One doubt about the "easy mode" bug.
happens everytime i play for more than 10 hours?
i lost Eileen the Crow quest, so i decided killing her for the set, i was excited for a tough fight... turns out she was just throwing rocks at me or something like that????????? not even using her gun.
lame as f*ck.

if you want to avoid that, just close and restart the app every time you play after a break.

Man I read all these damn beginners tips and I guess I'm just dense but it took me hours to even attempt to use my gun. For anyone else starting out and thinking wtf this gun sucks I think I'll only use my other weapons...this is how to use your gun:
Get close to a guy and just before his attack is about to hit you, shoot him. You have to get the timing right but it's not usually too hard once you figure it out. So once you shoot the bad guy and have the timing right, they'll stagger back and what you want to do now is attack with R1. This will trigger a visceral attack and do a lot of damage.
TL;DR wait for enemy to attack and right before they strike, shoot them. Then attack them with R1. Guns are fun.

I STEAMrolled BLB once i learned him
Its crazy how each boss has its quirks that allow for the fight to be made easier.
He is so intimidating at first but I kept fighting him and observing (without using vials) to figure him out then I went in for the Kill >

After many rage inducing moments trying to master parrying in Dark Souls 2, Parrying actually making sense once again (via the gun staggering) is a sheer joy.

2. There is an insanely detailed guide here that can help you. Starting in post 10, you will find the dungeon trophy guide. Personally I was able to skip one step in that long list of requirements, the Isz chalice. You can get enough red jelly if you ng+.

I'm now at the end of the game. I want to platinum the game so I'm going to do some Chalice dungeons to get the Beast Claw and high level bloodgem drop, then it's just a matter of unlocking the three different endings.
I already have a save stored on USB drive ready to act as backup but I'm still nervous I'm going to mess up the process somehow and be forced to play through the game again in order to get the rest of the endings.
The game is great, but my backlog is too large to play through multiple times.
I will say I'm disappointed the performance patch didn't come out prior to me finishing the game.

I thought the 60FPS updated version on PS4 would make parrying easier but I still need way more practice it seems
Parrying in Bloodborne is such a dream and lots of fun
I feel you, but I'm doing NG+ since I'm loving it so much. I went back to NG with a new character and absolutely steam rolled the 1st two bosses.
Knowing where to go/how to kill enemies is like 80% of the time consuming part. If you want the endings rapidly, avoid NG+ as the difficulty really spikes compared to NG. Just reroll a new character.

Yep. I remember the first time he did his rocket punck which OHKO me since I dodged terribly. After I got the timing he became one of my favorite bosses. His headless version isn't that bad either.I STEAMrolled BLB once i learned him

This is my first "Souls" game and I've loved it but man invasions might as well not be a feature. I remember people talking about how tense being invaded could be in the previous games and the way it's set up here just isn't frightening at all.
I never got invaded while summoning co-opers. I never got invaded before killing the Maiden in Nightmare Frontier, I only got invaded once in Nightmare Menses before killing the bell maiden, and that guy didn't even touch me before I killed him in one combo with my blade of mercy.
It really seems like 95% of any PVP you're going to do is going to come from actively seeking it out with your own sinister bell.

You guys got me terrified to do these chalice dungeons. Just sounds like a lot of pain. Atm I'm playing MK X a bit to take a break from Bloodbrne's crazy bosses. I had enough trouble with the bosses in NG.
I went Bloodtinge build but I dont think it's really for me. In dark souls and demons' I was always a Strength build. Should've stuck with what I know I think. Going to level up my STR, VIT, and END a bit more in ng+ and then eventually do the harder chalice dungeons. So far I've only done that piss easy dungeon (depth 1)

I believe it is about 200,000 to do that area, plus the wraiths by the lamp, and the various imps a floor down. If you have a weapon that cuts down the spiders quick though, probably less. Still a crazy farming area.
Chalice dungeons are a lot of fun. Early on they are easy as shit, though.
One last trophy to get, the 3rd ending!
I did the first two endings with Saw-Cleaver and then another new character with the Threaded Cane (This second character I also finished the chalice dungeon for the Trophy too).
Now, for shits and giggles, just started and brand new run, did the jumping glitch to get to the Forgotten Woods right off the bat and got the Cannon. Got to level 30 STR and just at the BSB. Going to just have fun with this next run. Have to do Djura before thought to get the Powder Key Hunter Badge. Falcon Punch my way to Pirate Cannon Duel Combo Attack!
Gotta keep playing this game and burn myself out before The Witcher 3.

IMO that is the hardest boss of that chalice.

Yeah it isn't lacking the "true" experience or is cheating to use summoning in order to beat the game. You are even encouraged to help other players in need by giving insight and bunch of souls without any risk.
I think I'm done with the game for myself. I don't see me wasting time with Defiled Chalice 3rd Boss. I just wailed 20 minutes on him dodging everything perfectly only to drain him what, 30% hp? He easily one shots me or staggers me to death. Nope thank you. I also can't stand chalices anymore. It's the same few rooms over and over and over and over again with no differences. Utterly boring.
You sound like you're trying to justify yourself. Yes it's lacking the "true" experience. That's a fact. Period. You're free to make the game easier for yourself, but beating it this way isn't an accomplishment. At all. It's piss easy to co-op any of the souls bosses.

BLB V2 was easy...queen was harder
EDIT: Close and at its side
I found that to be the easiest boss in there, especially after it tears its arms off. Once it does, stay close and it cant do anything, I use L2 on the scythe to swing high at its remaining arms
EDIT: Close and at its side
He just has too much health. I'm hitting the tail for 70-130. It's the only safe place and there is no dodging when he flails around.
Also how can he be the easiest? I first tried the first boss. lol
Didn't tried 3rd one too much. I'm sick of chalices so this is just the final nail in the coffin. Tried only 3 times or so so far.
opposite for me. BLB v2 took me a bunch of retries. Queen took me first try lol.
To be honest, I was stuck on the first BLB v1 for quite a while in the non root chalice. Up to that point, he was the hardest boss I had faced. Beating him eventually, after being stuck on him for quite a while, caused me to really learn his tells. Git Gud so to speak, I just had to go through a soul destroying phase of learning him.
So when I got to BLB v2 in the last chalice for the achievement, I actually found him really really easy. I knew how to bait out his attacks, knew his tells, knew how to attack him without danger. I just had to adjust some things for his new abilities (the homing blood shots, and when the worm comes out of his head), but once I got the tells down for his new abilities, and knew how to avoid him, it went back to being a cakewalk.
I think I spent maybe 30 minutes on BLB v2 and definately wiped until i figured out his new stuff, but once I got his new abilities, its almost a fight you can do without even using a blood vial on.
I will say, defiled Amygdala, was a royal pain till I figured her out, I had no where near that much trouble with story Amygdala.

Well I did beat every boss solo on my first playthrough so I don't think I need justifying myself for doing coop on new playthroughs. Summoning is a tool given for player to overcome the challenges the game throws you. Same with upgrading and leveling up. Those things make everything more manageable and easier to progress through the game. And I don't really think beating the game solo is more of an accomplishment than beating it with summoning.
edit. Also only true BB experience is beating the game with waste of skin and without weapons.

whoa! its in the
forbidden woods
It's all about the first playthrough. On NG+ or a 2nd NG you're free to do whatever your feel like.^^
I can't follow the sentiment that it's "equal" if you play the game solo or co-op the entire game cheesing through it, often not even realizing what challenges particular boss fights present, since you wail them down within seconds. One is sometimes a challenge, the other makes almost all bosses a 100% trivial.
I think our differing boss experiences depends on our playstyle. it's funny whenever I read how easy one boss was for someone but it was much harder for me and vice-versa. for example, I thought Rom was challenging but kinda easy. other people had huge issues with her. pretty diverse opinions on boss difficulties which is great.
I did a run yesterday just to get it. Found it. Guess I will save it for some PVP fun. Does it work well against later bosses? Thanks!

Don't listen to these scrubs. Defiled Hotdog is the true boss of Bloodborne, everything after is like picking daisies in a field while your lover gently caresses your cheek.
Whew. Heck of fight. Took a bunch of tries. I'm mostly a two handed manly man, but had to parry to do any legitimate damage to him.

Yeah it's funny. Pthumerian Descendant was probably the toughest in the chalices for me. But others thought he was easy.
Not even that hard. It's more about patience and endurance.

yea the tail is pretty sturdy, the arms take the most damage and are safe as long as you are close
Bosses don't go down in seconds with coop though and isn't cheesing unless there is some coop specific tactic that breaks the fight. As long as you don't break the game and use only tools the game gives it is the true way of playing it. Opting out of using the tools the game gives you isn't the true way of playing the game. It is more of an challenge mode such as SL1 run that the players have imposed onto themselves.

Damn....thoroughly enjoying this game. Could easily be GOTY.
Definitely going to be a contender. It's so good.
Could be? Isn't it already confirmed?
Haven't tried this but wouldn't be surprised if he would dissapper like Eileen. You should be able to go see him easily though before that fight.
I met him after VA so you're good.
Not sure what the trigger is, but I did not have Alfred summons available for BSB on either NG or NG+. I did VA before BSB each time. I know I talked to Alfred and told him I would cooperate with him each time prior to getting to where his summon sign is for BSB. But I also opened password door (but didn't go through) before going to BSB, so may that is the trigger why I could not summon him.
I am not sure what the trigger is whether he is summonable or not, but it must be something I missed on ng or ng+
