Ok so....

I killed Rom. It was close but I just ran around the spiders. Went back to cathedral ward. Girl is there saying she doesn't feel well. What do I do?
 
Posting for new page. Someone here has to know what's going with the sudden chipmunk voice of the old hags.

There is something strange going on in my game. Not sure if it's actually a bug or intended.

I'm on my second playthrough with a new character and arrived at Hemwick Charnel Lane.
The old wenches there don't do the maniacal laugh you know from them. They're queaking with a high pitched voice now. They sound like the chipmunks.

Is this a bug or is it tied to something?
 
I fought him once and got wrecked. he can wait until I'm done with
ROM
. is there really any compelling reason to kill him other than bragging rights? I'm not interested in
the vileblood covenant
or the chikage.

You get a
crown
from beating him. Not sure if it's any good though. Oh, and a bronze trophy :p
 
So I beat
One Reborn, Micolash, and Mergo's Wet Nurse.
in a row. Feel so great man. Currently, I am fighting
Gehrman The First Hunter
and I feel like I am missing a lot of things. How many bosses are there in this game? I've killed
11
of them so far.

18
in main game ,
15
in chalice, only 4 feel truely boss status tho, with another 4 feeling like minibosses
 
I just tried to fight The O
ne
Re
born
(gross btw). Died a couple of times to see what his move set is. Seems like an interesting one, hope it isn't too hard.
 
Well, P
htumerian
D
escendant
is bullshit. Got to beat it though to unlock the shop item needed to stand a chance against the SOY boss.

Wouldn't be quite as bad if it wasn't for the way he sometimes dashes or throws the moment you walk through the door and insta-kills you. :/
The regular variant I stayed at mid-range and abused my Cane reach. Easy kill. The second variant was harder and I changed strategy. I'll repeat what worked for me.The first hit can be many different things with many different timings. Guessing wrong will get you punished hard. However, after facing the boss many times you can easily figure out the follow-up attack. The timing on those is VERY predictable.

My advice: Parry the second strike of a combo.
 
Well I don't need bloodtinge if I use bone ash.

Is bloodtinge worth it without bone ash?
And I'm going for skill. So no canon.

I'm not using the cannon, I don't want to waste a lot of levels on strength when I'll be using the Chikage, but Evelyn + Bone Ash gives you insane damage, & my Evelyn is only +4 right now, it has S scaling with Bloodtinge at +10.

It's still worth it though even without Bone Ash, one shot nearly does as much damage as the one handed Chikage.

I'll be experimenting more once I get my Bloodtinge to level 40-45 & upgrade my Evelyn to +9.
 
Has anyone ever successfully had another player join their game for coop? I've been trying a few times to no luck. The earlier part of the game can't be this dead already, can it?
 
Haha, this made be lol. Sorry for the shame, I am sure they thought it was funny also.

I was summoned to help with a certain canine in a certain defiled chalice dungeon and died on his initial charge (5 seconds in) I messaged the guy saying that I lagged or something but no I was being an idiot.

Shit happens, bro.
In my case, it wasn't even the first time I fought her. I mean, I beat her in my first game and also in NG+ without any help so I thought "Yeaaaah I know that boss now, gonna summon some dudes for fun, it will be okay".
Welp, this is what happens when you're too confident and not focused, haha.
 
I am kinda unsure about where I am meant to go now. So far I have killed (in order):

  1. C
    leric Beast
  2. F
    ather Gascoigne
  3. B
    lood Starved Beast
  4. V
    icar Amelia
  5. W
    itch of Hemwich
 
I can get Father Gascionge down to about 1/4 health and then his attacks in beast mode don't let me do anything. He blasts me pretty hard as I cannot successful dodge enough to even turn to attack him. Endless loop of smash, roll (but not far enough away), smash, roll. It's kinda funny actually...

eh? SOY isn't that difficult. I wandered into it by accident with half my vials, took it (them?) down with a handful of fire papers, though it was tense.

what do you get from the PD boss that helps with it?

In the central plaza, where the two giants are, there is on sitting in front of a patch which leads to a door where you need a password. Since you beat Amelia, you know the password. Go there.
 
I need some insight here, Im on ng+ and just got to
iosefkas clinic, but on my first run she attacked me, but this time shes on the table and I think shes about to have a baby or something. Will anything happen to her later, like with arianna?

You have to kill her to get the one third umbilical cord.

This happens when you go to her after defeating R
om
, she only attacks if you go to her before beating him. If you kill her now, you get an
Umbilical Cord
, you need that item to get the "true" ending.

I have but only in later parts. The problem with the early parts is that you can't get the item you need to be summoned until you have atleast 10 insight and even then it is at a shop that you can miss.
 
So..I'm assuming this is the final? area and it's fucked
Nightmare Mensis. Enemies that take off 25% health with each swing, takes me like 6-7 hits to kill them, and I'm getting attacked by Frenzy from a far...and oh Giant Spiders that attack me in groups of 8+ ...man fuck this place.
 
So I just beat A
mygdala. Thought it was messed up when it ripped it's arms off lol.
Is another place supposed to unlock? So far I've got the
Unseen Village
and.the
Castle
available. Also, those enemies in the Frontier that Frenzy you like mad, how do you avoid that?

Yeah but I already got the true ending from my first playthrough. Im just curious about what will happen if I leave her.

It is the final area, only 2, 3, or 4 bosses remaining depending on the ending you end up with. Assuming you've beaten all the optional areas.

If you're having trouble with frenzy, I suggest you use good frenzy resistance armor & a frenzy resistance rune, & if you have too much insight, spend it & get it below 15.

No new areas unlock from there, Unseen village is basically where you're "supposed to go" at that point.

For Frenzy: Certain armor has better frenzy resist, so check what you have. There is also a +200 Frenzy resist rune, and if you have Sedatives they remove Frenzy.
 
Am about to give M
artyr
L
ogarius
a go. I have run the bell - if anyone wants to join my game, please feel free! Am currently outside the boss arena!

Hmm insight might be my issue. I think I'm carrying 60 something on me right now. Thanks for the tip..hopefully that makes things a bit less relentless.
 
Question regarding Chalice Dungeons:

I haven't tried any yet because I've just been doing the main content, and don't want to waste items and such in them. Can/should I just wait until New Game+ to start them?
 
OMG, Hemwick Charnel Lane has incredible art direction and atmosphere. Screaming Witches, foggy air, smoke billowing out of old houses. Barns and barn doors creaking. Damn. Love this section. FROM's artist are something else.


But man did anyone else find
The Witch of Hemwick
easy to beat? I didn't even bother killing the other enemies. I just focused her.

The double surprised me though.

Got it! One more:

Can you kill
the Amygdala that hang around the levels? Like the one on the church?

The Chalice Dungeons have their own difficultty levels and don't scale with NG+. If you started in NG+, you'd be super OP for the first couple of dungeons.

It was easy once I figured out what I had to do. Took out the other enemies so that I didn't have to worry about them attacking me. Axe spin does wonders though in that fight.

It is recommended that you have all the areas unlocked when you attempt the Chalice Dungeons, you're gonna need it to farm some stuff for the Chalice Dungeon, otherwise you're gonna have to progress very far in NG+ to unlock certain dungeons.

It is the easiest boss in the game. Viscerals are the way to go in that fight.
