Bloodborne |OT3| I Cane, I Saw, I Conqu- YOU DIED

So I beat the first boss yesterday on my 2nd attempt. I summoned an NPC helper for science and the fight was over quicker than I thought. Worked my way through the sewers and right up to the second boss without dieing. I then got scared and went back to the Hunter's Dream to spend my Echoes on. Got the Saw Spear (?) because I heard it's pretty good and levelled up a few times.
Stat-wise it seems the Saw Spear is slightly weaker and slower than the Saw Cleaver but it has a higher range? It also scales better with Skill than the Cleaver.
I like hitting multiple enemies with a charged R2 attack. Since the Saw Spear thrusts forward, does it actually hit multiple enemies like the Saw Cleaver does?

Well if you rescue her and talk to her in the Ward you can get a gesture, plus some unique blood (not too useful though). But other than that...
Do you know how chimes work? (not being sarcastic or anything, jw)
Basically, when you use a bell, you summon a bell maiden into your world (in the near area) that rings the bell to find a player. Whenever this bell maiden is out, an invader ringing the resonant bell can be summoned into your world by using your maidens bell chimes. Effectively making it so you make yourself vulnerable by wanting to COOP.

So far I've beaten, in this order (I think):
Have I missed any?

I said a consistent one, not the same one.
I'm completely aware of BB not being set anywhere near the souls games.
I do know how they work and as you can see there is no bell maiden present and the text for the invader is different than the text you get when a co op partner joins.

Basically you are playing offensively and defensively at the same time, chaining together R1 and R2 attacks, switching to cane mode when appropriate and micromanaging your stamina and movements.
Honestly, it feels like a game of chess expressed in rapid movement, you watch your opponent make a move and then you make yours; planning out each dash and counter every step of the way.
Honestly, it's a lot harder but a lot more fun in some ways and really showed me how great the combat system is and the depth to it.
It becomes a game of offensive range and dodging, absolutely fantastic really.
You need 3 and yes you can miss them.
Here's a list of all the bosses in the game (if that's what you're asking):

Damn, that's some funky shit. The coop/online seems to be pretty hit or miss, honestly.

You need three, and it is very possible to miss them. My first playthough I missed them.
What triggers it though? I beat the game without her doing so, but I may not have gone back to the Cathedral Ward enough times. The
old lady
Missing boss:
Martyr Logarius in the Clinic
And yeah.
You need to consume 3 Umbilical Cords (of which there are 4 in the game) to get the true ending. 2 of which can be locked out if you don't do the NPC's quests.
How can I parry reliably?
Also, is it worth making a Pthumeran Root dungeon (depth 1)?

I got trolled, hard.
I've never killed the spiders...I just went on his sides and unleashed my heavy attack with ludwigs holy blade then switched to the Axe. RInse and repeat and beat ROM without spider interference. Dodging the ice boulders was easy if you run right to left in that pattern to avoid getting hit most of the time.

i hate the co-op restrictions that are placed by lvl. I don't get to play much but when I do, I want to play with a buddy of mine. He's overleveled so ill never get to run through the game with him. The game is brilliant except for this.
It makes sense. Otherwise it trivializes the game.
For BSB, the only attack I even tried to parry is the one where it raises up it's right arm for a swipe. If it started any other kind of attack, I dodged because if I missed it meant death due to huge damage from a combo or getting grabbed. In the regular game I fought it pretty normally but couldn't risk it in the chalice dungeon.
No, Black Church set itself isn't enough. You musn't enter Old Yharnam via normal way, only from shorcuts.

To some. To me it's just a cause of frustration.
Tell him to create a second character to play coop with you. That's what I did.
Got a lvl 56 Axe/Strength build primary character for my single player run, and a lvl 30 Cane/Skill build character to have fun with my buddy.
Just making the fight easier. Go ahead and beat him!

Thanks for the suggestion. Good idea.
Yea lanterns are plentiful and near each other in Chalices (it's like a 20 second run from most lamps to bosses). You are also free to go to Hunter's Dream or come back to the Chalice after farming some items. So long as you don't remove the Chalice from the Tombstone.

Many thanks guys. I'll hunt down that boss I missed. Crazy that I'm only just
over halfway through the boss list :/
RE:
Umbilical cords
I read that you can get one from the prostitute, who I have sitting in pain at the church. But I've also heard she can get murdered by the priestess, who is now cackling like mad.
He has a lot of HP, and in my case, BSB aggroed him primarily nearly the entire fight. So yeah, summon him.
are you serious??? lmao...
Kill the nun
If you killed
Rom and haven't been to the clinic yet (via the cave in forbidden woods), that's your best bet. Go there, kill the lady if she is on the table, that gives you your second. Your third is from the second to last boss, that one you always get

Wait, He's at the Clinic? Like at the beginning of the game clinic? I thought he was the boss of
Cainhurst
Holy shit. This fucking game.

You unlock a door that's fairly close to the lantern. It takes like a minute to run back to the boss fight if you die.
Yes the lamp post is usually near the boss room.

The boss door is very close to the beginning lantern, you just can't access that boss door until you unlock it further in the dungeon.

If each of you is wearing a different covenant rune and you are from a post covenants then you will end up as enemies. Even if you summon for a friend. It's an amazing mechanic because it makes duels with friends possible, but it's also a troll mechanic. I like it

You need
3, you will get one from a mandatory boss and you can get another from a location after Rom. There is one missable but 4 total ways

I'm lvl 55 and have nearly 30 in strength/skill but I would like to go arcane (I got some pretty weapon and I'd like to use them ), Do you think it's too late to go arcane ?

You miss Logarius in the Cainhurst castle side area.
You can miss 2 cords I think, and there are 4 in total. You need 3.
