So...uh...I guess my finger slipped and I accidentally strong attacked the doll and she looks dead as a doormat. I tried to exit out quickly but it saved over.
Am I screwed as far as any achievements? I'm at level 90 on my first playthrough and want to platinum on next play through. I guess I can still level up but am not sure if I should reload my cloud save...

He surprised me with a sword up my ass.He's easy too if you have a divine sword
The Ancient Lord of the Dead is this slow moving fatass.
I honestly hated that level. The skeletal dog was the stuff of nightmares.
First playthrough it took me twenty tries to beat

I'm not sure which boss you're talking about, but dash forward each time before they hit you.
I've found that killing the first wave of spiders makes it a bit easier to survive the adds later. It's easy because he doesn't even attack in that first phase. It makes the fight a bit slower, but it helped me.
Wait did Gerstmann play Bloodborne? Odd, iirc he was the of the few in the GB crew to avoid the Souls games. Looks like this one pulled him in then.
Try to go to any location and then back to HD. She should be alive.

Yeah that's pretty annoying. I circle around hoping I won't get hit.
I got it! Thanks.
When he starts to charge that move, all you have to do is hit him to interrupt it. Even a pistol ore blunderbuss shot will work if you're too far away for melee.

Finally got my Platinum, beat
on my first try, probably over levelled at lvl142. Amazing game, not as good as Dark Souls for me personally but with over 100 hours and two playthroughs, I'm extremely satisfied. Although I will say it's not without it's faults, particularly the Chalice dungeons which can be monotonous and samey. At least the extra bosses make up for it.

I stop before
Mergo
Once you beat her the Hunter's Dream will always be on fire and I like it being peaceful so I wait until I am ready for NG+ before I do Mergo.
The best farming spot in the game is availble leading right up to her. Its a great place to prepare for NG+ and the final boss. Not hard at all to get lvl 100 fast in that spot.

So anyone got tips or a strategy for this one?
(Defiled Chalice)
I can get it half way if I do that wait behind him and make him jump then hit him as lands above you strat. But after that point and he changes his jump to jump forward instead, is where I get killed, as try to just stay close and just hit his leg or tail.

Chalice dungeons confuse me, I'll go through some floors and eventually a boss will be in a circular arena and when I beat it... nothing. Do the chalice dungeons not end, do you just have to leave?
Your 'chalice' is over. Make a new one with a different chalice. There's shit like 'Ailing Loran Chalice' and 'Great Isz Chalice' and stuff.

you are going behind too soon. Wait til he breaks off his arms and holds them. This happens at 25-30%.
Ph 1- Where he is just doing normal attacks occasionally presenting his head to you to hit.
Ph2- (where you are) same attacks except he adds some Arcane ground pounds. Hit him after he does that he gives you 5 seconds to get a hit in
Ph 3- He will be holding broken limbs in his arms and uses them as weapons. This is when you get behind him, he will always jump away.

I had that problem when I first started. I was wondering why I was so slow.

Yeah once you get to the last floor you just leave.
Uhh like every area that doesn't have a certain vacuous boss in it
Normally you'll get a new chalice from the final boss as a 'reward'. You have to exit through the final lamp, then make a new dungeon if you want.
I'm gonna start the Ailing Loran one now. This is going to take longer than I hoped. Luckily I get to take a long break from the dungeons, since I'm in NG+ and I'm missing
an item you have to get from mother brain in NoM
And I'm SO not looking forward to that Defiled dungeon
I just realized after looking often my control corrections post again, a couple of the things I noted on there are things that people in our PSN party last night said they hadn't noticed or realized, so I'm gonna take a little bit and type up a full controls list (to the best of my knowledge). I still have literally not seen a complete and accurate one anywhere so I'll add it to the wiki too I suppose.

Fuck Watchdog of the Old Lords. Got him down to 15-20% health and he does a one-hit kill jump attack on me out of nowhere and my dodge was useless.
The camera keeps fucking me over when I get close to his legs and he turns. From Software really needs to improve the camera when locked on. Would it be so difficult to have it pan back and level out if your target is really close and above you so you're not looking up from the ground?

Just got this game Monday and have played a decent amount of it & streamed a bunch of it last night. HOLY CRAP, I enjoy it.
I didn't really play much of the Souls games outside of the first area of both, but I got to the first boss and got my ass handed to me last night, but had a blast trying to figure out what will/won't work.
Even managed to make a somewhat decent looking black hunter in the process, lol.

I was wondering, how many different Hunters you end up fighting in the game? I killed
, and when I took the right path from
I encountered 2 more,
. I was lev 45 when I got the other 2.
My new fav thing is walking, and r2 into visceral. Just discovered this. Basically when I met the other 2 hunters, It was by accident. I was being curious, and when I took the right path, I immediately hopped on the building, and dropped down in the lil cubby space to the left, instead of going down the stairs. I popped out, and saw them facing away from me, so I just slowly walked up to 1, and did the combo. then finished him with a r1 l1 r1 T
combo. Second guy was a piece of cake. Staggering him was pretty easy.

Dont use lock on for this boss.
Lock is required/helps for boss like
Gerhman, BSB, Micolash, Shadow of Yarnem, Father G, Logarious,
Lock on sucks at least in my opinion for
Amagdala, Watchdog, Cleric Beast, VA, Moon Presence, Paarl, Rom, Ebrietas
Mergo, Celetrial Emissary and Witch

What weapon do you use to kill them?

Any? They die in two hits with the cane.

Cane in cane mode, or Ludwigs 1H. key is dont lock on. Just walk around them as soon as you are on their flank give them a simple R2, if you dont kill them (might have a sliver of health) follow with an immediate R1 and roll just incase another spider is leaping. If a spider leaps to you give it a quick R1 and it should die (almost no defense when they are on their heads).
Takes me 45 seconds or so to clear a wave. Then I can focus on

Lv 17 and almost best Amelia. Darn! So close. Just let myself get hit with too many cheap shots. Will gather 20 vials and try that again I know I can do it!
Lv 17 using whip + 2 so I could put my gemstone in. Going for a Bloodtinge / Skill build this time around with the repeating pistol

If anyone knows where I'm talking about, how do I get to that treasure? The room has a respawning big monster (the ones who drop vials) and a respawning guy in a wheel chair who shoots at you.

You can dodge the charge, but it takes two dodges and you need to get the first one off quite early. You could also try the flamesprayer + bone ash + oil urn if you have some upgrade mats left for it.

They were in all the Souls games, so it came intuitively to me. Back step Attack with the whip is super useful in this game.

I see Edge's review is not on Meta yet. Anyone know what they give it? I am just curious because the outtakes they released in early March are what got me hyped for this game. And I am so so glad I did get hyped for it.

Yeah, they never explain that one. All Souls games had the backstep R1. There is also Running R1, Running R2. Forward + R2 jump attack.
Confirmed.
Before the laser area with many women, there's a open in the fence you can drop down. It's the upper cathedral key.
