The Man With The Golden Dong
Church set is the best overall armor in the game, I've been saying this forever
Clear
CliffyB's Cock Holster
Yup, slash at his legs and roll out behind him when he tries to smash you down. I thought he was only moderately difficult myself. Did it about l110 wearing the most excellent Bone Ash set for high physical def.
I guess I'm doing Chalice Dungeons slightly out of order, as I was able to do some depth 5 ones before a certain depth 3 or 4 dungeon where I was not expecting a brand new boss
. I was over leveled for this fight with 50VIT, and that definitely helped, but that was an awesome fight where I barely survived but came out on top first try.
Now I'm in the defiled dungeon and 50VIT feels like nothing. Need that 15% HP rune.

I dunno it's got kind of disappointing physical resist. I think the Hunter Garb and Charred Hunter Garb are overall best.

Spent last night getting NPC's to the church as I didn't have time to do much more. Now I have :
Crazy lady who cries in the chair
The fella who tells me I am lying all the time
Arianna
Adella
I accepted Adella's blood and refused Arianna's, so I think I am on the right track there. I am tempted to kill Adella though as I've read some places say that she can kill Arianna anyway.
Reckon it's safe to do so? I don't think she offers anything else in the way of items or lore etc.

It's all about #FashionBorne, baby. That's why I rock

I like how you can go back to other sections of the game from the lamp. I can't believe some of the parts that I have missed, like getting the
which I'm still working on. The level design is really good. Great work from From Software.
workshop tool
Cainhurst is the best overall IMO, the church set is good for poison only, it has shit damage resistance.
Although I agree with #TeamFashionborne, but that's only good after the first playthrough.
Pff, the Crown + Executioner's robes make me look like the real goddamn KING of Yharnam.

I might say:
1. Old Yarnham - it's the most dense area I think, and doesn't rely on elevators
2. Hemwick - I mostly like it for the way it looks, but I think it's good overall
3. Central Yarnham - this is the best area in many ways, but I think it's less interesting visually than a lot of other ones and the mob type enemies aren't my favourite
4. Nightmare of Mensis - as annoying as it is, the mother brain looks cool when you light it up and seeing it in the pit is one of the better moments in the game. The actual level design is top tier too. I'd put it higher if the combat in this area was more fun.
5. Cathedral Ward - Fantastic architecture, lots of great vantage points, tons of small secrets to find (if you include the workshop area)
6. Forbidden Woods - an epic area, but the encounter design feels uninspired. Just hordes and hordes of spiders that hardly move at all.
7. Cainhurst - I like it on the outside, not so much on the inside
8. Upper Cathedral Ward - it's more of a lore area, but it's alright
9. Unseen Village - nope
10. Nightmare Frontier - I had a bad time here, with the poison, frenzy singers, 1HKO rock throwers etc. It's a bit bland too really.

Im ashamed to say i had the most trouble with that bloody witch lol
Blood gems add nothing more than physical 21+% more damage 3 times. They are boring. Half the weapons in Bloodborne just plain suck, the other half are all right. There's no reason I should have been stuck with the Threaded Cane almost the entire game because there was such a lack of variety in weapons. This re-skin weapon argument is an exaggeration and an easy excuse. Hell, even Bloodborne has it, half the guns are basically the same thing or pointless to use, and then there are literally the same weapons with a different gem slot that no one is going to waste their time upgrading by grinding 16 chunks and a blood rock for.
The only replayability in this game are Chalice Dungeons, and they made a great effort preventing anyone from having any cooperative fun within them with bad design decisions and netcode the likes of Netherrealm Studios. There's also no reason to ever do Chalice Dungeons after you finish the final one because the rewards are pointless or non-existent.

Hi, I've been trying to do a skill/arcane build centered on the burial blade, but i read that the arcane scale is not worth it (too low). and that I'd instead lvl str to 25?
I'm currently around lvl 66?
vit-27
end-27
str-10
skill-28
bloodtinge-5
arcane-22.
How should i procced with this build? Can anyone help?

Ok, need some GAF guidance. I have a few potential options as to what to do and where to go, what should I attempt next?
I'm level 33, with +4 axe and +4 Ludwigs as my main weapons, wearing a mixture of Gasgoine's Garb and charred hunter stuff.
Option 1
Try and kill Vicar Amelia
Option 2
Try and kill Dark Beast Paarl
Option 3
Head off on the path to the left of Vicar Amelia entrance, through all that grass and cave which leads to a woodland full of gun guys and see what occurs. Although large parts of me don't want to do that until I've done Vicar.
Option 4
Persevere with the Undead Giant boss in Level 1 of the first chalice dungeon. He should be easy I know, but for some reason he keeps killing me. Will there be anything worth having in there to assist with my story quest?
Option 5
None of the above, you're too low level to achieve anything, wander around and kill some dudes and buff up a bit.
Thanks

You need to kill Vicar Amelia to progress. She was one of my toughest fights in the entire game, so I did option 3 first, which gained me some levels and made the VA fight a little easier. You're very capable of killing her at your level though. Also, perhaps you can co-op VA if she's pissing you off.

Physical resist isn't the best, but the other resistances can't be matched by any other armor set. Remember, I'm saying overall, not best for this or best for that.
Yoshichan
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?
Do we have the numbers for DkS and 2?
- Slow poison bloodgems.
- Rapid poison bloodgems.
- Fire bloodgems.
- Bolt bloodgems.
- Vs kin damage increase (useful against
aliens
- vs beasts increase.
- health regen, useful for chikage builds.
- arcane gems, essential for arcane builds
Those are just off the top of my head, & none of them are useless, the poison bloodgems are great for PvP, just because you didn't use them doesn't mean they don't provide variety, it just means you didn't use them.
& not a single weapon "plain sucks", there is a viable build for almost every single weapon in the game. I didn't do a bloodtinge build yet so I can't comment on the guns from experience.
No offense to you personally, but from your post, it seems that you used just one build & then made a judgment without trying anything else, I haven't even done every possible build in the game & there's already more variety than the Souls games.

I screwed up an NPC quest but it still made me laugh.
I vote for this one. I actually did Amelia before this and found her to be one of the easiest bosses of the game for me, but option 3 is also suitably easier and the gains will help you exponentially after finishing this area. I probably did all of this about your level if not lower so I wouldn't worry about that.

So yeah, BB sold a lot worse than Dks 1/2 week 1 in japan. PS3 install base was a lot bigger at that point in the generation though.

Oh my word the Witch of Hemwick was so easy. Like ridiculously easy. I was getting my ass kicked in that area as I stumbled upon it by accident and ended up killing her first try.

It's a really fun fight, you just need to get the rhythm of his attacks down

All of those gems are useless and no one uses them. I've done a lot of PvP and no one uses those. Physical gems outperform all of those with some exceptions that add both physical and bolt/arcane/fire. Arcane builds? You mean like using a weapon that has some arcane scaling on top of physical? Because trying to use those arcane items will get you bopped like
Micolash
Rifle Spear, Reiterpallasch, Saw Spear, Stake Driver, I've never seen anyone use these, and for good reason, they just blow. Tonitrus is useful, but boring. I kinda like the wheel but it's not really that clever or unique.

Again, what root dungeons are worth it ?
I kinda get the feeling it is hard but not rewarding at the moment.

Depth 5 dungeons can have Blood Rocks. That's about it.

I am mainly searching for the cursed bloodgems with like 20 % atk up and 3 % stamina cost up/ or lower weapon durability.
Grind depth 5 bosses with the curse affix. Have fun. C:

Well I got only 2 weapons left to grab in Chalice Dungeons.

Lost
But there's a lot of runes I still need to get. However, I'll try and get every one I know exist and then I think just wait for the guide to know exactly every last variant.
I also need an
Coldblood, never found one yet in Chalice Dungeons.
On the main content side, I'm on NG+ and I think there's only 2 things I need to get to have "everything" at least one time:
-

Messenger Ribbon from
NG+ is so much more easier than Depth 5 Chalice Dungeons though, I'm wrecking the "main" bosses.

Tier 5 dungeons bosses can drop rarity 20 gems ("abyssal") that can go way higher than that without the negative effects. My best one is +23% physical, +18 ATK, -3.1% stamina cost. I think it is possible to get the same effects twice or even three times since I have a rank (6)/19 triangular gem with +28.5% physical and nothing else. Usually they have 2 different effects on them.

There is a door where you asked for a password. After you killed Amelia, the cutscene reveals the passwort, so you can now enter. When you go all the way down from Amelia to the central plaza where the two giants are, on the right side there's a path which leads to the door.
You're just projecting your experience on the entire game, my rapid poison BoM has had people running away in PvP because they came unprepared (I got this idea from Peeve so I can't take credit for that). & yes it sometimes outperforms physical gems in the right circumstances if you're using higher level poison gems, the elemental gems also do great damage against enemies with a weakness to fire or bolt.
Funny, ENB is doing a playthrough right now & the rifle spear & Saw Spear are two of his favorite weapons, plenty of people have used the Stake driver in this very thread although I haven't used it personally, the Reiterpallasch is a great weapon (have you even used it?), & I can't believe someone said the Tonirus is a bad weapon? Are you serious?
I'm sorry, but it looks like you haven't played much of the game at all, you just played a skill cane build & called it a day.

Might lead you to the right path:
From Grand Cathedral go down the stairs to the graveyard where there is 2 giant priests sleeping, behind the one on right there is a way that should take you forward in the game.

I am really stuck on Ebreitas, I can get her to about half health but by that point I have used up all my blood vials.
I can't avoid the charge attack consistently enough and staying in close I still get hit fair bit.
I have tried summoning people but there is no one around that area at all I have waited for up to 30 minutes with my bell rung and nothing happens.
Anyone else not able to summon there? am I just pish?
