So I'm one trophy away from the platinum and its beating
Yharnam, Phtumerian Queen
in the Chalice Dungeons. Is this one of the hardest boss fights in the game? Or is the process of getting to this boss harder?

Defiled chalice is the real hard part, if you can beat that, the bosses in depth 5 chalice shouldn't be a problem.
 
Defiled A
mygdala
down! Boy that feels good. The whole fight becomes manageable once you realize
the jump trick in phase 3
.

Now I need 4 Red Jelly! I only have 2, from the Great Isz Chalice. Can I just re generate that same dungeon to get two more? It's the regular one, not the root, shouldn't be random, right?
 
Okay good to know, thanks.

I get invaded like crazy in the Nightmare locations when prior to that I never was invaded once. I love it, I wonder why it works so well there.

Those areas are only areas that have Chime Maidens spawned. Other places you have to use Beckoning bell to make them spawn. They are needed for invasions to happen.

You find 2 from
Lecture building
.

Most probably because there is a sinister bell maiden there and only a sinister bell maiden can summon a player for PvP. In every other location, but the 2nd nightmare, you have to summon a friendly player first before the game spawn a sinister bell maiden (and still not every time). Vice versa if you kill the sinister bell maiden the invasion will stop.
 
Do I have to do all the chalices to fight the final chalice boss? Even the root ones?

My NG+ really isn't that far, this can't be the only way, right?

You can get there very quickly, where are you on NG+?

You just need to kill
Shadow, Rom and One Reborn, no need for any more bosses, just use the coffin skip to go to the Forbidden Woods.

Lower Loran has red jelly as well. Pretty easy to get.

Only the chalices (and chalice bosses) that require you to get the next chalice + ingredients.

So no, you don't need to mess with root chalices (especially since those are the super randomized ones).

Lecture Building (Two in chest on First Floor, by entrance to
Nightmare Frontier.
Lower Loran Chalice (One in layer 2, one in layer 3)
Great Isz Chalice (Two in layer 3)

Can also be purchased from the Insight Messengers for 5 Insight after conducting the ritual for Great Pthumeru Ihyll Chalice.

OK What
jump trick
? I always mess up the third phase. Defiled a
mygdala
is even harder for me then the defiled w

no, i believe it's just the pthumerian non-root chalices

That's great to know, thanks guys! I'm not a fan of chalice dungeons, but I do wanna fight the exclusive unique bosses.

Hug the butt. Hug the butt at all times. He is powerless to escape your butt-hugging, and tries to jump away. When he does: go to his butt. Hug it.
 
whats a coffin skip??

In Central Yharnam, in that place near the shortcut where a big guy with an axe stays, you can jump on the coffin to skip through the fence and get to Forbidden Woods before anything else.

Very useful for NG+ PVP builds, since that can give you the Tonsil Stone in less than 10 minutes, then you just kill Gascoigne and go to Frontier.
 
I've had to repair my gun (blunderbuss) twice. Never huge repairs (usually around 10-15 echoes), but there's definitely an occasional durability hit.

wow really? Well this is news to me! I have never ever had to repair any gun. I am using repeating pistol and ludwig/evelyn and none required any repairs ever. And I have clocked more than 120 hours playing the damn game! Weird...

You need to realize that once she tears off her arms, she no longer jumps ON you, she jumps AWAY from you. So the trick is hanging around her tail, where it's pretty safe anyway, that will trigger a jump, and then run towards her and you'll get a nice window to land a few hits, depending on the speed of your weapon. Stay patient, don't be greedy, aim for the arms, and you're good to go.

Some rooms in the later chalice dungeons are like a boss encounter themselfs. There was a room
with two werwolfs and two bell maidens who constantly summoned spider
or that other room with
a fat guy who can attack roll into you
. Took me some tries to do them. Also some of the later chalice bosses are the most difficult ones in the game.

Ok... thanks a lot will try!!

Awesome. She will be safe forever.
 
Okay, fuck Byrgenworth, I've beat
Shadow Yarnham
I'm crying myself through the spider things because fuck spiders, I. Fucking. Hate. Spiders. aaaaaaaaaand I see no way forward, I just loop onto myself forever running away from the vagina monster.
 
Does this break the game? If not, I might try this!
As far as I know it doesn't cause any trouble, but perhaps a little confusion. You will encounter two NPCs if you go into the clinic at the start, but there is a lore reason for that. One of them will give you an item if killed that normally you have to get much later.

I've heard there can be some trouble if you light the forest lamp that early, but in my game it didn't seem to matter. Theoretically you can get to a major boss very early.

You have to go inside the 'house'. Just use the door next to the gate you opened as a shortcut. And may the good blood guide your way... *evil laughter* There are certainly no more 'spiders' in the area.... ;)

There are doors to inside of the building on both the left and right side of the building. Just run around to the left side of the building and hit the lever to unlock the gate (shortcut) and walk into the doorway directly to your right. Easy peasy.

Good luck with who you find inside though. Sheesh.
 
I need some help with Defiled Chalice boss
Watchdog
.

I'm reading that you just get close and you dodge under his swipes. That's all well and good, and very doable for me, but he also has a few other attacks up close that don't seem nearly as easy to dodge. Is there supposed to be a trick to get him to swipe? I keep dying to the fire puffing and low swipes.

I used this strategy. https://youtu.be/dtQvD0kYZ9g
You still have to watch out for the attacks you're talking about, but honestly, those aren't too bad. Just keep dodging backward when he puffs. Also, I did it with a +8 axe, so if you have +10 it might be even easier. The real key is to break his armor plating on his head.
 
My NG+ really isn't that far, this can't be the only way, right?

You should be able to get from Isz chalice again if you do new version of it. There was other chalice that gives you 2 also but don't remember which.

I's Lower Loran (depth 5).

Awesome. She will be safe forever.

When you kill the boss she dissapears though.

You may avoid killing the boss from Nightmare Frontier for PvP.

What jump
trick from phase 3?She jumps and then....?
 
Ppl that are holding off the chalices till end game. Dont.

In main game i just beat cage head so thought id do a coupkle of dungeons had to fight that watch dog of the old lords and kille dhim in about 5 swings lol he didnt even get near me. did the first 3 layers of the first chalice without breaking a sweat. gonna be a grind now i left them so late.

You killed the easy version of watchdog, not defiled. I was level 134 when I completed the final dungeon boss. The second to last boss was one shoting me. Trust me when I say you won't have a problem finding a challenge Later on in the deeper dungeons.
 
Just realized stats have soft caps and areas where you start to see diminishing returns. I've wasted so many blood echoes.
as long as you didn't get over 50, I don't think you wasted anything.

Thanks guys, it's surprising how my perceptive abilities takes a nose dive because I'm shit scared of spide-

You can cheese him. Get right to the left of his....well..opening and wail on him. Just stay where he can't spit his goo on you and boom...he's gone.

Yep, I'm as surprised as you are, especially since I've clocked such low hours (I've probably only put in 10 hours or so, as I've been working loads recently. Maybe I've just been unlucky...
