I really hate the Witches on Chalice dungeons. Not only her minions kill you in two hits if you're in a cursed one, her summon effect makes the framerate goes to shit.

That's what happened to me. I was going back and forth and I never noticed him.
I laugh now at the idea of him lying at the floor waiting to speak his final words, watching the idiot running around the place.
Just finished it yesterday actually and at the end I think I only got 140k or so.

What is the bare minimum stats to put in to 'properly' use the HMS? Not something too time consuming like 50/50/50 (STR/SKL/ARC)
And at the same time not lock you out of other weapons options.
I'm thinking of leaving out SKL other than the base.

Honestly, I think the easiest farming spot in the game now is the
Those enemies drop a decent amount of echoes. Plus there are like 15 of them and the whole place is right by the lamp.
However, my results could be skewed because I've only played through there in NG+4.
Research Hall ground floor after you raise the central platform.

Blood vials are easy to get tho. How are they bad?
Keep in mind that after 25 STR, you gan more damage leveling up 25 too.
Also, ARC doesn't add much damage on R1 but a lot on the L2 and R2 beams, so level up depending on how much do you use those attacks.
Minimum I would do is 25/25/25 IMO.

Anybody wanna help me with defiled Amygdala? I'm level 150 but this my personal nightmare...
sure, ring the bell with GAFHUNT pass and I'll join. I'm on the game right now.

Hmmm, I thought of that as well, but I'm a bit hesitant pumping into SKL cause I'm planning to using that character to experiment with other STR weapons as well as some ARC stuff, and SKL wouldn't benefit any of those weapons like the hammer for example.

Ringing right now
lol at dying at the very end. Hope you got it!
Well you sitll get good gains with STR after 25, Is just that not as much as SKL to 25. Problem with MLS is that it requires a dedicated build around it. It will probably still fare well enough with STR/ARC alone.

Dude, you are awesome! I just think I learned a lot
Phase 3 always got me - even when i fought carefully, batet her stomps and went for the cheap Hits..:Thank you!

Been there too. Defiled was a pain for me. This one is a test of patience while solo.
I remember just cheeseing the 3rd phase, baiting her jump attack and attacking. You can pretty much make her only jump, giving you an opportunity to hit her safely.
In coop though it's easier to just stand on her arms and hit her away

The expansion bosses are on a whole new level of HARD. The sadists at From really outdid themselves here.
Was the first playthrough with a new character (no NG+) and I had to level up to 139 and switch from a Reiterpallasch to a Chikage so I could finally beat the O
and L
. Got the latter on my second try though. Praise Oedon, bloodtinge is life.
I can't imagine how hard NG+(+++++) must be.

Yeah I still thing a Bloodtinge character with a Chikage is the best for PvE, even more now with the Bow.
Pizza Cutter is almost up there though.

I don't have the DLC yet, but does it make it easier to get Blood Rocks/Chunks or what?
There's only 1 blood rock. Plently of chunks though.

Second... Don't forget Demon's souls.

Demons souls didn't use an estus flask system.
You farmed and stockpiled grass in that game.
Wasn't Demon's basically the same as Bloodborne? (never played Demon's).
Nope. You could stock as many as you want and there were a lot of variations that could easily be stocked as well.
That's why he said second.

Hmmm thanks, I'll keep that in consideration.
You can carry up to 99 of a single healing item type, and you have multiple healing item types.

Yeah... That was my point. Dark Souls was technically the second game in the souls series, so they didn't "get it right first time".
Just a personal pet peeve of mine, when people forget Demon's souls existed, or pretend that it didn't.
I do prefer the estus system from DS1 though. Not that I ever really struggled for grass/blood vials in any of my playthroughs, but I don't really see how Demon's or Bloodborne benefitted from limited health items. Demon's was especially bad, as you could literally carry around hundreds of items with you. I guess DS1 had humanity, but I used to save that for pvp.
wow, so you could use 99 healing herbs on a fight? yeah that seems overkill.
yeah sorry, somehow I didn't get your post at first. Guess too much wine on lunch

I use Mergo's Loft middle exclusively for farming and once you've done the run a couple of times I'd say chance of dying was negligible. I let the pigs and the big group of SoY kill each other and pick off whoever is left. With all 3 Moon runes equipped I think this has to be the fastest/most profitable farming route?
The boss was pretty weak as well so maybe it was intentional
I mean, you hear waaay less people complaining about this boss in comparison to two others.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
So I take it that this DLC is quite hard.
So,e have said it's the hardest experience in any of the souls games.
Agree?

Dark souls 2 had far more bullshit bosses so nah.
They'll need careful playing, that's for sure. The one with the anchor is super dangerous with that range.

Well, I don't think she was that easy tbh, it's just that is really easy to parry.
But yeah something was up on devs mind, the defense is one of the lowest (not counting cosplay costumes).
No kidding, it took about 8 or so tries before I finally just got them both. Only

Its the price to pay for making a fashionable cool looking female warrior.

I don't know man, that collar is pretty terrible. Kind of breaks the (otherwise great) outfit for me. And lets not even speak about the mini tophat...
Been roaming around the R
for a while farming some levels. Trying to get ARC to an acceptable level for the Moonlight sword. Currently 50 STR, 39 SKL, 22 ARC. Almost lost 250k blood echoes during a run.
I actually can't find the boss in this area.
Do I get a key from the NPC after turning in a second B
to open the door on the lowest floor? That's the only thing I haven't tried yet.

Go up, then go up.
For me it's full M

(yeah, boring choice for some)I've already activated the device at the very top. Can't get any higher, right?
If you're looking for the boss of that area:
go with the first elevator, exit left in the room with the wheelchair guys. You should have outside a Church Servant, kill him and take the stairs on his right. Those will lead to a big door.
EDIT:
Also, yes. But it doesn't lead to a boss fight.
Episode 18. Pimmsy vs. Micolash, Host of the Nightmare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G58EIpKlXow
This fight was infuriating not only because Micolash refused to run into the rooms where he's supposed to go, but also because he kept spamming A Call Beyond, which is pretty hard to dodge in an enclosed space.
I do like the concept of the fight, it's really unique, just the constant teleporting makes it a little tedious to do.
Shame there wasn't a similar fight to this in the DLC, or another unique style of fight, could've been really interesting in the Hunter's Nightmare.

I can't wait to be done with FO4 so I can get into this.
I just beat amygdala on my original play-through (no + levels). Is this a good point to jump into the expansion before completing the game?
