So!

I totally want to do that dog cage echo glitch thing to get an alt quickly leveled. Going to give it a shot tonight and get started on a skill/tinge built. I wanna know what all the cane fuss is about....

Is there a quick way to get to cleric beast right from a new game, or just run passed everything?
 
Well, you can go to the story and lore thread to find out. ;)

Hah. I'll happily eat crow if it makes sense, but I'm not ready for that thread! Still trying to remain in the dark about as much as possible and draw my own conclusions until it's done. It just feels like the humanity equivalent, but because you don't lose it when you die you have a ton of it by the end for no (significant) reason.

I didn't realize you could buy armor from those vendors though. I check and all they have for me at the moment is Father G's set. Thanks though!
 
Don't even really need much stats. Just upgrade the damn thing and keep it's transformed mode up all the time. Only rocking like 18 str 15 arc and it's killing all regular mobs in like 2 hits. Doing these areas on my first character it was taking 3-4 hits on a much slower weapon.
Did you use Ludwigs? I got that before the Tonitrus in my playthrough, and that was much more efficient for me.
 
Now nothing. She and her quests & covenant are gone! I missed out on her too. Think game bugged out on me, never saw her again till late game when I missed my chance.

well piss on her , I shanked her already. Then i drank her blood. I think I've been playing to long, help?

Yeah spend it, I bought every set of clothes I found in the bath messengers.
 
when you first come to cathedral ward and head out towards that giant..then downstairs to the first "chrystal lizard" thingy..theres a locked door...how to open that one?

AFAIK, you can't. Remember what
Gilbert (the first red lantern / window NPC you meet)
told you about how the church
sealed off the entrance to cathedral ward
. Most probably this is one of the doors they closed, it should lead to the gate on the bridge where you fought the c
leric beast
.
 
Moon Presence
is down. Was not so hard, especially compared to the fight before. Beat all the bosses on my first playthrough.
Have to tackle
Gehrman
again for
the third ending
and then I'm done with the game for now. Not really interested in the Chalice Dungeons. Will definitely play the New Game+ another time.

I think I should backup my savegame right before the final boss so I would be not at the beginning of New Game+, when a possible DLC releases, right?
 
Finally make it to the
Nightmare Frontier
and get invaded by two guys at once. Almost killed both of them, but a tombstone got in my path and they ganked me. This sucks. :/ Also, I passed a
green candle
with the sound of a baby crying coming from a dark hole. Can you go in there?

Rethink that, I started the 'story' dungeons and granted the first ones are quiet boring but the later ones are very challenging and good.

It started to get good with the
first ailing loren chalice

Tonitrus makes this game easy mode holy shit. I was building my 2nd character to use the damn wheel... i might have to change that.

Tonitrus is great against anything that's a
Great One
. If it looks like an
insect, or squid, or an alien
, bolt will wreck it.

It does much worse against
Beasts
, for that you need fire.
 
I think the L1 is what kills the durability. I kinda thought the transformations had a huge impact on durability, or is that my imagination?

The L1 doesn't decrease durability. Which is great cause I love spamming it for the animation when running somewhere.

never hard a problem with the other weapons and I transformed like crazy. but that mace breaks easy.
 
Just had my first ever PVP fight in a Soul-ish game. And i even won! Dude ran into my fully charged stab and went down. Feels good man.
 
Beat R
om
last night with a buddy after failing like 10 times. Saw a lot of people complaining about him, he was definitely annoying as hell

B

is awfully short, damn

Yeah, I only got invaded once in my first run, near endgame.
It was in
Mereloft
where a guy tried to cheeze me in a cage elevator.
(I was also gesture cheezing him back sitting in it as he spawned in and as the lift went down past him).

Went all cool guy sitting infront of middle elevator platorm that's a perfect PVP place.
Knicked him hard with my Chikage then finished off with a Parry Riposte. Beautiful~
 
I really don't like the Covenants in this game. I don't feel like I'm a part of anything.
Yepp i dont like the way its done either. I love the concept behind them but i wish there was some form of interaction, the vileblood queen doesnt count

I don't know. Exploring the different areas of Yharnam was a huge part of my enjoyment with the game thanks to the fantastic world- and level-design. I don't think some randomly generated dungeons can give me that.

One Queston about Upper Cathedral Ward:
What can I do at the rear of the cave after beating Ebrietas? Never figured that part out.

I do. I rock castle attire now that I pledged to the Q
ueen
.

Sure but you don't really get shit for it. She gives me no reason to follow her other than her. The Vileblood badge should have been a rank 2 reward at least. It would've given a reason to kill shit for her. Instead, you get the badge instantly and I already have everything I want from her. It just feels pointless.
 
Took a while to figure out but the E
brietas
fight turns out to be easier than it wants you to think it is. Focusing on the head is how I was doing it, trying to bait and dodge everything except that fucking charge which is a guaranteed hit and like 80% of my health which once the lasers come out makes it more or less insta death even if you perfectly dodge the arm and tentacle sweep combo. Then I spent time just studying the patterns to see if there's any specific trigger for the charge to help mitigate the bulllshit factor of it and turned out to be completely random as it will trigger at any distance you stay at in front of her. After that, examining her model it seemed like there was a weak spot on her back and her slug body was peculiarly split down the middle, so what about trying to stay behind her.... and as it turns out, if you're not greedy and you keep mobile while using the shape of back to your advantage you can pretty reliably stay directly behind her, which stops the charge and lets you keep the pressure on once the third phase starts to curb laser garbage.

Here's the video for it:

Started final chalice about 30 minutes ago. First boss down on first try. Was not happy when i saw who it was, i remember that dude from another chalice. Annoying boss. Having full health again feels like a heaven sent.
 
Holy shit, I almost beat defiled chalice
amygalda
on my first shot but got instakilled by a laser when it had one hit left. Damn. Definitely seems easier than watch dog at least. Burial Blade is great for hitting its head.

He gave me way more trouble than the BLB last night. I just spammed my R2 charge Ludwig move as he kept running up to me.

I wasted a few attempts trying to riposte him but then said fuck it.
 
I would agree with people saying this is a little easier, at least for me. So far I've spent about the same time (less?) than I did with Dark Souls. I beat Dark Souls once, already beat this twice.
 
I agree with folks that say BB isn't technically a horror game, but man...the
Orphanage
is most definitely horror. That music. The darkness. The jump scares. The oppressive creepiness.

There is also an online ranking thing I noticed. I have some registry in my inventory now and it shows....something. I don't even know what it is. Do I go offer her my echoes or something?

When you kill a Hunter, you get a Blood Dreg and can offer it to the Queen. That lets you rank up. The problem is, when the duping glitch was still around, people duped thousands of Blood Dreg and artificially raised their ranks. The ranking is the registry is effectively meaningless now.

Online ranking was destroyed due to the duping bug.
And no you give her blood dregs which you get from killing other players while in the covenant.

lol, thats exactly what i did, just charged as he came at me. No other way to fight the dude, he doesnt stop swinging long enough to give you an opening.

From what I understand you get dregs from killing other hunters. That's what you hand in to her.

Yep. After you hand one in, you get a gesture and then that's it. No rewards after that. I think most of the high ranking players in the registry duped their blood dregs so their rank doesn't mean anything.
 
I know the question has been asked a million times, and I'm sorry, but what dungeons/chalices are required for platinum? I mean, I have all these chalices in my inventory:

http://i.imgur.com/drVV5Bg.jpg

Some of them I've already done, so I suppose I don't need to create those again? And what are these root chalices exactly?

I've just beaten BLB and gotten the defiled chalice, but apparently I need 2 bastards of Loran. Is it true I can only obtain these in the ailing loran chalice?
