Congrats on the plat, defiled is much harder than the last dungeon. Unless you have trouble with BLB 2.0(easy!)
Thanks! So close, just need to finish this dungeon and get the remaining two endings. I actually got BLB on my first try, but that also means I don't really know the pattern, so I guess we'll see how long this takes. It feels pretty damn nice to have full health again, though.
 
And that us that, credits rolling. I am sure I missed several things, I know I screwed up Eileens quest, but I still feel like I finished most everything.

Final Boss wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
Died to Gehrman the first time trying to tease out the parry windows. 2nd time, steamrolled him with lots of parrys. Then had the Moonlight Presence boss. I was short on BV, but still managed to get it first try. Was fairly easy, but did have an annoyig attack that drops you to almost no health.

That ending though... wtf

I hate that damn
Optic Blast (as I call it lol) attack! Sometimes you can't even heal too unless you back way the hell up. Of course, you can regain some health once MP is idle after doing Optic Blast, but very risky if you can't get much back.

Heck, doing co-op that move will 100% kill you unless you are behind it or maybe roll at the right time? Anywho, I like the Gehrman fight better, the scenery, music and the way he walks is just way too epic :)

Oh and congrats!

You can get 70-80% of your health back if you attack as soon as it hits you.
 
Ugh.

Wanted to fight the "Vileblood Hunter" to finish Eileen's quest (since I did the trick to make him kill himself in my first game to see if it worked).
I was so close to beat him. I just had to shoot one bullet. ONE DAMN BULLET. And he was dead.
But no, he killed me before I could do it.
I tried and I tried again, couldn't beat him, it was late, I was fed up and tired so I made him kill himself because fuck him.

Not really proud of it, but fuck him :|
 
How do I unlock the Lower Pthumaru Chalice? I have been going back and forth on both Hintertombs and the rest of the Pthumaru Chalices. I just need 1 Ritual Blood (4) in order for me to unlock Ailing Loran Chalice.

Im also on NG+
 
So I found something strange or I am being really dumb. I beat the game the other night and went to ng+, but decided to start a new game instead. I went straight to Father Gascoigne right away and went to check out the girl in the window
The Daughter looking for her mother
and she wasn't there and for some reason it was a random dude who gave me the tonsil stone right away. Does the game change?

Nope. Same thing happened to me with Gilbert in NG. That dude seemed to appear everywhere at some point of the game.

It's in the central pthumaru chalice.
 
Got the stone around level 50. I think you get it at a certain point of the story or with bunch of insight. Also don't search tonsil stone via google christ...

Its weird I only brought it up because I just started a new game, and thought it was weird that the little girl never showed up at all.

Dont need any insight for it or bosses. It's based on levels, so then its around 50ish. I've boosted 4 chars to anywhere between 60 and 100 and i always get the stone without insight.

But yea it's a bug, cause every door gives the stone :(

How do you get your character up to 60 before VA? Isn't it a insane grind that early?
 
It has nothing to do with insight, you get the stone after beating Amelia.

I belive it has something to do with the forbidden woods, if you use the skip glitch you get the stone.

"Available from any red lantern NPCs after killing Vicar Amelia and entering the Forbidden Woods. The same voice will greet you at these doors, offering the stone and the same dialogue." According to fextralife.

By using a glitch which gets you to the forbidden woods.
 
So I asked my friend for help on
Rom
and the encounter bugged.
The little spiders didn't do anything and stopped spawning during phases. It became the easiest fighter ever. Oh well, on to Cainhurst!

Didn't know you had to go to the woods, but it's still nearly the same requirements with just an extra step, you can get to the frontier pretty early in the game.

EDIT: wait, your level is irrelevant, I always got the stone even at low level.

This happens alot when you do coop at
Rom
. Usually it spawns all spiders at once and leave all that aren't close to her inactive. Makes the fight way too easy.
 
Thats what I figured lol, oh well. I thought it was weird. Damn I should of recorded it for you guys. All I did was start a new game and go fight Gascoigne.

Aaah okay. Yeah, that's weird.
Wonder what the deal is with that tonsil stone dude. Why does he appear everywhere? There must be a reason.
When I came back to the Forbidden Woods, instead of the dude, there was an old lady who was crying so... I dunno.
 
One nice thing about finishing all the dungeons now, I can go after the good loot left by Glyph passwords!

Just got a Blood Rock and a Clockwise Metamorphosis (15% health) on the first floor on dungeons :D

I cannot beat the Cainhurst boss -____- the struggle right now

Did you get him yet? If you still need help and our levels are compatible I'd be happy to help you.
 
Any tips for how I should move forward with stats? I've only boosted, health, endurance, strength and skill so far with a bit for bloodting. The last one,arcane, doesn't seem to have any use right now and I'm just ignoring it, but I'm afraid it might bite me in the ass later.

depends on your weapon of choice. i never added any points to arcane or bloodtinge.

all my stats went to end / vit / str / skill.
End if i wanted 'one more swing' b4 running out of stamina during a combo
vit if it was obvious i needed it in a new zone
str or skill, depending on what raised my attack better.

i used a str/skill weapon obviously. if i hadn't, i'd switch str/skill with relevant stats.

Thanks for the offer! I finally got him! After about 15 tries lol. That visceral attack is really useful, especially with the Blood Rapture Rune!

as above poster said, it depends what weapon you've chosen to stick with

arcane also boost damage of certain items, molotovs is one, so if your in to using items then it will help there

also not sure of where you are but there are some items that require arcane to use, i think the first one i got required 15, so i boosted up to that, but to be honest once i could use the item i felt it wasn't worth it.

what weapon you using?

you found an item like i described? for reference first one i found is in spoiler tag, name and location are in there, but location for me was pretty big reveal when i found it so be warned -
hunters bone found in the physical hunters dream in cathedral ward workshop

Still at the start overall, only just beat
The Witch.
Right now I'm using the Kirkhammer.

Guess I'll leave it for now.

forgot to mention it also increases the damage you do with gems thats add fire damage etc.

also it won't bite you in the ass, just you might not be as effective with some stuff.

i dunno if this is your first souls game or not, but the preconception of these games being brutally hard and that you can fuck yourself over character wise is a myth.

don't worry so much, just concentrate on what you want to and enjoy yourself.
 
So I started up NG+ and headed straight for the
central yharnam lamp.
I spoke to
Gilbert
for the first time and he just handed me the
tonsil stone
. I thought this didn't appear until later in the game. Is that normal?
 
How do I buy Molatov Cocktails? The big guys and giant wolves are kicking my ass. When I go to Hunters Dream I go to the pool that says buy with Insigth. I bought Molatovs eariler in the game but I can't seem to purchase them anymore.

Lol, again? Someone else earlier said something similar happened to him.

Yeah. Just after I read that post I got the
Tonsil stone from the guy in Yarnham
as well.

On that same note, do I need to (spoilers related to spoiler above)
actually *die* when getting grabbed by Amygdala? I actually survived the attack but it teleported me to another spot in Central Cathedral, not to the Lecture Hall.
 
Ok... I just beat
mergos wet nurse

Apparently she is like the last or 2nd last boss of the game.

Now, I need to get 3 umbilical cords, I only have 2
abandoned workshop and killing mergos wet nurse
and apparently I get one from
arianna?
?
If i kill her does she just drop it, or did I miss my chance on getting it from her? Shes in the church, not the clinic.

Also, i STILL have not gained access to the clinic, how do I go about getting there. I still have a gate closed in the first area of the game, never got around to finding out how to open it or get through it.

You need to access the clinic from
a special route from the Forbidden Woods.

In the forbidden woods, by the caged dogs there's a path to a cave. Theres a couple of ladders that take you to the area behind the gate at her clinic.
 
I just beat
Micolash: Host of the Nightmare.
I did it on my first try. In fact I've killed the last three bosses on my first try. The areas are definitely getting harder, but the bosses aren't.

Anyway, I'm going back to Upper Cathedral Ward to finish that off. But overall how close am I to the end? I feel like I must be getting close.

Extremely close, not counting optional areas like UCW.
 
E
brietas
still stupid even in the chalice dungeon. Those tentacles one shot you at full health(i have 1600 hp).

Edit: finally killed it but both of us went down at the same time loool.
 
So I was up to
BSB
and thought I would take a few attempts to beat and then I saw the summoning hint and I've never used any summons before maybe I'll try that... It made the fight so easy I killed it first attempt. Is it always like that? Felt like cheating.
 
Yeah. Just after I read that post I got the

Well, you need to go to
the hidden cathedral with the Tonsil Stone to get teleported to the Lecture Hall. I think I tried to get there via another Amygdala (like the one on the Cathedral Ward) but it didn't work.

Even for an arcane build, it doesn't become useful until late in the game. I'm making an arcane character for PvP, and the start of the game have been much harder than even my first play-through because there's not much you can do with arcane early on and I don't want to waste points in STR/SKL. Poking Emilia with the gun spear for 10 minutes is something I don't wish to repeat. :(

Yeah I had considered that possibility, though I didn't try it out because I had no reason to go to the Nightmare Frontier and the door to Yah'gul wouldn't be open yet.

I'm just gonna kill Vicar Amelia so I can go visit the Hypogaean Gaol and visit Old Yarnham from behind.
