Got to hate it when you get "BLOOD ECHOES RETRIEVED" popping up obscuring your view for a few seconds during a boss fight.

I'll check the gems in the morning, but I always keep whatever gives me the best bonus to attack and arcane. I also have 60 Skill and 25 Arcane. If an opponent is vulnerable to stun-lock, it's vicious in dual-wielding mode. The downside is the limited reach. I actually tried the cane/whip for the first fight, but on the second one I found I could generally get up close enough to actually hit him with the blades.
I have 60 Skill and 25 Arcane, it's also +10 with the best gems I can find on it.

attempting to take out
with no blood vials in the dungeon. Almost had him until his move transformation which he performed something new.
watchdog of old lords
Okay those levels might have something to do with it. I would boost my Strength and Skill but that character is already over 140lvl. Wish I could remove my stupid Arcane dump from the build since it is worthless for me (realized this when it was already too late).
edit. Also isn't 60 in Skill little overkill?
Not with a single shot.
With the canon maybe.
Well

Doesn't that lead back to

I am in NG+ and I still don't know how to open the door next to chest (the room before that is full of urns). Any ideas?
Thanks. I've watched a walkthrough of the one you've suggested while being bored at work, but I have no idea at all what happens in
Mensis
You don't.
The other side of the door is the lamp on the great bridge. Why it remains closed forever I dunno but I assume it was intended to be a shortcut that was just never fully put in.

you can't. It's closed. Lore spoiler :
It the gate that link the cathedral ward to central yarnham, at the end of the great bridge, where you fight the cleric beast. Its said the healing church blocked access to protect itself from the plague, like the closed the access to the old yarnham and burned it down

Started watching a Speedrun of NG++..But the guy duped a bunch of echoes and was level 500+ so it was a bit pointless. Spent a while this afternoon trying to get the Woods terrain skip down..Was harder than it looked.
What skip?
What I've gathered you can only be invaded if you ring the bell to summon someone. Also
Nightmare
In Central Yharnam where the Executioner is, you can run and jump over a coffin to land on the wall, then run along the wall, turn around and run and jump before the sandbag and you go flying over the rail onto the opposite side..in the Clinic's Graveyard..less than 5mins into the game you can be in the Woods.

Have you ever rang the beckoning bell?
Yup
It'll be very obvious when you get to the point of no return. But yeah, you're close.

Spend almost an hour yesterday doing co-op sessions at

is a really fun boss fight at co-op! that being said a lot of the attempts ended very quickly because the hosts were not careful enough and died

After that I decided to go to

I've done the following and I'm wondering where to go next....
Cleric Beast

BSB
Vicar Amelia
Hemwick Witches
Shadows of Yarnham
Dark Beast Paarl
Rom
Martyr Logarius
I've also completed Alfred's and Eileen's quests, resolved the story of Father G's daughter, and screwed up by killing Losekfa too early. I only have one umbilical cord so far, and ate it. What next?

Wow, I finally beat The W
overall I really enjoy the fight! One of the few bosses where I had troubles on and my hands were sweating near the end with my heart beating fast haha. Can't wait for the dlc! Such a great game 
atchdog of the Old Lords in the Cursed Defiled Pthumeru dungeon. That was a rough fight but I manage to beat him on my 5th attempt. Even though he was able to kill me in 2 hits or that dadh attack, I had to get the timing of each roll perfectly.

I'm facing him right now, well for the last 1 hour I should say. Problem is I have no blood vials so I kept on losing against him. But now I've secured nearly 6000 blood echoes and I'm going to go crazy on blood vials!.
Yeah the run where I saw it had no proper explanation, the video linked earlier would have been a hell of a lot more helpful 12 hours ago.

The Lecture Building Floor 1 if you let Amy grab you and if you have the Tonsil Stone (which is obtained by any NPC after you enter the Forbidden Woods, I believe)

So I did things in a pretty weird order. Did Cathedral Ward, Hemwick and Forbidden Woods before Old Yharnam. Needless to say, BSB went down very easily to my relatively high level and +6 weapons. Now the first chalice dungeons are a bit too easy and the loot hasn't really been worthwhile. But I got an awesome gem in layer 2 of my root central Pthumeru dungeon last night. +10.5% or so to physical attack in a droplet gem which fits into any gem. Pretty sweet!

I'd like to tackle Unseen Village last, as those Bell Maiden's are pissing me off. Who's Amy? Where do I have to go to let her grab me? I have the Tonsil Stone.

I had to farm for about ~20 mins to have enough for a few attempts. I actually was down to zero vials when I finally beat him barely..
Good luck

Did the same yesterday, maybe after a few more attempts. After reading some experiences here I was worried to solo him but ultimately got to the point where having some kind of control over the fight, apart from the silly charge, Patience is definitely rewarded. Was quite a successful session yesterday,
Abhorrent Beast + Watchdog down.

Did you use heavy attacks on him? More dmg but slower and takes up stamina.
Amygdala is the large cthulhu like creature. There is one in the building that you spawn in after killing Rom which is the place that leads to Unseen Village.

Well I did it! I beat it and got the secret ending. First Souls style game I have really spent this much time on and I love it a lot. The boss battles can be a bit frustrating and I vastly prefer the times when I am scouting for another shortcut or items. Regardless though getting through the game was a goal for me and I am so happy I did.
I actually had a harder time on
.
I played a little bit of NG+ downing Cleric on my first attempt. Kinda shocked considering he took me about 8-10 tries the first time.
Simply a amazing game and now I want more. Luckily I already bought Dark Souls 2 on PS4 and already dumped a good chunk of time into yesterday after finishing BB.
Bring on the Bloodborne DLC! I will buy it all!
I actually had a harder time on
Gehrman than I did on Moon Presence, Gehr took me about 15 tries sadly lol, gave up and upgraded some equipment first

I was surprised I manage to solo him honestly, if I was unable to kill him that last attempt ( since I ran out of vials and had to get going) I was planning on asking for help on GAF. I felt like I had control over the battle, I tried to stay close enough for The W
atchdog of the Old Lords to do his head swing attack the majority of the time. Which I sidestep to whatever side he is swinging from, hit him once or twice then get the fuck out. His AoE was able to kill me in 1 hit same with his dash attack.
I used the Holy Sword in the straight sword form R1 attack. I felt like the greatsword or any heavy attack was too slow, allowing myself to get hit. Took me about ~10 mins all together to beat him.
edit: What I did was
stay close to him, so he would do his head swing attack the majority of the time. Whatever side he would attack from, I would side step that direction towards him. Hit him once or twice at max then 2 rolls away. If you manage to knock him down, I was able to get 3 hits in before he does his AoE attack. He tends to glow really bright before his dash attack as well.
Doesn't it unlock ritual blood in the store? Or does it unlock just for beating the last Pthumerian dungeon.
I don't think they drop them. Best bet is Chalice dungeons for high level gems.
For anyone looking for a high level farm spot, let's say for vials for your Defiled Chalice attemps, I found that the most effective spot is in the first Ailing Loran Chalice Dungeon, in the very first room right after the layer one lamp. It's a large room full of those old ladies, they're pretty easy if you're not reckless. Clear the full room (two minutes? three?) for almost 30k blood echoes, run back to the lamp and repeat. You can make 90k in three runs in 10-12 minutes, and buy 100 vials, or a level or whatever.

I've got the kirkhammer. I'm familiar with his attacks, but it was just his later move set when he's low on health that got me. Anway, got 21 vials again, time to go back in! Thanks for the tips BTW

It's the only thing I rea dislike about this game. Plus there is no real way to stop it other than items since it just keeps building
