If you manage to find someone that is trying to kill MP you get more than 100k for one of the easiest bosses though.
100k ? Isn't it only 60k since it is half of what the host gets? Or am I remembering something wrong.

Finished off the Defiled Chalice Dungeon last night. That was some good stuff! I've been cruising without much trouble lately so it was fun to see the difficulty ramp back up a bit. Watchdog is easily one of the best boss fights in the game, such a blast.
So is the worst behind me on my quest for the platinum?

Yes but what follows is not exactly a cakewalk. Shouldn't be too bad tho.
Yes, the defiled chalice is the hardest part of the game (unless you decide to do depth 5 cursed/rotted/fettid, which isn't necessary for the plat).
Haha, are they just Chalice enemies? Can't remember seeing them in the story, I was like WTF, relentless!

Sounds good, thanks dudes.
What's a good root dungeon to do for gem hunting?
All 3 offerings on any depth 5 chalice will give you the best gems, pthumaru will give you radial gems, Loran will give you waning, & Isz will give you triangular.
The first hunter is 60k, but MP is 115k (the host gets 230k). So getting an host that's already on MP is pretty sweet

Probably. Most souls games add about 5% to enemy hp and damage each cycle after NG+, so its fairly gradual but goes pretty deep capping out around ~8 cycles or so.
Depends if you want to rock LHB later on.
Well that is decent amount of echoes. I guess I need to try to get summoned into MP lol.
Depends entirely what weapon you are using. IMO you should only put points in vit and end until you find a weapon that needs higher stats to equip or the scaling is good for certain stats.
LHB? Im rocking the hunter axe and saw spear (95% of the time hunter axe). Should I not worry about it for now?
If you like the axe then don't bother with skill, it has poor skill scaling.
I rock the axe cause its my best weapon. Though I dont mind trying out all the weapons and stuff I get. Im new to Dark Souls/Bloodborne so its all about messing around and having fun than min maxing (mainly cause Im terrible).
In that case, putting points in skill isn't a bad idea, just not now, do it when you find a weapon you like with high skill requirements, just make sure not to go over the softcap for strength just yet.
If you have a good gun and some points in Bloodtinge, try that with Bone Marrow Ash in the second half of the fight. She's kind of a joke then.
Don't go over 25 in strength for now, you get diminishing returns after level 25, if you want to do a quality build that's good for every weapon, only go over 25 after hitting 25 with skill, you'll get far better gains that way, leveling up later can get very expensive.
The wolves in the Upper Cathedral Ward seem to be the best spot although they're still pretty rare there.

In NG+ and NG++ I took them down first try by killing them in the order they distance themselves from you. (Aggressive melee guy, fire/melee guy, spell guy)
I've read it's best to take them down to one third of health each and then finish them off quickly.
yeah found this info:
http://bloodborne.wiki.fextralife.com/Blood+Stone+Chunk
Very rare drop from gargoyle enemies in Cainhurst Castle. (Gargoyles can appear in later chalice dungeons also)
Very rare drop from hellhound dogs (come in pairs along with the sword-wielding flame witch) in chalice dungeons.
Rare drop from the zombie werewolves in Yahar'gul, Unseen Village.
Rare drop from the Giant in the Lecture Building.
Rare drop from the blue eyed werewolves in the Upper Cathedral Ward.
i did try giant once and many times upper cathedral ward....will try yahargul hehe.
one more question please.
for AXE what to upgrade more, STRENGTH or SKILL?
can anyone write which weapon scalles with with upgrade best?

Uggghhhh, I'm in Great Pthumeru Ihyll Chalice.
I use Threaded Cane +10, I'm lvl 121, got 50 VIT, 50 Skill...
Is there a way to summon anyone here to help? Haven't had any luck summoning anyone in the CD before. :/
P.S. on a completely unrelated note: got my first PS4 YouTube upload! \o/ Martyr Logarius Boss Fight. Enjoy!
Headless Bloodletting Beast is SOOO FRUSTRATING!!! I feel like I'm battling the camera, not the boss. I had no issues wiping his ass in the other dungeon, but I can't get him here. Manage to get him to 20%, but that's about it. >(

Got the platinum last night...some Pthumeru Ihyll and Great Isz thoughts.
Ebrietas seemed way easier than the normal fight, easier to dodge the lasers and bait out the headbutts in the smaller arena.
Headless Bloodletting Beast's AI seems kinda bad. For the most part he would just freeze in place once I got under him and let me 2HR2 him with the Axe for a minute or so before doing his stomp.
Yharnam was unexpected and fun - I was thinking she'd be the same size as her normal game model and it would be a Nashandra-esque fight. They probably could have amped up the difficulty by taking the statue out of the middle of the room since it blocks most of the blood spits when she summons her clones.
Wasn't too difficult to take down once I stopped being an idiot and getting caught in her baby magic and she didn't spam her Gravelord Sword Dance equivalent.

PVP and Co-op only allows you to connect to other players that are 10 levels + 10% away from you, I think.
Well, that went well with
Also, where is the best place to farm
Shadow of Yharnam
Lured two behind the tombstone and after some jumping around they got stuck behind smaller tombstones and they couldn't get out. So I chopped them to pieces and then had some fun with the third one. Bolt paper does wonders to them

Bloodstone chunks?
Make sure you're wearing the two eye runes, they increase the drop rate substantially.
As for the weapons, from my memory:
Strength: Axe, Kirkhammer, Logarius Wheel, Tonitrus.
Skill: Cane, Blade of Mercy, Rifle Spear, Reiterpallash, Burial Blade
Quality: Ludwig Blade, Saw Cleaver/Saw Spear, Beast Claw, Stake Driver.
Bloodtinge: Chikage.
Arcane: Ludwig Blade, Tonitrus, Logarius Wheel.
EDIT: I think the Cane has good Arcane scaling too, though I'm not sure.
Beat the
last night, and completed all the optional areas, so I guess it's time to finish up. I'm disappointed with how easy the
fight was, it seems like it's fairly easy to tank the fight as getting hit once didn't do a threatening amount of damage. Maybe it's more difficult if you get caught by a whole combo. Such an incredible game though, I don't want it to end.

How hard is Eileen's quest? I've spoken to her once already, since I want to get her weapon. Is fighting
with her difficult?

Oh man, after taking a week or two off (MKX + work) I've come back to this game and it's got me. I'm no good at the Souls game, I never have time to properly get into them and I tend to get disheartened when I lose a lot of souls, but I'm hooked now. I was stuck on
for ages but I've gone on a comparative tear since then.

I also beat the
but I must admit I summoned a randomer to help me on that because I can't stand boss fights where it's me against multiple bosses. That whole area with the snakes and dudes with exploding heads freaked me the fuck out.

I finally finished it. I was having real problems beating

Two tries, then whacked him.
Freakin one-shot!
After a boost of confidence i went back to

As with Demons Souls, Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2, for me, playing them is a bag of mixed emotions. They go from "why am i bothering with this difficult shit..argh" to "this is so awesome!"
I guess only the greatest of games does that to you. And Bloodborne sure as shit is.

How to approach
Gherman
Moon
The difficult bit is (imo) keeping
her alive through the fight. You need to give her a hand without hitting her, but the two of them are so damn fast it can be tricky.
After playing about at least an hour every day since release I finally got to the end credits!
I'm piddling a bit with NG+ and I still intend to go through most of the chalice dungeon stuff. Maybe I'll go for my first souls plat!
Overall amazing game. I do wish the multiplayer was a little better. I liked how DS2 had so many different avenues for multi. I would like to mess with duels but I don't know of an easy way now that I'm in a NG+
Now on to the lore!
Gherman was really easy for me at lvl 80 - I had heard that he was susceptible to parries and that made him a pushover.
I missed the final boss due to letting the blind guy from Lost Woods into Central Ward. Damn me for feeling sorry for a humble beggar type. I was hoping to kill him before he wasted everyone but I failed a couple of times and each time another NPC died. That in addition to me wiping out Iosefca's clinic before the pale moon means only two umbilical cords for me.
Ebrietas was the hardest boss for me. Took me quite a few tries and was so glad I was able to take her out.

Charged up Axe attack is the way to go. Easily one shot just charging that thing and luring him around pillars.
