Well shit. Guess I'll stick with the threaded cane as a SKL build through the DLC...

How do I get the loot that's
In the well? It's guarded by two shark monsters and it up on a ledge.

the skill and bloodtinge weapons you do get later on are pretty great, though
Thanx! was not expecting that weapon.
abut that lady, I gave here one
fluid
if you keep going through the fishing village you'll eventually get to some caves that'll lead you to it.
keep leaving (to the hunter's dream) and coming back and talking until she asks again

There is 4 Skill and 5 Str weapons. I would say that is pretty okay ratio and those Skill weapons are cool also.
Use her blood. If you don't have her blood make sure you use Adellas or Ariannas blood to get Adeles blood.
Fuck yeah. I'm so excited to try it out. I felt the Skill weapons were lacking.

That's weird. I did that and didn't see anything of that sort. Back to exploring I guess.

This DLC is infinitely better than the regular Bloodborne game. In fact it's such a step above it feels like it's not even part of the same game.

It's
Right after you take the elevator down from the second lamp. If you run into the Frenzy Brain Ladies you are heading in the right direction.
So I've been doing the math while being unproductive at work, and I realized that the OoK has about 35,000 Heath on NG+7. My visceral attack does about 4,500, and regualar does about 450. So, on his second form, if I hit him once every opportunity i get, which I'm gonna say is twice every 30 or so seconds. The fight is gonna take like 40 minutes. That with the fact this guy can kill me in about 2, 3 hits is really making it tough. Why does this boss have so much health?

There are a lot of opportunities to gun parry and backstab in the fight. Identifying those moments and exploiting them is the key to successful OoK fight, especially on new game ++ and higher.

Okay so I just beat Amelia and I got the item in the hunters dream, so I guess i can start the dlc? But I'm only level 31 (I can buy about 4 more levels at the moment however)
I should probably wait a while before trying?
Anyway a few questions:
1. Any skill weapons I can grab very early in the dlc? That way even if I can't tackle it yet, I can start using/leveling a new weapon?
2. My stats are as follows any suggestions on what to boost?
V 20
E 17
St 9
Sk 20
B 7
A 8
3. What are good stopping points for Vit and End? When do the diminishing returns start to kick in heavy?

Yeah. Now that I know how ridiculous it would be to do it with normal attacks I'm gonna work on finding those opportunities.

You need to get close, I was consistently getting him to the second phase and failing. Frustrated and tired i just charged at him during his second phase and that's how i killed him.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Bell summoning being broken as ever makes the cheapass optional boss a testament to all of Bloodbornes failings

Any of the new DLC weapons good for a Skill/Str build, with very low bloodtinge and Arcane? Or am I better off just sticking to Ludwig's?
i dont see any opening spot when he is at second phase.. non stop spams attacks

Area 2 random screenshots

Third boss, any tip for
btw, lore spoiler
EDIT: NVM boss down !!
her third phase, the one that her atacks have both blood and fire damage? I feel like the only way to beat that is to git gud at parry but I'm never gud at it. I don't see how I could approach her otherwise,
btw, lore spoiler
fucking knew Maria was the human doll!
EDIT: NVM boss down !!
Recommended level is 65. It might be rough going in with that level though but it is doable.
whoa, spoiler that shit! nice shots but...

I started a New Game for my first DLC run. I entered the DLC at level 60. I would recommend you do the same. Plenty of challenge. When I finished the DLC I was at level 79. So that should give you an idea of what the difficulty curve is like in the DLC.
goddamn it, now i accidentally read a spoiler trying to reply to this. D'oh.
anything not in the initial trailer is a spoiler as far as I am concerned. I wish I hadn't seen the later two shots because I haven't seen them in game yet.

70, for real, the enemies do massive damage if you are not careful.
Mmm dont worry too much, those scenery areas are not related to the history at all. the next areas I will put them in spoiler cuz those really a twist to the game and lore
Anyone know if there's a way to obtain the C
k besides the NPC near the underground cell? It didn't drop for me and now I can't obtain the Gold Trophy for all weapons.
Never mind: Found my answer, it wasn't the NPC that dropped it. haha The NPC that drops it is in a nearby room behind another locked door.

We really are spoiled with the art direction in this game. Thanks for sharing
Wait, where did you get this from?

Maria's armor and her weapon. I mean yeah
she is a relative of the queen
The Rakuyo, yes but is a sword and a small dagger
The guy sitting in the underground cell? You'll have to kill him if you want all weapons.

I wouldn't head into the DLC on NG until about 65, the level enemies are manageable at lower levels, but the bosses will probably stop you dead.
You can get the
Beasthunter Saif
You're never gonna go wrong putting points into vit / end, In fact, I like to pump those stats early since early weapon dmg will come from weapon level instead of stat scaling.
For a skill build at around 65 I would probably target something like 35 VIT, 25 END, 10 STR, 40 SKILL,
