1 more. The chalice you recieved for beating Amygdala contains the queen at the 3rd level. Even though it is depth 5 it will feel like easy mode after that defiled chalice.

I disagree. I've both heard and used "one shot" refer to the first one a lot (especially in MMOs "We just one shot that boss", etc).

Who wants to help me do L
? I'm level 57. Also what damage type are his attacks? I lose like 70% every from every hit.
ogarius
Holy shit, that actually helped. Just kept rushing in and killed him in 3 minutes time.
Thanks!tokilamockingbrd

he is referring to
the Living String which you recieve from killing the brain (you have to go down a elevator to get to it. Also dont forget to use the make contact emote in front of the brain for the +30% echos rune)
it's not missable... what are you talking about

HELL YES
Bloodtinge is related to damage done by firearms. Arcane is something like magic? It increases arcane damage (fire and bolt damage) and allows you to use hunter's tools.

But what stats should I upgrade? Based on what they are now.

Yeah, seriously. Anyone who seriously thinks you mean the other doesn't understand this game.
"One hit".
Where is that enemy exactly? Apologies I haven't made it very far into
either of the Nightmare areas.
That's one emphatic yes. Are there any other good options?
Glad to help! ^^Holy shit, that actually helped. Just kept rushing in and killed him in 3 minutes time.

yes. Its scales skill at A at +7 or +8. Mercy Blades are another option if you go that build they scale skill at S at +9 or was it 10...
Reposting because it didn't get an answer:

re: Skill weapons, the Saw Spear (the one in the sewers) starts at D/D but will go to D/C at the first bump (even C/B by the end maybe? havent taken anything above +6), I've been using it since I found the Cane way too slow.

Yup, and whenever.

How does skill scale stuff?
I have a Ludwig's Holy Blade @ +8 with Skill @ 20. Should I keep pumping into skill?
My Strength @ 30.

its hard to explain. But you cant do it until after you kill
Micolash.
I suggest you Youtube "kill brain" on youtube.
Also the only Blood Stone found in the game (outside of chalices) is in the same area you go to pull the level to drop the brain

Use them before the final boss. Do any other content before hand.
Skill and strength both work well with LHB. I recommend you keep leveling them.
Ludwig's scales equally with strength and skill, so it's worth putting points into both for that weapon.
The same way strength does.just look at the scaling letters on your weapons.
Ludwig's scales the same with strength and skill.

Which was primarily taken from action games, which BB is. The only reason it is used that way in an MMO sense is that it is inherently understood that bosses almost never can be one-shot. So the crowd takes the term and stretches its use.
One-shot makes far more sense and is proper to its original use by meaning, one-shot, one kill.
When a game truly has real one-shots, using a term for dual usage is silly.

You just have to hold R2 for the charge attack. Holding R1 isn't necessary.
Edit- also, use your gun! You can fire while an enemy is in mid-swing, and stagger it. Press R1 while you're standing directly in front of it and you'll do a visceral attack, which does a ton of damage.
Yeah, imprecise wording on my part. I meant hold R2 with the tap R1 follower. The visceral attack too - learned that from the intro video.
Highest "Skill" weapons (stats at +10):
Blade of Mercy - S in Skill. B in Arcane, though the Arcane hardly matters. At +10 it only has 60 Arcane ATK and with 50 in Arcane you only get +35 bonus ATK on it.
Threaded Cane - E Strength, A Skill.
Reiterpallasch - E Strength, A Skill, D Bloodtinge. Bloodtinge scaling only affects the "Gun" Attack that it has.
Burial Blade - D in Strength, B in Skill, B in Arcane and is in the same boat as the Blade of Mercy. 60 Arcane and only +35 bonus ATK at 50 in the Arcane stat. Arcane Scaling Sucks.
Rifle Spear - D Strength, B Skill, B Bloodtinge. Like the Reiterpallasch, Bloodtinge only affects the "Gun" Attack that it has.
Ludwig's Holy Blade - B in Strength and B in Skill. It's a both weapon!
Stake Driver - C in Strength, C in Skill. Like the Ludwig's it's a both weapon.
Saw Spear - D in Strength, C in Skill.
And now for the Chikage, which requires a bit more of an explanation.
Chikage - E in Strength, B in Skill. 1H mode only uses these two stats. It also has a S in Bloodtinge which gets added in in 2H mode. On the character screen it only shows the 1H mode Atk.
Now, even though the 1H mode Atk isn't the highest in the game given equal Blood Gems, and 50 in all stats and at +10, Chikage's 1H mode and 2H mode both hit harder for their base swings than any other weapon in the game. 1h mode vs a 1h mode and 2h mode vs a 2h mode of course.
For Example: Using 2x Phys ATK UP +20.3% and 1x Phys ATK UP +19.8% Gems my Chikage +10 has 184 base and +378 Phys Bonus. So it has a ATK rating of 562. It also has Blood Bonus of +432 which gets added in 2H mode for a total of 994.
Now using the exact same Gems on my Ludwig's +10: 200 Base, +617 Bonus for 817 Total. (I have better gems than this, but Ludwig's and Chikage use different types and I wanted to make them identical for this example).
Despite Ludwig's ATK being higher, Chikage's 1H mode hits harder than Ludwig's 1H mode by a bit. And in 2H mode Chikage obviously hits harder with its much higher ATK total.
So, Skill is definitely really important to Chikage's damage.
Holy blade has scaling in str and skill. Soft cap is 25 and hard 50. You get best damage scaling increase 1-25 and less 26-50. So, yeah, increase skill to 25. Then, either until 50.

I struggled to get used to the Cane in the beginning, but that was because I used the axe on the first playthrough. Once I got used to it though I really liked it. Especially the whip with it's range later on is very usefull for some mobs. Now I run with the cane and blade of mercy both.

Well you can pump into both up until a certain which is the soft cap and at that point you should pump into whichever one you feel lIke doing. For example I'm gonna pump into strength over skill now since my secondary weapon is the wheel and that eventually scales S with strength
Try to stay behind her all the time and be aggressive. You can stop her laser attack if you hit fast enough while she's building up her power.

It depends what your alt weapon is since Ludwig's scales the same to both.
My 1st char Tonitrus was my alt weapon(it rocks certain bosses) to I got my strenght to 30 before I messed with skill too much.
My 2nd char I used cane so I went with skill to almost 50 before I started leveling Str past 16 (the requirement for Ludwigs).
If you only use Ludwig's just alternate putting points into skill and str after 25 to get the best effect.
Okay, missable was maybe the wrong word to use, but it's still hard to find during a first playthrough. Most people will finish the game without even knowing it exists.
Or maybe I'm just shit at finding things.
Watching him play is fucking maddening.

Realistically it doesn't though haha. You can keep complaining, but people are going to keep using it in these games.
And it is one-shot, one kill. You beat it your first time trying.

Thanks for all the info! Will have to test out the Chikage now.
