I don't think most people realize that there's a health penalty for summoned players. I had no idea until I got one shot by an attack that never killed me when I fought the boss.

It's not really creepy but I couldn't help but find a similarity to my crowfeather garb when I fought the Wet Nurse again today. At least in the intro cutscene. Even the Necklace kinda looks similar.
When everything goes dark and all you can really see are the flailing blades, that was one of my favorite parts of the game. It was so reminiscent of a true nightmare. Just amazing design. Too bad the real one mainly just walks into the wall haha.

It's a bit bitter, yeah. You'll notice it's not as painful the second time through though.
Welp, I just had a moment of frustration.

Endgame spoilers:
So I'm fighting Moon Presense... its the first time I've fought it, eeven though I've been to this point several times I haven't decided to move in to NG+ yet. So I'm fighting it with my Chikage and doing great damage. Then it pulls off that red AoE and it keeps killing me from full health. I try dodging it, I'm sure I'm getting the timing right but I'm dying. I try hiding behind the crosses or whatever they are, no go. I die like 8 times to this same attack and finally think fuck it, I need to see what I'm missing. Turns out it drops you down to 1hp and I've got my Chikage transformed. I would've died 39239 times had I not looked it up... either that or it I would have had to get lucky and weirdly enough not having it transformed. And as so as soon as I know to untransform my weapon as soon as it grabs its dumb face, I kill it immediately.
Any other weapon and I don't have this problem! I was getting pretty frustrated but then had a laugh once I found that out.

That eye move puts you to 1 health life. You are suppose to run up and attack the boss to get your life back. With the Chikage in 2H mode, you will die every time since you have 1 life and the sword's health draining effect will kill you right afterward. For this boss, I just use another weapon

Well done!
Okay, I am really struggling against the Watchdog in Defiled Chalice. I'm LVL 114 with these stats:
VIT - 52
END - 38
STR - 27
SKL - 25
BT - 9
ARC - 13
I have the Saw Cleaver at +10 and the following weapons at +8: Hunter Axe, Ludwigs and Tonitrus.
What weapon works best and should I lvl up a certain stat to help with this boss fight?

And they also look like eyeballs... very disturbing considering you loot pebbles from crows who were feasting on corpses...

Does anyone know how many points in arcane you need to equip a fire gem, I have 15 at the moment and wanted to try it in my axe but it won't let me,unless of course I'm doing something totally wrong?

That's awesome. Patches being trusty and making friends wherever he goes.
Check the shape of the gem. They have to fit with the ones on your weapons. The gems don't have requirements as far as I know.

Almost killed shadow of yharnam on my first try ;_; my mistake wss i lost aggressivenes once those snakes start popping out of nowhere. I think ill be fine in my 2nd try though.
tbh honest the HP penalty is kinda annoying. Bosses basically two shot you at most.

Didn't Hidetaka Miyazaki release a wallpaper or something? I thought I saved a reddit post from before I started playing the game, but for the life of me I can't find it again.
I don't think you finished reading my post. I looked it up and it wasn't an issue if I just untransformed the Chikage when it grabbed its face to cast it.

I was secretly hoping the first OT was gonna be Bloodborne OT: Quite Thrilling...
I think yes. The game cares only about lvl difference. I also already helped ppl beat a boss and they had a weapon you only get when you beat the game. I was in my first playthrough,

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I was summoned to NG+ a few times going through the cathedral ward.. Enemies had much more health than in my world.

What is the issue? Do you know the signs of his moves? Bait his head swipe, dodge towards whatever side he is attacking from and hit 1-2 times and 2 backstep to be out of range of his attacks. Axe 2-handed mode might be more useful since you can hit his head, breaking his "armor" which causes him to be stagger, allowing a few hits. Also the head will take more dmg as well now.

The detail in this game is so fantastic. Nothing more badass than swinging your blade and missing the target but you see the force of the blade cut the air and blow the clothes of the enemy

Replaying the game can actually be really fun. I think I'm having more fun with my second character than I did on my first playthrough.
I have probably help people kill it 30X, and even though I am on a Chikage / bloodtinge build, I still switch to another weapon against it. Don't know if there's a delay in registering the switching from 2H drain to 1H stop, but it does randomly kill me after the eye attack. I haven't notice that issue with my secondary weapon, Burial Blade.
You can get every weapon in NG. Now, if they are using the weapon on beggining bosses, yes, most likely they are in NG+.
Nah, no delay. The tell on the AoE is super obvious so yeah, if you transform it before it goes off you're fine.
Thanks bud. There's nothing at all like the tension of a boss in a Souls game.

Agree with you. it kinda sucks that, personally for myself, combat and boss battles are so good, it's hard for me to play other action RPG games.
I am not talking about the Eye attack. Instead, the on / off drain affect of the Chikage. Just use another weapon or deal with randomly dying due to the Chikage drain affect.

Defiled Amygdala down! Played it pretty safe and almost went over the 15 min recording limit lol.

I didn't expect to finish the game (NG) today.. but I sure did!
The Gerhman fight was amazing. Much to my surprise he went down on the first attempt, but he very nearly killed me a few times. Probably my favourite fight (that I've tried) thanks to the music and the scenery.
And then some creepy thing appeared and wrecked my shit. Had to summon an ally for that one. It was simply too fast for me to handle, and I found its movements generally difficult to read.
Amazing game, and I haven't even touched chalice dungeons yet.. so I guess that's next on my calendar. Can anyone tell me if dungeons are affected by NG+ mode?

Sure, but how many people will have gotten that far and still have bosses left to kill?

I meant the fact that you can attack him through walls too.
Sort of a longshot, but i'll try asking anyway, anyone has a gif of a player with the Tonitrus, going "let's do this", charging it up, and immediately getting wrecked by a chalice dungeon boss, with lightning all over?
Saw it soon after the game was out, but i can't find it.

There are still plenty of optional bosses if they haven't done them. And, I said it was possible to get all the weapons on NG. Which is true. If you help people on the require bosses and they had the Burial Blade, then yes, they are in NG+.

oh... i didn't tought of cheesing through him like that since i was referring to his blade throw attack. i feel kinda dirty beating him like that since a couple of time i died with only 1/10 of life remaining fightning him legit...whatever, thanks
