Passivity might be due to my low insight. How high your insight is? To be honest the HP pool doesn't look that much smaller when I compared to someones NG+ run.
One thing I have disliked so far is that most Skill weapons (or any non- STR weapon really) are gated behind the bosses. I went in with a level 40 skill build hoping to quickly snag a new weapon to do the rest of my playthrough with until I was ready for the new content but there's really only one before the first boss who is nearly impossible at that level.

Yeah I figured that was the case and was able to successfully avoid it on another run but I was just shocked by the range of the move.

For regular game stuff, what is the best course of action to do with Adella? Should I tell her to go to the chapel or no?

Tell that to Arcane players, this expansion is heaven for them
Chapel.

it was 78 before the game decided it wasn't going to refund my insight after failed summons. Sitting at 32 now.

I sware if I could fight him not in this building where the camera wsnt n issue he wouldn't be so bad.
second area felt like a mix of Tower Of Latria and Duke's Archives, and I have to admit it works really well. not really a fan of the boss there though
Duke's Archives is obvious but I don't get why people keep saying Tower of Latria. I can't think of a single thing in the level that reminded me of 3-1 or 3-2.
Even abstract things like "atmosphere"; it felt completely different to me.
If you want to try you could lower your insight under 15 to see if insight affects his passivity/aggressiviness as that is the treshold for regular enemies.
Don't use Ariannas blood. You can use Adellas blood exclusively to make sure she doesn't kill her.

Screw it,
broke me. I'm not proud of it, but I just redownloaded my save from my usb every time I died so I could start outside the boss room until I beat him

Why though? Doesn't that take way more time than running to the boss arena?
edit.
Yes.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Probably fearful of burning through 20, 40, 60, 80 + blood vials...

If it wasn't for the two hunters and the big guy that blocks the path to the boss room, I'd agree. I was just getting too frustrated at my inability to get through those guys consistently, that I was willing to put up with the extra minute or two.

Oh that lol. I found you can kill those.... ERM... Things at the research lab place near lantern fast. With moon runes want 16-18k echos.

Wow,
is the best area of the game so far.
Research hall
How? I can open the other ones but his.
area at the beginning (also how you need to go back with the keys to actually unlock the cell doors), checking dark/creepy rooms and narrow corridors on every floor (feels like, uh, some sort of maze-like tower while going up), even the enemies reminded me a bit of the Tower of Latria ones. oh I mainly meant 3-1, not much of 3-2.
might be a stretch but it gave me those prison and ToL (3-1) vibes.

Yeah, it's great. I think the area after it is even better though.

Hit the black thing that comes out of the squid thingy.
I thought that run was shitty at first but second time I realized it was easy to run past every single enemy without getting hit.
For the big guy wait for him to kill the two guys on the door and once he is on cooldown just run through the door. He never was blocking it totally for me atleast.
You get the key from near the second to last lamp in the DLC.

Thanks, is it bad that I already
have Ariannas blood in my inventory? Should I use it before talking to Adella, or should I just not use it at all?

Ok im done. I don't think this fight is remotely fun with that camera so i will just not bother.
Great DLC for the most part though.
Great DLC for the most part though.
I guess it's just me since others keep saying similar! The initial prison part is obvious but that's barely even the Research Hall lol.
3-1 just feels completely hopeless and scary. And has a giant crucifix repeating crossbow! Research Hall is certainly freaky but feels more alive.
Anyway both are great. I didn't care much for most of the areas in Bloodborne, but I think I like each individual area in the DLC more than the original game's areas combined.

The Lighthouse one, or the one just before
I would just use the Ariannas blood and then take only Adellas blood and use it few times just to be sure. I am not entirely sure what triggers it but as long as you don't use too much Ariannas blood you should be fine.
edit.
Lighthouse hut or whatever it was. There is a guy lying down next to the door. Unless you have already killed him prior.

another regular game question:

lol thx. i swear i can't see half the stuff on screen. i missed the first bosses thing after killing him too
Yeah i'm watching it. The fight has drained his soul and it shows.

Is the big head patient tied to a chair, pic in question, spoilers ahead.
Early chalice dungeon and runes
Oh, I thought it was already dead, so just left it, was wondering why a bunch of notes were around it.
Adeline
You can't get to Mensis with tonsil stone. Lecture Hall is one of the best farming spot for echoes so I would say you should open early as possible. You also get bunch of materials from Nightmare Frontier so you might want to go there and get those.

Yes, its a sidequest from the same area, look at my post above to start it, there is a video with the item location to advance the sidequest.
Just advance all your question will be answered, soon

.... pretty damn easy to be honest, at least in comparison to that first shit bag. 1st time woo. How much more is there to go ? And how do I get into those bits where some guys ringing a bell banging on about assassins ? Should I have answered yes to hearing bells ?

Yeeeeees, optional boss down. Fuck him x)
I think I have a pretty good strategy.
First phase, not much to say. It's pretty straightforward, the cleave are the biggest issue b
- Don't try to do something funny on the very 1st attack, just get close to the boss and let him do his aoe
- Try to stay in his back, 2/3 hits then back off
- You can hit him when his charging some kind of buff, even if you get hit by something, it's worth it
Second phase:
- Don't lock this fucking camera. Seriously, just don't. You may think it's a bit hard to hit the boss without locking him but it'll save your life and your sanity
- Bring him either close to the fog wall or to the big statue. That way, if he decide to charge you can safely evade by going to the opposite side
- Turn clockwise around him when he spits fire, then hit him 3/4 times, then evade (don't evade to find yourself between him and a wall, if he charges you're dead)
- He has 2 "physical" attacks where he extends his arm, this is your chance to place at least 2 hits
It way sound obvious but with that in mind I finished the fight with 12 blood vial. I almost never got hit in P2. Also, equip the Impurity rune to be able to summon a NPC. He's not very useful but at least he can distract the boss for a couple of minute x)
