Question about Chalice Dungeons.

Do dungeons scale with NG+? I have access to the end game and I'm hesitant to complete it because I hear that the dungeons get a lot harder as you progress. I want the dungeon related trophies, so is it worth it to complete the layers before NG+ is activated?

They don't scale.

No, Chalice dungeons don't scale in difficulty in NG+.

They don't scale.

Thanks!

This is my first Souls type game and now I understand why people enjoy these games so much. There's nothing better than the feeling of anxiety and fear while exploring a new area, with a bunch of blood saved up, hoping for a lamp/shortcut to be close by. When I get the platinum in Bloodborne, I'll be purchasing Dark Souls II.
 
Wow, first time that happened. I rang the bell to help someone, but it said they were unsavory, so I actually invaded them.

Are you in the Vileblood covenant ?

If yes, then Executioner Covenant members are enemies, even when they summon you for help.
 
Platinum Achieved!

It might be just because it's the last thing I did, but I am really positive on the Deep Chalice bosses. You have to master the mechanics well beyond what the regular game made you do. The game was fantastic.

Final Rating - Spoon for soup.
 
But won't she get killed by the nun?

Only if you use Ariana's blood instead of the nun's blood. I think if you use the nun's blood first, she won't get jealous and kill Ariana.

From the fextralife wiki:

Adella will kill Arianna if you choose the Arianna's tainted blood over her own out of jealousy. The trigger for this event is the fight with Rom, the Vacuous Spider. You can safely use Arianna's Blood before this point but you must make sure to accept and have a vial of Adella's Blood before killing Rom (you can only accept it if you do not have Arianna's Blood in your inventory). (if game glitches out she may kill arianna before the defeat of rom

I can confirm that
I killed Rom without ever accepting blood from Adella and Arianna survived until the end of her questline. I killed her myself along with her "baby".
 
Alright I've beaten the game and no fucking joke the hardest boss is Cleric Beast. His health is ridiculous proportionate to damage at that point in the game and he hits so goddamn hard. Starting a new dude really is like being a child all over again here, fuck.....

He's optional and it could be bad enemy placement by From. I mean the 2 overleveled werebeasts should be a decent clue on not going there first but I and almost everyone did it anyway. Beating him as second boss should be much easier provided you use the stuff from FG to upgrade. But the thing is you have to pass his area to reach FG who is much further down the road, not the other way around.
 
you've been killing her descendants
So...
she's been breeding with dogs
?
Ewwww

My favourite message near those mobs was, "Oh, evolution!" xD

Ok, so who the hell was the first person to get the 30% moon rune by ? Like, how did anyone figure that out!
I was wondering the same thing.
I saw all those messages about "you must accept contact" and "contact waits ahead" etc., complete with the gesture, so I thought okay, why not... and bam a rune. And I thought "how did they know?!". I'm guessing someone tried that gesture in front of any alien looking thing, haha. I've been trying it in various places myself but no luck yet.
 
I had Abhorrent Beast down to less than 5%. I fucking had him down to less than 5%. I was on a fucking roll.

And the the worst possible thing that could happen happened.

My controller died.

My goddamn controller chose to die mere seconds away from victory.

I had to turn away as it mercilessly killed my hunter. Enjoy your cheap ass victory!

I couldn't reach my backup DS4 in time. Bastard can kiss my ass! I ain't going back any time soon.
I fucking hate when this happens. How on Earth does the DS4 go through so much juice?
 
Haha, I just attempted the glitch shortcut from Central Yarnham to get to the back of Iosefka's clinic/entrance to the Forbidden Woods.

Took me about 20 tries but finally got it xD
 
Man this game is awesome. Just saw a cut scene I hadn't seen even though I've already beaten the game multiple times.

After beating Rom I was sent to the room with the Amygdala and it killed me by picking me up and crushing me. Afterwards a cut scene triggered where someone off screen (Micolash?) started laughing and saying that the Amygdala should go easy on a poor bastard. Then I spawned in the lecture room.

I imagine a lot of people probably know about this already, but damn was that cool.
 
So should I do this:

- Talk to the Nun (although she won't talk to me for some reason
- Get Nuns blood
- Go and talk to Arianna, send her to the church, then accept her blood?

The voice was Patches. He was also the one who gave you the Tonsil Stone that triggered the cutscene.

You need some sort of Church set clothing on to talk to the Nun, like the Black Church set or whatnot. Not fully sure what triggers the Nun to kill Arianna other than taking Arianna's blood over the Nun's... So I would just save them both but only take the Nun's blood I guess
 
So many ppl getting Platinum. Its fair to say Bloodborne is the easiest "Souls" game to obtain one.

I think it is. You don't have to max all weapons (which would be hard because max level can't be farmed through a single story playthrough at all). The hardest part is probably the chalice stuff, but you don't have to do everything from this as well it seems.

You can send arianna to the church at any given time, doesn't matter. Just don't accept her blood and accept the nun's. Also you can only have one person's blood at a time.
 
Any tips for the defiled
amygdala
? This guys kicking my ass but the
watchdog
wasn't too much trouble :s

I expected this to be easier after all the trouble
watchdog
gave people and the relative ease I beat him with.
 
Anyone here doing a base level run? Trying to decide which weapon to use. I figure most of the starting weapons are a bit too stamina intense.

Just reiterating that I've never accepted Adella's blood and
Arianna survived til the end of her questline.
Whether this is a trigger or not it doesn't appear to be consistent at this time.

My hypothesis is that
if you accept Arianna's blood before Adella comes to the chapel she won't get mad. That's the order I did things in.

Cool OK, thanks guys. Will Arianna then give me the
3rd umbilical cord?
