I missed Eileen the crow on my 3rd character and killed a few bosses already... Is there anyway to get her to appear or am I going to have to wait for NG+? She's not in her 1st location or by the cathedral ward.

U gotta open up that shortcut by cathedral ward to vicar amelia. If u spawn at cathedral ward go straight out that door and right up the steps. That door at the top has to be open for her to appear outside of cathedral ward. If u kill amelia before u talk to her, eileen will be gone for that game.

Playing through second time with an arcane build, really disappointing. About the biggest source of non physical damage I've done is with tonitrus, and I could do that on any character. I haven't gotten all the items yet, but most of them are extremely useless.

The beast roar is kind of nice when you're surrounded, otherwise tentacle claw has a long cast time and mediocre damage (and also a slow recovery), tiny tonitrus does mediocre damage for 6 QS bullets, empty phantasm shell's effect isn't noticeable. Haven't had a chance to use the gloves or a call beyond, but everything seems extremely mediocre compared to the magic builds in dark souls 1/2. Even the arcane stat scaling on weapons is bad. I feel like arcane damage is unnecessary, Bolt seems to excel against most enemies, Fire does against beasts.

Basically there's no reason to go Arcane or pump points into it. You're better off using flame paper or bolt paper for the bosses that have certain weaknesses.

Yup completely my experience. I just finished the game with an Arcane build. Was extremely disappointed to hear A Call Beyond is useless. Executioners Glove is the only good spell in the game. And it's not worth pumping Arcane to 40 for that. Empty Phantasm Shell is shit, so few enemies are weak to arcane it isn't worth it at all. Rosmarinus is only so slightly better than the Flamesprayer, it's ridiculous. The Flamesprayer also has the advantage of being fire element, which a lot of enemies are weak to and you get it comparatively fairly early in the game. I wouldn't even call the magic situation mediocre, it's complete shit.

This game has the illusion of choice. In the end you're either STR or Skill because physical attacks are the only thing that matters.
 
Choose load game.

Thanks..

34 hours.. and I still have a lot of things to do and places to see ^^

First time I played From soft game and its a blast, running around with my friend on the other line and exploring the game together via voice chat is one of the most satisfying experiences I have ever had this gen.
 
Good job! No shame in dying to bacon! There is a way around him. Up the ladder and across the bridge then down the ladder and sneak in behind him.
Never thought of it that way. I love bacon. Are you talking about sneaking behind the pig?
those two wolves were harder than that boss haha, fuck those wolves

i saw the pig in the distance and said nope but later went after it
Exactly what happened to me. I faced the wolves the first time and got my ass handed to me. After a few more attempts at trying to get there again I decided to go
down into the sewers
, I killed everything I could and I, too, saw the pig but said fuck that. Eventually I found my way out and even missed the second gate that leads to the lamp. So I kept going until I got to the boss and sliced up his nuts.
Now that I can level up
I feel a little more confident. I took the on the wolves afterward just to see how tough they are now that I'm a little more comfortable. I took a decent beating but they weren't so bad. I find myself transforming my axe into it's larger form more often.
 
Just killed
Micolash
and
Mergo's wetnurse
first try. What a rush. So close know. Does starting NG+ increase the difficulty of chalice dungeons?

Yes. Go up the ladder by his entrance and across the bridge. Ladder going down on other side. Sneak in and R2 him.

no. they are almost a seperate game in themselves.

I will say NG+ helps with the platinum alot. There is a mat you need 4 of to open and you get 2 each playthrough. No to mention the weapon master trophy
(the Burial Blade can only be aquired after beat Gehrman)

So you actually have to do ng+ to open one of the chalices?

I wasn't able to interact with him in that area, but you will run into him in the later part of the game. Basically back in the Lecture Hall.

no, you can find the material in other chalices
(Red Jelly) but it is found in the lecture hall 1F
which you can find pretty quickly in NG+ as opposed of hours of grinding to find them in Chalice. There is also a missable ingrediant you get for killing the
Brain (Living String).
 
Thanks, it's just that this is the first boss that is actually giving me major trouble, but the boss will go down!

Him and
Ebrietas
were my two hardest. Preserve your vials by parrying him in the beginning. You'll do about 60-75% of the damage through that. The final phase, just be close to your dodge button.

THE q#w%@#$%ING RAGE I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW!
New game +, I fight Henryk, Eileen comes, I pretty much destroy Henryk, talk to Eileen and get my emote. I put my controller down to get a glass of Bailey's with ice. I come back and Eileen is beating the hell out of me! I'm like WTF! In putting my controller down I some how hit her with a charged R2. RIP to my current game.....(Yes, I'm going to look into the online ps4 save but still) FML!
 
Every boss "one-shotted" (god that's weird to say, but when in Rome...) so far on my second playthrough. Amelia's going to break my streak, calling it now. There's something about this boss that makes me suck - it isn't even that hard, thinking about it, especially on NG. She's just very good at killing me.

Classic souls game.
 
I think I have all of the awaken above ground done, graveyard of the darkbeast is the lowest lamp I'be unlocked. And I killed the witches boss on the next tombstone. Where the hell do I go next?
 
Classic souls game.

Classic Sony controller. The triggers on the DS3 and DS4 are always gettin tapped when you sit it down.

Really bummed that BB's co op is such trash. Well it's fine if you can partner up with someone, but putting in a password (something random like 659agh75a) pretty much does nothing. I've only managed to co-op with 1 buddy, we had massive issues but persisted and got it to work on most new game+ bosses. Everyone else we just sit there.

Same spot where we beckon/use resonant bell. PS4's in DMZ. Fresh ps4 restart. Same level or within range. Co-op is a broken mess. I thought the password thing would have been great, and should have if it worked. I can't believe wearing a ring and choosing a god in DkS2 has a 100% chance of getting my co-op friend in my game.
 
Very quick question is someone can answer soon:

Late game spoiler:
Is the woman in a white dress at the top of the Mensis place used for anything? Or is she just a story-related thing? Should I attack her or leave her be?
 
How did you beat the game twice in so little time?

or did you do it the cheesy way?

I uploaded my save then downloaded again after doing one ending. I have four characters and over 120 hours in game. I could have finished it again legit on my third/fourth character but wanted to do it ASAP (as I missed out on my first who had progressed to NG+).

If you don't kill him he becomes a overpriced merchant in chalice dungeons, random for him being there but can sometimes be a godsend if you don't want to leave them.

He's still a dick though.

Story, You can swipe her but better is to beat the next boss then come look at her again

This is why I always have my back to NPCs
 
Finally met the infamous R
om
today. Get him down to 1/3 health consistently, and then get rekt by
an AOE attack
that I don't recognize the windup animation for yet. The fight seems totally doable but I'm sure it'll take me several tries before I get a real grasp on the moveset

The
hunter
before the fog gate was nothing however. Got it down to 1 more swipe's worth of damage the first time and messed up stupidly, destroyed it the second time with mad parries tho.

My preference of boss fights definitely leans towards humanoid/beast encounters
walking up and slashing at a stupid slug thing while avoiding little stupid things and magic powers isn't exactly the most fun thing in the world. Logarius, Father G, and Amelia were my favorite bosses thus far. Witches were dumb (like Rom but without the difficulty), BSB was super basic with annoying poison and a stupid one hit kill grab (made me feel like a matador tho), Darkbeast was laughably easy once his lightning was gone, and Cleric Beast was a great fight with terrrrrrrrible camera problems
 
Any idea why those... things from outside Cainhurst castle spawn in cleared areas in the chalice dungeons? Scary to have some of the most dangerous enemies in the game appear in areas you think are safe.

The can appear where you've used a visceral attack to kill an enemy. All the giblets must attract them
 
So I ventured into the forbidden woods.
I managed to open an elevator right near the lamp that gets me back to a good spot, but I'm confused as hell as to what to do. There's a few gigantic snakes, some snake guys, and regular snakes. I killed many but they're never ending. I ran beyond them and faced some straight up aliens, lol. Some sphere killed me with a laser though.

What am I supposed to do? Kinda lost.

the area can be confusing, but keep exploring, if you found a
lake with fireflies, follow the stream with the pig walking back and forth
 
Sooo I think I maybe just hit a bug? I opened a chest and picked up a weapon (
Tiny Tonitrus
). I continued to play, eventually dying and winding back warping to the Hunter's Dream. The weapon is nowhere to be found. I've checked every inventory slot on every screen in and out of storage. I went back to where I picked up the weapon and the chest was already open plus empty...so what happened to that weapon? Did it just vaporize?

its in your consumable item inventory, it will be greyed out if you don't have enough arcane to use it

I am trying to remember. You should make your way all the way down the path to a dead end. Go back and steer to the right, I think. You should be running into a few pigs.
