and
today. Both very easy bosses.
Also got an awesome Hunter Tool which
.. awesome. Gonna put more points into arcane so I can use the other tools I have as well. My build is skill/arcane, and I use Blade of Mercy + Chikage. Dunno if they actually benefit much from arcane though.

Did you pick up an item on the
throne where she was sitting?
revive her
Blade of Mercy only does Arcane damage on certain attacks (rolling/dodging Attack, transformed attack, and a couple of others). You'll be able to tell because the weapon swing will sound different and you'll see a visual effect on the weapon. At +10 it has an S scaling with Skill but only a B with Arcane; I don't think it's worth leveling up Arcane for it. I kept my Arcane at 15 to use the Tools that required 15 Arcane, and didn't bother with the others.

Blade of Mercy has arcane dmg so it will benefit from arcane but not so much since it has low scale on Arcane.
It's a feature that makes the game MORE HARDCORE

Just finished off
and man is this game weird!...also the area this boss is found in is crazy hard!

Problem is, even if only pressed a little bit, the action gets carried out immediately.
Attack by accident more often in w few weeks ps4 than I did in 8 years ps3.

Ahem...
if that was your final boss, I'm afraid you made the wrong choice. xD
I can believe not dying to bosses in NG+, since that was mostly my case too (I died to some bosses in NG+ but not many of them, and only Ebrietas killed me more than once IIRC), but his claims about the same simple strategy working for every boss seems full of shit to me. It reeks of the memory leak glitch, even.
Huh? The game doesn't "scale"... unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean.
1) I completely disagree, but it's a dead horse and I don't want to drag up that old tired debate again;
2)
Kill the bell maidens, problem solved. It's a bit amazing how people fail to notice that...
As I posted in the other thread ("Non-Souls players, how's it going"), I am still mystified as to how people even struggle against Rom. Not only is she one of the easier bosses but comparing it to Bed of Chaos? Come on.
Thank you!
Haha, I do that too
Yes, that area was rather difficult first time through.
I don't doubt your experience but it's been tested and the drop rate is definitely lower in Cainhurst. Some people prefer it though since there are more gargoyles to farm.
Have you gained access to the central plaza in Cathedral Ward?
Yeah, that's...no.
Rom
Simple question guys: I recently got the Pthumeru Chalice. Does this cost something (1000 echoes and 2 blood ritual, I think) every time you want to try the dungeon, or just once to make it accessible?
I'm still not really sure why the game demands a button confirmation. Just flash a notification and move on.

The cost is what you pay to place the chalice on the altar and create the dungeon. Once created, you can enter/exit it as any times as you wish. Bosses in the dungeon don't respawn, and once I defeat all the bosses in a given chalice dungeon, I usually delete it. If you remove the chalice from the altar, you delete the dungeon and will have to pay the cost again to remake it, or make new ones with different chalices and materials.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I really want to beat him without cheese tactics. Something about this Chalice Dungeon stuff being side content makes me not want to cheese any of it.
I think so, yeah.
I completely forgot about that guy. Where do we find it? Is it the one in the workshop, before the locked door?
If you were exploiting some design weakness I could see it as cheesing, but using tools in your inventory to widdle down his health seems like 100% fair game. Either way, good luck.

Okay is it me or is BoM one of the better weapons in this game?
I use that and Ludwig. I am debating about changing up and using the Burial Blade but it doesn't seem to have the same damage output as the Ludwig or the speed of the BoM to change up styles... It looks cool though...

Near the Central Plaza (circular cemetery with 2 huge dudes) in the Ward.
You've examined the skull after killing VC, right? Exit the cathedral and go down the stairs to the round plaza with two church gaints. The one on the right is guarding a gate. That gate will lead you to the next area.

I'm loving my BoM playthrough. It's a lot better than most other weapons I've used except it is pretty terrible on most bosses.
Ludwig's was way better though.
It happens all the time for me. It seems that you will have to die/return to the dream in the village at least once for it to work.

The only reason I change to say the Cane or the Saw Spear is for certain bosses due to the extra 20% to Beasts and whatnot but Ludwig is just too good against all the other bosses.

I'm at level 541, with 3 eye runes... So my discovery is high... Wolves in upper cathrdral is the best place to farm blood chunks. Ng+ is better because starting from forbidden woods, there's a blood chunk in every stage.
Side note: gargoyles are spread all over cainhurst where as the wolves are in one spot.
The Undead Giants drop blood chunks.
The giant on the second floor of the lecture room drops blood chunks.

For Central Yharnam:
Warp to Central Yharnam Lamp
Take shortcut gate, go into house, kill the two enemies on the first floor.
Exit house, kill two brick guys and get vials, take elevator to bridge leading to Father G.
Kill everything there, including the 2 enemies close to the fog door.
Jump off near the ladder that leads to the aqueducts (near the top of the stairs where the flaming boulder trap starts) and suicide, or Bold Hunter's Mark back to lamp.
Repeat
???
Profit

I've seen it happen in co op. Exit and come back, and it should be fine

Fair enough. It's just really easy to keep distance from him as long as you don't lock on, so killing him with poison seems like a completely no-risk style. I guess calling it illegitimate was not right, but I'd rather beat him straight up. If this were blocking my progress in the story, I'd have no qualms about cheesing him, though. Weird how I feel differently about the Chalice Dungeons.
Level 541?! Just how many hours have you been playing? Are you on like New Game +++++ or something? Speaking of which, where does this game max out when it comes to New Game + difficulties?
Any good spots for Blood Echo farming? I've been hitting the Lecture Hall room with all the slime students, getting a decent 12k echoes or so per run with the upgrade rune, and since the area isn't too large it loads fast.
Just wondering if other people have found more lucrative spots

a) Sedatives and frenzy resist runes/gear
b) An alien landscape from a Lovecraftian nightmare cannot, by definition, be "completely fucking awful", unless you meant to write "awesome" instead of "awful".
I know you won't be convinced, but I feel the need to voice my disagreement regardless!

I use that spot as well, but I equipped 2 Moon runes and was getting ~20k per run.
Certain rooms in Depth 5 chalice dungeons give you 100k+ per run, and they only take me a few minutes.

Do you find people to coop? I am level 238 and every time is harder to give/get help
From should unlock the 10 level difference to give/get help , its fine for invasions in order to give fair chance to both parts but for coop From should let anyone abobe your level be ing avaliable to help you,
Pretty sure you should go to the F

that's nuts I have 2 moon runes and I usually go through
margos middle
I'll try Yahargul.
Well, the werewolves aren't nice to me. 5 runs, nothing. Few Cainhurst runs, 3 chunks...
Best early game I know of is old yharnam. You need to open the shortcut. Werewolves do well here.
Next is Witch's Adobe. 10k+ runs + bunch of vials.
Then 2 level 4 dungeons, spider + werewolf locations. 100k+ in 5-10 mins.
Then level 5 aliens + werewolves, etc... 100k+ in few minutes

Never farmed further areas since I did chalice dungeons.
EDIT:
One of the spider + werewolf locations may be lvl5. One is definitely lvl4.
Yeah I just tried that and it worked, thanx.
Yes, that happened to me. Just restart the game.

Went back to
to grab some gear I missed the first time. and immediately got wrecked several times by the first enemies (spider humans) in the area. Weird, I didn't really have a problem with them last time. o-o
Also.. where/when do I get blood rocks?
