Is it safe to say the PVP meta could be 120 to 125.

I want my endurance at 40
skill at 50
and vit 50

 

[nib95]

Yep.

Awesome. I'll save that for last.

Has to be before the final boss fight but it can be any time before it.

 

[Sykotik]

The only requirement is you need to eat them before you fight/kill the final boss

. On my second, good ending play-through I forgot to eat them, nearly killed them but died. I then ate them, killed them, and it still worked. Just make sure eat them before you plan on killing the final boss.

So, don't know if this has been posted, but using the hand lantern considerably reduces your stamina regeneration rate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMcuOKou7nM

WTF?

Yeah, if you read back in the thread we all were considerably mind-blown-ed.

WHAT THE FUCK. I'm using it since forever. I might not even need to up my vit any further now. (currently at 30)

Thanks for both answers.

So what's everyone's go-to farming spot?

Blood Vials/Quicksilver Bullets: Cathedral Ward, which isn't too bad echoes-wise either due to the giants.

Can someone explain the slow poison gems? I don't seem to be getting anything out of them. Do you need a certain Arcane level?

I've got gems to get it to over 10 according to that bottom bar.

you can lure it back to the first lamp or run around the stairs and just charge (rinse repeat). I took them all at once lol and only killed one. Which made it easier since they do not respawn.

From the nearest lamp,

Spoiler

kill all the enemies on your way to them, two dogs, rifleman, bell maiden, etc., etc. Afterward, aggro the hunters and then run back as if you're going back to the lamp. Upstairs there is side area where it's like a small garden with those trees, where you can drop down directly on top of the rifleman. They tend not to come all the way up to there, so you can pick off one to two of them there. At least, that's how I did it.

You don't need Arcane. They behave the same way as poison does on you. The higher slow poison resist an enemy has, the more hits it will take before the poison triggers on the enemy. Basically, you just need to do enough hits in a certain amount of time, dependent on the enemy's poison resist, to trigger then effect.

Try to hang them up on the geometry right before the lamp, where those trees are. There's a small fence that acts like a barrier. They got stuck there, for me.

Haven't finished the game yet, so no idea if this is in, though I doubt it going by previous games by From.
A boss rush mode would be amazing.

There's a particular material you can only get near the end of the game that is required to do the final chalice dungeon for the Plat.

It's the

The easiest way is to run down to jail cell, open the door, run in, close the door and use a weapon with long range to hit them through the bars

 

[Mermandala]

You're right.

You can also charge attack / visceral the one on the spiral staircase from behind the opposite side and finish the fight down there without attention. Then charge attack / visceral the claw guy in the middle using the column to block the view of the one by the entrance. Lastly, just go fight the 3rd one easy now that the other two will dream no more.

I am quite surprised that no one pointed the "get back to the prison cell, close the door, and poke them from the inside since they're too stupid to open the door" tactic to you yet.

You still need to be careful about their gunshots though but their damage if they hit you is very manageable.

I visceraled the claw dude in the middle then ran like a little school boy to that tree area. Once they went back to their places, I visceraled him again and killed him. Gonna do that to the Spiral guy. I was trying to find him.

I did try to hightail it to the prison location. But that area had werewolf, and the hunters were on my ass. I ran like a headless chicken trying to find a spot until they gangbanged me.

The prison where you were first taken in the Hypolean (wtf how to spell this lol) Gaol, you can just head back there and close the door. They won't be able to enter and thus unable to surround you and you can just kill them one by one from the inside.

Alternatively you can run back to the lamp area and *immediately* stand on the wall beside the door; they tend to stuck there not entering the area and you can also then poke them one by one using say Ludwig's thrust.

 

[Hawkian]

The movesets for all the weapons in this game are amazing. Try R1 and R2 out of a roll/dodge, do L1 during different combos, they're all pretty great and good in different situations.

backstep R2 on the transformed cane is so good, so good.

do you need to have a certain insight level to get items at the insight messenger?

For the majority of the game I have only had 'consumables', and some gear after i have beaten certain hunters. Otherwise it has been a wasteland.

I have been pretty much under 30 this whole time. (have a shitload of madman knowledge which I havnt used, but thats because I dont want to ramp up the difficulty)

You need 10 insight to be able to shop there. You can go under 10 while shopping, but as soon as you exit the menu, the messengers will retreat. There isn't a whole lot to get there.

To make them appear you need 10. You can then use up that 10 if you wish but you need at least 10 to make them appear again after you exit the shop.

Also, that hand lantern slower stamina regeneration is retarded. There is NO indication whatsoever that the hand lantern can cause that and yet there we go, something that can have a huge impact in battles happening without the game being upfront about it.
