Oh, I can't imagine anything I'd want more than more swinging blades.

So you can only get like 3 total rocks?

Oh wow, I didn't know they limited it in the Chalice dungeons like that. Good info, thanks!
Yes. 3 from Chalices and 1 per NG.
I hate those things. The camera is such that I can never quite judge whether my character is in the "safe zone" between blades or not, so I constantly get knocked off due to what I view as bad game design. The fact that there's usually somebody shooting something at you while you try to do this is also kind of cheap.
I thought I would hate this chalice, but I actually ended up enjoying it. The second boss was the hardest one in the entire game for me (so far -- haven't finished the last chalice yet), but it was fun nonetheless.

I largely avoided them. One of the toughest enemies in the game for me.
That's really dumb. Thanks for the info.
If you are talking about Physical attack, blunt and thrusts are both physical attacks but they scale differently, so they each have their own stat of how much damage they do. But, overall phsyical attack is just talking about your overall which combines all your attacks into one score.

Been listening to the Bloodbourne OST lately and still think "The Hunter" is the best one of them all. Especially when the song goes into it's second phase and things start getting super intense. Went along so well with that early fight. Hell, I even added it at the end of my running/workout mix on my iPOD and it gets me pumped as hell when I am sweating and feeling the burn.

It's either that or the
. That song was one of the most haunting things I've heard in a game.

It's either that or the
creepy chanting you hear when you arrive at Unseen Village

Thank you for the tips. Will try on him again later this afternoon.

ya they are nasty, so far the best I could do is jump back then jump in for a hit, then jump back and repeat... it's like a 2 minute fight per , which sucks, and not much room for error.

I agree with you. I really like "the hunter" from the OST and the Cleric Beast as well.
Edit:
You need to beat
the witches and get the rune tool. It's a easy boss battle. Take a left and follow that path before heading up to vicar amelia
One of the toughest normal enemies in the game for me (along with the singing brain frenzy woman). I couldn't really "figure" them out. They just seemed to wreck me a good few times. I just gave up and suicide runned the items in front of Cainhurst and just sprinted into the building.
there are two versions Amelia? Ive beaten Rom if thats any indication of my progress so far
workshop/altar in the hunters dream (when you enter, straigt ahead) . But you need a tool from an optional area ... area spoiler :
hemwicks lane > beat the boss there and you find it in a room)
he had me there for a sec. I went full on fire dam on my Ludwig until I realized that my dam doubled when I went to phy dam instead. I was bummed but I tore the enemies up after that.
Man. These Chalice dungeons are a snore.
I'm so close to platinum, it'll be my first ever. Closest I ever got before this was on Dark Souls, think I got everything but the 'collect all weapons/spells/armor' trophies.
Honestly might be the easiest game to plat. I just need the other 2 ending trophies and the rating 15 blood gem one.. that's the worst. I've found at least 10 rating 14s. From makes every other trophy easy as fuck to get, then you have to go through like 20 chalice dungeons to have a chance at getting the last trophy... lol
Haven't made a Great Isz dungeon yet, though. Might be my problem. I've had 8 of 9 (5) Ritual Bloods for ages.

Castle Cainhurst is an absolute marvel.
Its like some twisted disney land ride.
The fact that its an optional location just blows my mind. The balls on Miyazaki

Lure them to the big doors you push in and they will bottleneck. Then you can take care of mamma once you find your courage

Castle Cainhurst was really cool, but it was like... a really lite Painted World of Ariamis, heh.

haha no, my apologizes if I worded it weird.
if you go to the grand cathedral, take a right by once you get out of the door by those 2 church servants with the cross. It should lead you to a cave and forest/graveyard area with alot of guys with guns. That leads you to Hemwick Charnel Lane where you can kill the witches to get the rune tool. With the rune tool you can equip runes back in the hunter's dream.
have the corruption caryll rune equipped and kill any hunter (NPC or players)

I've never played a Souls game before. I own Dark Souls, and feel like playing it, but I'm wondering if I'm better off starting with Bloodborne instead? I don't own a PS4/Bloodborne, but I can see myself getting them at some point. If Bloodborne is worth playing first for some reason, that may expedite me buying them.

So close.
So damn close Ebrietas and I bottled it.
Probably shouldn't have been using blood echo runes though. What's the recommendations. I'm thinking Lake, Great Lake and Arcane Lake.

Ludwig 2hd will stun lock them, easy peasy.
The assets are really great but the area overall is short. I have to imagine that they had ambition to expand Cainhurst much further, but instead regulated it to an optional. Which makes it an awesome optional.
Well I got that Platinum last night, and in the process discovered that this Bloodtinge character I created for my last playthrough is a total boss.
Chikage + Evelyn hits like a truck. I'm like level 70-ish with that one now...probably going to get it up to 100 and invade some poor hunters.

We were talking the other day trying to understand the "Details" on those who Invade....
Like the Level/% range....If an Invader is say Level 90, what range can he go up and down?
I've heard of the HP Nerf so is it the same as a co-op helper? Is there any other Nerfs or Buffs?

I hate those things. I got their attention then put some distance in between us to bait their jump attack. Charge up a Ludwig r2 as they jump towards you and it'll stun them for long enough to hit them the last few times necessary for the kill. If two gang up on you at once then run away.
My favorite location in the game so far. The atmosphere is incredible, even if the enemies are kind of boring.

I've been dumping all of my NG+ points into Stamina, seems to be working well.

urial blade is waaaaaaaay cooler than I thought it'd be. Sucks it isn't anywhere near as effective as my Saw Cleaver +10 in its current +4 incarnation, but I'll be maxing it as soon as possible. Every swing is made with full intention to decapitate it's prey
I stopped at 80 with it, although I'm curious how it will do with the better gems from Depth 5 Chalices. But man, it destroys shit both in PvE and PvP.
I would do Dark Souls first.
Just the 70% hp nerf, believe the invasion formula is the same as it is for co-op, not positive on that though.
Think the exact formula is +/- 10 levels +(10% of your level).
So for a level 90 your range would be 71-109
Yeah that L1 to R1 combo, where you unsheathe the Chikage into blood mode and then do that horizontal slash? So. Good.

I love the Reiterpallasch! It looks really cool and the transformed mode is so fast, the only weapon that attacks faster is the Blade of Mercy. You can do some great parrys with the transformation attack aswell
Must also add that if they fix the elemental gem bug you will prolly see alot of Reiters
