(btw ps4 take a screenshot for every thropy you get, if you didn't deactivate the option)

I know how to deactivate trophy notification, but how do I deactivate the trophy screenshot feature? I'm pretty sure you can't right now. It's very annoying because sometimes I see a message "cannot take screenshot here" (happened after beating BSB and Amygdala only, probably just a random glitch) even though I deactivated trophy notifications.

There are only a few (3 so far). One has to do with a "famous" hunter npc. And the other one with an NPC and an optional area. If you want to know:

hunter of hunters covenant has to do with Eileen the Crow. Help her (beat a hunter, which is harder then most bosses] at the end of her sidequest. Other one has to do with Alfred and Chainhurst Castle. Vileblood Covenant.

Eileen the Crow? I have a Crow Badge

Spoiler

You can meet her at the beginning at the sewers, where she gives you two items when you speak to her. Later you have to help her fight Henryk at the Tomb of Odeon where you fought Father G. Then she is at the cathedral ward. After you beat Rom she is right before the Hall where you fought Vicar Amelia. She is pretty beat up then. You have to beat the terminator hunter inside the hall and talk to her afterwards when you did it but better tighten our pants as this guy is from Krypton.
For some people, she isn't at one of the areas. If you don't meet her at the certain spots, she is hostile at the cathedral ward. You get the crow badge when you beat her but you can't get into the "hunter of hunter" covenant this way.
You get a special Caryll Rune when you help her beat terminator hunter.
Here the wiki entry with the spots to help/meet her.

VA is a story boss, Eileen is an NPC hunter wearing the plague doctor mask.

If you defeated a Hunter inside the Grand Cathedral (where the VA fight was),

it was either Eileen if you had aggro'd her before or missed some steps of her sidequest, or another hunter, and Eileen should have been just outside that area, by the stairs.

Bit of advice what to do next. Just killed the cleric beast in some sort of amateurish way. I tried him after getting to the bridge but was way too weak so explored a little. As a gauge this is where I'm up to:

Killed cleric beast
Met a hunter in a little alleyway (gave me a shake off cape)
Opened up lots of little shortcuts
Found some armour in the sewers
Found a switch for an ?elevator? that was broken...?
Found a ladder with a battering ram troll, went up it but I couldn't open the gate to what looked like the courtyard of the sick room
I found two bodies hanging from the ceiling and cur them down (a la DeS near Phalanx). I can see where they fell, surrounded by rats but don't think I've been there yet
I have been to an area where these things were crawling on the floor but can't remember how to get back there.....

She is a (non hostile) NPC hunter. VA is a boss.
Locations of her appearance (from the wiki):

Spoiler

Location 1: From the Central Yharnam Lamp: (1.) Exit the gate next to Gilbert, go down the stairs; (2.) Go left, down the next stairs, past the two brick trolls; (3.) Before the stairs going down to the elevator, turn right and head up the next stairs; (4.) Head left, around this corner, and down the stairs, towards the wolves in cages; (5.) Cross the bridge, and the lamp where the old lady is, down into the structure with a bunch of barrels; (6.) On the right side of the room, drop through the barrel blocked window onto a small walkway, and head right; (7.) Again, on the right wall, is a barrel blocked window; (8.) Enter through this window and head straight to meet with Eileen looking over the railing.
Location 2: From the Cathedral Ward lamp: (1.) Head straight out, (not the door next to the Old Woman, nor the locked door to Upper Cathedral Ward, nor the Door to the Tomb of Oeden); (2.) Immediately turn left tight whe you exit the door, and you will see her standing next to the railing; (3.) If you have seen the Lesser Amygdala, she is standing in the same location.. After exiting the doorway, turn left.
Note: You must have opened two gates first: (A.) The large gate to the circular area, towards the Cathedral; and (2.) After going up the stairs, a short way, and turning right, you will have to pull a lever to open the smaller gate, leading back to the Cathedral Ward.
Location 3: Fighting Henryk's at Tomb of Oedon. This Lamp will not be accessible and will need to be traveled to via the Central Yharnam or Cathedral Ward lamp - video here (NeoMerdien).
Location 4: Fighting at the Grand Cathedral. This event will occur after slaying
Location 5: There is a pool of blood, where normally the top Chapel Giant stands -- if you have failed, you may see this blood stain here.

She is easy to miss and thus "failing" the good path of the quest.

I just looked her up on youtube and I remember seeing her in the sewers but never again. I don't think I ever killed her either.

buuut in one of my playthroughs she wasn't despite the lamp not working. Someone said going to Forbidden Woods makes her disappear, and true enough in that playthrough I had gone there before heading to Oedon to meet her.

Hopefully this gets patched. If FW is the trigger for her to disappear, the lamp should at least start working again.

I want to join a Dungeon by Glyph. But I get the message ''you dont meet the requirements to join the matching etc.

What kind of requirements?

You need to make at least one root chalice of the same type before joining the glyph. I think if the gylph is rotted/fetid/etc. you must make one like that, too, but I'm not 100% sure.
So basically, if you want to join a glyph for a Fetid Ailing Loran, you need to make one root Fetid Ailing Loran first (you don't even need to explore it, just spend the materials to make it). Then you can use another altar and join the glyph.

I found her, did the duel, and the lamp still didn't work after. Consequently I think the lamp bug is unrelated to her disappearing.

[Morrigan Stark]

By the way, something that's a bit annoying and probably worth knowing if you want to loot chalice dungeons for blood rocks or chunks using that Google spreadsheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...mdV15tR9G0w2mbA/htmlview?usp=sharing&sle=true

You cannot loot the same item more than once if it's the same type of chalice.

I tested the glyphs rpzkeauc, 3nawt3ys, and fmu9qx9g. All three are Isz chalices, and the second or third one (I forget) is actually Rotted or Fetid even if the document doesn't say (it said it was when I created the glyph). The first two say they have a Blood Rock on layer 1, and the third one has one on Layer 2.

I looted rpzkeauc first, and got the loot it said. In the other two, however, both times the sarcophagus revealed only a Great One's Wisdom. I explored all bonus rooms and looted all the chests, just in case.

So yeah... it needs to be a different chalice type. I looted a blood rock from 4292egu2 which is Lower Loran. I don't know if Depth is related (would a blood rock even spawn in a depth 4? all of those are depth 5), but if not, it means there's a maximum of 3 blood rocks you can loot in chalice dungeons; one from a Pthumeru dungeon (probably Ihyll only as it's depth 5), one from Lower Loran, and one from Isz.

I understand you can't loot more than the same rune, but it sucks for blood rocks or chunks. They're rare enough already, dammit. Needless to say, dismantling the glyph and remaking it doesn't work either. Funnily enough all the other loot does respawn if you do that (usually just blood vials, bullets or ritual materials) but not the sarcophagus loot, it just turns into a Great One's Wisdom.

I don't care much about the lamp either, but it's very confusing because you expect something to be going on there and there's nothing.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Check your gems, I'm sure you might have better stuff that you picked up late in NG that you didn't use yet.

Yeah, might want to level up your Str/Skill. As that is important in doing more damage. My own char has 50 Str and like 35 Skill so far, but I'm like lv 130 and don't care about PvP meta for this character (since using it to get Platinum/etc)

Depth 4/5 dungeons will have them. If you have unlocked the short root chalice, just use that until you find a depth 4/5 type you feel comfortable doing. They don't cost any mats to open, so you can continue to close/open them until you find what you want.

I've read that glyphs also don't cost any mats, as long as you've opened that type of chalice before. I've never done this, though.

If you really want to, just run through the chalice looting everything and ignoring enemies.
