The clinic exists to store a cord and have the second location for NPC quests. It's not game critical and you can still easily get 3 cords without it.
You farm the chunks before NG+. That's what I did. You need 16.

Anyone got tips for the
it's his V2 form in the Great Ptheumarian Chalice. I get him down to half his health fairly easily... Then everything goes to shit once you know what pops up.
Bloodletting Beast
ah, I see, thank you
Tonitrus and Saw Cleaver should be good for that build too unless I remember their scaling wrong. LHB is really great. The slowness of it sucks at times though.
You could have saved some chunks to upgrade it though. It sucks in the first playthrough sure since you don't know that you will get it. It isn't useless though.
For v2, don't use lock-on (same for v1) or square up to him. Keeping rolling at his legs and attack. Pop vials if he catches you with his turn around stuff, etc...
Yeah seriously. It came off as super condescending, not sure what was up with that.

I fought him with a bloodtinge build and I honestly couldn't find a good way to get a hit in with my chikage without taking some damage in return. In the end I ended up beating him purely from range with my evelyn, with the help of some bone marrow ash.

If you want to be cheap, just use poison knives. 14-15 knives will do the job.

haha, i think i'll call it a night, my +8 Cannon does miniscule damage to Ebrietas and does not stun her at all :E
need to try that fight later with a more honest approach i guess.

Ok thanks! Will proceed tonight.
Get some Bone Marrow Ash and shoot her face. Should do wonders.

All roads lead to Rom. He's pretty cute, wanted to give him a hug at first.

I just found the thread and yeah I don't get it. Your OP was a good read, and it had sparked a decent discussion. I mean if the Modbot said it was too redundant with other BB threads, then okay, I can understand that, but the snarky locking post is just kind of WTF on a video game forum. Oh well.
I never did Great Isz Chalice and I got the plat. I never farmed for materials either, I just simply did every single side area in all the required dungeons and fully explored them and got all the materials from the actual main game. Never had to repeat a dungeon for materials.
Stay close and dodge left and forward to get off a few quick attacks. The only attack that hits behind him is the backhand, and that has a very obvious wind-up animation, so quickstep or back step to dodge that after you get a few hits. Rinse and repeat.
You aren't supposed to get Red Jelly anywhere else than Lecture Building, Great Isz and that one other Chalice. Did you go through NG+ again before doing the Chalices?
oh of course i used BMA and aimed at the face, that was the result
Hmm.. it should do decent damage and open her up for visceral after few shots.
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
You can buy Red Jelly from the insight bath too. But before that, you can get 2 from Lecture Building and 2 from Lower Loran. No need to even go to Isz.
I can't understand why people needed to farm for materials. I never did.

When the Red Jelly opens in the shop? I would rather go Isz than Lower Loran since Isz is much easier.
I had to farm for materials few times even if I had explored the dungeons properly and killed every enemy. Usually I was just one or two away from what I needed.
edit. Just checked that you can buy it after creating Ihyll dungeon so can't be bought before the dungeon you need it for.

I was more devastated by the fact that I could've gotten it in NG+. I managed to semi-speedrun to it though the boss fights were a bit more stressful than usual on NG++
Got the dungeon now. I threw away too many radial tempering gems so I'm glad I was able to get some new gems in their place.
Also, I "noped" after a few attempts at the hunter
in the Grand Cathedral. I swear his build is legit PVP viable while still having inflated boss stats.
I was doing the dungeons off and on as I played through the game and I was well into NG+ before I opened the final dungeon.
I don't think the moveset is too hot, either. The 1H is especially awkward.
KittenMaster
Member
I actually find the 1H moveset very good. It swings in such an angling arc it actually tags enemies trying to crowd you.
It also smoothly chains to R1 after a jump attack, so you can use Jumping R2 as a combo starter.
I would say that the 1H moveset is actually better than its 2H moveset (except when you want to use charged R2).

The Threaded Cane is pretty good in pvp. Spamming L1 (transformed) and everyone is going panic-mode, lol.

I've lost like 4 insight because of losing connection to the network. Despite there being no issues on my end.
Another reason I really don't like the bell system.

To be fair less insight is actually a good thing (unless you want to challenge harder AI).
Actually I don't even know if it's true boss AI gets harder with more insight, anyone have any proof?
I doubt bosses change with insight. Or that enemies get additional attacks. Shit, to be honest, the only difference I know of is the pale dudes getting their weapons buffed.

I just got cheesed by Martyr Longarious. He planted his sword in the ground and somehow it glitches such that I couldn't destroy it. While I am trying to destory it, he knocks me off the roof.
I'm not mad. It was funny and I was actually doing pretty well in the fight since it was my first time fighting him.

Nuh-huh. It's amazing in NG+ and NG++ and later Chalice Dungeons, and its damage is quite strong. The 2h regain is insane, almost never used vials during boss fights because of it.

BSB in NG+ is probably one of the hardest boss fights ever. Fuck that poison.
This weapon is amazing. But I hate it that you have to wait until the end of the game in NG+ to level it >6.

He is a dough eyed puppy compared to pthumeru.
I can't argue with that. There are two ways to go against that thought, you can get the burial blade before NG+, and you can have 16 blood chunks stored up. But it's not a great argument cause you likely have to hear about either of those tips online. I personally checked the weapons wiki so prepared 16 chunks. I don't consider that a real spoiler.
It would be another thing if it isn't awesome, which is not the case here, it is. So yea, YMMV based on a little luck and snooping.

Damn, it's frustrating to suck at this. Ugh, why in the heck can I not avoid getting happy fingers and using up all my stamina. I swear that leads to more assrapings than anything.
When it comes to evading I am just hopeless. I always seem to do it in the wrong direction and get hit.
It's just so frustrating, because you know what you need to do to win...

TOR, and Amy are 2 of the easiest bosses so far, besides VA and the Witches. I haven't tried chalice lower than 2, but the hardest in game boss for me would be DBP.
Also fought like 5 dif hunters in my recent session, had no idea there were so many in the world. Finally killed those 3 fuckers, and then fought 2 more in NF.
Also the NF in general was a pretty cool looking area.
Seems like I' coming towards the end of the game. Still haven't played in online mode since the very beginning of the game.

Blue Elixir. When he gets to his second form, pop one try to get under him. He'll often completely lose track of you and just stand there while you flail away on his legs. You may need a second dose depending on your DPS and stamina.
This doesn't work all the time -- he still killed me the first time I tried this. But he was a complete joke the second time when he couldn't figure out where I went.
Well I finally beat the story, and what an awesome ride. I love how everything kept building and building until the end.
was an epic boss fight. The setting and the fight mechanics were awesome. Ended up killing him with 3 vials and 2 bullets left, but still managed to
afterwards. He was kind of a letdown since he looked much scarier than he actually was.
Not sure I'll go too far through NG+. I wish I could hop on to do some coop and help people out with some of the later bosses, but I guess I can always load up a backed up save if I want to do that. Anyway, easily my game of the generation so far and it'll be tough for anything to displace it. I can't wait for some DLC!

Anyone know where I could find high level bloodtinge gems (level 10+) ?
I never came across a single one after three playthroughs. I only got a bunch of level 10s.

Chalice dungeons. Specifically depth 5 chalices.

I like hiding it and pulling it out at the last second for a quick kill. This was the first time I used it since they apparently patched it... sucks that it uses 12 bullets now.
