Can't make a girl with facial hair...
I so would make a bearded woman lolSo you're saying the counter-argument is... git gud? xD
Kidding aside, people may hate this phrase but damn if it doesn't simply always apply.
You could say that about any consumable items. They are not meant to be used or hoarded, they're meant to be managed intelligently, which is a mix of both.
Hint which lamp it is? I can't remember argh

I feel like such an idiot. Took me new game plus to realize I could consume coldblood dews rather than sell them. The whole time I was getting less blood echos than I should have.

That move isn't common and I'm not sure what triggered it. It only happened that once though. I found it easier overall than when I fought her in story mode.
Quickest way would be vicars lamp then straight down to circular courtyard and go through right side exit then you're away
Don't feel bad, I was near the end of the game when I realized you could fast climb up ladders.
Either Cathedral ward or the Grand Cathedral. Both are equally close.
There is a path from the square with the 2 giants
Or hit start or the touch pad for the menu before depositing the controller...
Wait what?? Is that true? That explains why they were so easy the second time lol.... does this apply to named hunters like Eileen, Djura etc. too?
Or if you explore thoroughly. -_- I hate that on two occasions, the game punishes you for being good.
The first is Unseen Village pre-Rom. A cool secret area but you need to get killed to see it. I would have never found it if my friend hadn't told me about it, because I didn't die to the bagmen. Had to get myself killed on purpose to see it. Lame.
The other is Iosefka. I explored Forbidden Woods thoroughly way before reaching Rom *(since this area is before Rom after all), got the clinic shortcut, and of course Iosefka was hostile so I killed her. In NG+ I waited and came back later in the game and was surprised to see she was different, and killing her yielded an umbilical cord. How was I supposed to know I had to wait? I guess she does warn you to back away but come on, you can see she turned poor NPCs into alien things, she's evil, I wasn't gonna let her get away with this!
And of course I sent Arianna to the clinic in NG, before I saw Iosefka was evil (sent her to the Cathedral in NG+). I didn't entirely trust her, but I had no reason to entirely trust the Cathedral weirdo either, so I didn't really have any way to know it was more dangerous.
I guess that's why you have NG+ and I don't mind hiding secrets that aren't meant to be found easily in a first playthrough, but I dislike how good exploration is being punished in Iosekfa's case.
Agreed!!! I did the exact sametwo things....
found Ioesfka early and sent the whore to the clinic before I knew s
not buyuing the key and opening it form behind using the abandoned workshop route

Hoy crap, forbidden woods gets more and more NOPE the deeper you go.
Ludwig's sword is making things easy though. I seriously underestimated that weapon.

It's strange, I saw a bunch of complaints about fps in this game, but I never got that (barring moments with a ton of particles on screen etc). I did get the audio skips for just a split second once in awhile, but that was it.
Wonder what the differentiating factor is.
Yeah I had to step away from the game after that area. Closest thing this game has to a blightown/valley of defilement type place in terms of drain.
And Ludwig's is the strongest weapon in the game afaik, so yeah.

Will try this round with my character but I don't think anything will happen.
I will mee alfred and ask for his help for the beast
Like father G. Bait him for melee. Parry.
When I was first doing that area, it was late at night and I was exhausted. When I saw the
little blue men from Mars
snakes and snake ganados and giant snakes
Place is flat out creepy and long. finding the shortcut openings is an halleluiah moment.
had 100000 souls getting out the other side of there, Think I found everything there is to in there. huge huge huge area.

Lock on and dodge to your right, bait him to attack you and parry.

That is not secret. You can still get there afterwards.
It's pretty quick.
You should always leave fireball guy for last, since all his attacks can be interrupted if you get the timing right, even the summon. Just change to your faster attack form and attack as soon as he makes a motion to do anything.

Still having trouble with this. Died about 30 times I'm sure. That last 20% gets me every time. Though I'm starting to realise the best strategy is stay around his legs for that last section. Just avoid being jumped or stepped on. Hacking away at the legs does lot less damage than the head but if you do that during the last part of the fight then he'll more or less keep repeating the same stomping move or the one where he jumps up into the air. Much easier to avoid than the wild swings that take up nearly all of the arena.
just beat it tonight. definitely stick behind it on that last portion. it'll get looped in that jump attack, and it can only ever jump forward in the direction it's facing.
I'm stuck in a few different places at the moment, Ca
, Ni
and Up
. I feel a bit underleveled at 61(and I suck), so what's the best place for me to farm blood echoes? I'm currently doing Le

Lecture building 1st floor has a room you can clear out in under a minute for at least 14k. If you haven't unlocked it start from 2nd floor and go down the ladder under the giant. On the 1st floor keep exploring until you find a key which unlocks the room on the right hand side you can use for farming.
just go to her tail and attack her, she will jump away from you, rinse and repeat. It's slow but she will not even attack you.
For the strongest Ludwig's level strength and skill, for Tonitrus and Burial Blade same + arcane. I think you have enough Vitality for NG+, but other stats depend of your weapon of choice. Also, endurance is very important so try to balance those stats as you wish.
Burial Blade is a skill weapon first and foremost. You get very small gains from Arcane even at +10, and pretty mediocre gains from STR as well.
Burial Blade kind I find a little underwhelming. It's moveset is great and you can regain huge amounts of health when you take damage but considering how big it is I find its damage a little too small.
Chikage though, that is a weapon. My Bloodtinge is only at 30 and I'm doing 600 damage with that sword. And it's FAST.

Alright, just went to the 1st floor and it's a lot faster, thanks! Gonna try to get to around level 80 before I try to make any more progress.

It would just lead to the area where you fight Cleric Beast.

Maybe they removed the option to go through there because of streaming issues or something.
Ok, I'm playing NG+, but stil got a couple of newbie questions: 😌
1. What is arcane scaling on trick weapons good for? I see no arcane damage from my Ludwig blade even though it has good arcane scaling. Is it only active if I use a fire or bolt gem?
2. Is there any point in leveling up bloodtinge? I still haven't done so.
Thx for any answers!

1. As you said, if you put a fire, bolt or arcane gem in there it will only scale of your arcane stat and ignore the others
2. Bloodtinge affects blood dmg. So guns do more dmg and there is a katana that does blood dmg aswell
Is it worth it on any weapon?
Are there any guns that does enough damage to make it worth levelling up this skill?
