Yup. Screw doing that cave by myself. I'm calling for reinforcements.

How I got it down was to whack the first one very close to half hp, then get a viceral attack (with viceral bonus runes ofc) and whack him while he runs away. This way the first shark was down to about ~10% hp.

After that just try to seperate the sharks and let the jesus take the wheel and pray that you get the low hp one down.

how quickly do you get frenzied?

Frenzy builds up only from L2 attack which I don't use that much even if it does 1000 per hit. It builds up as fast as frenzy always does but if you use Bone Ash set or Graveguard set + Frenzy resist rune you won't get frenzied and it works more like a cooldown phase so that you can't spam it.

Should be a cutscene. Sounds like your game is a bit messed up -- just restart and go back. Worst comes to worst you missed a 10 second cutscene you can watch on youtube.

You will get pushed to NG+ so be careful

 

[Radical Edward]

Okay, I am at the point where I barely die to the big L. I think having one helper is better than two.

First Phase- Try to stay on both sides of him and make him choose one of you. When he does the other can attack his back/legs for a few hits and sometimes a nice combo. When he turns, the other player can do the same. Just watch out for his big slam/aoe attack.

Second phase- do the same but bait his forward fire spew. The player behind him can stay pretty close and he takes a while to start the attack, it is really telegraphed. The player behind can move in for a nice combo and roll out, while the other player can hit him from the other side. Repeat until dead.

Just remember to never get caught in a corner and I found not locking on was so much easier since you can easily roll away from all of his attacks. Fire resistant gear seems to help too.

Solo is a different story

I have been co-oping him all morning and this has worked almost all of the time. Good Luck, GAF.

You can parry them with your blunderbuss quite easy or using a shaman bone blade.

I am on that zone using the gaf password helping people with those guys

Post-DLC, the Doll said something about Gehrman but I skipped through it by accident because I didn't expect her to have anything new to say. Does anyone know what she says?

No.

NG+3 or 4 (can't remember, my Ludwig 10, with around 800 damage does like 500-600 damage with Bolt paper) on one and 2 on another. One is lvl 200, the other 90. I've been using the Harrowed Set, but I'll try with a high fire res.

 

[duxstar]

Use parry, parry the first guy twice , the first visceral shouldn't be enough to aggro the second guy. Then use the second visceral to get the first guy dead or close to it, run in to kill the first guy before the second drops down.

Repeat on second guy

Oops meant the final boss of the DLC. Or can I still explore after beating OoK?

 

[Maintenance]

I think he thought you were talking about a different pair of fat dudes, much later in the game. You're talking about the big axe guy right next to the shortcut gate back to the ladder in Central Yharnam, right? But the general strategy for fat dudes is going to be the same: try to master their parry windows if you can, otherwise try to bait one of their big slow attacks by standing just at the edge of its range, then go in for one or two hits before dodging back again.

Big dudes have a lot of range, but they're slow. You want to get them to commit to an attack that won't hit you, then punish them.

Thanks, I found out later that we misunderstood each other.


So far I'm impressed by the game and the community to be honest, the loudest ones in general threads made me think that it would be a lot different.

stay very close and bait his single claw combo, dodge the first claw strike to left and stay close to abdomen and attack. rinse-repeat
If you stay far, he will do the lunge or the move where he just tracks you around.

Also I was wondering if there is a bonfire ascetic type thing in the game. I really want to replay the bosses in the DLC...

Glad you're enjoying yourself! Try not to spoil yourself too much - there are a few hidden areas that you'll really want to stumble on by yourself in your first playthrough. It's that sense of mystery more than anything that makes these games so engrossing.

 

[Orochinagis]

I leave them alone until you unlock the elevator and killed them from afar.

You probably found out you could parry them before the rest of us. They were deadly until I figured that out

You can co-op, but besides reloading an old save the only way is through a NG.

Try sticking to the right of the room. When he spits lava at you, run around to the left. HIS right. There will be an opening for you to attack. Let him spit lava a few times to get the pattern down.

If you let him spit lava in the middle he can trap you.

Yeah, it becomes much easier if you can get him to keep spitting fire in middle of the room.
