So I finally beat Defiled W

worse? :/

Nah he's much easier to cheese if that's what you want to do Still fairly hard though until you get a hang of it all. The first boss probably hits harder with the rush but it's also easier to see beforehand than the second's equivalent hand crushing move.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Ugh, here goes nothing. >.<
Can it be stunlocked with LHB?

Good luck! And yeah just focus on a limb. After enough damage, you will break the "armor" causing a stagger and the chance to perform a visceral attack on her head/face.

 

[HardRojo]

Just beat Vicar Amelia on my NG+ playthrough. I hadn't touched Bloodborne for about 2 weeks but it feels good to be back.
Vicar Amelia NG+
I think I was somewhat sloppy. I'll pick the pace back up as I keep playing again.

Hit her hand holding the watch.

vicar amelia was a really easy fight but I do have a holy blade +5 (or w/e u can get to without chunks), and was at lvl 50? I think. wanna say i had 30 vit, 25 str, 15 skill. beat her on the 3rd try.

I dont remember pretty well but she is around 32 to 36 lv boss

edit: at below, yes , in my top 10 games. not that I've ever made such a list, but it would def be there. maybe top 5.

 

[Kevin Shields]

My friend wanted to know what Gaf's consensus on Bloodborne was. I told him it was one of my top 10 games of all time but he still doesn't know if he wants to pick it up. So what should I tell him? What's the consensus?

It's easily the best game I've played this generation by a huge margin. A great interconnected world with fast pace and aggressive combat and enemies. Plenty to see and do, plenty to do postgame, and each boss encounter is just unique enough to make them all exciting, even the easier ones. I wish I could travel back in time two months to play it fresh again

Your friend takes this GAF persons word over yours?

Seriously though, just tell him it's an amazing game. It's easily the best game so far this gen imo.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

yes, passwords works.

You sure? Tried it for about 15 minutes and no luck. We had same passwords, were within each others level, and I already created his dungeon on the side.

Overall I believe the feedback has been overwhelming positive. Of course there are some issues such as the coop system, lack of different builds, etc but its noting really major. I would highly recommend this game if your friend like the previous souls games.

 

[Toxi]

I am going to do a level 4 run. Wish me luck.

 

[Kadey]

I just need to do the chalice dungeons and I'm done with this game. Those damn red spiders.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

If anyone is having trouble finding inflicted organs for the foetid offering, you might be interested in a chalice dungeon I made. It has six of them lying around in chests.

Glyph: e75tx77d

There is one chest with one on Layer one or two (don't remember which) and a chest with four(!) on layer three, as well as another one with one on layer three.

The bosses to get to layer three are easy (beast-possessed soul and merciless watchers)

It's a lower Pthumeru dungeon without any offerings.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

The fat naked rolling dudes in the Chalice dungeons suck.

 

[TheBear]

I just unlocked the pthumeru root chalice. Is there any reason to keep going in that same dungeon or should I activate the root chalice?

My GOAT. Unapologetically amazing in a dozen different ways.

 

[gunbo13]

That framerate... This is a no nonsense kill. I could have made my life easier not fighting in the jammed corner but was impatient.

Woo! Beat her!
My hands are shaking, haha. Molotovs and fire paper helped. I was a bit sloppy, but made it.

Now, is it necessary to turn the world to night? Or can I keep going normally?

Turning the world to night unlocks the next part of the story, so you will have to change it eventually

Ah, okay.

As for the item you get, do you need to keep it for the password? Or can I use it right away and still use it for the password?

lol really? I didn't farm that much, at least I don't think I did. I cleared the charnel lane and then ran it a couple times but that's it. i also didn't get hit too much by amelia. she's pretty easy to attack without getting touched.

 

[inthrall]

Use it, the password is "learned" by watching the cutscene

Could have done better. You get a bit rusty not fighting guys for a bit. I try to take them out as fast as possible.

I almost can't find any pvp matches as of late... Not sure what's going on. I'm level 140. Used to find them all the time.

Has anyone bested Rom at SL4? I've only had a handful of attempts thus far, but man, this is not going to be fun at all.

An asshole boss is an asshole boss even in a low level dreeeeeaaaaam.

I uh... had a pretty easy time with him.

I've never thought the boss was hard, though. I took my time and killed the adds, if that helps you.

As a Waste of Skin? Or in general? Sure, he's extremely easy when you can afford to cop the odd crystal torpedo, but at Level 4, it's a pretty different ballgame.

You just want to stay close to Rom and proc his mid-range/close-range attacks instead of the rain of death.

Haha. Damn. Guess I've got a lot of "fun" times ahead of me. Final boss I can definitely see being a lot more difficult, but Logarius seems like he'd be reasonably manageable/predictable.

And yep, I'm staying close. Like I said, I've only had a few attempts, but I'm not envisioning the most stress-free time. And to think of all the wasted Bolt Paper...

Cheers for the feedback, Zocano.

Few more tips: Avoid using limited resources as much as possible and just try to learn to be consistent at avoiding damage. I would only suggest using bolt paper after *several* attempts. This applies to healing vials and bullets, too.

Marty Logs was difficult because you could die very quickly very suddenly and it just required being completely perfect the entire run. The same applies for the last boss but it's even more grueling and difficult. At least the run is super super short for the latter. I imagine I clocked around 3 hours on Loggy and I am definitely sure I will eclipse that number for the last one.

Last thing, on bosses like Logs where you can abuse the parry system, having Oedon Writhe, Clawmark, and Blood Rapture runes on is actually super helpful. At least for me it is. It's preventing me from running out of resources at all (in-fact I think I've used nearly 0 in total for the last boss) if you use it in combination with making blood bullets (up on d-pad).

Yep. This is actually a very good tip that, whilst simple, doesn't naturally occur in the mind of an impatient "adult" not very fond of being humbled by video games.

Cheers!

yeah just stand at range and try to get the slam until she enters her second phase. In that phase I hugged her side for a while and wailed on her but it seemed kinda dicey.

Edit: Farming for these 9.8% and 72.5 arcane gems is boring as fuck.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Wow. I was expecting it to be very hard and very frustrating but I was able to defeat Rom in the chalice dungeon on the first try. My level 10 Ludwig and bolt paper did massive damage.

I am at level 125 and have 39 and 40 invested in skill and strength as well as vitality of 41.
Nevertheless, I was expecting it to be much tougher.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

I'm curious- Pure Blood Chikage users, how do you all deal with the Defile Chalice?

I have 40/40 SKL/BLT so I can fall back on whatever Skill weapons as back-up but with an already small margin of error, that constant hp draining has got to be a nightmare.
