Well just beat
. Finally. Holy shit, what a game. Never played a Souls game before and this game wasn't on my radar. Didn't intend on buying but I got caught up in the hype and decided to give it a whirl. Boy, I'm glad I did. This became my favorite game of the gen so far and it'll likely be my GOTY or at least the runner up. There were many times I wanted to give up, but I kept pushing through. Didn't want to let the game beat me. Will definitely try to finish up the Chalice dungeons and do some online. I'll probably give DSII a try.

I am in the same boat and I just beat defliled

My tips.
Be slow and steady for the first half. Stay far away and when she attacks and misses and lowers her head for a few seconds run in and get in one or two attacks on the head then run the fuck away. Repeat until phase 2. Maybe try get in a few checky hits on her legs as well if you cant reach her head but ONLY ATTACK WHEN SHE IS IMMOBILE after missing a attack.
For the later part of the fight when she rips her arms off I pretty much cheeses it. Once you are behind her you can get in a attack on her legs and she will always jump forward with her back to you. Simply run back up to her and hit the back of her leg again. Then she will jump again. Repeat until she is dead.
The 2nd half is way easy if you do that. Just have to know when to attack and when to stay away.

Have fun! Learn to parry with your firearm and then follow up with a visceral attack (R1 when the enemy is staggered) for massive damage.
Either other choice for your ending would have resulted in what you were looking for.
1 or 2 more boss fights and a pretty fun weapon for NG+
Imma have to give this a shot, because I've been suffering soooo hard lol
no, sometimes she move around.

I was stuck on her for four days till someone mentioned the jump chees tactic. I made it work on my second try.

I absolutely agree on the spoilers. Thankfully I finished the game yesterday.

So I just heard of the Cannon nerf, and I was halfway through upgrading it in NG+. Is it still a viable weapon at +9 or so in NG+? Its just the bullet requirements that are nerfed right, not the damage?
For anyone wondering why the Doll prays at that particular grave,
its counterpart in the Old Workshop is where you find the Old Hunter's Bone, aka where Gehrman's first student was buried.

That is a fantastic title.
I finally received the guide yesterday. Haven't looked in depth at it, having only skimmed the bestiary (some of those names were a bit disappointing) and reading the Miyazaki interview. Looks good though from the bits I've seen. Only major issue I have so far is that Section 1 wasn't glued in properly and that the pages will likely end up beginning to fall out in due time.
This weekend will be devoted to pushing through the dungeons and then the final battle. Not sure if I'll spend much time on NG+/multiplayer afterwards. More than likely I'll take a bit of a break to knock out a few more titles.

Blood Shards are incredibly common. Feel free to use them whenever you like.
Twin Blood Shards become incredibly common after being a bit rare for a while.
Blood Chunks are a colossal pain in the ass to farm and you should use them carefully.

Damage is unchanged, just the bullet requirement (from 10 to 12 for one shot).
Thanks, it's just blood shards for me at the moment, will use away then.
My weapon broke for the first time yesterday, while I was fighting T

. I didn't noticed at first though, I just thought that the boss was super tanky

Seriously? That is quite the oversight. Hopefully that in itself gets patched.
It was the same in Dark Souls 1 and 2. and that's what most ppl asked for knowing how it was in the souls games.
I need them bastards of Loran and the only thing standing in my way is BSB
Beat him without using a vial. after about 5 tries..
will upload later. He usually just one hits me with that grab out of nowhere. but he quite easy to read.
That's awesome and terrifying. Hope I pull it off some day, and hope even more it never happens to me.

I could've sworn that in Dark Souls particularly spoilery items didn't show up until you found them or you went into NG+.

Thats pretty low lvl but its definitely doable.
His first phase is the hardest, when you get close he casts a skull spell that im sure you've seen. Always dodge to the left after getting a couple of hits in and you will never get hit by it. This boss is all about parrying his attacks. When he reaches about half hp he will start to charge up, you need to backstab him to interupt it otherwise he will deflect all your parry attempts
Sorry for double post=/

Seems like this could be my first "accidental" platinum ever (I'm not much of a trophy/achievement collecting guy).
I just saw the trophy list, all I'm missing is:
I think I'll go for it then! Should be fun.

Are
the only NPC summons in the game?
Such a departure from previous games. Not that I really need NPC summons for help, but those were used to good effect for NPC story progression in Souls games.

So I made a Bloodtinge build and I was worried about killing L
without decent stats. I've killed him twice before but I did so unknowingly with the memory and just thought he was really simple (I kept baiting out the horizontal slash with his staff and I'd parry). Took me three tries to beat him for real with a +6 Rifle Spear and a +4 Evelyn, Str/Skill were at the minimums for Chikage.
That being said, I fucking love the Chikage. It has totally been worth the wait. Killed R
first try without any real issue (White Church gear helped a fair bit) and I got ~2k hit to the O
R
weak spot when it was staggered with the transformed charge attack.
It has been fun, I'll likely end up trying the Chalice dungeons with this character.

Man, Blade of Mercy really is the most fun weapon in the game. It has such a rewarding playstyle unlike more conventionally powerful weapons like LHB. I started a new run just for the joy of playing with BoM all game.
You want to learn his moves and dodge into him and not away from him a lot of the time or you won't get a chance to hit him. when you do hit him hit him once or twice and move out, he can pop off that one move right quick. If you can force him into a corner he's more likely to use his melee abilities which is a good time to parry. once he starts using his sword you just want to dodge around and hit him a bit, the only thing that's tough to dodge is when he goes like way up above you and you can't see him. I can never time that shit.

Getting back into this game after the patch and several long breaks.
Looks like the
has been screwed for me. This is probably because I was in coop when I approached her
and she refused to talk to me. When I reloaded and went back to her, she was gone. Never appeared in the Cathedral Ward either, after opening up both gates.
Shame this bug was never addressed (or maybe it was and I'm too far-gone to fix it).

I'll make one and PM Robot pants in a few hours
I haven't done chalice version, is it a different moveset? I know on the story one if you keep circling him you can usually read the grab by him pausing and not doing anything for a second.

Question --
I'm somewhere between level 117 and 120, can't totally remember. Is this too high for PVP? And is there a PVP community? Or ng+/chalice helper?
Basically, where should i be ringing my bells?
---------------
Finally took down the last Chalice's 2nd boss. Hardest boss in the game for me, by a long shot. At least double the deaths of the next contender. Maybe triple.
3rd boss went down on 2nd or 3rd try. Platinum boss (final main story boss) went down like it was made of butter.
Platinum is mine. Holy hell, Defiled and Boss 1+2 of the final chalice put me through my paces - far harder than anything in the game.
Thank you all for your tips for the
. It's what got me through. Took forever for my ability to dodge it to kick in, but it finally did.
Stay at medium range and constantly circle right. Everything it does misses you by a large margin, and you'll quickly learn when you can hit it. It turns the fight into something quite easy.
