feels so conflicting. On one hand it's a lot of fun to be PVP'ing like Dark Souls had things arranged, but on the other hand I feel kind of shitty every time I kill somebody. I know if I was progressing through the zone I wouldn't want somebody invading me. :|

I almost exclusively PVP there because of how fun it is. I usually ring the Bell outside of the castle door where all the spiders are,just in case the beckoner has a cooperator with them. If they do, I'll drop the spiders down to make the fight a bit easier.

On the other hand, my favorite place to co-op is Yahar'gul since the 3 hunters are basically an infinite source of Blood Dregs, and the

is fairly easy with a cooperator.

Whoa!! Where do I get it????

Bro you got to tell us where you got that shirt!

This user on Reddit drew the design, a lot of people said they wanted it on a shirt so she made it on Teespring and it got super popular.

...enough that Sony sent her a takedown notice. So the campaign stopped but it's goal was reached so she sent out all the shirts anywho!

Quick question -- I just beat the second boss

Father Something or another

Should I head up or down?

Spoiler

Up towards the cathedral and down towards Old Yarnham

I read there are some easily missable things, and I don't want to go a direction that makes me miss anything.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Finally gotten around to getting my platinum trophy ( my first one )
Have gotten close before in other games but something or the other always stop me from doing it.
Now to wait for some DLC or BB2 .

Sweet, thanks for the quick responses.

Generally kills you in a hit

I was able to take a charge attack and live, had 811 health after it was halved. I also wore the Bone Ash set and had 5% and 10% health runes on (which made my health 811).

She gives you plenty of time to get your charged R2 off, so she spends half the fight on the floor.

I'll say it right now: Bell Ringers + Infinite Spiders is the worst enemy combo From any Souls game. Nothing puts me on edge more than those bastards.

Heh. Thanks. Don't know if I'll bother then, unless it's really useful.

Just realized you can actually sprint. Only took me 20 hours of rolling around like a retard to randomly come up on the note that explained that in the hunter's dream.

I'm level 121 and have vitality at 50, end 40, str 30, skill 36. I'm using Ludwigs physical dmg. What should I be dumping points into? The returns on everything is so minimal now but I've just been putting more into strength.

More levels won't save you. Don't get hit and kill it is all you can do.

Question about going from NG to NG+: Do you keep all your badges? Or should I grind/buy all the stock I want first before attempting the final boss?

Screw putting points into stats, you need to learn how to dodge my friend. What runes do you have equipped?

Yes, I really like it as well. Reminds of Game of Thrones a lot!

Your stats are really high. Endurance is likely too high-- you'd have gotten more benefit by having it in the combat stats, unless you're getting a chance to dump like 10 attacks into the doge uninterrupted.

Bone Ash set FTW. What are you wearing now? What Runes are you using?

Dodge and swing. For certain moves just gfto out though.

Cool, thanks. I've bought all the weapons I plan on using for my current build/playthrough, but didn't want to have to collect all the badges again to get the trophy if I didn't need to.

The only way I could make this fight work was to use the short sword for Ludwig's blade, I'm sure Kirkhammer works too, and poke at it with the R2 attacks. Once you get the pattern down, you'll have a better chance at finding the best way to poke at it. It's slow going, and once I got it half way, I used poison knives to finish the job. Not elegant but it did the job.

Just beat him after HOURS of trying, so I'd suggest

Spoiler

using a long range weapon like the hunters axe and attacking it's head, once you attack it's head enough, it'll fall over and after that you'll deal significantly more damage to its head, also when it goes down attack its head as much as possible. I also found dodging through the flames it sends at you after it swipes at you to be more effective than dodging away from them

Dunno if that'll help, but that boss was definitely by far the hardest one for me.

You need to stay really close to it and dodge behind after it starts a combo. Keeping distance especially when it gets mad is a bad idea.

To reiterate, I don't think Ive talked to her at all yet.

Currently at the descendant. Didn't have a super tough time with him, I know I can beat him. I've beat every boss solo, up until this point. I'm just not having a good time with these chalice dungeons. They are pretty tedious and I want to be done with them and get the platinum already. Not having played in a while isn't helping any. Just thought it would be easiest for people to join now since Im at the start of the dungeon. What level are you?

Welp that's the game. Not platinum or anything but I took down

Gherman and Moon Presence back to back.

Gherman was much tougher. Moon Presence's schtick was his 1hp AoE thing but I had enough vials left to take him down.

Wow, i just "beat" the game and I'm really fucking pissed off.

Spoiler

All I knew going into the the fight was that there was a good ending and a regular ending. I figured I'd get the option to move to NG+, so I could play around to my heart's content in my regular game. I didn't spoil myself.

So because I didn't consume the umbilical cords I had in my inventory I went IMMEDIATELY to a NG+ after beating Gherman??? I can't fight the Moon Princess, or go check out any place I missed without going through the whole fucking game again? That's absolutely Goddamn bullshit. So no instead of feeling accomplished and thrilled to have beat it, I'm just disappointed and angry. Fuck this shit. :-(

Is there any way to move the camera out, or is dealing with a spinning camera while trying to avoid a boss that's next to you just an endearing skill we must learn?
