I can easily imagine someone getting cute with the summoned ghouls. They almost got me a few times.

That fight felt like I was kicking puppies. Almost felt bad for them.
Yeah, I probably should've tried that strat. Instead of running around, rolling and dodging like a maniac. Lol I literally crapped my pants at 3:16

Perfectly level. Maybe over level actually... I remember the slugs taking a few hits, you have your weapons upgrades right? Should be +8 and higher
It's just crazy up there man. You are higher leveled than I was in that place. Use Tonitrus on the slugs though.

That's not normal at all. Your level should be OK for this part. What weapon are you using, and how high is your str and/or skl?
Just platinumed the game. It took me way less time than DKS1, which I put in 160 hours for the platinum. Sorry SoulsGAF, I am going to against the majority opinion here, but, I think this game is superior to Demon's and Dark (haven't played 2).
The control you have over your character is very responsive, and the hunter weapon/pistol combo creates some badass moments. Its a deep RPG, with one of the best action gameplay mechanics in years; right up my alley. It also easily surpasses the strong points over the previous games in lore, music, and atmosphere
If I had to nitpick, it is that I wished the main story path had more bosses incorporated into it, and, the chalice dungeons to not be in state that it is in right now. It was really boring at times, but dem bosses waiting at the end are worth it.
But those are small gripes. My GOTY and GOTG so far for sure.

Can't believe how much I love Yahar'gul, the Unseen Village. It is one of favorite levels in a long time. Same for Upper Cathedral Ward.

Finally beat Abhorrent beast solo with blade of mercy. I would like to come back to him some time and try to dodge the attacks better instead of just retreating and countering though...i felt too much like Mayweather!

I find the atmosphere in this way more overwhelming than the previous Souls games.
After beating
last week and reaching
I needed a break. Only just booted it up again now.
Thought it'd be nice to explore other areas first though.

Went back to the poison swamp in the forest and found the Cainhurst summons and an Umbilical Cord (I assume this is important?), and now I'm gonna explore the Lecture Building.
Can I get back to the Gaol at some point? Was going to tackle that but I can't warp there anymore.

Loot stays the same in NG+. Early enemies still drop shards, etc.

Wha...? the ground slugs? I thought you're having difficulty with EVERYONE'S FAVORITE monster, the Insight-sucking-fuckers :/
Something is definitely wrong if you're needing 10+ hits to kill the slithering slugs... maybe you mean the Insight-sucking-fuckers instead? Either way, use Buffed Tonitrus or Bolt-paper-enhanced weapons to stagger them to oblivion. Bonus points if you're using thrusting weapons.

No need to apologize, it's certainly better in many cases!
you just farm components needed?

No, I want to create a Chalice where I can get Blood Rock on layer 1 but I just cant create it trough Glyph
You can't find it or?
Cyborg

I find it but when I want to use the glymph I get a message you dont have the requirements.
Well you need the materials for it also and you probably don't have them if that message pops up.

The glyph you're using might not be for the same type of dungeon you just created?

Beat Logarius at level 30. Best fight in the "Souls" series I've ever had. He could 2 shot me in any stage. My tactics were:
Stage 1: Constantly rush him with Blades of Mercy and use the running R2 attack. It did about 120 damage per hit. On the odd chance he uses his melee attacks, parry and counter.
Stage 2: Backstab that bitch to avoid this stage altogether.
Stage 3: Bait the scythe attacks for the counter. Buff gun damage with Bone Marrow Ash. This caused me to do around 250 damage per shot, with a successful counter I was hitting him for around 600 damage. Call him a c*** as he spams the aerial and dagger ground moves leaving no window for me to hit him.
I ended up with 11 Blood Vials left and 2 bullets. Felt good to finally beat him.

Yeah, but once you take out the witches that cause respawning those areas become normal.
In that area, I would always run past the enemies being controlled by her and kill her. Then I would deal with the normal enemies.
Like the bosses every area has a strategy and once you get that strategy down, those areas become quite manageable.
The game never allows you to get careless though.

No idea why you guys use spoiler tags for a boss name! Lol
Anyway, she is the absolute easiest boss by far. I went into her fight totally blind and had no idea what to expect. For every fight I would watch a YouTube video to get a feel for what I was up against, but not her. I always expect to die on my first battle.
I kept waiting for that moment where that fight would get tough and it never did.
I just beat her and was like okay....whatever I felt I deserved it at that point.

I have hard time understanding how it's possible to even get that far on that level!

I keep dying on
but everyone says it's an easy boss
Amygdala
If I get knocked away from the legs I just die because it attacks so quickly, there just doesn't seem to be a chance to safely get back under the legs.

Run around it until the arm smash attack (the one when they end up parallel to the floor), hit those a couple of times, retreat and repeat.

I just got behing her and hit her tail, its not a weak spot it will take some hits, but she will not hit you unless she makes her jump attack. Just roll recover position and go on. Its a pretty easy fight once you get to avoid the jump, her other attacks dont do a lot of damage.

Killed her
Now I suppose I should stop putting it off and go to the Unseen Village.
Afaik, that and Cainhurst are my only options atm.
Yeah their attacks hit really rarely but when they actually do it you they fuck you up good.
Logarius sending my ass to bonfire like
You and me both pal! Went back to avance through Birgenwyrth and the Chalice Dungeons. I'll try again in 10 or so levels.

Cainhurst was more difficult for me than Unseen Village, the boss its not that hard, The one in Cainhurst is probably top 3 difficulty.

for sure. Killed her in the first try in G ,NG, but died once in NG+ because she used attacks I never seen her do before and caught me off guard.
He has high resistance to elemental damage. Equipping gems that boost the physical damage of my Ludwig increased my damage on him. Also, check out arcane-resist clothing.
He gave me a lot of trouble too, but once you figure out his skull attack pattern in the beginning, he becomes manageable.

The rifle/spear is pretty cool.

Man, I think the toughest enemy fighting the Headless B
B
is the camera.The arena is so small and he constantly jumps back to the wall so I can't see anything that's going on.
Took a half dozen tries and it was bit rough, but I won:

Hmm maybe I'll post a pic of my guys stats or something. I was using the cane +6 at that point for range but my usual is BoM +8. the two pimp dudes on the walkway put up a hell of a fight too. it's really weird how it's spiked.
I've been playing the game mostly blind so I wonder if I've fucked up the order somehow.
