And so is Ludwig's
Get on the hunter's backside aggressively. Don't wait for him to attack before you dodge. You can just R1 a few times and he'll stay stun-locked.
I've never died at that hunter, always thought he was really easy. I think it just suits my play style.

Praise the good blood. Platinum got.
The game is a masterpiece. One of my favorite gaming experiences ever. Everything about it is great. I even like the Chalice dungeons. Been playing the hell out of them. Hopefully we get some dlc sooner rather than later. I almost can't believe I am saying that but this is one game I don't want to end.
Hardest bosses:
I don't think the game is any harder or easier than previous Souls games, and this is coming from a guy that parried a grand total of maybe 3 times ever in the other games.
Farming tip:

Back to the Hunt fellow Hunters. So the world might be mended...

Hardest bosses:
Defiled Watchdog, Ebrietas, Abhorrent Beast, and Pthumerian Descendent in Ihyll. Only Ebrietas feels 'cheap' to me because she seems so unpredictable. I'm not sure if I am missing any attack tells, or if she is just too random.

Farming tip:
Get to layer 3 of the Isz Chalice as soon as you can. With bonus Echo runes equipped you can get about 120K every 5 minutes or so.
Chalice tip:
Illusory walls in Chalices seem to make noise, so listen.
A couple videos of my boss fights:
Defiled Watchdog. About halfway through, if you watch closely you can see the Watchdog 'snap' into each part of the attack animation as I trigger it. I knew I had him once I figured that out. Watch his shoulders and neck area.
Defiled Amygdala
Ebrietas

Sorry you're too low for it to connect us. You'd need to be at least 64.

Those are the weapons I'm using now near the end of my second play through and they are awesome when upgraded and with some nice gems slotted. The hammer staggers everything, the 1h sword moveset is good, and the Tonitrus is a boss killer.
Military Vet is good. Just stay away from Noble Scion until you're confident. Same for Waste of Skin.
Edit: Most of them are okay, in the end. They can all be melded into whatever you want eventually.
Didn't see this mentioned in your move list, not sure if anyone else has brought it up yet: don't think it applies to all weapons but when locked on, strafing sidestep attacks are different from advancing/retreating sidesteps. This is most apparent when two handing the burial blade, you get horizontal swipes and vertical swipes respectively.

Is there a max level for first playthrough?
I just got a Chikage, I'm Level 82 and I beat
I'm wondering mainly if it'll be worth it because I haven't invested in Bloodtinge yet so I only have 7 and I think I need 13.

Nope, but eventually you won't be gaining enough echoes to level up easily.
Also,

Run past the hunter there's a check point very close.

WOW
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.
Keep spamming that blast attack shit. GODDAMNIT

Just pick whichever one thinks fits best with the type of weapons you want to use. I always go for Waste of Skin so I have the most malleability in my build.

you could just
not follow him when he jumps down to the room below. i stayed on top and just threw things at him and shot at him until he died

I just use the worn hunter's cap or crown. Sometimes I just run around in the crown with the ballroom dress and get all bloody which is amusing.
I just jumped down and
immediately attacked which made him not trap himself up.

BEG PARDON? THESE ARE A THING?
I still can't find any solid info on chalice dungeons. I *think* I completed "Pthumerian Labyrinth"
Does that mean I have to delete the dungeon to use my pthumerian root chalice? Is my pthumerian chalice gone forever or can I reuse it? Since it isn't a random one is there any benefit to doing it over? From what I understand is that a root chalice is randomly generated and a non root isn't. Is it random every time I enter or every time I preform the ritual?
I killed a dog thing that was on fire

Yep. Found a few but only in Chalices.

Yes, finally beaten this, got the true ending too.
Now to NG+ with a NPC guide since I missed so many of them.

As soon as I jump down he does that wide area attack, it hits me, stuns me, as soon I'm good to go again he just does it again, I keep dodging and he just keeps doing it.

Stay close to him and he won't use it ever.

If you have a heavy weapon, use that. He was never able to get off his blast attack because he would just get staggered every time.

God's had his chance.
Gotta get u in his face and prompt that snake out the arms attack. Step left - attack till tender - prompt snakes - step right - attack till tender - repeat.
Sorry it's giving you trouble. In the grand scheme of the BB bosses he's definitely one of the easier ones.
Not even vaguely an even contest. Axe is the best weapon. Hammer in blade form has speed but lacks reach or power. In hammer form it hits for non-optimal damage at the incorrect range. Ludwig is slightly faster for normal L2 form swings, but the charged attack is way slower. Axe has the best reach, does not suffer from lowered damage from hitting things at the incorrect range, and has the incredibly abusable L2 charge attack.
You don't need to delete it. You have 5 others tombstones to use other chalices on.
You can re-use it, as long as you have the required materials. The chalices won't disappear.
You can find items you may have missed the first time through, and you can use them to grind if need be.
Only after the ritual.
But there are obviously more than five chalices in the game. But I guess since I can reuse it there is no downside to deleting it, right?
Just defeated the final boss!!!
Good lord he was difficult. Had to spend all of my blood I've gathered throughout the game to stock up on bullets and learn to parry him. Nearly gave up too before I had the upper hand. Wish I recorded it.
got the ending where I basically filled his role

That's a really cool build, might have to try it out myself sometime.
Yeah. If you need an open tombstone, delete them. I would typically delete them after I completed them.
The exception would be if I did a root chalice that had good enemy spawns that I could farm gems off of.
I had a lot of fun with it. Chikage is definitely an interesting weapon to use. Evelyn can wreck something fierce as well. Got me through some tough bosses.

and then I found a person who I
However, I am thinking I was bugged because the boss was STUPIDLY easy. I looked it up after and he never even went into his 2nd phase :| Pretty freaking dumb, From.

and then I found a person who I
swore allegiance to. Don't know if that was a bad call, but it got me a SWEET armor set.
