I like to leave a lot of social commentary in my notes and end up getting healed a lot during boss fights

I am still confused about this: Can I just make a dungeon with modifiers once and then have them available for all time (for all different chalice types) when it comes to searching?

I must be terrible at this game.
Actually, I'm a fair bit lower than that. Might be I need a few more levels. Think I'm about 30 at the moment.
Aaaaaand I finally finished the game. Killed all non-chalice bosses alone. Had to wiki strategies on some bosses and few times checked where I'd need to go next.
Some thoughts:
- I disliked the "button memory". Sometimes after getting hit, it would do my attack that I would have done. Not sure if you can cancel attack animations, but that got me killed a lot.
-The world was a bit empty comparing to DS. It was interesting though.
- I kinda liked that they forced you to be more aggressive. Parries seem to be way too hard to pull though, so I just two handed Ludwig's once I got it.
Overall the best game PS4 currently has. Need to play something relaxing now. Broken Age probably.

On the final boss and beat all the optional levels and bosses. Only completed 2 Chalice Dungeons. My level is 101. Thinking about either playing a NG+ or moving on the DS2

Taking a break from this game after BSB was a good idea. Cleared Hemwick 1st try, cashed in a ton of blood, killed VC first try, leveled up and now I'm breezing through the forest.
Good stuff. Finally feeling like I got over that hump.
Gunspear R2 is fantastic btw.

So beat defiled, Ihyll, ailing loran, lower loran, and great isz. So all non-random L4/L5 basically. The
was a cakewalk.
Now I'm farming blood chunks. Joy. Guess all that is left after that is to get some blood rocks in online dungeons, then onto NG+. Can't believe the damage I can do with Ludwig's coming from only cane playing.

Go to the left of the entrance before her and clear that area of you haven't.

Not at all, sometimes bosses just click I think, FG took me what seemed like an age and I had a fair few goes at BSB and I just got lucky on my last attempt at him, keep going and you'll be all good, nothing beats the rush of killing a boss in this game for me!

Will do, thanks.
This seems to happen a lot, lol
Decided to finally use ShareFactory and made a quick video from a few PVP encounters
Any time I know I'm about to set my controller down in Hunters Dream I always get 10 feet away from her and face away from her for this very reason

Nah. How much dmg are you doing per hit? I am not sure what's the correct level for her is. But try leveling up.3 times

LOL.... But don't worry. Whatever happens; you may think it all a mere bad dream...
I have a level 26 character with the cannon which I used last night to help people out. I can help you beat VA if you want. I killed her at least 10 times last night.3 times

Have had to do some work here but thanks for the offer!

Yeah, if I was early in the game I would restart but I've killed so many bosses that it's impossible for me to even consider such a thing. I hope she wasn't that important in the story. I don't really even care for the story in a game like this but I liked the occasional new bits of dialogue with her.

using vials? smh
Vial-less PVP in this game isn't fun in my opinion because fights end way too quickly. Also, I'll link to this video since it mentions good ways to punish healing.

She respawns so it's all good.
Thank god for that. I wonder if she'll bring it up lol.

Has anyone here done a level 4 run? Was it comparable in difficulty to a melee-only SL1 run in Dark Souls? Armor can't be upgraded and I haven't found a weapon that does flat damage instead of stat-scaling, so I'm a bit worried those two things will make low-level runs a lot harder than they were in Dark Souls.

I'm trying to defeat
without using vials simply because I refuse to go back to the first area of the game and farm for vials (I prefer the Estus mechanic from DkS1). It's driving me crazy and crushing my pride but I feel this is the intended Miyazaki way to play anyways now that you can regain health (forgot what the system is called). I wish I could save state and practice dodging the charge attack. The lock on almost always whips me around back into her range. /rant

You know you can by vials in Hunters Dream right?

I do. And I might make it a personal rule to only purchase vials or otherwise find them through natural game play.
I dislike grinding and farming in games

Got the three
in Y'
and killed The O
R
in two tries. I got a little too aggressive in the 1st fight when I was a few hits away from beating it... so you know what happened.
Edit: I almost forgot to mention I came back much stronger and destroyed my old nemesis, D
.
I also checked out the chalice dungeons this weekend just to see what they were about and hopefully find some goodies. I took down a bunch of the bosses there pretty easily but it is starting to get repetitive and I haven't found a lot of loot.
I am liking the improvements the patch made to loading. It's much faster now.

Don't level up. Instead spend all your echoes on vials every time you go back to the Hunter's Dream.
That's what I do in all my NG runs because there are no reason to level up any offensive stat in this game during your first run.
Also, Saw Cleaver all day since it's an amazing weapon that doesn't require any stat increase to be used.

I actually did this, but she just got hit - she didn't die.
Another time I fired my gun, but it missed her by an inch. Yay! Haha.
Yeah, first time I fought

I like to balance between having plenty of vials/qs bullets and not maxing them because I can't stand having to confirm away inventory full messages all the time.

There is no way to cancel animations in this game or in the Souls series. Much like Monster Hunter, you commit to each action you take.
The notes should have been orange again.

Yep! Learned this way back in Demon's Souls after accidentally smacking the Nexus blacksmith.
Just an empty tombstone. It's free to create another chalice dungeon of the same type. I would always place my chalice down and then go search for a popular glyph.
After killing rom, is it ok to kill the old man on the chair?
I initially tryed killing his pets, but his dumb projectile attack would keep killing me. I guess in NG+ he's gonna be ridiculously hard then

I hate how the rules of the arena don't really apply to him. He can leap through and throw his scythes through the pillars.
Started playing finally and beat the blood-starved beast, earning my first chalice.
Interacting with the gravestone is a confusing mess. I somehow have the 2 mats needed to create the first dungeon, but if I use them I can go freely back in and out without farming more right? Talk of starting this early to avoid game imbalance at higher levels makes me consider tackling the first chalice now.
A few basic pointers to keep in mind for this side of the game would be helpful before I potentially blow these materials.

Do you mean the
jump into the back of Iosefka's Clinic
You can always visit him where you first met him in Cathedral Ward to have a chat with him about it.
As long as you don't remove the chalice from the altar after creating a dungeon, you're free to go in and out of it as many times as you wish. Chalice dungeons will have 3, sometimes 4, bosses that do not respawn after death. If you explore thoroughly, you will find the materials needed to make the next chalice dungeon. And eventually, most of the materials will be sold at the regular bath merchant or insight bath merchant.
It's the PS4 controller triggers. They're pressed when the controller is in a resting position.
Kinda a design flaw if you ask me.
Aw, really? That sucks :/
