Important part: Your discovery stat affects your drop rates. Without boosting it, you'll find the drops to really adhere to the term "rare." Equip both of the available 'eye' Caryll runes before you start farming, as they boost your discovery.

I've wondered about this too. Forgot about it until I saw it on a LP this morning.

I tried going there a few times during the progression of the game and nada.

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

You can. There is a spiral staircase in that room and you can just run back and forth while spamming axe R2

 

[Randam]

Does anyone know how to open the door in cathedral ward thats down the stairs from the big ball and chain guy?

I've wondered about this too. Forgot about it until I saw it on a LP this morning.

I wonder. When watching Epic Name Bro's walkthrough, he went by and scoffed at it saying "No". I wonder what he meant.

what?

didn't ENB tell us and even show us, where that door lent??

to the bridge you fought cleric beast
you can see the bridge, when you stand where the big ball chain guy was.

These two hunters in yahargul are pissing me the fuck off.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

I'm level 73. Is that plent high enough to tackle Mensis?

Maybe I should go back and do the Chalices. I only did the first two levels of the first one.

It's decent. I'll warn you not to get caught in a combo. You'll most likely die since the enemies hit hard. The la la bitches drop around 12k echoes. But you can easily die to them.

Chalices won't net a lot of echoes until the later ones.

I'm usually not a fan either, and always prefer to make a new character over doing NG+, but this time

I really hate Chalice Dungeons though. This shit is gonna kill PVP for me, having to farm gems there will suck so much.

 

[Primethius]

What do beast pellets do?

You do more damage. When you use the item, it starts a meter which increases with every hit (and decreases over time if not attacking). As the meter increases, you do more damage but also take more damage.

So in the three hunter encounter for example, I had Ludwig's Blade at +9. With beast pellets and Ludwig's innate ability to stagger like crazy, I managed to get quite a few hits of on the hunters and did crazy amounts of damage before having to back off to regain stamina. Rinse and repeat a couple of times and the hunters were down fairly quick.

[genjiZERO]

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:

Spoiler

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.

Hahaha, so check it:

Spoiler

I did like you said - I tried luring him out of the door. But right before the steps he pulled out his sword which started giving him damage. But instead of following me he started walking backwards loosing HP all the time. Eventually he died on his own!

 

[Tevious]

If they were also optional then there would hardly be any bosses!

CB is already optional. Father G isn't. So basically, you would have to choose one, or do both if you wanted. If you chose CB, then that door would unlock and you could get to the Cathedral Ward that way. And then the floor door hatch with the ladder down to the basement/water area of the cathedral would probably be closed to prevent you going into Father G's boss area from the back.

Hahaha, so check it:

Did you have him down to low HP? Cause that poison effect he does wears off after a short while.

[p3n]

I really hate Chalice Dungeons though. This shit is gonna kill PVP for me, having to farm gems there will suck so much.

Hmm that is kind of true, sadly. Two of my gems are from chalice dungeons but one gem is from the hidden "frenzy gauntlet" in the 2nd nightmare. The chalice dungeon "abyss" gems are only +0.5% and +1.1% more so I guess you can get very close without ever setting foot into a chalice dungeon. Only problem is you have to roll -durability (or maybe +stamina usage if you can handle it) on them to make them usable in pvp.

 

[Astral]

For some reason I can't send anyone to the Chapel. Is there something wrong with my game? I've killed three bosses so it shouldn't be a problem. I've also tlakes to the chapel lady a bunch of times.

I think I finished the first chslice since there's nowhere left to go. Just a lantern - Layer 3 heart.

Yep. You probably have unlocked another Chalice though, via the first one.

No, I literally didn't take one swing at him. He just slowly died off by himself.

remember the NPC at the lamp in central yharnam, that tells you they locked the door because of the hunt and you should try the aqueduct?
that's the door.

Yes, in the round room with the big pthumerian and 2 or 3 chests in it. There has to be a way, really hoping someone found one.

I guess you found a new glitch to cheese him! lol. I had him down to like 10% when I got him

. I guess I felt justified to cheese him then, since he kept cheesing me with his gun at that point.

Shortcuts are the name of the game. Once you open the right ones, you can run past enemies and right to Father G in about 30 seconds.

I need to time it next time I use them. I actually don't know.

Also, wow, had no idea that visceral attacks seem to scale with skill. Interesting stuff. Gives me a few new ideas for builds to try out.

 

[Clear]

Kinda surprised people aren't digging the chalice dungeons more. I think they are pretty cool although I do find the difficulty scaling is a bit suspect at times (Ailing Loran seemed a lot easier to me than most of the level 3's).

Not needed to farm for anything yet, and its been a nice break from ng+.

I think people will come to appreciate them more as time goes on, they're a great addition to the game but people are understandably more interested in mainlining at the moment.

[MajinSweet4]

So it seems this game has some pretty crazy damage variance. Has anyone figured out exactly what causes it? My only hunch is that certain actions may give you a defense penalty. For example,

Spoiler

Micolash used his magic attack on me and even though only one of the beams hit me,

it took off the remaining 90% of my life. Potentially a straight up one shot. I was coming out of a dodge at that exact moment, so maybe that has something to do with it? For reference I had around 800 hp at VIT 20 and I had been hit by the attack before and did not lose nearly that much life.
