Warp and go back to where he was standing and it should be on the ground. Also, be careful when crushing multiple. I think it didn't count them all for me once.

Uh..you leveled up arcane for a weapon that doesnt scale greatly off of arcane? Its no wonder you do no damage. What you're doing, attempting to fight Ludwig like that, is essentially a challenge run.
Go level up skill for the blades if you wanna stand a chance.
Alot of people complain about the boss health but imo the bosses health is fine, granted you went through chalice dungeons for good gems. At NG+5 with a fully upgraded and gemmed out wheel I felt I was doing fine damage. The fights didnt feel like a battle of attrition, just rely on you learning the crazy difficult movesets. Yeah there are a few one shots but that's to be expected in higher NGs.

Still need to find a strategy for those fat dudes with axes, their range is giving me trouble.

i went to do some gems and chunks and had to spunk money on blood offerings (5), yellow eyeballs etc because i've never made a Ihyl Root with all the debuffs and what not.

Valtr in NG+ vs laurence is a shitshow. He runs straight into the first attack and loses 80% of his health, then you're left to see if the AI attempts to heal before the next attack. 40% of the time he doesn't and is wiped out by the next attack.
It'd be hilarious if the second form wasn't such a big sweaty arsecrack of a time.

Going to have a few tries at Laurence, any GAF hunters willing to help?
Recommended level for that area is 65. So for the boss it is probably 65-70. As for my experience lvl70-80 is good.

dodge, parry, visceral. You can also get a visceral after their bellyflop if you get a backstab. You can get a free backstab on the first one by following him slowly around the middle column and bone blade one of them after the second one falls down. I was even able to climb the ladder and do a falling attack on both at one for massive damage.

Thanks! I'll try that.

So I beat the DLC and got all of the trophies yesterday. Overall a very good expansion with some of the best "souls" bosses I've ever fought. The only one that truly gave me any trouble was the optional boss, and that one took me and my buddy at least 10-15 tries to take him down. I'm just not a fan of how much health the dude has. It's absurd. But the 2nd phase of that fight with the music was so hype! The first boss I actually beat on my first try, and I loved the second phase of that fight too. The best fight was
The final boss was pretty tough but once I started using a different form of my weapon it became a lot easier.
As far as areas in the game go? I really like the first two areas! Especially the second one, the atmosphere in there was amazing. The third area was cool looking but the encounters just felt sloppy, like they just wanted to throw lots of enemies at you without a care for design. And the bros in the well! Seriously, they can go to hell. I had to cheese that one.
I love the new weapons, especially Simon's Bowblade and the Whirligig Saw. But each weapon has a nice design and I'm eager to try them out.
Overall, I give it a 9/10. Awesome, just with a few problem spots. This is how DLC should be done.
Maria. I absolutely love those one on one fights against someone of your size in video games.

You have to be patient and learn the range of their crazy moves. I found it easy to get behind thwm after their dive flop but when the second one drops it gets crazy. I'm not sure I would be able to beat them without the bone blade. They usually do massive damage to each other.

Care to join us, then we will help you.
I am pretty much going to be camped out outside Laurence's door for the next hour until I learn the second phase well enough to kill him solo (becaue I have soloed every boss's trophy in this game and I'll be damned if I summon for the last one I need to be at 100%)
So let's do this!

Good try, the HP on this guy ...............Sorry Cobra, he got me

For me definitely.
Goddamn it, I keep getting two hit killed by the double arm swing, I get hit, I try to dodge back instinctively to heal, and get caught by the follow up. Pretty much 90% of my first phase deaths are to that. I keep telling myself try dodging into him next time but the instinct is too strong.
Let's go again.

YES.....
They ARE easy to parry, but I was so irritated with them before I learned that. Even so, they are bullshit. Their tracking is RIDICULOUS. Just to see what would happen I unlocked from one of them and ran THREE FULL LOOPS around it as it was winding up for an attack. Guess what? He fucking bullseye'd me, and spun the whole time to match my position. Completely fucking stupid.

Does anyone really call them Blood Echoes?
There are to kinds of people. People like you, who refer to "dex weapons" and "quality builds" and still think they're collecting "souls."
Then there are people like me, who refer to everything by its proper name because we are proper people.
These are your people and my people. And my people hunt your people. You are the scourge of the earth. I'll mess up your brain.

Heh you're welcome, the second phase always gets so tense

What would you guys say are the best DLC weapons? Do you find any of them replacing your previous main?
I must be boring because I just CAN NOT bring myself to put down the trusty Saw Cleaver. It's the longsword of Bloodborne - that shit just gets the job done.
Remember that bosses in this series impact everyone differently as some people may not struggle with the ones other people do and vice versa. Personally,

who did I just help?Holy shit, if you have trouble with first boss and use NPC help, forget the NPC Old Hunter Henriette ! (good for first phase but he dies as soon as the second phase begins in my NG+) > get Valtr, the League boss as NPC summon ! He's the man and beasted trough L in one go with me. More health, and his pizza cutter is nice.
Finally ... had L almost down solo a couple of times but his sword moves in phase 2 still took me off guard sometimes. Don't want to know how he is in NG+++ and more. Still very nice boss and the transformation to phase two was a real "shieeeet" moment. Chapeau FROM.
And yeah, when you summon NPC's (or other players) with GAFHUNT password, invasions happen pretty quick. One time was someone in
mode but i had the two Cthulhu guys near the lamp aggroed so it was to much on my plate.
Glad that i can move on now. 4 bosses to go DLC is already worth the 20 € nonetheless.

You are waaay better than me to get that far at your level. Good job, man. I hope you beat him.
It's bad if I want to nitpick using campfire instead of maiden or just doll, isn't it?
Though it doesn't help that every game's soul redeemer is different, while it's 3 against 1 for souls.

The doll never calls the hunter "master" either. This comic sucks.
