I keep hearing this but the sequence breaking strats and breaking the AI were a staple of speedruns pre-patch and they wouldn't use the bugs if they weren't able to finish the game.

Granted. Just seeing VA with cainhurst hunter makes me wonder is there other things that might be broken due to the skip.

Aw, man, that's sad... I'll create a couple more characters to experiment with before installing the patch then... :/
I'm thinking of doing the same just for the heck of it, but I have no idea how to perform the glitch. Only thing I find online is about one that has been patched already?

aww dammit the unlimted echoes has been patched :(

Really wish they add a way to respec characters. I'd love to experiment with a few PvP characters without having to go through the trouble of going all the way up to 100 with a new character.

thought that was fixed in the previous patch already.

"Bloodsucking motherfuckers"? You mean the tick-women or what?

Though, yeah, I don't know what dogs did to Miyazaki, but it must have been catastrophic. He seems to think they're the most dangerous animal in the universe.

Those tick dudes or whatever they are hanging around outside Cainhurst and showing up in chalice dungeons, they're a pain, They have like no build up it's just like *thwap, thwap*. They could actually probably be lower but they're still a massive pain.

I've asked this before but I may have missed the answer. But I have started doing chalice dungeons. And I was wondering if you can see which dungeons you've completed? I just wanna keep track which I've done and not, cause I figured I should do them all.

If I remove the chalice from an altar and choose to do that dungeon again, I guess the progress will be lost, but will the loot be the same as the first time I did it? And will the loot be the same in root dungeons?

What's the point of sharing dungeons if everyone have access to the same dungeons? Or is it so people can join me in that dungeon?

What in the actual fuck? What triggers those blood echoes? Lol

I honestly have no idea. A viewer suggested that it might be that the dogs keep respawning and dying in the cages, I can go with that haha

Where the hell is the switch in Lower Loran layer 2? I've tried clearing the bell maiden room with the two wolves, but that doesn't seem to lead anywhere... I'm lost :/

Edit: I'm blind. Found a new room. Probably in there.

How did someone figure it out that you need to kill the caged dogs and run back through the clinic for the glitch to work. That would seem so random.

hapenned to me on my first playthrough
killed the dogs, when to the clinic, saw the magic echoes arriving when crossing a specific spot. came back a few meters and saw the echoes kept on coming.
not hard to see at all, its right on the golden path...

But the early game is super great. Why would you skip it / make it piss easy? And I really like building the character more than just dumbing all stats at once.

ya I agree like I said I made an alternate character with it but may never use the alternate. Ironcially my alt is level 88 and now my main is 73, so......... yeah. LoL but the benefit is my alternate is a blade of mercy character, and my main is ludwig/tonitrus, so I have two ready for NG+

but i wouldn't grind through the whole game again starting from level 1, sorry thats just not my style, would be more interested in NG+, now I have two characters who can make NG+....

You need 1 insight (the eyeball icon) to get the doll to animate.

You can gain this insight by
seeing a boss for the first time (you don't have to defeat the boss)
, or by
using a Madman's Knowledge item. (you can find one in the sewer section of Yharnam).

Thank you good hunter. I knew about the encounter requirement but the second part... ugh, I died down there after I tiptoed around the pair of werewolves at the hands of
one of the hideous half man and half beast creatures (movement was not as fluid in the water)
.

Glad I could help :)
When you come up from that area with the cow and the big guy to the bridge
with the two werewolves, just walk down the stairs right in front of the ones you come up from. Then walk to the left in the upcoming area and destroy some more wooden stuff...

I'll definitely give this a try when I am able to play the game next time. Thank you kindly.

If you push through the game accordingly and kill the dogs before they scape the cage, the glitch works as well, since the path to the clinic is pretty near, it's actually pretty simple to find this out. As long as the dogs die in the cages, it works
 
Man it never gets old when you invade someone and your first hit takes off far more damage than they expected so the rest of the fight is spent chasing them around the map while they flee from you like some terrified possum only to ultimately die from a random enemy or fall.

I guess this is more of an PVP thing though that I have almost no interest at all. Getting from base level to 100 isn't that bad though. Takes day or two if you know what to do.

I clearly don't then because my main is level 73 and I bought the game day one. So yeah there's no way I'm going to make my own alternate from level 1... and I'm not doing it for PVP I'm doing it for NG+

Final chalice dungeons and bosses slaughtered. Got my platinum! The dungeons were tedious, but I did enjoy running into the unique enemies and bosses. I just wish some of them weren't such a grind to go through. Fuck the defiled dungeon though. The rest of the areas after that weren't nearly as difficult as that brick wall.

Overall, I really enjoyed this game just as much as any other Souls game. I have no idea if there's going to be any DLC, but I'd pick it up in a heartbeat if they do announce extra content. Everything about this game was pretty amazing, I simply loved the art style. I may go back to another Souls game and try to play it shield-less after this.
