I was just starting to dominate the

battle and then BAM! elevator bug. I'm so sad right now, really close to platinum. So wait for patch or redo everything... this is really killing my motivation.

Tell me about it. I just started new game+ since there still isn't a patch for that yet. It's my last trophy too.

 

[NastyBook]

My 0.16mbps wouldn't allow me to watch it, so I hope it hits YouTube soon :<.

Hopefully they will. The Scorpion play has been really good. Erron Black as well.

Man, what the fuck is up with blood echoes vanishing and attaching themselves to enemies miles from where you die. Rage quit for the first time after having no luck clearing almost the entirety of the Nightmare Frontier before stupidly dying to one of the frenzy pricks.

Fourth time it's happened now. Previously I managed to find them in an enemy on a floor above or below where I died, but I think this time they teleported from the giant swamp all the way down to the area before Amygdala. Fucking ridiculous.

Between that and the new blood stain being indistinguishable from the environment at times i'm really hating the new system.

 

[Sullichin]

Man, looking at the walkthroughs online are showing me I missed a lot of stuff on this first run. Here's a list of things I didn't even know could be done:

- Iosefka's Clinic
- Cainhurst Castle
- Arianna Questline
- Eileen Questline
- Alfred Questline
- Covenants

- etc.

I'm currently on my way to F

to get the clinic shortcut so I can get the last piece of umbilical cord. Then I'm going to try and get to C

I know for a fact I'm at the end of the game, but I'm trying to do as much as I can since NG is gonna suck. For the people who got Platnums, what should I be focusing on in this initial run endgame?

Grab some Chalice dungeon material you'll need so you won't have to get them in NG+:

Spoiler

red jelly and living string

For buying weapons and stuff I suggest just waiting till NG+ because you get so many echoes it's trivial to buy things. It's also easier to level up for the later Chalice dungeons, although the later dungeons drop a lot of echoes too. Chalice dungeons stay exactly as you left them when you go into NG+. They have separate difficulties.

 

[SUBZERO-08]

Beat Martyr Logarius on my second attempt (after doing no damage the first time, killed by magic). That was probably my favorite boss I've fought so far. Incredibly intense, my hands were shaking after the win!

fight in one of the dungeons. Went down quite fast, faster than I imagined. The poison darts also helped.

 

[RandomSeed]

It's going to take all my willpower to push through chalice dungeons. Mats to create the next dungeon are not the most exciting of rewards.

So Im at a point where lighting additional lanterns is not letting me warp to them...ie. its not on my list in the Hunter's Dream....whats up?

Are they on a different tombstone? There's 4 in total I think?

I've beaten the game and killed all bosses and consumed the 3 umbilical cords for that ending. Just began My ng+ and during my first playthrough i never summoned NPC help on bosses. Can somebody tell me or explain how that is done

Wait what? Isn't that not good? I haven't fought a lot of bosses yet. No dark beast Paarl, no Mikolach or whoever. Isn't Rom endgame?

 

[Spacebar]

I'm actually at Rom and ringing my bell for help with no answer. I'm level 60. Is that too high?

 

[WEGGLES]

Fuck snakes. Fuck em all. I keep getting lost and some how looping back around. By that point I basically have a level worth of echoes... but still. Annoying!

 

[xxRONN1Nxx]

Wait what? Isn't that not good? I haven't fought a lot of bosses yet. No dark beast Paarl, no Mikolach or whoever. Isn't Rom endgame?

I would not say endgame but the world will change after killing him. Before you fight him you can go clean up on some NPC stuff you may have missed. Plus Michlosh you will fight in Nightmare of mensis he is in that later part of story. Also killing ROM you will still be able to go to the Goal and kill darkbeast paarl

How does arcane affect ludwigs sword? I noticed it has B rating at +9, but when I leveled +1 arcane, it did nothing.

Yes. Around that level people finish the game, you're about half way through.

Yes. Around that level people finish the game, you're about half way through.

I finished the game at level 84, but that was killing everyboss and clearing several chalices and every optional area in the game

Ok. I'm level 47. Am I ready? Lol. How does the world change?

Hmm, are people beating it that low? I've seen others saying between 70 - 90. I myself am 123 and have yet to beat the game. But I'm doing everything, including the chalice dungeons.

I was prob around 50ish at R

Yea, I take my time and search every corner. I'm just terrible when it comes to these boss fights. I've gotten him down to one hit and ran out of endurance. Then I got bopped trying to take one last swing.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Henryk

straight up vanished. He killed E after I stumbled upon them and then killed me. I went back, tried to fight, got ganked again.

Now he's gone. The lamp is open now too. Is that it? His armor is lost for good?

 

[xxRONN1Nxx]

Ok. I'm level 47. Am I ready? Lol. How does the world change?

I would think you could take him at that level. I believe Iwas around 55 when I killed him. It really depends how youve built your character so far. Just kill him and see the changes and enjoy

LOL yes that happens to alot of people myself included especially when you see that boss down to a sliver of HP and you get greedy for that one last hit. I always try to back out and stick to my gameplan that got him to that low and go back in for that last open hit

So I made the mistake of saving Darkbeast Paarl for after Rom. Now I'm having trouble with those 3 hunters in Hypogean Gaol. I'm looking in the right place, correct? Any tips on fighting those 3? If anyone around level 63 wants to help me out in-game, I'd appreciate it!

This strat worked great! yes you will still get to fight

I finished my first playthrough at 65. All optional bosses down except

Spoiler

Ebrietas

due to the elevator bug, it was doable anyway. I usually don't over level in Souls games, makes it kinda easy.

 

[Schryver]

Just beat it. Was level 88 I think. Loved almost every minute but disappointed in how easy all the bosses felt.

Spoiler

At least Gehrman took me a few tries. Moon Presence was first try though

. Just killed NG+ Cleric on first try as well. Now need to try some of the chalice dungeons and get the Playinum trophy. Demon's Souls is in my future also!

 

[Beelzebufo]

Just beat BLB. That was an intense fight, but anyone who says backing off is a bad idea is wrong. Killed him by shooting him lol.

You guys are overpowered lol. Beat the game at around 65 both times, and that's beating every boss.

What's the best place to farm Ritual Blood (4)? I need 18.

I beat the game at Level 130 after doing Chalice dungeons.

Man, when you can connect PvP is such a blast. I never had so much fun invading and trolling the fuck out of people. I almost died from laughter. I can't wait for the fixes for cthe connection issues.

Man these chalice dungeons are no joke. I'm only doing the level 4 ptalimuce dungeon or whatever it's called. Those red eyed dogs are fucking me up.

They are really annoying since they can stunlock you. Try luring them out one by one. Depth 5 gets crazy with the number of dogs and other enemies in the same room.
