Bad range, especially in primed mode. The special r2 is awesome but really really slow so good luck landing it. Worst of all is it's scaling.
I wanted to like it but it's really really lackluster.
One of his hands dangles next to his right leg. If you stay near it, you can easily bait it into using only the foot stomp and no other attacks. The hand itself is easy to hit between foot stomps.
This will help you easily bring him down to 1/3 health where he'll then rip that arm off. From here I just stayed behind him and attacked his legs/tail just to be safe. Whenever he jumps, just roll toward where he was before he jumped and you'll be fine.

Nah, I backed up my save so I'll have two of the three endings nailed once I beat
Gherman.
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.
I was watching ENB's playthrough, & you actually can tell that
Iosefka turns evil, at first she sounds different & she doesn't have a weapon if you look through the door's crack, but later on after you defeat father G & watch through the door, you see her holding a weapon, or rather, her fake clone is
Miyazaki never gets lazy in his attention to detail.

Thanks, I've been doing fine until that last phase, one tiny mistake and I'm done. Taking a break an will try your strat.
I'm not sure about the final bosses, but the critical path up to that point wasn't hard.

Any idea how the scaling affects damage numbers on the Tonitrus? I've read that in transformed mode it does more damage with higher arcane stats. So am I better off taking strength to 50 first or arcane to 25?
You should be able to reload your game, and his items should be at the top of the tower.
As for NG+, it starts out a bit difficult, imo, since everything is scaled in the beginning. But, you can sikip most of the bosses anyway so it doesn't take that long. Definitely got easier as I progressed in NG+.
Yea, I can't put the Kirkhammer down. r2 charge into r2 circular swing does MASSIVE damage. Very good for regular mobs. I watched a pvp hammer vid, and I can't wait to top off at 120, and give it a go.

This game is funny though. Had me running around for an hour or so. It really only takes like 3 mins to run from the FW start lamp to the S

This game doesn't want me to do Eileen's quest, the first two times i attempted it Henryk killed us both. Now i've just entered into NG+ and she hasn't spawned at her first point by the sewers.
I thought they patched this shit.
I thought they patched this shit.
Ok this is how I did it.
I had Ludwig's on two hand for most of the fight. Take plenty of bolt paper, you should be able to by it with insight at this point from the messenger fountain. You may also want to equip the frenzy resistance rune for this one.
When you hit the fog gate, don't run just walk. You can get behind her without her turning around. Charge attack her with your best two handed weapon with bolt paper added. At this point she's pretty predictable, just stay to her side and charge attack when you can. You might be able to visceral her head when she staggers but she recovers quickly, I found it was easier to just keep charge attacking her flank.
When she gets to a little over half her life left she starts going berserk. Your goal is to make sure bolt is applied at that point if you don't have it. The strategy remains the same here, but the difficulty will be that she is much more active. Still keep to her side and a little behind(not directly) and keep charge attacking. If her head is facing you, know that it means your likely death if you don't dodge quickly to the side at this point. Staying close to her during this phase will cause your health to slowly drain(think slow poison) at times, but you should have ample time to heal if you stay close to the sides of her tails. The only attack you'll need to worry about is when she raises up and lights start beaming. If you even think she is doing this stop attacking immediately and dodge left three times in quick succession. Once it's over go back to hugging the side of her tail and charge attacking. Hope this helps
Huh? Does he drop a third umbilical cord or something?

Platinum!!!
Feels good.
If the quest work, just use the pistol to interrupt Henryk attacks when Eileen join the fight, you avoid hitting her and she'd have no problem defeating him like this.
I'm not sure exactly since I don't know how the buff affects the numbers. I think it would end up being pretty close though either one you'd pick. If you're also using a ludwigs in conjunction then going str would probably be wisest?
OH WOW. If this is the case I will be so grateful, thanks!
People are still talking about the blood vials? they're not a problem AT ALL, I just started my bloodtinge character a few hours ago, beat 3 bosses & on my way to beat
& my storage is already full, the only reason someone would run out of blood vials is if s/he fails at bosses repeatedly, & if you do, well, the game punishes you for it, you should be punished, the estus flask was a crutch & it failed to punish you for not learning from your mistakes.
Maybe now you'll pay attention to the boss's patterns instead of making the same mistakes over & over now that you don't have infinite healing items?

I bought this game at launch but instead chose to play Borderlands on my PS4. Have they issued any patches yet? I plan on coming back to this game sometime.
Quit the game & reload & his item will be where he was standing initially.

You bought a PS4 then? :O
Quit to the main menu and reload. His stuff will be on top of the tower.

Anybody have any tips for that asshole hunter on the second floor in
?
I have a Saw Spear +6 and Threaded Cane +6 and I do very little damage to him. Dude was tearing me up and I booked it to the lantern so I wouldn't lose my echos.

They're very good, only thing bad is the dodging R1.

The music at the end of this game is really good. Just at the wet nurse boss so I think im near the end. I'll check upper cathedral ward after this.
Yes...should I kill her??? I read she had something to do with Alfred's quest

Arcane does increase the dmg of the buff, i have 45 arcane and off the top of my head i think my atk rating is around 750 with the buff

Overal Ihyll was WAAAAAYYYYY easier than the friggin Defiled Chalice.
I skipped the optional doors though. Anything important there other than Chalice mats?
Now I just need the endings for my first PSN Platinum trophy ever!
You can buy the Sinister Ihyl Root Chalice on the 3rd floor before the checkpoint. Other that just mats and shit
You can pretty easily cheese her if you want. As soon as you make it up to her floor,
face the wall to the right where she's coming from. Spam her with your gun until a visceral opportunity arises and use it. She'll fly back into the corner and is now trapped. Rinse and repeat, using her stun/time on the ground to regen or use vials if necessary.
No, go talk to Alfred.
They're both leaders of their respective covenants, if you want to side with Alfred, don't kill her, pick up the unaddressed summons in her room & give it to him, then go visit her chamber, & then go back to where you first met him in the altar just before old yharnam, you can still revive her later in the game if you pick up her flesh
Yeah the load times are there to punish people as well. If you were better at the game you wouldn't see them as much. Also the frame rate drops on the game are because you are leaving to many enemies on the screen. If you were killing them fast enough you would never notice the slowdown. All you haters just need to get better at the game.

When you beat the game, can you continue your playthrough? Or does it force you into NG+?
Hey guys, I'm (probably) finishing up my first play through of the game and have no idea about cords and haven't met some of the NPCs I've seen mentioned here.
Read that I need three endings for the Platinum - am I fucked if I play through the game again trying to get a different ending without referring to a walkthrough? I want to be on the right path but would prefer if it wasn't blatantly told to me, if you get where I'm coming from.

Disagree completely. While farming vials hasn't been a huge problem for me (I've only had to do it a couple times), it's just mindless busy work just so I can keep playing the game. It's not fun, it's not hard... doesn't make the game more challenging either - just more time consuming. The punishment for dying is already the possibility of losing all your blood echos and the run back to the boss. I see no reason to add the potential for grinding vials back into the mix.
It doesn't even really take long to farm more vials in the game, but it's just annoying and the flask system was much better in the Souls games.

Holy shit earv I just saw this. That build looks fun as hell lol! One question, how the hell are you doing 600+ atk with ludwig's? High level chalice blood gems I assume?
