raging about new game +, when the game hasnt been out a week, yeah...

 

[VisceralBowl]

I think I broke the elevator shortcut in the forest. Anybody know how to fix it? Both levers say inoperable and stepping on it does nothing.

It really sucks that I can't use the damn thing.

 

[Hidden One]

I thought she was an enemy and attacked her at first. I think i'm screwed as a result. She just attacks me on sight now.

That just happened to me. I accidentally killed

Spoiler

Alfred

because I thought he was an enemy and then he only attacked me on sight. I had no choice but to put him to rest. Good thing I can still join her tho .

 

[Randam]

I was so sad when I found out it was gone in Dark Souls lol. Became a Zweihander bro

But it was.

Didn't maneater mildred drop it down in blighttown?

 

[njean777]

Why do my blood echoes disappear sometimes? I went back to the enemy that killed me and I never recovered them. They are not in the ground either...

 

[JumpJeff84]

yep i beat the whole game 2h basically no bullets withit , op.

Yeah I haven't really been using the guns much at all!

 

[GavinGT]

So honestly, the world structure is closer to Dark Souls 2 than Dark Souls 1 right?

It's somewhere in-between DS1 and DS2.

 

[Aztechnology]

I find the chalice dungeons only good for getting consumables, gems, and runes. I get very little echoes by clearing out a dungeon level...maybe about 5k or so. I don't know if its because I haven't unlocked the better chalices or not.(I only have 4)

Probably depth 3 or above ones give tons of echoes.

 

[Fhtagn]

Spoiler

Micolash

on NG+ is making me rage. I have FULL health and he one shots me. My health is maxed at 50 as wel. Fucking bullshit.

I get two the second part where you're locked in the last section with him and he shoots off these beams and you can even dodge out of the way. Terrible.

Have you tried

Spoiler

stacking Arcane Lake runes and wearing the student set (or better arcane defense armor) and rolling towards him when he shoots?

 

[Ethelwulf]

well, i got the shortcut around the wolves..then the boss killed me in seconds. fun

If you are really struggling... You could watch some playthroughs at the points where you are stucked. That can help you a lot. Something like: "how to kill the cleric beast" in YouTube would help I guess. But don't give up! The satisfaction of killing a boss in this game is beyond awesome! First time paying a fromsoftware game here and I'm absolutely stunned by the quality here... Wtf is this game?!

The enemy that killed you isn't always the one that picked it up. Any enemy can. Check the area more.

 

[Randam]

Probably depth 3 or above ones give tons of echoes.

How do you get deeper ones?

 

[Finalow]

meh, I'm trying to use the password with a gaffer and it doesn't work.

if anyone wants to try I'm doing chalice ccir6bu8, depth 4. just ring your small bell, level range is 104-148.

not using a password now.

^

summoned Tyler, someone from here? Sadly he died 10 seconds after I summoned him lol.

 

[Elixist]

Yeah I haven't really been using the guns much at all!

i helped a guy beat VA who also was rollin 2h axe, we both just charged r2s and killed her in like 20 secs of stun lock haha.

 

[Curufinwe]

All the way to the top of the HC and there's a locked door. Oh well, I got a lot of items.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

holy shit the dungeon queen

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

lol Jesus Christ.

Spoiler

I consumed the 3 umbilical cords then accepted from Gehman. New game +

Goddddddd


Looks like I wasted a ton of time. Oh well, New character it is.

Another enemy may have picked them up. Look for an enemy with glowing eyes.

 

[Gr1mLock]

One thing the DS series needs to seriously stop with is marooning me when I just hit a button to open a door.

 

[Ethelwulf]

So to open any chalice dungeon I need the item bsb drops? Or this is to open ONE and only one dungeon?

 

[hal9001]

Game finally arrived and I'm getting destroyed. First time I've played a Souls based game before. Loving the atmosphere and mechanics though.

 

[Error]

Those fucking big legs red belly things, good god.

 

[Draper]

So uh, lvl 103 here on NG+ at the Shadows.

Anyone in the range to assist me?

 

[Aztechnology]

How do you get deeper ones?

Complete the ones you have, usually the boss at the lowest level will give you a chalice one deeper.

 

[Beant]

lol Jesus Christ.

Lololololol. Sorry man that's terrible also hilarious.

 

[SRTtoZ]

I'm about to throw the damn disc out the window.

Fuck
Dogs
Fuck
Bell Maiden

I can't even fucking reach her if these fucks chase me down 300MPH and I can't kill them fmast enough or stun them from the way this part of this level is designed.

If you're still having issues or anyone else, this is how I do it

I'm level 55.

Anyone just not use the gun anymore?

I used it constantly in the beginning, but found myself using it less and less.

Legit lol. Sorry man that SUCKS.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Those fucking big legs red belly things, good god.

Yeah those things freak me the fuck out, fuck those things and they are TOUGH right now but then again I'm only like 66 or 67 right now.

 

[dark_prinny]

Never talked to Eileen. Can't find her anywhere

45 hours in and same for me.

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

Lololololol. Sorry man that's terrible also hilarious.

I should've read up on it. Assumed pressing O was the same as refuse like most NPCs. Sigh. Lesson learned.

 

[Kyoufu]

If your battle tactic is Spin 2 Win with the Axe, then yeah, you probably won't use the gun much.

I like using it for Visceral Attacks.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

So, gonna try to get that cannon/Axe combo that Ela is rocking on his speed run.

Apparently the Axe is just a better str weapon than the fulkhammer despite scaling because of the moveset. I guess it just works out to be more damage. Which is a bummer since my hammer is +10 and can't switch to the axe till I get the bloodrock.

Honestly I'd choose the holy blade personally. The axe has a much better R2 attack for stunning but outside of that the blade is better in every single way. It has horizontals as it's first R1 attack, overhead swing through L2 and lunge attack and piercing damage on its heavy attack. Then the light form is so much faster than the axe. It also scales better than it too. The R2 is honestly the biggest advantage for the axe, otherwise I find it particularly slow.

Teleport to the Tomb of Oedon, if it doenst let you then shes probably there. If not there check the Grand Cathedral.

 

[Ethelwulf]

45 hours in and same for me.

I attacked her by mistake so you're not as screwed as I am

 

[RoboPlato]

About the items you need for one of the endings:

Spoiler

Can you consume the umbilical chords at any time or does it have to be at a certain moment?

 

[SRTtoZ]

Is the Tonitrus any good? Anyone maining it?

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Uh, no. It's your only defensive option outside of dodging and it does great damage with bone marrow ash, I use it all the time.

 

[BrokenIcarus]

What the fuck am I supposed to do against the 3man Hunter Ganksquad in Unseen Village, probably just died like 20 times! URGH!

 

[Ryuzaki07]

so what are

Spoiler

beast blood pellets

and what is

Spoiler

beasthood?

When you consume them, you enter a state that increases your damage the more damage you deal. Its temporary.

EpicNameBro strongly suggested that it has some secret uses, and correlated that to the visceral attack animation, urging the viewner to pay attention at your characters hands when he does a Vis Attack.

Also, insight lowers your beasthood, so theres some lore implications there.

I use it very little, but no fucking way I'm fighting other hunters without using all of my bullets.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Second game straight where dex got dumped on huh..

 

[Jarrod38]

I come to realize I suck at this game.

 

[Timeaisis]

So what's a good alt weapon for a skill build? I love the cane, but am itching to try something new.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

She got murdered by a hunter in my game. Still got her crow suit though

 

[GavinGT]

The gun is always good for slow enemies, because it's easy to tell when to parry them. With fast enemies, it's useless to try to parry unless you really know their moveset and when you can parry.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I have a question about the F

Spoiler

orbidden

F

Spoiler

orest

. Where the hell am I trying to get to? I keep going down, down, down. I ended up finding a giant pig, and some

alot of

snakes, and eventually got killed by these little blue bastards that look like Sea Urchins. Am I getting close to the boss? Because srsly, fuck this place.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

45 hours in and same for me.

Check by the Cathedral but if you've beat

Spoiler

Rom or the Witches you've gone too far, she will show up as an enemy in the Grand Cathedral after you kill Rom. She is incredibly tough so be careful. Alternatively, if you haven't progressed to far she should be right outside the Oedon Chapel church ward(where you can send NPCs) to the left, I've found if you haven't talked to her at all, she'll be there and give you the gestures you missed before from her first appearance. From there go to the place where you fought Gascoigne and get ready for a tough fight against Henryk the Yellow Hunter.

 

[Lifejumper]

Strange that they disabled share play. Its a Playstation exclusive..

 

[Kai Dracon]

Is the Tonitrus any good? Anyone maining it?

It has low durability but can be really good and people like it for killing bosses due to the bolt element.

It's something to pull out when shit gets real and you need some burst damage.
