Interesting. I also noticed through testing that it is weak to bolt damage, and I managed to take off half his health. Upgraded my Tonitrus to +7 in order to avoid wasting bolt paper. Let's do this!

Caddicarus' latest review convinced me to pick it up this afternoon.
Prepared to get my ass handed to me.

I didn't know Caddy reviwed this game. Awesome, I'll check it out!
Just attack him from the side where is tiny legs are. You can stay their practically the entire fight. He will hit you with his tiny legs, but they hardly do any damage which you can easy heal from.

Took me too many tries to count and a few vial farming runs but I am stubborn as hell with these games so I refused to come back later.
That feeling of elation when you finally get that last hit in... I jumped up and ran through the house first pumping in pure joy.

Well he is planning on it, he did a 101 on it. Nightmare Creatures was this week.
My guess is his review policy is he has to complete the game before reviewing it which is fair.
I noticed this as well. This time I almost got him but he killed me as I backed away to regain stamina. Guess I should have just stayed put.

Yup! It's super easy compared to his other forms.

I'm adding to the chorus that N

Tl;dr ➙ the lower part of the area is not difficult, but time consuming in the most boring way (sitting and waiting and killing fodder enemies by baiting them), and requires certain equipment to be able to be tackled. It breaks the flow of the game completely and annoys the heck out of me.

giants throwing boulders at you and/or brains frenzing you and/or those octopus hitting you WHILE poison builds up. If you die, loading for HD, restock antidotes, loading to NF, and pray not to die/use all antidotes before you see everything. The area is not challenging, as all enemies are easy to kill, it is just extremely boring and time consuming. I decided not to count the times I spent sit and waiting for the poison counter to go down just to be sure I would have enough antidotes to get to the end (which I never did because I didn't understand frenzy at that point, and I still somewhat don't - horrible mechanic.
If there were a way to make poison a very minor problem , I'd be ok, but, at best, you can make it not be certain death.

I remember seeing it in a video, yes. It is just damn hard.
I didn't even try to kill the bell maidens. is there a ladder going up to them? all I did was go in and hack at the legs and was so close to killing it then all of a sudden I was covered in what looked like oil and I died super fast.

There are stairs =] at your right hand side, back of the area, I believe.
Much, much easier!

Just reached 30hrs of game time. I've been taking my time, always trying to get the best experience the first time.

It was the exact opposite for me. I could stun him reliably in his first form and could never find the window on the second form.
The vast majority of my deaths were during that second form.
there is steps on either side at the far end
I agree 100% with this. After I discovered how to find the short custs and run throught the area, I didn't even kill any anemy in my following runs. As soon as the level starts I just run to open the shortcuts and to enter the boss arena. It is the new blight town.
Each chalice goes from 3-4 layers.
You shouldn't need to farm for mats if you search each area so you should have enough mats to make the next chalice.
Chalice doesn't scale with your lvl and/or NG+
Only the Root version are random generated. And, they have the best gems and different gem slot version of the normal game weapons.
very cool thanks, I just ran like an idiot to the boss then did rather well for having absolutely no strategy.
btw did anybody else beat
ROM using only patience and killings every little spider
ROM
1. 4 types, each type has three difficulty levels (base, central, lower.) each difficulty level has 1 "story" version that is fixed and "root" versions which are randomized every time the ritual is performed.
2. Farming mats and gear is the primary purpose of root dungeons. The story dungeons have some gear and equipment. There is not much narrative in the dungeons. They are not critical to completing the story.
3. They don't scale with level or with NG+. Dungeon difficulty is graded by depth (1 easiest, 5 hardest and harder than NG+.)
I think that's all.

Nigjtmare Fronteir isn't bad for me. Just put on White Church and roll everywhere. You don't even need antidotes.

Yup network down (only Bloodborne, not PSN).
I tried to zerg it a couple of times but ended up dieing in the last phase. So the first time I started to kill methodically every single add, I won. The rolling attack in the last phase and the adds blocking my way behind were a deadly combo. And still I had some trouble to find out the right direction in which dodging the meteors attack.

Could be if they are purposely kicking everyone off.

From the title screen click 'load game'
nice, yeah the rock dudes where super annoying at first until I killed them.
does anybody know what's up with the spider hanging near the beginning of the NF lvl?? the cut scene was super short and weird.
also I'm addicted to the gravekeeper outfit slash executioner outfit I usually rock a combo of both because after I'm super bloody you cant tell the bad color match

Not really, I enjoy wrecking shit up >
I just run past areas when I don't need items or blood echoes.yeah after one of the adds head dived me and took 3/4's of my health I said F that I'll take my time. The meteors weren't a problem as long as I didn't stop circling around him.

Oh yeah, I highly recommend this lol. It's better than Blighttown because no jaggies.

Ah, fuck that network down. I had just killed a Chalice boss while they killed me, I was coming back for my bloodstain and bam, network error.
One offline mode and two loading screens later, I'm back where I was, except my bloodstain is nowhere to be seen now.

Go to to the library first floor. It should be sitting out in the hallway. Apparently that's where the bloodstains go whenever you exit the game.
I've been kicked due to network errors a couple of times tonight. Really annoying.
Can anyone help me? I'm trying to do a mostly spoiler/guide free play-through, but I've struggled with one or two things and I need a bit of help.
I have cleared the first few zones, and I've just done Forbidden Woods followed by Cainhurst Castle, killing bosses in both locations. However, I've been told that killing

We're a little more than halfway there
Happened to me during a boss fight. From then never been online during a boss fight again. They should fix this. :\
Well, to be fair, it wouldn't make a lot o diference, as FROM gaves the ability to roll for 5 hours straight, made it faster than running and it doesn't slow down even when going through swamps lol

I did it! Such a trivial fight for me also, even though I was level 59.
