And there is a trophy for that upgrade =/.
You can try to get several in the chalices but the materials are kinda rare and requires some late game chalices

well i'm running through a NG+ playthrough anyway so I'll get it eventually, just really annoying since I need it on two weapons at least
and the materials for what are rare? the chalices themselves?
Probably. I'm in early NG+ as well and only unlocked four main chalices. Biggest problem is how boring they are. Exploring them feels like a chore, and some of the later ones require you to be high leveled. I felt that the Chalice version of Bloodstraved beast was stronger than the one in NG+, and not ust for the lack of pillars and smaller arena
And I haven't gotten much chunks yet.

I'm in depth 3 of the intertomb and main ones and yeah, they're just boring
I have my two main weapons to +9 though so i can't complain too much

Hey I'm a little stuck on where to proceed. Defeated rom and paarl and the witches of hemwick as well as the bsb in old yarnham. The unseen village/yarghul stuff seems crazy difficult with the respawning enemies. Need to unlock the upper cathedral but I keep getting wrecked. My character is level 60 with a +7 sawblade. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance..

could try the Nightmare Frontier, other then that just chalice dungeons and level up or run past the enemies
My recommendation? Go back to the Forbidden woods and go the back way to Iosefka's Clinic. Get the unopened Cainhurst Summons on the table in one of the upper floor rooms and go to Cainhurst. The beginning of Cainhurst will feel ridiculously hard but you will get blood echoes like crazy and can level up very quickly. I did some grinding there and got my Bloodtinge up high enough to use Evelyn and it was well worth the time I spent.
And in other news, Platinum trophy get! It is my first ever platinum and my save file says I clocked just under 84 hours. I had a friend that helped me do the Chalice dungeon stuff and so that likely lengthened the amount of time it took since we were basically doing everything twice (once for me and once for him) but I got so many blood echoes and gems that it made NG+ easier than my first run through.
Bloodborne was and is a fantastic game.

Sounds interesting. I beat the shadows of yarnham, is the back way to the clinic near that area?
Edit: found a video, thanks man and congrats on the platinum man.
i just went HAM on Abhorrent Beast.
Finally took him down.
What did I do differently? well i was previously dodging up left away from most of his attacks that start from his left hand. But I figured let me try dodging up right like many others have suggested. Thank god for iframes.
Another thing I did differently was not to back away from him ever! (unless he does the ground slam). What was happening was I would dodge the first attack and then try to backstep quickly away. Apparently this was a big mistake as he can sometimes punish that backwards movment. Instead I would double down and dodge up-right again! under his next attack. Then attack once.
So thats dodge up-right attack, dodge up-right attack. At that time he backs away himself. I then waited for an opening and went back into position for my strat.
Beating him was soo friggin satisfying.

Mad props. That guy is just straight up hard. Several of the chalice dungeon bosses are very hard solo and he is up there among the top tier.

In that area of death and depression before Amy. I didn't even get either shortcut :/
So I was fooling around in NG+ and I think after ~2 hours of rushing to the main bosses I found myself facing against
. Only managed to die once up to that point, and it was against
of all bosses lol.
I think I could've managed a no death playthrough if not for that one misstep, damn.

Wow at Forbidden forest. It has to be one of the best areas in any "Souls" game. Its so expansive and was astounded how you could go to the things you see of in the far distance as you go down the level. There's a sense of fear with those plagas and massive snake bundles and the worst thing is how easy it is to loose your sense of direction. The art direction is also second to none. The craziest thing was how the ladder takes you back to the beginning of the game......like how, my mind cannot fathom how that one shortcut worked.
Anyway now I'm in Cainhurst Castle and I feel like I'm not meant to be here. I'm lvl 40 and most my points have been in SKL and Bloodtinge. Axe + 3 is still ding pretty well though. Admittedly, I did come here because I heard this is where you go to get the Katana but to my dread it seems you have to kill the boss first. Is it possible? My attacks are doing so little damage :/

40 is really early for Cainhurst. I think I was level 70 when I went, and even still those first enemies were taking me down pretty quickly. I don't think I get a katana there either.

Oh I fucking hate nightmare frontier, it's one of the worst designed areas. I hope you have that frenzy resist rune and the ashen armor set and some blue elixirs. Amygdala isn't hard though. Just throw on some bolt paper and attack the head for a visceral attack and she'll eventually go down..

Why would you use Axe if you put your points more in SKL? You're just gimping yourself unnecessarily, really.
Level 40 is alright for that area, but the boss would be so much pain to defeat, hahaha.
Also, you having access to Cainhurst Castle means you have access to lots of Twin Bloodstones in various areas so no point in keeping your preferred weapon at +3.

Do yourself a favor and switch to either the rifle spear, threaded cane, saw spear, Blades of Mercy or Reiterpallasch because I'm pretty sure either one of those should be able to do more damage than that axe since they work better with the skill stat.

Yeah the shortcut for it is really close. Luckily I killed her the first time. I was probably so OP that I felt sorry for her.

So it's pretty much impossible to see some of these endings without having a guide to tell you what to do right?
I just found part of
in the
and I looked it up to see what it was. Supposedly I need to
to get one of the endings. Were you guys figuring this out on your own while beating it? This is my first time playing a Souls game and these steps just seem damn near impossible to string together without knowing what to do beforehand.
I just found part of
the umbilical cord

There is a random note in the library section telling you to eat three umbilical cords, outside that, nothing
Laughing Banana
Weeping Pickle
It's not even telling you to do that (it's on Lecture Hall 2nd floor btw)
The note just said "Three Umbilical Cords". Well, it's next to the note stating Paleblood is the thing summoned by Laurence and his cooperators.
She gives you sedatives 4 times IIRC and then her questline will be finished. It would be stupid to give infinite supply for something that expensive.

I was saving the twin shard and chunks for when I get the Katana but I probably have excess.
The axe just has such a good moveset, especially the charge attack. I think I have 185 ATK rating. I have probably picked up the Reiter without even realising lol
I hope you did a good ob of raising bloodtinge and skill because that weapon demands it.
Laughing Banana
Weeping Pickle
Well you need 16 of corresponding stone types on each level so if you have more than 16 you might as well use them. Besides, later on Twin Blood Stones can be purchased for a measley 10.000 echoes each so yeah, no real need to actually hoard them.
JadedWriter

Do you have a good amount of points in Bloodtinge?
How do you remember all of this? I can't even remember the order I fought the bosses any longer. ... and I agree, it isn't clear at all what you are supposed to do with the three chords.

So here's my situation. I have the shortcut for both The One Reborn and Amygdala but they're both too hard, I could probably kill TOR if I spent some hours on it but I've been losing interest in the game and I just don't have that in me. My question is what's a good level to be for these bosses? Bear in mind I suck at these games and don't want to bash my head against them all day. Also, is there anywhere "safe" I can farm the chunks to upgrade my weapon? It's currently +6. I've been farming Forbidden Woods as it's safe, one run of my route takes about 12 minutes and it nets me one level and a bunch of vials so that's what I'm doing ATM.
Oh and why can't I use Fire Paper any more? I guess it's not compatible with my Holy Blade? Is there an alternative I can use?

Bolt paper should work with Ludwig.
As for the other question, I don't remember what level I was when I beat those two bosses, but I guess it was somewhere between 80-90. I was definitely overleveled for Amygdala. Forbidden Woods was also my farming round at that point of the game. I beat the game on level 100.
I got enough chunks for my main weapon by searching through all the environments, and killing those little crawlers that appear and go into hiding in each area.

Have 18 bloodtinge and 23 SKL
The rapier is not that much better than the axe. Its got DPS but it staggers less and moveset is not as good.
I'm kind stuck now. Can either fight Darkbeast Paarl, Logarius, Shadow of Yarnham or go to that place where there are two hunters.
Logarius seems to be to tough for me, and Paarl is just annoying. Goddamn targeting keeps changing from the head to the body >: Haven't tried the shadows though.
TOR is pretty easy boss once you arrange your priorities.
First thing first, when you enter dont even bother attacking the boss. Run straight past him to the right to go upstairs and kill the 6 bell ringing women on each side.
After that's done, run down stairs and ya... just stick and weave, attack the leftish/rightis side of the boss that is lower to the ground (he's a big seesaw). So hit him 2-3 times then simply strafe away to avoid the falling bone masses thing. Rinse and Repeat.
Only thing to watch out for is when he covers the whole ground with poison, when you see him charging up for that, just run up the steps a bit. Then rinse repeat.
Really simple boss once you take out the bell ringers.
All those bosses are pretty tough, i would say do Paarl and summon help. Then do Shadows (I did this solo but it was omg tough kill the katana first!) Logarius after those

Yeah, I beat all the other optional bosses before that, which was a mistake concerning Amygdala.
EDIT: Just checked my trophies, and actually I didn't beat those in the

Nope, I get more than 4 sedatives before Rom phase.
You are okay for amygdala, he is pretty squishy with well upgraded weapons
Checked wiki and she should give you sedatives three times then go out to get more. After that you can get sedatives only once more and then she is gone. Not sure though if the questline only finishes after Rom and if you could get infinite amount before it.

I'm hoping you guys can give me some advice on him. I know everyone says stun with gun and visceral him, but it's not working for me. I got him down to a sliver using bolt paper and ax, but then I didn't heal and got wrecked. I'm level 65 right now. Should I come back after beating some other areas or just keep working at it? Also, which weapons and buffs give the most damage output against him?
Currently using +8 ax and +8 cane. My build is mostly vitality, strength, and skill.
