I feel like the whole game is easy mode but I've heard new game plus and beyond is the real deal.
Honestly, even the NG+ and beyond isn't that bad if you've run all of the Chalice Dungeon stuff. The deep Chalice stuff is the real deal. After doing all of that, it makes the normal game feel easy. Unfortunately, Chalice Dungeons don't scale to NG+, but they're still far more challenging than anything in the normal game.
NG+ depend highly on your build, had no problem the first time, but when I started a pvp build, had a lot of trouble against NG+ VA because the character couldn't deal high enough damage to her while she heals to either stagger her or negate the healing. Had to use numbing mist every time she'd heal(which effect last way less against her in NG+) and ran out of it before killing her. Had to comeback with maximum numbing mist stock to defeat her.
Only the highest level randomized chalice dungeons are fun to go through and have worthy loot, too bad it's a steep grind before you have access to them. They really have to fix this, making a new PvP character never took this long in a previous Souls game.Chalice Dungeons are challenging, alright. Too bad they're too repetitive, boring and there are too much of them with useless loots.
Like, you open a giant golden coffin and you're like:
"Ohohoho what is thiiiis?"
"Ritual Blood (5) "
" : | "
I hate that.

I just bought the game the other day and turned it on, to which I had to spend however long doing an update, and when I got to the start up menu, it says I need PS+ for online play. I honestly didn't even start to play cause I was confused since you don't need PS+ for the other 3 games. So will I not be able to do PvP unless I buy PS+? If so, then... GRUMBLE GRUBMLE
Yeah, I'm not going to do any more PvP characters. Doing the Chalice grinding with two characters was enough for me.
If you are just trying to get through it, and don't care about exploring every corner of the area right at this moment, just follow the torches. They'll lead you in the right direction.
Riddle?
Nope. Just the straightforward implication.
She's too fat to move much. Aggroing her will have similar results. She respawns so you can just attack and see for yourself.

Root dungeons are optional, best used for loot, but even then you're better off looking online for glyph passwords that take you directly to the good loot.
oh my, the Chikage fully cursed gemmed.... shit's is crazy, man. I fear FROM will touch it.
Ignore roots until the Depth 5 ones.

I would love if we could skip the Pthumeru ones and just start with the Loran Chalice. But in order to do that, we would have to farm easy Ritual Blood (4) somewhere...
I just killed Paarl at about lv 50. You can get from the Gaol lamp to the boss in a few seconds so I didn't do the whole Unseen Village.
I'm in the middle of doing the Woods, had just unlocked the first big shortcut so went for a change in scenery.
If you have decent bolt resistance and a +6 weapon you can beat him even earlier. Make sure to use Beast Blood Pellets and deal rapid blows to his legs. If done correctly, he won't be able to do anything but run away lol.
Try to stay behind her. When it gets dark, run around and wait until this phase is over.
Unseen village is more about learning the match ups than levels, you could take on every encounter there comfortably the moment you get there long as you can kill those snatchers(kidnappers) with two v-attacks. Just go through the area 1v1, never try to fight more than one enemy at the same time. For Paarl, you need to be able to stagger it fast enough, otherwise it's gonna be a tough fight, this is also more dependent on your build/damage than level.
Her attacks are slow and well telegraphed, you can stay away, memorize the pattern and sneak in 1 or 2 attacks when you feel it's safe.
When it gets dark and she turn into two, look on one of them and keep side stepping everything. Don't try to attack when there are two.
You can also just keep attacking her at all time(except when it gets dark) and when she attack, dodge to the side where the attack is coming from. Her attacks are really slow,

The witch is considered an optional boss and you can do it at any point in the game after father g... so you should tell us all the bosses you killed so far.

Ok, I'm asking since I cannot find anyone in the Wiki reporting on this.
About Gherman:
Any thoughts?
About Gherman:
It says I'm supposed to find him in the Garden at Hunter's dream if he's not in the house, but ever since beating Vicar Amelia he has completely disappeared from the Hunter's Dream, and I haven't seen him again. I'm now at the Nightmare Frontier, and have yet to see him again.
Cannot find any reports of this happening to anyone, and I just want to make sure he shows up at the very end since I know he needs to be there for the finale.

Up against
. Any tips? I noticed my weapons do very little dmg to him or the
ROM
spiders
priestess who turns into giant hairy monster
The bloodthirsty demon thing in old yarnam
The witch

Those are the most recent ones.
Feels like I'm a lot further but I guess I'm still in the first 1/3 of the game.
Edit
I'm playing the Japanese version, hence why I don't know the English boss names.

Don't worry; he disappears from time to time in Hunter's Dream; from what I can tell it's pretty much random whether he appears in the garden sleeping or not. It will not affect the end game.
The spiders have some sort of stone armor on their head, so make sure to hit them from behind or from the side.
Kill the first batch of little spiders, then try and deal as much damage to Rom as you can before he teleports away. Bolt damage helps a lot.
Do you have the Tonitrus? A level 4 or 5 tonitrus, with electric buff active, one shots the
mini spiders
When
Rom rains down ice
I've heard some people say ignore
the little spiders
while they are still around him
I also think Rom is weak to fire or you can toss an oil urn on him and burn him down with firepaper or a FlameSprayer (I did the latter).

Ok, thanks for the tips.
How hard would this boss fight rate against the others?

It is easy once you get the "distance" down. That is, staying close enough so he doesn't use his range attack but far enough away to avoid the AOE from the ground. Then just pick off the minions and he can't do much.
Patience.
If not for the
falling ice projectiles
Rom and Vicar Amelia
I never got that range down and convinced there is no safe range. >=(
I'm sure there is...
or play the short ritual roulette.

Wear Arcane resistant clothings and rune, since most likely her attacks that will get you are her icicle shower or her AOE when you get close to her.
She's... I wouldn't call her easy, but she's... somewhere in between normal and hard, I guess.
Blood beast pellets works wonder with her, FYI, especially coupled with Bolt Paper or Tonitrus.
He is less likely to use his meteors if you're close to him but he can still do them. He shot meteors at me the other day while I was attacking him.

Does
also have armour on his head and is attacking from the side/behind recommended?
Rom
Yes
A charged attack with Bolt on it's sides does massive damage if you can land it.

Just ignore the spiders, run up to him, take out your flamesprayer and burn him to death without any chance for him to teleport away as long as you do constant damage.
