That dude is a fuckhole.
Especially now you can't cheese him into suiciding any more...

I didn't try that, but that's a really good idea.
I didn't know you could parry them, that's great advice. I spent the majority of the time doing laps around the cave and hugging the pillar. Taking cheap shots here and then whenever there was a chance.
If you say so.
Ringing the bell now
I know so. I can't handle them for crap.
If you just want to get rid of him, there is a super easy cheese way... >>
when he goes into his blood mode where he looses health but hits harder, quickly leave the cathedral, and he slowly dies
edit: ohhh ,they patched this? niiiice. on my bucket list ist to beat that fucker legit in NG+ !

I can't seem to ring the beckoning bell, it just gives me the 'not possible' noise when I try. Maybe it's because I already defeated the main boss of this area? I think there's a rule like that but I'm not sure. Let me restart and try again.
Pretty sure that's a thing, yeah.

Can you coop that? I dont remember since you already defeated the area boss
IIRC, you could get close to him until he activates the Chikage, then run away and hide behind a door. He'll just run his health out.
Then again, I'm a cheesy bastard so...
Alright, I'm weighing my options at the end of my NG+++ run. Is it worth it to grind and raise my levels (mainly Vit, though I have Vit - 50, End - 40, Str -50, Skl - 50) past the soft caps in an attempt to get stronger for the last two dlc bosses? Or am I better off going through the game on my NG file and doing the DLC over again with that character?

It would be better to do a new character if you want a specific build like Arcan or Blood and the new specific weapons to +9
I find fighting him on the stairs is best.

About the sharks
For some reason they didnt attack me together until i reached the first one to near death so i just killed them almost seperately.The first one tried to lure me to where the second would drop but i knew he was there since i saw him when i was going down the ladder.
Anyway i might have been to carfefull from the moment i heard that "LALALA" from the brain things lol

Yeah I heard that as well. After beating

She can hear the sound of Gehrman sleeping in ease tonight unlike other nights of hunt where he can barely sleep

I appear to have missed so much additional dialogue
because Gehrman is already dead.
It's just regular NG.Stay outside his range, bait him into attacking and just dodge, don't try to attack while he's in his normal stance. Wait until he switch to two handed stance, that's your chance to charge in since he can't parry. It's gonna be a long fight but this strategy make it easy.
Poison knifes help a lot, especially at the end since he doesn't switch to 2 hand stance when he's about to die.
I tried with the shaman's bone blade but didn't have too much luck - they got bored of fighting each other and remembered me. Instead just use the pillar to your advantage to separate them. The ceiling one seems to have much less health and went down easily once the other one was out of the way. You can easily instigate the long range dive/flailing attack by moving a large distance away and waving. This leaves them open to a couple of hits or parries.

Already used up my poison knives :'<.
The point about him not being able to handed is really useful though, thanks. So far I've just been staying out his reach when he's in 2h mode to let the chikage self-damage build up, but that's real slow.

Bro you are in a world of hurt... You have to beat him solo. Learn his patterns and use the Ludwig. I do not know if From programmed the AI to be cocky as fuck but he will sometimes slow walk toward you and you can use R2 to hit him. Also dodge like a motherfucker, get in one or two good hits then back off.

Is there a bloodbourne community? I thought I saw a GAF made one in the thread earlier?
That did the trick. Funnily a cooperator joined soon after the second shark got in but he got squashed almost immediately.
You can't. It's a solo fight.
What is so cheap about it? Put on some

not really. If you stay close to him, as in claw swipe range and not under him, he will stick to his phase 1 moveset.

I did have fire resist. He cornered me with the combo :'(

Yeah o.mn NG+... He does mega damage...
They patched it out but you can still keep your distance and let him slowly drain himself periodically. It takes a bit longer and you can get some hits in as well.
On NG+ I can understand, but on regular NG his new stuff just doesn't do enough damage to be particularly worrying. I didn't even equip relevant runes.

bolt i think since he's kin
TheBlackMarvel

Physical. Bolt is entirely avoidable and I don't think he does the other damage types. Unless you're wondering which damage type YOU should be doing... In which case I'd guess Bolt.
Orochinagis
Member
Bolt, he uses physical hits and blood magic.
The fire is not what I'm worried about on NG+. Its the physical damage from one sweep. One mistimed dodge and its all over. Every co op partner I've had has also died on this stage smh.
There's another way to cheese the Cathedral Chikage hunter.
Lure him to the entrance door. Like, at the doors. When he reach there, he loses aggro and try to go back to the Cathedral, you need to stand in front of him so he can go away, you can hit him while he just stand there walking trying to enter.

People just get real greedy cuz the fight can be a pain, so they want to end it. It's weird, cuz the second phase is *way* easier imo -- you actually have good entries to do sustained damage, and he telegraphs for *years* when you can.
Helped my friend do it who is horrible at the game, and we had Valtr, and it lasted all of 2 mins before he was dead.
