No guides for me. My next playthrough I will really try and discover everything.
The best place for grinding outside Chalice Dungeons is the part between Micolash and Wet Nurse imo - the 3 Shadows of Yarnham, then let the two pigs and the 5 SoY kill each other and you pick off who's left, then there's another couple of SoY down the stairs to the side. With all 3 Moon runes equipped that run is the best ratio of time/blood echoes I think.
Yeah I don't think I was able to do much of the dlc the first time at level 60 something with I think +6 weapons. I can't imagine Ludwig at level 44 with a +5 weapon. I'd probably pull my hair out. "My attacks dey do nuthing!!"
Wow, I'm so clueless with this game!
Isn't that the path to Unseen Village after you kill Rom?
I'd die in one hit to that jump he'll sometimes do when the battle starts, I'm never the best at soloing him, I just can not do it.
Ah, ok. I have the tonsil stone now, time to get grinding.
I'm nowhere near all that stuff yet I guess!
Oops, sorry I assumed you were farming later on.
I actually have a moon rune now I look, but can't you only equip one rune at a time?
Why would I need to do that if I'm dying to them every time?
That includes acquiring the Beast Claw from the Ailing Loran chalice, and the timer never stops during the breaks. I don't think it would be much below that even when accounting those, as the first chalices were pretty easy at that point.
EDIT: For comparison, it took me 182 hours to complete Dragon Age: Inquisition, without the DLCs, and I imagine it's well above the average playthrough time. I just like to take my time with games.
I went there at level 41, it's rough to say the least, it wasn't my first time though. I can parry most of the hunters, especially the one that uses the beast cutter, but they take like 4 parries for them to die.
I've had open world fatigue for years, but I was able to muscle through that till the game just made me bored. Not enough story I think. Granted Bloodborne has that problem too, but the core gameplay is fun and the environments are great looking. I hope when I eventually sit down and play Witcher 3 I can have some fun with it.
I'm fine with open world games that have more restricted areas though, like DA:I and Infamous. I enjoyed DA:I and its characters, but it seems I can't bring myself to continue Witcher 3. I guess it's a combination of too large and daunting game world (given my habit of completing all the sidequests), clunky combat, and a main character that just isn't to my liking.I've never had a lost version of any of the weapons I've used. Never put the time into hunting for them or grinding out the materials to +10 one of the damn things over something I found just playing the game.
Which is why I've never really dealt with lost, uncanny weapons. I have a few, but the ones I've found in the chalice dungeons were always just weapons I've never used. I don't even think I have a lost or uncanny Threaded Cane. And I've ran a good amount of chalice dungeons too, Root and all.
I have an FRC Isz on my NG++ not using Arcane character. I think I made it to Defiled Amygdala on my Skill/Arcane character and said "fuck it" and stopped cause I hate Defiled Amygdala.^After opening a single depth 5 r/c/f dungeon, you can search for glyphs and enter them as many times as you want without the cost of materials, assuming you have the needed root chalice with you. I would've saved a lot of time by knowing which bosses had these ideal gems, in the beginning I spent time not knowing what I was looking for.
I'm down for starting a small arcane guide for all of this. If you play bb regularly, it's totally worth it I swear

I haven't dealt with an Isz chalice in months...Both my characters are stuck at Defiled Amydgala. I know my str/arcane was...I don't think my Skill/Bloodtinge even touched Defiled yet.

Yes. Though if you're on a NG+ cycle I think you can just buy them now.
Thanks for the clarification.
I do them in an odd order and tend to not skip any. More my fault than anything else.
Can't go wrong with any. Hunter axe might be the easiest noob friendly weapon with its "spin2win" charged r2. But really all of the 3 starter weapons are fun.
