Bloodborne |OT++++| Now with Trusty Patches

Yep, doesn't work. When I step on it it doesn't do anything, and like I said, has only worked for me once.

Have you applied the most recent patch? It should fix elevator bugs. You can go to the top/bottom of Yahar'gul and pull the lever on the other side of the elevator. to try and fix it.

I carry the torch almost full time in the chalices. Love that atmosphere.
Oh, pulling it up top got it to work. That is strange, is that how that's supposed to work? I thought it was a shortcut once you reached the bottom, but it never works for me when I step on it down there.
Those spiders are brutal. They will home in on you from damn near anywhere until you get the Bell Maiden.
The best way to go about it is to sprint to the bell maiden and finish her/them. It may take a few attempts, but it's much less of a pain in the ass than fighting the spiders.
Oh, did Trusty Patches amend that? Nice. It felt like something the US English editor got back from Frognation UK and overzealously "fixed." They are without question "Third Umbilical Cords." But what that means, only Miyazaki knows...
Great story man. Its one all of us know too well
Thanks! I have a better understanding now of why the Souls community seems so close. It´s not about bragging or feeling "hardcore", it´s just that shared experience of enjoying a game so carefully designed to be on the edge between hard and fair.
I really want to finish it and say "I did it!" (also, I need something a bit happier/relaxing haha)
I guess the answer to this will include spoilers but fuck it, I'm in Forbidden Woods but I keep seeing references to optional areas, could someone tell me what the optional areas I'd be able to handle at this stage of the game are? I've done Charnel Lane anyway which I think is optional.

Ringing my Small Resonant Bell at Martyr Logarius, if anybody needs some help with him right now. I'm level 52.
Ehm yeah I'm running around a little headless. I've killed
Witch of Hemwick
Vicar Amelia
Edit: I found the way now. Had to go further in the Forbidden Forest
Game is freaking awesome. It definitely clicked for me now. Had some trouble at the start and many rage quits but when you reach a specific point it all makes sense haha

I just realised I never activated the shortcut at the bottom of the Healing Church because I got snatched.
How the hell did I get to the Great Cathedral.

You can go back down through the healing church and avoid the snatcher or you can buy an item from the echoes shop that will open a gate in Cathedral District.

The third layer of Defiled Chalice is incredibly hard.
Just go back to the dream and them come back to the village, that should fix the elevator.
Beat first three Phtumerian Chalices to get Defiled Chalice then you need to get Bastard of Loran from Ailing Loran Chalice dungeon third layer IIRC.
You can only up the poison resistance but never be immune to it as far as I know. Stock up with antidotes and sedatives or do suicide runs to get the items. You only have to deal with frenzy in order to progress to boss area since you can mostly skip the poison.
Poison isn't so much a concern after you're done exploring and no longer need to wade through the area to constantly. You can pop an antidote after you reach safe ground or just walk it off.
Frenzy on the other hand can be devastating. You can either take a sedative or chug vials like an addict.
There are runes you can equip, the 200 Frenzy Resist from the
Forbidden Woods, 2 giant snake bundles guarding it,
I just vial, kill, vial to deal with frenzy.
Just equip the White or the Black Church attire and a poison res rune and you will be OK, just make sure you have some antidotes with you.
If I have a complaint about the game is the unnecessary farming that makes things that should be simple like Chalice Dungeons or upgrading weapons to +9 (ok don't let us buy them From but freakin' chunks should've been much easier to farm) such a pain in the ass.
So, I heard you can't do certain things after you beat
.
My only other options at this point (I think) are...
-Beating
-Messing around in
Do I need to get any of those things done before I beat
? I'm assuming it's mainly the sidequests that get locked off after that point.

You don't need to do those now, it's the sidequests you need to be worried about (or not, if you plan on doing a second playthrough you can just miss stuff the first time around and complete everything second time around).
Chikage is really good IMO. BoM seems to be better if you have high endurance since you can stunlock with the transformed version and deal really good damage. Haven't tried Burial Blade at all so can't really comment on that.

NG + has been interesting. I was able to 1 shot the first few bosses, which was a huge improvement from my first run, but damn, some enemies are so much stronger! Just beat
. Here I come
!
Shadows of Yarnam

Cleric Beast got a huge buff in HP, but the Father was killed pretty quickly. I'm looking forward to the other bosses.
Alright, good to know. Thank you.

Both the shortcut gate and front door are locked?

Well no, that's what's weird. Cathedral Ward is completely open and I'm pretty sure I didn't open the Healing Church shortcut. I am certain I didn't buy the Hunter Chief Emblem.
Maybe I'm just a forgetful idiot.

Yoshino tweeted this out today. Not sure if it had been posted yet. I love when PvP duels are executed with honor.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.

Level 89 on my skill build. Rolling with blades of mercy and pimp cane.
Vit 40
End 25
Str 9
Skl 50
Bt 7
Arc 8
At the last boss. To go with 50 Vit... or 15 Arc to use some of the magic gadgets. The last point I'm putting in Str to try out the burial blade.
Advice? (I'm capping on SL 100).

Those homing skulls...tempting to get 5 more arcane for them. That seems pretty nice.
This is a great video on the use of Shaman Blades:

So that's what those are for. The description on them was so vague I was too afraid to try them out.

Incoming wall of spoiler.
Took me two more attempts until I avenged them.
So awesome.
So I found this creepy guy in forbidden woods and sent him to Oedon Chapel.
Shortly after I sent him there I noticed that people I had sent previously were getting killed, and eventually the npc you first meet there was killed.
Just on a hunch that he was the cause I decided to whack him. He turns into this beast monstrosity and obliterated me.

I've finally reached the point where Chalice Dungeons are getting tough. I just met
. They're pretty much wrecking me in phase 2.
Rom-kun and his friends
He specifically says in terms of story. He sidesteps which is his favorite to fight.
