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?

Unfortunately coop is pretty hit or miss when it comes to finding someone.

Ebreitas just really sucks. I beat her by sticking to her ass and mashing R1 but it took me about 10 tries before I got lucky and killed her.

I used the runes that I usually use for farming, having had decent results from other mobs. I killed enough of them to score a total of 1.5M echoes in NG+ and didn't see a single chunk. What they dropped were Twin Blood Stone shards, sometimes only one, sometimes three at once and twice I got a Lead Elixir for my troubles. I'm pretty sure that particular wiki entry is tales from the ass.

Just stay close and to the side. Hit the head whenever possible. Learn the animations before each move. It's really easy to get that boss to half or lower so it's really only half the fight you have to be on your game. Don't go for too many strikes at once or else you'll be stuck mid animation when it does a move.

Aye I guess I'll keep trying that technique, with the boss being sort of hidden I figured that co-op would be a no go but other people seem to suggest they managed to find cooperators fine!

Loaded up char in ng+ and thought I'd try out co op on cleric beast. Hadn't beat him myself (tried once, realised it had about 6 million hit points and at lvl 70 I was a tad underleveled no doubt). So I thought I would try helping someone and see if I could get online to actually work. And I got summoned. Two of us took down cleric beast and dn it was fun. So I then did the same and summoned someone to help me. Lots of fun again.

Made my was to father g and ready to do the same for that next time I play.

Think I'm gonna just do co op on all bosses for NG+. Its a lot easier but also a lot more fun. Reminds me of playing soul sacrifice on my vita online a couple years back.

Seeing these Rom videos where his homing attack doesn't home in on you makes me rage so bad. Especially when the video is titled. "Beat Rom on first try!" Lol so salty.

Camera locking is so fucking annoying in this fight. Trying to kill a specific spider and the camera is almost like an overhead shot so you can barely see anything around you. Needless to say I'm getting owned by his second form.

^what he said.

anything more than mid-range and he'll charge, which is pretty much insta-death.

Time his attacks, study his patterns. After each attack there is a small window in which you can follow with your attack. I wouldn't go for more than one strike at a time.. As you begin to wear down his health, he starts to do a forward lunge attack with his head, avoid that, but stay within range. As his head begins to retract, hit him with an R2 attack (quick tap, not charge) this does a ton of damage..He also does an ultra slow AOE move where he spits lava from his mouth, take this as your opportunity to unload your charged R2 attack, but don't linger because he usually follows up with another AOE if you stay to close. It's a test of patience, it won't be a quick fight (depending on your level). High fire res helps, blood pellet helps.. DON'T use poison knives, you'll anger him and he'll charge more often.. good luck, it took me more than 25 tires before I locked down a solid plan.

Well, I would say play how you want, but I would like to invaders not being able to heal. It just make the combats drag on for too long, and also force me to farm vials because I waste too much of them, although the latter is going to end soon now that I level capped myself, so I can start using echoes for buying stuff.

Not gonna complain if invaders heal though, I'll just adapt.

At that point it'll add a new faster bite to its repertoire. You'll need to learn to recognise it and dodge sooner than you were for the bite where it really cocks back its head. To make it a bit easier have your vitality at 50 which will allow you to survive a charge and the chain fire bite.

The fight is all about having your dodge timing on point.

I don't think too many people put themselves up for summoning much for her. Or at least I think there are many more people beckoning as I put myself up for summoning and it was pretty instantaneous. I was stuck on her for a bit and would rarely if ever find someone to summon - and then one of us would die anyway. Ended up just having a go on my own and did it. I actually found myself sticking in front of her more than trying to go behind and hitting her face whenever I had the opportunity. Best not to stay too close as it's hard to see when the homing missiles come down.

You get one by defeating Margo's Wet Nurse, and the other one by discovering the Abandoned Workshop (not really story based, but at least not missable). Iosefka is the woman in the clinic, and Arianna can be found in the Cathedral Ward. Both of them can drop a 3rd/4th piece but only if you didn't mess up. If you both killed Iosefka and failed to send Arianna to the chapel before defeating Rom, you're out of luck. Do you need more help?

Yeah I noticed the new moves and they are usually reason for my deaths. Ehh 50 really? No way I am gonna grind for 15 levels more. Any good runes for the fight?

I usually circle strafe to right. I will try this.

I love when players try to heal online after getting comboed by my Blades of Mercy, they do it after getting hit a lot and that means I get a free Visceral Attack and a kill when they get stunned.

When that doesn't work I just use Numbing Mist so they'll stop spamming heal. :>

Eh, I dunno. Healing sucks because it's so hard to punish, especially if your using a 2 handed weapon. And if both of you are committed to using healing it can lead to extremely long matches.

Also I don't think it's that different from in dark souls

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?), & 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.

I have used Stake Driver and Reiterpallasch and they are both awesome weapons. Every single weapon in BB is good and at worst is strong in certain situations (which makes it nice you can carry 2!
