better then the Axe? It looks promising but I dunno if I want to drop

on it while the axe still does so much freaking damage with the charge attack.

I must have completely missed this Eileen lady everyone keeps talking about, I have no idea who she is or what her quest is. Oops?
She's a woman dressed as a crow (with a feathered cape and a beaked mask) who you first meet in the sewers/aqueduct of Central Yharnam.

I need some advice, I'm considering reloading a PS+ save (and losing all of today's progress which would suck, about 1h30 of it).

Here's what happened (early to mid-game spoilers):

I died to a bag man. I got carried into the Unseen Village area. I explored a bit, immediately found the boss, and killed it super easily. I did NOT find the lamp, missed it.

Now I can't go back upstairs because you drop down from a platform to reach Darkbeasdt Paarl. I returned to the Hunter's dream via the Paarl lamp, returned to visit another bagman, and deliberately died to him, but I just respawned normally.

I know you can reach this area later in the game, but it's really pissing me off. Will I miss some cool secrets/loot? Is that worth reloading for?

Anyone?

Well I feel like I'm posting in here too much :/ I mean I'm only replying/helping/answering questions, but I'm like 1/8 posts ;_;
S-sorry if I'm a bother guys


Does Bloodtinge increase gun damage? Maybe I'll do that. I want to make better use of guns but I'm worried I waited too long.

Yep, guns have bloodtinge scaling.

Huh, must have missed her there. I
killed a crow lady in Grand Cathedral and got her armor set
, so maybe that was her.
 
Anyone have any tips for the Defiled Chalice? I'm level 105 with 50 vit, 40 end and 50 str, using a +10 axe. I also have the +10% health rune but the first boss is punishing almost any mistake I make with instant death. Should I be an even higher level for additional defense? Shit's tough.

I started playing on a DS4, and got past the first boss while dying a bunch, and then switched to remote play and blew through the next 2 bosses like tissue paper.

Loving this so far.
Looks great, plays great, best remote play I've come across yet.


My only issue is that I would have preferred a block, I'm not using weapon switch, power attack, or my pistol at all.

Woah, 21% physical gem. Didn't know they could keep going this high. Seems I got a rare gem that adds 15.8 STR scaling and weapon durability from a depth 5 boss because I've never got one this big looking.

Waaay better if you do a strength and skill build. I have 22 strength,22 skill, fortified plus 8. With charged r2 i can do upwards of 1200 damage

Where'd you get that?
 
Have you been to the
clinic upstairs?

Yeah and
I killed Iosefka who clearly took some Old one tentacle penis and is now pregnant with a horrible abomination, ate the one she gave me. I also found that poor hooker partially turned to a beast and on an operating table.

*story extrapolation from several things and keen observation*

From what I gather, it seems it doesn't quite matter if you transfuse the blood, everyone becomes a beast or some other horror someway and then the Old Ones come down and do a bunch of horrible shit and destroy everything before returning to whatever dimension they came from and doing it all over again somewhere else. Lovecraftian at its finest.

The chalice that talks about a the city in the sands reduced to nothing pretty much implied that.

It was my favorite weapon during my NG playthrough, but I think a lot of the weapons including the axe are totally viable.
20k
souls will not be a big deal by later in the game.

By the time I finished NG, I was Lv90 and my right hand attack stat with the
L Holy Blade
was over 600, fwiw. Staggers for days.

So there's a body no a ledge in Old Cathedral I can't figure out how to get....

As soon as everything in the level is unlocked. Go like you are
heading towards the boss
. As soon as you get up the flights of stairs it's right in front of you. There's a latter next to it, but that doesn't take you to it.

What am i missing?

Go back to the Hunter's Dream and look at the other tombstones.

It took me a while to figure that out lol
There's nothing there.
I did not light any lamps inside, remember?

You missed getting the weapon that the badge the boss drops lets you buy for free, and you may have missed an armor set + a bunch of twin blood stone shards.
Ugh. Oh well I'll just carry on I guess and try again in NG+ or on another character. :/ Stupid how you can't climb back up from the boss area, come the fuck on.

Whats the best gun to use? I saw lots of videos, even pre-release, with a gun that shoot like a shotgun! I'm with a pistol and I'm not sure if that's as effective as it should be.

Google the
abandoned workshop
and how to get there for another. You also get one for the second to last boss. You're fine :)

For the life of me, I can't find my way out of the Lecture Building 2nd Floor.

Creepy door at the end of the path?
or go downstairs, past patches the spider, and out the other door to an optional area

. Poor guy shouldn't have been honourable. He wasn't ready for dat Chikage

Coming out of trick mode flicking the blood off the blade to end a fight is so cool. It's my blood but still.

Any good youtube let's plays? Im liking mfpallytime but he's very early and not pumping them out fast enough (guess because he focuses on Heroes of the storm videos which is where I know him from).

Fuck unseen village fuck it fuck it fuck it. It's so hard......
The first part with the staircase of doom?
Just run run run and don't look back.

My only issue is that I would have preferred a block, I'm not using weapon switch, power attack, or my pistol at all.

I don't use my gun a whole lot as I usually use two-handers or prefer the visibility of a torch, but you're absolutely missing out if you're not transforming your weapons.

God damn. If I still had stuff to kill, I'd grab that, because with that+arcane buff and a few levels, I might be able to throw my sword into the high 800s.

I ate the one from there and the one I picked up off
corpse of Iosefka.

So I'm good then? Sweeeet. Hopefully I can still fight Paarl! I'm sitting outside
Yahargul when everything is batshit insane Nightmare mode THE OLD ONES ARE DESCENDING nightmare mode.

You have enough str to wield the cannon, so blondtinge might be good. Could level up arcane. But really just what weapon do you wanna use? That kinda determines what you wanna do next

No, don't level up Bloodtinge. That weapon has terrible scaling.

Just a heads up, back your save up before you eat the third one if youre going to save scum for all 3 trophies in 10 minutes :p I didnt, which is why I had to do another run >.>

Pretty sure you get there from the C

Something I'm going to throw out there- everyone who plans on doing very late end game should get to 15 arcane, and then thank me later. Youll love the bonus damage from arcane buff on your sword.
If it can be buffed. Lol
