Not positive,
the guide I glanced at kinda made it sound like getting her badge might disrupt Alfred's quest.

When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.

So, guys, I can't keep up with this thread so I do beg your pardon for asking something likely asked a zillion times already.
If you had to choose one, would you go with a Ludwig's Holy Blade +6 or a Tonitrus +6? I really enjoy both, but that durability on the Tonitrus is a REAL bitch. Ludwig's is ace as hell, but pretty slow and I don't care for the 1-handed variant. They're both fine weapons but if you have a preference I'd like to hear it.
Also, the blood chunks to upgrade weapons past +6, wtf? I'm trying to beat
currently and so I'm fairly far and have only found one single, solitary, lonely little chunk! I grind a ton, too. I'm almost level 77!

Rom
Blood Chunks literally start appearing after Rom. Also, you really shouldn't need either a +7 or up weapon or to be so over leveled to bet Rom.

Fuck. I just
in NG+ not realizing you get the 3rd moon rune from it. Is there anyway to get it without having to go there in NG++?
Edit: Praise the moon for PS+ save!!!! I was able to revert to before I did the previous statement.

It's my most used gesture, I love it.
so...... FRC dungeons...... I died 5 times to a maneater boar until I learned to just hug his rear flank.
now i'm stuck at a room with one of those fireball throwers, a dozen spiders, and a sage. I can't rush the fireball person or else the spiders or the sage will get me, and I can't go after the spiders because fireballs. fantastic.

Arg I hate the stupid bloodstain in this game. Lost more echoes because I couldn't see it. Did Lost Izalith teach them nothing.
Bring back the green!
On the bright side I'm liking Yahar'gul more the second time through. This place reminds me so much of Blighttown, a major pain the first time through but once you know what's up it becomes way more easy going.

was there a suggested level cap at around 100 or so where i should stop levelling up to keep coop and invasions going?
I would go with Hunter's Dream or Lullaby for Mergo. The First Hunter track is really good also.
*cough*
I think that's the suggested pvp range but I still find regular coop and invasions in NG+ even at lvl 150. I'd imagine it's more active the closer you are to a 100 or 120 though simply because of Souls players habits tell them to stop there. I only lvled up to 150 to help do the chalice dungeons to get the platinum though or I would have stopped at 120.

Gotcha, thanks!
Currently speedrunning through NG+ to find all the bosses i missed out on my normal run. Want to be as powerful as possible but still be able to get coop buddies to help clear out mandatory bosses on the way faster

You'll still have trouble finding people for Rom though, although i think that's just because people don't like that fight.
If you grind a ton then just grind out the mats for both weapons, snatchers drop them from time to time.
If you're just going for one I'd say Ludwig.
I finished. First 'Souls' game I've ever finished, and then I went straight into NG+, love it.
I got a 'bad' ending I think:
I quite liked that ending actually. A pleasing circularity to it. Off to the lore thread now to get some more thoughts.
I sort of blitzed the last few bosses in a couple of hours session, ran around clearing up all the little loose ends I was able to clear - had to summon for a few in the end, I just couldn't do them:
Holy shit at the
fight though, I died maybe 30 times there, used all my vials. I could have banged my head against that fight for the next year and never done it. I applaud any of you who did it solo (lots of you I know), to me it was almost impossible. The camera would just go utterly mental at times. I had to summon 5 times too before finding someone who could assist, my summons kept dying first.
Pleased I've finished it. I'm going to have to look at a guide though, I want to try and get the stuff I missed (didn't do Eileen's quest first time for example). Reached the Cleric Beast in about 15 minutes, hilarious to me as it took me maybe 3 hours to creep my way there first time around. Problem is his HP is a bit massive now, so I going to have to fight him a bit more clever than I did last time when I got a bit lucky.
I got a 'bad' ending I think:
I only consumed 2 umbilicals, chose not to die at the tree and then once Gehrman was dead, the Moon presence came down and embraced me, I became the Gerhman's replacement in the wheelchair and the hunt started again

Oh, one more thing to do in NG+.....learn to parry with the guns and do visceral attacks. I never used them on the first run through, maybe once at the start, found I couldn't get the timing reliably down and then never used my gun again. I only tried the cannon a couple of times too. So yeah, never really got into firearms.
NG+ though, I've been practising on the low level grunts by the bonfire. I'm getting better. I also ought to try out some other weapons. I relied 99% on the hunter axe in two handed form in my first playthrough. A bit of Tonitrus here and there, but always came back to old reliable.
I've also got most of the Chalice Dungeon stuff to do, only dabbled in those.

You finished the whole game without this? O_O
Whoa... So your NG was basically NG++++ for you. Meta.
wtf? :O
I was under the impression that you couldn't buff Reiterpallasch due to the blood attack/weapon transformation...I already have it at +7 but I guess I'll have to upgrade this badass needle more. The more I play and see from the game the more it justifies my belief that the weapon selection in this game is amazing and greatly underrated by a lot of people who criticize the supposedly lack of weapon variety.
Also yesterday I killed
Defiled Watchdog
Defiled Amygdala's

I did that as well for my first playthrough... went full 2hand mode first with the Kirkhammer and later with Ludwig's. I did it mostly because tradition, I'm a fan of two handers in the souls series.
Now I'm doing a skill/tinge run and ofc I'm parrying the fuck outta everything, but there's a certain... purity in the dodge/hit dance.

I can be musically impaired though.. but I tried.

Other way of cheesing:
Poison darts
Otherwise:
You have to figure out when to evade forward through his first attack, his follow up attacks miss you most of the time then. If you are successful you have enough time for one or two fast attacks before retreating. Rinse and repeat.

All of my trophy screenshots show the gesture menu, lol.
How dark are everyone's settings? Mine are on the lowest as per the set up screen, but when I see footage online it's all much brighter, which would make for an easier game imo.
Thinking of bumping mine up, Old Yarnham is incredibly dark in some places and I have to use the lantern+torch.

I love how when you're setting up the game, it tries to trick you into using brightness settings that are obviously wayyyy too dark.

Ha, I found it easier to not parry and visceral. I was so bad at it, I just never figured out the timing at all, almost every single time I tried I would miss the timing and get dead so I just found it easier to stick to the axe. I used my gun to lure enemies most of the time, rather than pebbles.
The two handed axe has such massive range it made certain enemies/encounters so much easier for me than trying to get up close and parry. Time the R2 swing right and you can knock most enemies on their arse before they even get close.
But I'm trying to learn to parry in NG+.

He's one tough fight.
