Ya I used up some insight to buy fire/bolt paper
I missed out on like 70 percent of the npc's for beating him early.

I got lasers with 12 insight, but she only fired them once.

Isz Chalice, Depth 5, Layer 3. Prior to fighting her I made 100k echoes by killing 7 enemies in a room.
Care to explain more? Like what NPCs and where are they would I miss out on?

Phew! Just killed
the first time after like 5 tries. >.<
Did it on NG+ because I missed it the first time around. I went from "This shit is impossible!" due to her magic attack to being able to dodge that unharmed. Like with Flamelurker...or O&S...
Such a great feeling!
Anyway, can anyone tell me what to do with the Altar behind the boss? I don't get any options here.

I didnt get any. I always close the app when Im done to make sure I dont get this easy mode crap, wtf.
Yea, those nights can happen. You'll get him. Sometimes it's best to let the game rest a bit, gather thoughts, and come back the next day, with a fresh mind and motivation.
Didn't even get a chance to play this weekend, gonna dive back in tonight, and try to take out the
Forbidden Woods
You haven't seen shit yet. So is the best strat for TOR to
kill the bell maidens first and then try to cheese it with dropping R2 attacks from the 2nd floor or what?
You get a Gesture for turning in your first one. People have turned in thousands when the Dupe glitch was in and nada.
The only thing insight does for that fight is make that field around her visible AFAIK.
It's hard to tell with that fight but it looked like she only did three moves(throw up, basic tentacle attack and headslam).
Insight doesn't affect bosses. Sometimes they just won't do attacks and there's some bugs where they'll get locked into simple attack patterns.

I just ran around the boss without locking on. R1 attack 2-3 times, take a few steps forward, repeat. If the boss staggers, I'd do a charged attack. I buffed my weapon with the

Fighting rom at level 4 is the most annoying thing, tedious and unfair fight that feels like it should be in ds2

The Man With The Golden Dong
It's a tough fight, there's no question. I struggled a bit at level 100.
One thing I did that helped was use Bolt Paper. Seems to stun him for a second longer.
Also, since I used Ludwigs as well, I found that using R2 (one handed) when he was rushing in then following up with a few R1 swipes worked well. Forget two-handed, he'll punish you. Also, if he gets a hit in on you, immediately roll away. Also don't be afraid to break lock-on and run to the opposite side of the map when you need to heal. Also, parrying DOES work in this fight, but it's tricky timing. Also be sure to use the Blunderbuss, anything else is too easily dodged.
And don't worry, after you beat Gehrman if you die on Moon Presence you don't have to fight Gehrman again when you go back.

What's your attack at Level 4? I imagine you upgraded your weapon at much as possible (maybe to +5 or +6) and are using Bolt Paper. Just asking because I might try a Waste of Skin run one day.

I hate him too this is the technique I finally developed to beat him.
Ph1 sit there and charge ludwigs as soon a he starts to move release R2 and he will run into your sword. Just keep doing this over and over.
Ph 2 (when he uses 1h Burial Blade) just keep shooting at him he will stagger ever 3-4 shots run in and spam R1 with your short sword.
Ph 3 Do the game as Ph1 except you will be trading hits make sure to use fire or bolt paper

Also you could farm from mergo's loft middle to the elevator to Mergo boss. With a few moon runes on you could get to level 90 in like 30 minutes of this, and that would make a huge difference. You also get a ton of vials from this. I went from 10 in stash to 99 in 30-40 min.

Still really useful items since they give you Insight when you use them.

I cheezed with co-op. Felt bad, but after 15 tries a and loads of blood vial farming it was my only chance..

I'm there too. Would like to help each other?
I had a hard time with it on my first playthrough, but I feel like I was just doing it wrong by trying to circle strafe and keep hitting the sides/behind. On NG+ I just went in with my Ludwig's Holy Blade in 2H mode and just dodged and ran in and laid down L2 attacks. That causes them to get stunned for V.Atks super fast and they'd just keep getting staggered and died before they could really do anything.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Wait, have I been doing the wrong plunging attack all this time? When I fall down, I press R1... and it sucks. I just assumed they nerfed the hell out of it. But are you supposed to do R2 in the air in order to do the "real" plunging attack?

Farm echoes and buy them. Equip runes to increase echoes from slain enemies and go to town.
I'll try this out. I've been hitting R1 too.

Man, I never would have found this
if someone hadn't told me about it. Must be amazing to be the first person to find this stuff.

Yeah, they're useful for getting Insight. Just saying that there's no point in turning them into her past the first one.
What they are *supposed* to do when you turn them in is up your Rank in the Vileblood Book leaderboards. Unfortunately, due to Dupers, that board is completely and utterly forever meaningless and tainted. The Dupe Glitch totally ruined the PVP ranking book.
I guess they could wipe the stats on it, though someone could still have 198 of them saved up it wouldn't be as bad as people having thousands and thousands and thousands on it.

At the Nightmare Frontier boss and the health system in Bloodborne is started to piss me off. The Estus system in DkS1 was perfect. Dying over and over here means you have to go and farm elsewhere for more health. It's fucking stupid.
Also why can't you level up from the lamp? Repair from the lamp? Travel elsewhere from the lamp? Fucking switch Runes from the lamp? It's all through an area you have to load in and out of.

Anybody want to help me beat
or whatever? I am, I think, level 60 and this fight is frustrating me for some reason. I get him close and then I get killed right near the end. PSN is same as name on here. Message me please .

.Or just use your echoes that you saved up to buy 100+ of them and not have to worry about them for a while.
my two fav spots are around central yharnam, do big ogres and then take elevator down to pig, do guys jut before Oeden.
The other is at the Yahar gul pig fest ...I get both pigs to kill each other and a few dogs and one run in a couple minutes is 13000k echoes. You get some for killing pigs but you can buy more than 20 with proceeds.

Have a hard time understanding some of your probs with the BVs farming. At least (and here probably lies the mistake of my assumption) when youre further into the game, killing the two werewolves, the two big guys by the elevator, big guy with the axe near the first lamp and the big guy surrounded by the three crows and all the creeps along the way in Central Yharnam give me approx. 20 vials for an effort of 5 minutes (ymmv).

Even if they had added all the Chalice Dungeon bosses to the main game, it wouldnt have made the game THAT much longer though. Maybe some hours longer (depends on how much one play each day of course, and on how long one uses to beat the bosses, but its not like those additional bosses would make the game a whole lot longer).
From what you wrote, i'm curious to what you were expecting from the game's length. It seems to me at first glance that you had an almost unrealistic expectiation for how much content the game would have, especially if this is your most disappointing game ever, meaning that you most likely had really high expectations for this game (i dont know how many games that you have played though, but i assume that you have played quite a few games at least). Have you played any of the other Souls games by the way? They really dont have that much more content in comparison when it comes to the length of the games, at least from what i can remember. If they have, it doesnt take several of more weeks or something to go through it compared to Bloodborne.
Personally i will end up having played Dark Souls 2 a lot more than i will end up playing Bloodborne though, but that is because i liked the world in Dark Souls 2 quite much (i beat it 6 times or so and did much co-op), not because the game has a lot more content. Dark Souls 2 might have more content now that 3 DLC packs are added though, but i played it a lot before the DLC oacks were released. I like the world in Bloodborne too just to have mentioned that, but i think i like Dark Souls 2 better in that regard.
I also think that the quality in Bloodborne is excellent. When it comes to content though, i wish that the game had a bit more NPCs story lines, and it would be nice if there were maybe 2-3 more covenants as well. I never really cared that much about the covenants in Dark Souls 1 and 2, but it would have added something extra to Bloodborne.

Can I beat Martyr Logarius at level 57 or should I come back later? I got wrecked by him on the first attempt.
That works fine but it's incredibly dull to do. The main issue is how BVs seem to drop in abundance at certain spots and not at all elsewhere, so you run dry if you get stuck on a boss, and it's a massive pace killer to stop what you're doing and refocus like that.
