Considering how bad is the PVP in BB I am relieved, I never tried to platinum on Dark Souls cuz Covenant PVP farming against broken builds

Should I be searching for help on depth 4 and 5 dungeons?
Probably. Ring the bell when you show up on the level. Fight the boss when somebody shows up. Clear out what you can before the.my do.
If you never die you don't have to ring the bell again on the next level.
You did good.

I don't know why the one thing that makes me feel bad when I kill it is that ugly frenzy brain in Mensis. It shouldn't, but it just does.

You people and your whips disgust me. Why use the whip when the Beast Cutter exists. Or the gun-saber? Or the shotgun-Halbred? I don't get you people...

its the bell women that annoy me tbh
I would equip the Choir set to maximize your resistance to Rom's attacks and take the spiders slowly if you're having that much trouble. Use the bolt paper to deal a bit more damage.

So I'm conflicted. I have a character at lvl 35 with the following stats
Vit 20
End 18
Str 16
Skill 15
BT 9
Arc 7
And my blades of mercy & rifle spear are +3
I spent a few points on stats (str) that in hindsight could have gone else where, and I wanna be mostly skill and BT. So basically I made a some mistakes on state increases and I'm wondering if it will cost me in the end?
So I started another character
I'm already lvl 25
Vit 15
End 9
Str 9
Skill 13
BT 14
Arc 7
Should I stick with the 2nd character? Or are the wasted points in str and such not that big of a deal? Am I completely overthinking this? This is my first playthrought FYI

Did anyone ever compile a list of "shared fixed dungeon" glyph codes? I can't find it with a Google search. But if you've already formed that chalice and you want to get back to it after removing the chalice then it's hard to find the code via searching.
Yeah I just decided that I didn't want to keep going got kinda tired of how long it and slow it was taking to slog through each attempt with the spiders bigger health pool and more aggressive attacks.
Maybe I'll revisit that character later on. Right now I'm focusing on my beast claw build. I beat Rom in Pumertu Ithyl Chalice dungeon last night on my beast claw character first try so I guess my strategy is OK.
Thanks for the advice though. When I revisit Rom I'll use the choir set.

A couple levels towards Str isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. If you ever want to try out any Str/Quality weapons later on or during your subsequent playthrough, it'll just speed that process up a bit. I say stick with your first character. Echoes aren't that hard to come by either.
Quality=Weapons that scale in Str and Skl btw.
You mean where it grabs and flails it's face all over you? Then yeah, main game does have that.

The first area in The Old Hunters is a doozy. Hunters everywhere. The giant executioners are a pain too. I accidentally wandered into the boss chamber too. I'm thinking I may have to summon for him.

its front heavy, it gets easier as it goes on bar final boss
I would say it gets easier and then it gets substantially harder. Last area can be tough
ShogunDarius
Member
only the troll with the metal bar is hard in the last area
Orochinagis

Cuz the area is smaller and his frontal attack takes like 40% of the area and you can get stuck in some rock if you are not careful enough , his grab is an instant death so far in Ailing, in normal you can survive if you have high Vit for that battle (which barely anyone does) but the grab in normal is super rare and you have to be pretty close and in front of him to make him do it
Heh, only you know you can parry him is game over for him

I agree and he's not even difficult himself. It's only because
the other one drops down.
Orochinagis
Member
Nah, you can later enter to another antrance and get it easily or use a shaman bone to make them hostile to each other
Well if you do it that way you still have to deal with Frenzy and the Winter Lanterns... what non-boss weapon in the game is harder to obtain IYO?

Holy Moonlight Sword
The original question posed was "outside boss weapons" but yes, absolutely 100% the Holy Moonlight Sword is correct if they are included.
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
Yes he does, well it depends on your health. But Ailing Loran BSB is like NG+ or even NG++ difficulty, and the smaller area makes it harder overall.
Orochinagis

Winter lanters are easy if you have sedatives, those enemies cant really kill you on the first frenzy, heavy hits can stagger them easily giving you time for a Blood vial after the frenzy explosion.
Holy Moonlight Sword
ding ding ding. pretty few know you have to wear church clotches to get it or if you take your time Oscar kills Ludwig and the weapon is no longer collectable.
If Simon kills Ludwig he'll give you the sword if you talk to him.
I guess that he might move up to the tower after a while, but I'm not sure if that triggers until you talk to him by Ludwig's head or not.
Yeah I agree and I like the combat a better in Bloodborne. Better to have a smaller number of good weapons that a ton of similar feeling weapons. And Bloodborne I feel has similar quality graphics but it feels better optimized for PS4 since it was only on PS4. Although DS3 has these huge open areas that Bloodborne doesn't really have.
I think you only get summoned to the area where you are in. So you must have reached the area. Higher chance of being summoned near your current location. Usually near a lantern or near a boss door.
For the short root chalice you only get summoned to dungeons and floors that you have already accessed.
In both cases you don't need to have beaten the boss yet yourself though.
I found them to be pretty awful on NG++, too many ways that they can OHK you. Easy on NG.

Ugh still stuck on the
in NG+. Got really close <5% left and got greedy and died. I'm lvl 101, am I underleveled here?
Living failures
Do you use the shield when they do the blast thing?
Ludwig is still sleeping in mine.
I didn't know Simon showed up in ludwig's room. Only had him show up in the nightmare church, the research hall, and the cottage.
I mean if you got past Ludwig already I don't think you're under leveled at all lol.

Finished off Ludwig without that much difficulty actually. While I did spend a fair amount of time memorizing the first form's attack patterns, the second time I summoned Valtr I got through.
