After playing and beating bloodborne multiple times I decided to give this a shot. I was expecting the combat to feel faster, but man is it taking a bit to adjust.

I can never shake the feeling that I'm leaving one or two secret areas behind when I get to a new area but I try my best to explore, these areas are huge, and I'm loving this game so far.

Is there a reason I SHOULDN'T use a Raw Stone to upgrade the Uchigana? It's only at +2 right now. I'm a Merc focusing on DEX.
To the best of my knowledge there aren't that many areas and they are easy to go back to.

I'm running Sorcerer. It's very underpowered compared to DSII. DSII allowed you to be a pure caster, but here it's very much a secondary tool. It's just too slow. Even normal soul arrows, with a ring to boost spell casting time feels like it takes 5 full seconds to go off. Enemies are extremely fast and honestly, the new FP system means you are very limited in amounts of casts.
Once you get a good +5 and upwards staff and 50+ Int...you start doing good damage. But yeah, you'll definitely need a good infused weapon (raw,crystal) and get your dodge cap on.
For the short term it's fine. You'll get a damage boost. For the long term? Take it off later. It gets rid of the stat scaling, so you leveling up dex won't increase the damage of your uchi.

Does anyone know if it is worth it to infuse fire or dark on a strength weapon for a strength build? Probably not, huh? Like does the elemtal damage make up for the lower base damage and removed scaling?

Just invaded someone that already had 1 black phantom and 2 helpers. And he used the item that aggros the enemies against us. 5 way free for all in the swamp featuring monsters!

Late Game Spoilers. I think I broke my save file.
So, I died at the same time Aldrich did. Died immediately after the cutscene. I don't know where I was teleported to, and see no bonfire to fast travel to. Is my game broken?

You have to
attack the pods you see on his feet, back and stomach in order to deal any damage to him.
Goddammit. Facing the
with a claymore is like fighting Maria with a large and slow weapon. I always fought her with a quick weapon and considered it a fair game, but I can't even get close to the motherfucker with a claymore. Even if his hit doesn't get me, his
will.

Ah okay. Is it better to hold off until I hit the max on the Uchi?

Executioner's Greatsword better than Claymore or not worth it?
Looks cooler, but Claymore seems to have the better R2...

Same deal as the raw infusion above, short term it may be worth it. Long term the scaling will produce more damage. But
there's an item that lets you undo infusions while keeping the normal upgrades.
If anything it's better on a non-maxed one, levelling the weapon up also increasing the scaling so the higher the weapon goes the more scaling you are missing out on.
Amazing!Late post, but Im going to make some art to chronicle my playthrough of the game (as much as I can) Stayed up late to finish the first piece. Wanted to share before I went to bed and woke up for work in 5 hours, aaah

I figured that, but I do really tiny chip damage and his limbs flail all over the place, not to mention the random enemies spawning everywhere. I assume I shouldn't even target the boss? Because it doesn't let me hit those.

If I put a sharp gem on my uchigatana would I still upgrade it with titanite or would I need more sharp gems?

Was it the cutscene where

I think the gems are just a sideways upgrade, meaning if you level it up with titanite shards to +2, it'll be Sharp +2 when you use a Sharp gem. Then you just continue leveling it normally

So I need to go to the High Wall of Lothric? I died immediately after the cutscene. Couldn't even see where I was.

If you
attack the little pods/zits on his limbs they will eventually explode and deal a chunk of his health away and you just need to compete rinsing and repeating. They won't respawn so you have to hit different ones each time until they are all broken. I found it was best to focus on his back while he swings his front branches back and forth and then focus on them when he isn't attacking.

Evwrything about the lead up to the
reveal was incredible. A few subtle hints, then it just hits you.
I don't agree with the complaints of "too much fan service". I think it was handled just right.

Well...I wasn't going to get it, or at least wait for a big sale. But I got it off GMG. I did not like DS2, got the original and Scholar of the First Sin and while it looked amazing I just didn't like it compared to DeS or DS1 (which I platinum'd on ps3 no less). Tried to play DS2 several times and just couldn't bring myself to trudge through it.
Better get some more beer while it downloads.

Does password summoning ignore level gaps? IE can I be summoned by early game friends if I'm at level 90?

I mentioned this awhile back when someone said they were formatting. I upload my save to Dropbox every night when I'm finished. It's almost unbelievable it doesn't support cloud saving but it takes 2 minutes to do it yourself, you can even set up Onedrive to sync automatically (Google it, there are guides).

go back out the way you came in and look around more.
So... I invaded someone with the red eye orb while in the sunlight covenant.
And got a sunlight medal for killing them.
What?
You can turn it raw and then turn it back to normal later. You'll want to turn it sharp later.
