Is currently staging a hunger strike outside Gearbox HQ while trying to hate them to death
Total newb here with some questions if someone doesn't mind. I posted this in the thread for newcomers but this may be a better place to ask.
I have beaten the witches and VA easily enough, had a go at the forest but it seems really hard (I'm level 38 I think). I have 31 insight, should I spend some to make things easier on myself?
I got the Item to open the door to the right of the cathedral, is it worth going back. Also is there a way to open the door at the top of Odeon Cathedral?
Can I get through the game without doing chalice dungeons and/or multiplayer?
Also I don't suppose anyone can point me towards a non-spoilery guide to the lore? I know the series is known for it's minimalist plots, but I haven't a clue what's going on.

But see, I do litterally no damage, so ive been using my gun to stun then front stab. That does decent damage. But then, its like his moveset changes to do what ever he wants. That grab attack gets me every single time when he has maybe 1-2 front stabs left.
Im out of bullets, and I dont want to grind for more.
I wish there were weapons that actually did damage and that I could upgrade past 3.

I was thinking it was an area at first, but then realized I had explored this area for hours, and there'd be no way it was a new interconnected area.
Thank you! I'll look for it now!
EDIT: LOL that was quick, found it! This cut scene is beautiful <3

I dont know why it happens that way. I
just know I went there before Rom and fought her on 2nd playthrough. On 1st playthough I did not discover the clinic until after I beat Rom and she was crying on the table. killing her on the table got me a cord, killing her as an NPC battle got me a rune

Parry, bsb tends to raise and pull back its right arm to swipe at you, it's easy to spot and time, stagger it with a parry and run right in for a visceral attack, do it like 5 times and it's dead meat.
Use your index finger for parry, your timing will be better because middle finger reflexes generally would be slower.

Not even close to Demon souls.
actually I was watching a really in depth analysis of why dark souls 2 isn't a good game. Does a far better job explaining in detail. Well worth a watch)

If you're doing pitiful damage, level up skill or strength (what's your weapon?) to hit harder. But like I said, keep dodging left while in front of him. His dash attack is well choreographed.
Still a game you shouldn't pass up if you like these games. It's community/online functionality is way better than any of the games.

Wait, C
is OPTIONAL? WTF, this entrance alone is worth making it required!

This. Have antidotes equipped and ready too. He's really easy to dodge. I beat his harder Chalice version first try. I didn't even need to heal until halfway through the battle. Maybe try practicing dodging and learning his moveset next time instead of trying to beat him. You'll get more comfortable with him.
I had a similar problem. Take care of
the snipers on both sides of the upper level and then don't attack the boss head on, attack from the sides
Fire/Bolt also help if you can manage it.

Killed the three hunters in
by dividing them and luring near the lamp.

I dunno if it is even possible to take on all of them at the same time with legit fight.

I'll be on again tomorrow anyways so could try then? Damn her health was done to 10 and we both died! She's a toughie! Fire Paper helps though for sure!

I actually recommend doing coop for the boss so you can keep practice fighting him. It's what I did and I can rek BBS in a minute. His chalice dungeon version was trivialized by then.
Defeated the Shadow of Narnam bosses

Not an overally difficult boss, but spacial awareness was pretty important to ensure you didn't get hit by the long range attacks while fighting up close. Luckily the invincibility frames when performing a visceral attack helped alot with it.
also this game has an obession with fisting arses. i know you can do it with the pig, but you can also do it with the big naked guy in the chalice dungeons

I really think this is an extraordinarily bad way of fighting BSB if you're already having a hard time with him.
In my opinion the safest way is to simply to try and stay close on his sides at all times and whale away on him, ideally with a fire buff on your weapon. Stay at most at mid-range to him, and avoid facing him head on at all costs as although it allows you to parry his swipe it also opens you up to his strongest attacks (grab, and dashing swipe).
If you need to heal roll away and hide behind a pillar, then go back to smacking his sides. He will fall, easily if you do this.

Any of the starting weapons should be doing decent enough damage if you've upgraded them as much as you can with regular shards. If that's still not enough you could use fire paper, or oil+molotovs to speed up the end of the fight. Or you could explore other parts of the game, level up a bit and come back later, to raise your damage some more.

A huge amount of this game is optional, even before getting into the Chalice stuff.
I would almost complain that the game seems to corral you into optional areas at times, while the actual progression areas can be surprisingly obtuse. I think the castle is actually the only time I found an optional area and actually felt like it was optional; almost every other time I thought areas were optional that weren't, and vice-versa.
I'm just making my way through Y
Where is he? Will telling me spoil the game in some way?
ahar'gul and I've just encountered The One Reborn, fair to say I booked it with my 40k souls and will prepare to fight him now. I know that Darkbeast Paarl is supposed to be in this area as I was following Lobos through his play through and he encountered him soon after he was kidnapped.

what i did was walk slowly to the guy in the center with the claw and.. no shirt?
backstab with ludwig and visceral attack, i tried to continue fighting him there without alerting the other two
but they all came at me eventually but claw guy died before the other two killed me.
then i came back and figured out where the other two stood. (tonitrus guy is on the stairs facing up, so you can circle around to get behind,
other guy is standing by the front door so i circled around from outside and snuck in through the front door) I snuck up on each one and backstab/visceral.
made fighting them relatively easy when i could take out half their health before they even take a swing.

stand back out of range and hit him in the nose with a long reach weapon. Each time you hit him roll 2-3 times left to avoid his counters. Patience wins this fight. I also start unload cannon balls with blood bullets and bone marrow at 20% or so.

He's much easier to deal with in an endless void, since he's always backing away from you and the little shits leash within a certain distance from him, so there's a sweet spot you can find between him and the mobs that lets you deal with them and make him pop his rising projectiles that have the sweet warning of where they'll come from.
But all that is just a strategy tweak, the bump to health and damage output of his minions combined with managing your position relative to him, the little shits and the walls of the arena make it way less forgiving as far as execution goes.

Well i was lucky with them.
I got to the first one R2 charge attack with Ludwig and then Visceral Attack.He died with a few hits then.The other two i used the Axe just running around the stairs and trying to hit them with the r2 attack of the Axe

It totally is. Ludwig's blade + beast pellets + fire/bolt paper = hunters getting wrecked.
I second this strategy, Worked for me. Fire buff on +3 cane made him pretty easy and I only got 2 visceral attacks off on him. Also anytime I got below half health I ran away and healed/antidote. Good luck!

It is responsible for my first and seemingly only rage-quit of the game.

How many people here knew about the glitch shortcut you can take to jump over the fence to get to the back of the clinic/woods?
CouchMaster

I tried that, but couldn't kill the shorty before his buddies showed up and wrecked me. So I just decided to take the safe route. I was even prepared to take them out on the other side of lamp and burn them
in that laser fire

I dont go near them unless I have the +200 frenzy rune equipped.
Tell me about it. My best advice is wear frenzy resistant gear/runes and run past them.
Lee Chaolan

Took on them on with a co-op partner. Still not a fair fight, 3-2.
We killed one, my partner died, then I finished off the other two. So it was fun.
Even at 387 Frenzy resistance, I'm still forced to pop a bunch of sedatives and vials. They're insane.

it's pointless though unless you're speed running or want to get to cainhurst fast.

I just saw the sixth video of ENBs playthrough:
How on earth should it be possible to find the lost hubworld without YouTube?
Lee Chaolan

Huh. I just snuck up behind them and killed them with two consecutive charged R2 Axe swings.
Of course sedatives were on standby.

I hate that guy. He kept spamming his gun whenever I had him down to 10% health or less and would kill me after 2 hits or would parry me. I accidentally came across an exploit to cheese him when I ran off to recoup and heal. If you want to know:
Lure him out the door, then block him from getting back in. His AI will keep trying to go inside and he won't attack, allowing you to just beat him to death.
