So how those the blacksmith shop work? This forging and everything has me confused. Also what am I supposed to look for as far as weapons and armor being better? Right now I just find myself looking at the multiplier and putting it on like that. Any tips? Just beat Hiruko Enma so I guess I'm on the third level.
Oh and I can't do any twilight missions for some reason either.

Seems painfully obvious. Thanks again.

Nah thanks, I'm soloing everything the first time (though sometimes I help randoms*).

NPC encounters
Yeah that's classic Souls. But what bothers me is that unlike Souls it doesn't seem to save until you use the shrine if you just quit the game. I guess I can just use suspend mode to stop and go to bed, but I don't fully trust it (what if there's a power failure etc.), so that can be bothersome. I wish quitting the game just made a save state that disappeared as soon as you load it.
Nah, I just go fully katana/dual kats on this run. In NG+ or on a new character I'm gonna experiment with the other weapons. I like to specialize my builds.
I think I'll replay the game as a full ninja one day. Only light armour, kusarigama, and ninjutsu abilities (and maybe some magic). Should be fun.
So it worked then?
Good luck! And if you find it too hard don't hesitate to call for help, this game has coop

Axes are fucking amazing. Used it until Region 5. Switched to Spear just because the Red Demon armor.

This was my first soulsbourne game really (I dabbled in yarhnem for a bit but never beat the boss until recently). Over the alphas and the betas i finally got gud and it feels great memorizing your different atk methods etc.
I think what helped was in each alpha beta etc and even the game, I focused mainly on one weapon only (until now where i felt confident enough to branch out)
have fun, the games amazing

Dual swords are great. Fast DPS. The low stance has lots of quick hits with fast recovery, the mid stance has a solid combo finisher (and later the ability to parry though I haven't unlocked it yet, argh!), and the high stance has a skill called Windstorm that just wrecks everything. Plus the iai draw looks cool as hell.
I main katanas, but dual kats as a sub works really well too to mix things up.
Every weapon type has its perks. I main spear as well because I love the range and ki damage of thrust attacks as well as the entangle skill, but I played around with all of them. The dual swords have an insanely good parry skill, the normal sword's great for getting behind enemies doing extra damage, the axe only needs a few hits to deplete the enemies ki while playing defensively and the kusarigama is just too cool.
I'd recommend playing around with some books of reincarnation and seeing what each type of weapon is capable of at full skill. It's impressive what they did here.

to get profieceny trophy, so each weapon get it familiar, then switch?
Thanks all.
I've played a little Demon's Souls and some Bloodborne (perhaps 25% at most) - games that I really want to like but struggle with (neither of those games I actually left because of difficulty... I just drifted away from them) so I know the format at least.
Good tip about the weapons - I have a tendency to just equip what has bigger numbers but as each has a distinct style (and various bonuses) I might try and stick to just one from the outset. The loot system is actually one of the reasons I decided to pick this up.

What do you guys do when your weapon is no longer up to level but has amazing skills? Just forge a new one and let it go ?

Yeah, just let it go, sadly. I wouldn't really bother with soul matching until you have divines.

How the fuck do I kill the Umi-Bozu boss? Tips?
Not really, as soon as you get to NG+ the drops are so valueable that you can have millions of coins in no time, then just choose a rare item to reforge and repeat. Don't forget to speak with them afterwards a couple of times and the patronage points come pouring in.
Light all three fires in the level. Hold your weapon into the fire, have talismans ready.
First phase, constantly move side to side when he does projectile and beam attacks, dodge when he slams down his hands, attack the glowing spots. Second phase keep moving and using fire as well as living weapon.

As far as I can tell you can't do the black ones as you haven't done the mission that they're based on.
Red balls are available to you the black ones are still locked until you beat the main mission.

Flame wheel on ng+ has to be the biggest piece of shit to fight against. One roll and you are dead.
Fire fire and fire
If you lit the lamps you get no adds. Use the fire mask to dismantle the boss quickly. Avoid death lazer

Been progessing quite nicely now. getin gud, just recently now downed Ogress boss solo after a few tries. The Greater Demon hunting side mission was quite a pain though.. until i figured out i just needed to just hug that boss and to go town with low stance katana.

I'm doing NG+ missions and selling the loot (is disassembling and then selling the mats more efficient?) but it's hardly fast. I would need to farm for another 5 hours at this rate. Perhaps I'm just doing it wrong. Last missing trophy too. :/

Did the boss Y
remind anyone of S
from the Dark Souls 3 DLC? I instantly thought of her.
Toughest boss so far for me. I didn't take THAT many tries but I feel like I only won thanks to Living Weapon. I won with 0 elixirs left out of 5 and a sliver of HP, but took out almost half her health bar with LW after depleting her ki.

Square on the world map to bring up region select. NG+ also doesn't keep you from returning to NG whenever you want.
Cool, thanks.
Secondly, where is "proficiency" shown? I can see familiarity on each weapon, but I have no idea if I'm max proficiency in something.

Yep, I thought the same thing. I think that boss is one of the most difficult in the main missions, so you're not alone there either.
Use a Book of Reincarnation to delevel yourself (I went to about 80) and then farm revenants. You'll get 4 divines every time, which you can sell. Also be sure to get the sell price markup at the blacksmith.
Go to your statistics screen and press R1 to get to the second page. Pretty sure that shows all your proficiency levels.

Someone has a list on all skill point locks? Especially famed ones.
I got 2 famed samurai 3 famed ninja and 1 famed onmyo lock so I think I missed some of them?

I just finished fighting her in Way of the Strong and yeah, she doesn't have many moves but she hits like a damn truck and does crazy Ki damage. Once you know how to deal with her she's not too bad, it's just that the punishment for mistakes is pretty severe.

Great trick, thanks. Am I better off selling the divine weapon/armor or disassembling first?
kinda, there's a skill in the ninja/ninjutsu tree that allows you to escape death, and end with 1hp instead

Outside of quest rewards and npc revenants I don't think any loot is set. Try fire paper or the fire paper ninjitsu?
