I have no idea... All I know is that it was doing higher damage than the axe (If I remember correctly) versus the "mini wolves" in old Yharman, both weapons were +3.

MAN I REALLLY hate that they announced the patches weeks ahead of time way cant they just surprise us.. :****(
I haven't played in 4 days hoping it will come.. I swear anymore everyone should just wait a month or more out until you get releases..the loading times ARE REALLY bad but not really game destroying for me.. I just hope they patch comes with PVP and coop improvements before I really start to get into it on my NG+ I've REALLY took my time with this game.

Well sometimes, when I run fast enough to kill the maiden, the spiders just disappear. But once, some of the spiders were still there while there weren't any maiden around, I didn't understand that.
Anyway, when there are like 2 maidens in the same room, it's damn horrible. And those spiders hurt really bad.
Hmm. I might look a little into upgrading that spear then. I've been using Mercy for quite some time, but I want a weapon that can be buffed.

they only despawn if they were "resurected". Once you kill them one time they always despawn when the bell maiden goes down. I do it this way because many times there are other enemies in the room and I dont want to get swarmed by 3-6 spiders, 3 skeletons and a werewolve as soon as I kill the maiden.

I alweas read you need an item to progress and open that one gate, guess how confused I was when I ended up on the other side as I took this way. How can you even miss this way?
I still don't know how to kill these things without taking damage. Full health? Go in and whack them till they die but still get hit with Frenzy anyway.

have you never been to the abandoned workshop?
LHB was a great first weapon, quality build + LHB = easy wins in a lot of situations, throw a little arcane in there and you can buff it up, use quickening, etc. it's quite great.
I also enjoyed my bloodtinge build with Evelyn and chikage. Chikage puts out ridiculous dps when you get to unload on an enemy. and evelyn with high bloodtinge lets you do things that maybe you shouldn't be able to do.
Including optional areas, I'd say 1/2.

Are there any good reasons to do the root chalices ?
You can wear the Ashen set for good Frenzy resist, the Beak Mask if you have it, and equip the +200 frenzy resist rune from Forbidden Woods. This all makes the frenzy very bearable for quite a while. Then once you get the kill, use a sedative if needed.
The gear really makes a big difference, especially at high Insight count. And since those enemies are present in only very few places in the game, you can afford to equip a specific rune just for them.

Man, I wish my character moved as well as Father
. I've got good at stunning him, but somehow he still sneaks in a hit so by the time I recover it's all useless. This fight would be so much better if he didn't have another form. It really cheapens what would be an awesome fight.

Started NG+ and have mostly been doing chalice dungeons.
But I took a break to try and defeat Cleric Beast and got him to about 1/3 health. Didn't think I'd be doing so little dmg though using the transformmed blades of mercy.
I have them fortified to +8. I have 28 skill for my character but arcane is only 9. My 3 gem fortifications are: +18% physical ATK, + 18% physical ATK, and SKL scaling +12. The final gem buffs the skill scaling for the blades to 'S'.
Still feel I should be doing more damage per strike with them.

Is anyone who also played the previous Souls games is having trouble getting into the game?
Because, to be quite honest, I'm not really feeling it. I don't really feel like exploring the areas I have opened for me now and it has been like that for quite a while now. I mostly help with co-op but that gets boring after a while, since it is not easy to be summoned and there is a lot of waiting involved.
There is something that is just not clicking with me so far. I miss all the options we had in Dark Souls. All the builds. All the different armours, the different play styles. The upgrade trees for the weapons... I don't know. I'm trying my best to enjoy it, but I'm kind of frustrated with the game... :|
Feel the same. The last part of the fight seems so cheap. You can totally cheese the fight by

trapping him on the stairs making he go up and then going down and turning right. If timed right he will try to attack you from the stair but most attacks will not hit you, and you also have time to recover in case it does. Have a long range weapon in your arsenal and... Profit.

Yeah. How do you do that? I haven't tried any of the multiplayer stuff yet.
LOL is that where it is? I had wondered this same thing for ages.
He's not that hard at all. It's basically the learning curve for parrying. Also, there's a music box you can get that will disorientate him.
His extra form is the first "Oh shit!" moment of the game. That makes it an awesome fight.
I'm a BB/Souls noob and halfway through the game (I guess) having killed R and now at the/Lecture Hallarea - but reading the above portions I'm not even sure what you guys mean when you go into builds.NF

Weapons scale with different attributes and you can see how they scale with what from the weapon menu. You should be leveling up those attributes that gives you best scaling on your wanted weapons. LHB scales with Strength and Skill so bumb those. It also scales with Arcane but unless you are not going for Arcane build don't even bother. I hope this answered atleast somewhat to your question.
If you haven't beaten Gascoigne you can't be summoned since there is no way for you to have enough insight to buy Small Resonant Bell. You have to find someone who has beaten him and bought said item. You can try to use Beckoning Bell and try to get random persons to join your game.

The parrying would be great if the window wasn't in the time I get hit. I've stunned him multiple times when he has already made contact, and I can't recover in time to actually get the big attack in. That doesn't seem like how it should work. And he has many attacks that feel like they should be counter-able, but don't work (his dive, for example).
And that form is an excellent "Oh shit" moment, but the actually change in pattern and damage is just plain cheap. It's more like a "We gotcha", especially in a well designed fight against a similar opponent.

I am not sure there is an intended way to kill it without taking damage. Maybe backstabs.
I think they're meant to be avoided while you're munching on sedatives.

I know you spoilered it, but damn... that is like an ultra spoiler. The guy didn't ask anything about the final boss. No reason to even mention it. Just my two cents. I'd be pissed if I accidently read that while asking such a simple question like how far in am I.

in bloodborne you don't need to worry about what armor you want to wear because there's no equip weight or stat requirements for armor, so you can wear whatever you get your hands on.
generally for a build you're deciding what direction to take your character and what weapons you want to use. Chikage and Evelyn both do well with a high bloodtinge so you can use them in a bloodtinge build. generally for that build I'd shoot for 25 skill and 50 bloodtinge for my offensive stats, enough strength to equip everything, and then some amount of endurance and vitality (i don't mean level offense first then defense, you want to keep them interspersed so your health isn't too low).
You also might want to consider what gems and runes you want to use as well
For my next build for example I want to try using blade of mercy and burial blade. This means i'm going to invest heavily in skill, i'll definitely be taking skill to 50. I'll probably want another weapon to use in the early game so I think for most of NG I'll be using the cane, and then adding in blade of mercy when I get it.
I would like to invest in a secondary offensive stat. Burial Blade and Blade of Mercy both have some arcane damage (blade of mercy only adds it to certain attacks, dunno about burial) so it might be a good idea to invest in arcane up to 25, this also increases my item discovery and lets me use some of the hunter tools. However the amount of damage I get from arcane scaling is very low. Also the most common gem I'll be seeing is tempering which only raises the physical portion of my damage. If I wanted to amplify my arcane damage as well as physical I would have to find nourishing gems. Alternatively I could invest in strength as a secondary which would let me complete NG with the LHB which would definitely make things very easy for me. I would also be able to use tempering gems since my damage would be focused on the physical. Tempering gems seem to be able to roll higher based on what I've read and they are more easily available.
Once I have decided on whether I'm going for a secondary strength or arcane stat I want to pick the starting class that lets me minimize my blood level for any given stat investment. Every stat point in bloodtinge is a level wasted and if i'm doing the arcane variant then every point in strength past 10 is also wasted, in the strength variant I would probably disregard hunter tools so every point of arcane would be a wasted level. so I need to pick the starting class that has the least levels wasted.
For the arcane variant this would be Cruel Fate
For the strength variant Violent Past would be best (the actual levels would be the same as Military Veteran but I would still value Arcane over Bloodtinge)
From there I would go out and play mostly as normal except keeping in mind what my goals ultimately are. It's possible I might try to murder Eileen in our first encounter so I have access to one of my weapons early game (of course I might save it for the Henryk fight and let him do my dirty work for me ;0). If I try to be good I would probably have to level the Cane to +9 in order to keep up in the later game. The hope is that I would be able to reserve my blood rock and enough chunks to take Burial Blade to +10 as soon as I get it as I expect it would be my primary weapon. I'd do ng+ and probably save all of the chalice dungeons for my Burial Blade.
Your timing on the gun seems to be off. You can parry him without taking the hit for almost every attack. The last phase is little trickier since they clearly designed some of his attacks to be delayed enough to catch you off guard. Don't get greedy and try to learn the time for dodging and parrying.

eh,
its actually a good thing to know. Its not like its that mind blowing and knowing it can prevent you from going into NG+ before you want. But I mean at this point 3+ weeks after launch you are really good at keeping your head in the dirt if you dont know all of the bosses, at least their names

I used Ludwigs Sword and the Great Axe in my first run and upgraded them to +10 and +9 respectively.
Have the Blades to +8 but don't have the blood stone chunks to upgrade it further.

I can fine tune the timing for sure, I'm not pretending to be very good at this game. But when the parry window reaches to contact, I feel like something is a little off. Honestly, I still haven't fully pegged when to shoot. Sometimes I need to do it in the very beginning, other times right at the end.
Having trouble connecting to a co-op partner.
We are both in the same area. Neither of us have defeated the boss here.
We are within 10 levels of each other.
We have the same password.
My screen occasionally says that it's looking for the chime of a beckoning bell. However, his screen doesn't constantly search for a small resonant bell. What is going on?

Just no. Even after a year you should be careful with this stuff. Since that poster asked how much there is left he/she probably hasn't looked it up anywhere. Not everyone looks up everything about the game before playing it.
Yeah it varies but you should try to figure out one or two moves that you can parry almost constantly and try to bait them out. Also other way to beat him is just to keep dodging and hitting once or twice.

How do you reliably deal with Frenzy? I even tried installing some of those Frenzy resistance runes and they didn't seem to help that much. The way it charges up is really strange, too. Hate those damn brain enemies because they just feel straight up unfair.
Also, can you reliably farm the Frenzy cure items? Sucks that they don't seem to be sold in shops.

You're not parrying properly if he gets the hit in. That's a partial parry. You just need to time it better. I don't remember any attack being overly difficult for parrying but you can always dodge.
Not cheap at all. I beat him on my second try and was able to dance my way around him during the second form. You can parry him as well. And his transformation can be exploited as well IIRC.
It's not a good thing to reveal the final boss LOL. Especially
when it is a plot twist such as that one
Can't believe you think it's fine to spoil the story of a game because it's been 3 weeks since the launch.
Not having a go but it is a bit annoying to see people casually revealing the end bosses without any consideration for others.
