Go to Hypogean Gaol and kill the 5 snatchers there, they get stuck in the doorways there so its an easy kill. Use the echoes you get to max your vials, bullets and molotovs
The Saw Spear or the Saw Cleaver. Scales of both stats, The spear scales best with skill though but still good, D in str and C in skill at +10. The saw cleaver is the alternative with an C in str and D in skill at +10. Both are saw weapons so they get a 15-20% dmg bonus against beasts, there are alot of beasts in the chalice dungeons
Blade of Mercy! I can't comment on STR weapons as I'm a DEX build, but the BoM can stun-lock most enemies, and even some bosses. The last part of the game was a breeze with it at +10.

FUCK
I DID IT
FUCK YOU ROM
FUCK YOU RIGHT IN YOUR TINY PUCKERED "BUT HOLE"
I came back home for a second to try again, and rung the bell. After five minutes, someone jumped in. This godlike figure murdered the hunter that's been griefing me, and then once the battle started, he went to town on Rom, smashing him so hard in the first phase that he skipped that and went right to the third.
The fight was over in five minutes.
So thank you, whoever you are. Know that you'll always have a special place in my heart.
Furthermore, I know some people pull the ol' "HOW COULD YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH ROM", but everyone has a different playstyle in this game. Whether it be skill or strength, cane or saw, I feel like everyone's experience is different.

Alright, I have it upgraded to +7 but stopped since I wanted to focus on LHB and chunks are really scarce. Wished they would be able to buy during NG+ :/.
One thing I legit dislike about this game's controls is that if you hit transform during a roll, you automatically do a transform attack. I like...never want to do that. But I would like to transform my weapon regularly after a roll sometimes.
About the only thing I can criticize on that front, but it can be annoying.

I asked help twice for Rom. Both times, the guy went and died on Rom's second phase xDU You got lucky that you got a good partner

Rom took me about 6 tries to kill.
Fighting him from a distance is useless because his area of effect attack. I'm a little disappointed with the red moon phase. A friend of mine kept hyping it up, and even some of the posts I read here on the OTs. I was expecting shit to get real. All the enemies to change in all the different areas of the game. Instead, I just got to the next level which is what I was expecting for the rest of the game.
Also, I think there is a bug in the forbidden forest with the sky texture. It didn't change to the red moon when I went there.

Hunter Axe scale more with Strength. Cane and BoM scale better with skill.
Pretty successful evening:
Those crazy frenzy brain things in the frontier make me laugh though. The music and waily singing kicks in and all I can think of is the brain spawn from Futurama, THE BIG BRAIN AM WINING AGAIN and leaving FOR NO RAISIN.
Killed The One Reborn
Killed Darkbeast Paarl
Explored Nightmare Frontier (didn't kill Amygdala)
Explored a good chunk of Mensis and figured out what I need to do to kill Micolash.
Upgraded Axe to +9
Levelled up to 68

What weapon are you using? Since he is super aggressive use that to time a charge attack. I did that with Ludwig's Sword and got him.

Same boat, only way seems to start again at NG+- I cant even store the cords for NG+
Is there another boss? Very curious as my ending was
Embraced by the child and I assumed driven mad to some extent
Kamina
Golden Boy
You mean the moon-presence? Thats not a child; but yes, there is a way to fight that thing.
You have to collect them again in NG+.
Wait...I CANT GO BACK AND EXPLORE WHAT I MIGHT HAVE MISSED?

Yeah, it's kind of unfortunate they went with the Dark Souls 1 way of doing it instead of the Dark Souls 2 way.
Luckily, one of the most fun things about these games are playing either NG+ or starting a new character.
Problem with Bloodborne's ending(s) is that it is completely implausible for you to resume your adventure after the ending.
Even with Dark Souls 2, it never made any real sense at all until they patched in the new ending.

Only one.... Go in him.
Your natural reaction is to evade and go back....just go forwared when he attacks.
Awesome welcome to the club! I just got mine this morning as well

No but they are apparently very hard so it would be wise to at least get to the Lecture Hall so you can farm souls for levelling up/replenishing resources.
No they stay the same. The depth affects difficulty.
Also this. I ended up getting plat at level 167 if i recall
I figured out the key to avoiding that attack every single time:
Roll when you hear him roar. The sound comes right before the punch. I found reacting to the punch itself to be hard since it's so damn fast.
I finally started this today even though I've had it since release day. Load times are fine, only mucked around with it a couple times pre-1.03 so I didn't get a chance to see if they bugged me or not.
Butthole puckering not knowing where the next lamp will be as I roamed further and further away from the first one you discover. Opened up the shortcut so I can basically dash to the Cleric Beast. Got it down to 1/3 health both attempts I've made it on it but I run out of vials and having to farm for them is already going to be something this game tests my patience with.
Axe is pretty good, figured I always used claymores in the previous Souls games so that would be the best fit. I guess now that I dun fucked up and lost the 6000 souls I had built up for good (oops) I might as well explore everywhere before going to fight the stupid beast again.

Agreed, although I think it's a situation where it might have been a prudent decision to let gameplay take precedence over story. (Not saying they should have changed the ending(s), but rather just shrugged off why you can keep playing, like DS2.)

I remember reading something about a long past age as well in the game.
Ah, shame! I was always going to have to do a NG+ though.
Yeah I guess but I suspect Miyazaki didn't want to shatter the suspension of disbelief considering all the twists and turns the story takes and how emotionally significant the endings are.
DS2 has no real story to it if we're honest so it can get away with the ending not being the actual ending. Plus, you can imagine (although how implausible it seems) for
your character to get up off the throne and go "you know what, I'm a bit bored here. Maybe I should go see how the rest of the gang are doing back in Majula"

Seems like bloodstains will be there if you didn't pick them up else where.
