As you build up the beast meter by hitting foes, your attacks deal more damage. Strong attacks or attacks that hit multiple foes tend to raise the meter a lot.

It might not seem like much with how hard it is to build up the meter significantly, but it can be useful.

I see. Thanks. I'm already doing good damage so I don't really need it.

The area before the second lantern. There's an amygdala shooting lasers and a bunch of crazy women coming at you. In this area, you can drop down somewhere if you keep to the fence on your right.

Theres one lady chilling on the side of that laser area and there is a spot you can walk off. If you are running from the 2nd lamp area, its on the left side. Right side if you're coming from the 1st lamp

Thanks. I found it now. It's so obscure.

How important is it to explore the Chalice Dungeons? Are there any good rewards or is it purely for the challenge? Are there unique bosses inside?

Better gems and runes, unique bosses and enemies.

Just beat The First Hunter without parrying, I was probably making things harder for myself but getting the timing right was too frustrating.

Thanks. I was considering skipping it if there wasn't anything important because the PS4 I'm using isn't even my own.

 

[squidyj]

Finally getting around to doing chalice dungeons. what's so punishing about Defiled is it actually pushes you in two separate directions, you don't want to let yourself be low on health because you could just get rekt, while at the same time your vials do barely anything putting you in a possible state of resource starvation. You both want to conserve and spend at the same time.

You just need one insight. If you already have that you should be able to talk to the doll when you return to hunters dream.

For me, I've had to beat Cleric beast every restart, on NG+++ and with 80-99 insight at the start, I was nervous with my 460000 echoes the last time, to get that damn doll activated!

The first trip to the dream she isnt active. If you go twice, and have at least 1 insight, she is. No death or boss required.

Doll was lifeless for me, 80 insight in the bag. I think you have to gain 1 insight in the new game (bossfigt, madmans knowledge).

Thank you guys.

I would never go back until I beat Cleric Beast, so I just don't know, but I remember the very first playthrough, madmans knowledge would not unlock the doll, only cleric beast beaten did.

I fought the cleric beast two times and never tried the madmans knowlegde. But i found this in a guide

The bad news is, you cannot level up your character until you’ve made your way either to a boss arena or found a Madman’s Knowledge item.

The reason for this is that the Doll in Hunter’s Dream, who allows you to level up, will not appear to be alive until you have one point of Insight.

May be wrong, I dont know.

Yes, talked to her. But I did not talk to Gehrmann.

Go the dream, go back to yahrnem, go back to dream again and she will wake. no need to gain or consume insight

I don't know what else you expected.

 

[myco666]

Imo it's useless because pvp in Bloodborne is pretty much non-existent. Magic was always a good pvp strategy/ build in the souls games. There is no reason to level blood or arcane in BB. It's useless.....the game isn't balanced imo. Compared to the souls games at least.

Umm have you even tried Bloodtinge build? I am using one now and Evelyn + Chikage is really good in PVP and especially in PVE. I bet even Arcane is good if you bump it up to 50. Just because something doesn't fit your build doesn't mean that they are useless.

 

[Ikon]

Wooooo! Finally beat the Defiled Chalice! I had a ton of trouble with the dog but the final boss was a cake walk in comparison, just like the first encounter against it. Going to upload both fights soon'ish. I doubt this game will be able to provide any more adrenaline rushes like this.

After beating the queen, are there any unique bosses left? Haven't entered Hinter or Isz yet.

I've only encountered one of those guys so far, but I died to him 3-4 times before finally exploiting a pillar to stop his roll attack. It's been a long time since I've had any problems with a "regular" enemy, but that guy was absolutely wrecking me. The implication that there are more awaiting me is not welcome news.

Awesome job.
Hardest boss in the game for me in that you can't Visceral him or flank him and your window to damage him is so short and almost always requires taking damage in return which if you only have 20 HVs means risking a second attack to get your health.

Once you finally do it though it's so satisfying.

So it isn't worth it at all unless you manage to not use anything during the fight and even then it is barely worth it. Good to know.
