?

[GulAtiCa]

If I go this way, just wondering. Do str and skill have to be equally upgraded or is just one or other?

Either one. Scales with both at same time. I recommend leveling both up till Str/Skill 25 and then whatever one you want. Since 25 is the soft cap, just level up either and then focus on the one you want.

Mine is a +9 weapon with like +360 damage thanks to my gems & like 35 in Str and 25ish in Skill.

Sounds good, I'll play around with it.

Yeah I want to get into the Chalice Dungeons soon, and I've heard that some of them are much harder than the main game so it sounds like a good shout.

 

[Aaronology]

BSB might be my favorite boss of the game. I just beat him for the 31st time in coop and at this point I can go the entire match without getting hit once. I'm getting so full of myself that I'm starting to get annoyed when people who summon me get in the way and die.

I think in a bit I might try doing it without armor...

I'm sure there is some correlation there.

Iosefka does appear to be pregnant at the end (if you kill her you get part of the umbilical cord, same as with Arianna in Tomb of Oedon). The wet nurse seems to be an old one that protects women who birth more old ones.

Level 100, able to fight the final boss but I'm holding off so I can milk my first playthrough as much as possible. So I started the Chalice Dungeons. Started off really easy but on my 3rd Dungeon it started to get a little harder which was nice.

The choir turned the kids in the orphanage into aliens in an attempt to make a Great One. Since it is implied that Mergo dies after you kill the wet nurse and it gives you an umbilical cord, Mergo was probably close to being one. Iosefka is a member of the choir. I just put both things together.

Just hit and run on him... wait for him to execute a combo then run in and whack away, then run back once you run out of stamina. It also helps a LOT to back him into a corner/wall. He cant hit you back and you can just lay into him.

Get the wheel. It scales with strength and is blunt damage. at this point you're too late to make a decent blood or arcane build so stick with strength.

A bit. Points spent in attributes you aren't using are wasted. You could be stronger.

Did you get there before Rom? If so, that's why. You need the red moon so the Hypogean Gaol lamp is broken and you have to go to Yahar'gul through the main gate.

That's the story of most souls game bosses. If you panic and try to do too much dodging or hitting you die. Gotta stay calm and play it smart.

I did this at the end of Eileen's quest.

It was an epic showdown...although the guy tore me a new one a few times, it was so much fun and I was kind of bummed out when it was over.

Any tips for Logarias? Only tried once and got him down half way and he just went off. I was hiding behind the columns a few times but his scythe went through them.

Run past the spiders, hit him on his side as much as you can - once spiders get close run away, then run back and hit him more, once he starts summoning ice shards just do rolls around him until he throws down the last shard, then run in, hit him more, and run away... very easy to do, just a big hit and run fight

You can get 4 shots with blood bullets, enough to kill a lot of bosses using Bone Marrow Ash. It isn't too much, the cannon is actually OP.

After I beat Bloodborne, should I move onto the new version of Dark 2 on PC? Dark 1 on PC? or Demon's on PS3?

Demon's is almost as fast as BB, so if you haven't played the games before it would be an easier transition. Then Dark 1 then new Dark 2, unless you have friends you want to play with in Dark 2.
