The location and design of Rom is really good.

ya rom is okay, pretty boring actually though, his AOE is what will get you most of the time when you are in close... but I don't find the boss great in variety or art....its a giant spider which I usually like but nothing super special.
some of the big beast bosses are pretty cool looking... tough to pick one.
^ edit - i do agree that location is cool though for sure... just thought he should do more, webs or something...
We don't know the reason why Rom is his favorite. I read an interview where he said he makes bosses with real people in mind. Could be this or a number of other reasons why Rom is his favorite.
This is the case with a lot of the bosses if you think about it. Most minding their own business and then some lunatic comes in swinging away.

I think the location is great, but Rom it/her..whatever self is pretty droll. Just a big larva shaped thing that wiggles.
Rom..
Yea, I saw that. But, I have a feeling no matter how many interviews we read from him, we will never know all.

Yep. Rom is Vacuous, so this made perfect sense. Thats why Rom probably can't do that much either. But it was still a difficult fight to many.

I feel like Rom is a great example of Miyazaki's philosophy of maintaining an air of elegance even to grotesque monsters. Which is likely part of why he likes her (and also why I do as well).

I wonder what his favourite fight would be from a mechanical standpoint. If I had to guess I'd say
. Seems like the most involved fight although kind of easy

Yeah, it's the fight that makes the full transition from
the Gothic horror story to the Lovecraftian horror story

Well my favourite has to be M.L. It was tense and the setting was perfect.

So...stupid question: Did anyone figure out who the blind guy in the intro actually is?
I guess. Can't really argue artistic merit but I'm not a fan.
Nope. He's only credited as "Blood Minister" in the credits.

He isn't significant at all. Just some guy who gives you the blood transfusion.
Laurentius

Yeah, I hate it when someone invades you, and will retreat to an area filled with enemies every time they get hurt, and constantly try and get you to aggro an enemy. Apparently they don't have much confidence in their abilities.
I'd say that makes him pretty important. The dude brought you to the Hunter's Dream.
But who he is beyond the blood transfusion is a complete mystery.

How do I get ihyll chalice? Do I have to do lower loren?
The Defiled Chalice gives you the Ihyll Chalice when you finish it.

That's disappointing.
I was thinking he might kinda be part of a group directly opposing the sects who want to be "granted eyes" or something since he and a few others look like they removed theirs.Edit: Also just noticed this is the wrong thread. xD Sorry, I meant to post this in the Lore thread, shouldn't have both open at the same time I guess.

I dunno... I just think the math doesn't quite add up.
7% of 10,000 damage, for example, is just 700. That's one blood vial's worth of healing for my character's HP.
What's the strongest attack in the game? Maybe 1,500 damage or so? Still only saving you 105 damage.
It just doesn't seem like 7% physical reduction would do that much for you in the grand scheme of things.
For me, I'm using 10% health increase (need to get a better version), 15% stamina increase, and 30% souls gain from enemies.

I can only make fetid and rotted, is there a prerequisite for making defiled?

It's just Yharnam Blood, the guy behind it is Gherman and or the
Moon Presence
I'm having such a hard time finding a weapon I like. I've spent quite a bit of time with Saw Cleaver, Hunter Axe, Threaded Cane and Ludwig's. All I'm worried about is being able to take down A
B
and the Defiled bosses without too much problem. A
B
is what made me reroll, I had just spread my points out too much yet focused on skill, which mostly wasn't my thing, based on the weapons.
My character right now has 40vit/end, 20str and basically nothing else so I feel like I can build in any direction except skill.

I really wish that starting with NG+ you could store 600 bloodvials like you can with some other items, I have a character in NG+4 or +5 right now and I'm essentially never short on bloodechoes to get bloodvials, so instead of farming I of course just buy them, which I have to do way too often imo.
Unless you're good enough to just never die or never even get hit at this point in the game (which I'm not, lol), you're probably going to use a lot more bloodvials than in an initial playthrough since you essentially have to use one after every hit you take, so if I could just buy a couple hundred at once my life would be way easier.

But they also drop vials and bullets like candy...
I admit I went and bought some when I ran low at the Abhorrent Beast and the Defiled Watchdog, but that's about it. Entered boss room, picked up my bloodstain, reloaded to get outside of the fog (or use hunter's mark but the animation is slow), went to the Dream and spent them on vials, bam done.
NG+ and later give you such a ridiculous number of echoes, it's absolutely trivial to spend some on vials every now and then. And adding the drops I'd often be maxed out without even trying.I really wish that starting with NG+ you could store 600 bloodvials like you can with some other items, I have a character in NG+4 or +5 right now and I'm essentially never short on bloodechoes to get bloodvials, so instead of farming I of course just buy them, which I have to do way too often imo.

So yeah, I really don't get it. I'm not even that good at the game, I often win bosses by attritio0n and pop vials liberally. What are you people doing xD
Isn't that function of the overall game design? I've noticed an almost 40% increase in damage when I hit enemies doing a backdash. That rule probably applies to the player as well. I noticed this behavior in the previous Souls games as well.

Speaking of chalice dungeons, what is your guys VIT for some of the deeper areas? Everything in depth 3 or lower hits like a freaking mack truck.

Any tips for Watchdog in Defiled Chalice? took more than 20 tries and still nothing.

Holy shit getting the materials for chalices is harder than chalice dungeons themselves.
I want 9 Ritual Blood (4) and 4 Coldblood Flowerbuds but there are nowhere to be found.

You can buy the Flowerbud from the insight messengers in Hunters Dream, after killing A

I did everything with 36 VIT.
On him right now and best I can say is dodge very well and don't get greedy. I've come so close but then he goes aggro and I can't seem to avoid him. Probably just fear in me when he does that. Need to remain focused throughout. You'll do it, as will I.

Use weapon with long reach, preferably the whip cane, does decent amount of damage and using the whip form really saves you time not having to close the distance as the boss has really fast attack patterns in my opinion.

So Uhh confirm that Rom is best bloodborne waifu?
Thanks. I think I'm gonna end up using the item duplication glitch since I never updated my game. Farming these items is such a chore :/ I don't understand why this mechanic is in the game anyway. it doesn't make any sense.
The craziest room in the Chalice dungeons is that large open room with:
All in one room. Fucking hell.
- 8 of those giant bug things with arcane haze flower heads
- 1 keeper bitch
- 2 keeper hunter red-eyed dogs
- Labyrinth Warrior w/giant sword
- bell maiden with her spawn
- kidnapper

Awwwwwwww yis first shortcut in Forbidden Woods unlocked was carrying 60k echoes by the time I got there so that was tense as fuck.
Bought those twin blades with the echoes but not really tried them, killed the executioner in CY, seems they're a lot better when you're behind the enemy?
Also had a go at Paarl. That did not go well.
