Have a little respect, SPOILERTAG.

 

[Fhtagn]

Hello OT3.

Anyone else dreaming about this game? Probably playing it a little too much :-D

 

[Audioboxer]

Anyone know where to get a good fire gem? Any fixed locations or enemies to farm? Or is it pure luck/chalice dungeon farming? Cheers

Master Logarius

is tough, but I think I have his first form pegged.

Spoiler

Second form where he goes ballistic is a bitch though,.

He's

Spoiler

going to get in close no matter what. Regain and parry systems are your friend. Be sure to dodge. If he uses sword attack you can cancel it by destroying the sword he stuck in the ground.

 

[halfbeast]

Level 83 though I have enough echoes to level up 2-3 times.

i'm 67 myself, already dying left and right D:

 

[zoobzone]

You didn't happen to meet any squid-looking things that sucked your brains out did you?

That did happen once or twice, do they steal my insight?

 

[d00d3n]

Please, Gascoigne.

I cant.

My chest hurts from beating so fast/hard.

My brain hurts from being beaten so hard.

That boss is so easily cheesed with the cane. If you don't have it, get the item that allows you to buy all starting weapons from the room where the giant rat resides (

Spoiler

sneak up on it and backstab

), and buy the cane. Get 5-10 molotovs. The cheese strategy for the battle is

Spoiler

hide behind gravestones and use the r2 attack of the cane's whip form to attack the boss through the stones. When he transforms into a beast, keep your distance and throw molotovs on him. If you want to cheese the beast phase even more, get the music box, play music to immobilize the beast, and use this window of opportunity to throw fire at him

. This is one of the fastest ways of farming insight as well.

 

[AmethystEnd]

Yes.

Is there any way to "activate" a different lamp? I'm going through the forbidden forest, but had to go back to the hunter's dream. Now, even though I've activated the lamp in the forbidden forest, I can't awaken there directly. Now, I can awaken at the Grand cathedral and go all the back, but if I die, I get awakened at the grand cathedral and not at the lamp in the forbidden woods.

 

[BokehKing]

When does this get moved to the OT section of the forum? This is moving at destiny speeds right now, so glad to see positive thoughts pretty much through out all 3 OT's so far

So crazy that we are on OT3 after a week. Hoping to take down a few more bosses today after work.

Check the tombstone in the Hunter's Dream next to the one you use to awaken in the cathedral

Mindblown!!!! Thanks

 

[Duffman]

That part is legit hard. Patience and gun parries is what saved me.

Spoiler

Lure them out one at a time to the area where the bell maiden and her minions were.

Ludwig's, man. It staggers everything, or thereabouts in its L2 form.

Spoiler

I led each one up the stairs near the broken lamp, and picked them off one by one.

Thanks for the tips guys. I have to farm some blood vials before trying to fight them again, though. lol

 

[Syntsui]

Wow, OT3? This is ridiculous.

 

[Mogwai]

Hello OT3.

Spoiler

I had a nightmare with one of those Byrgenwyrth creatures.

Needless to say, it ate my face. Literally.

 

[ogbg]

Dude, I'm at the same spot and thinking the same thing. It's such a huge difficulty spike, I thought maybe I skipped an area before Unseen Village. I may farm a little before tackling the area again.

Oh, and I hear you can pull those guys to the second lamp and only one will follow.

I've just been running everywhere in that area and picking up items, learning routes, and activating shortcuts. I made it to the boss all the way from the first lantern without fighting anyone. If I die picking up it's no bother because I don't lose the item. Eventually I got sick of the

because they drop

blood stone chunks

 

[EloquentM]

Helpful advice for fighting hunters: when in doubt of your dodging abilities parry. Parry system are hunters worst nightmares (hehe). Oh, be careful not to get parried yourself as well.

 

[Putty]

Well, I've been playing for a few hours. I've been holding back going for the cleric boss until I'd levelled up a few times and upgraded my weaponry.....I've got 5 molotovs and around 8 blood thingy things......is there a quick way to get to him? Also, in an earlier run I was doing some agro in the sewers where I've seen some attire, should I grab this attire before having a crack at the cleric boss man woman thing?

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

All optional bosses dead, just need to earn the trophies from the chalice dungeon, find a blood gem, all the hunter's tool and

[PigzFly]

Going strong with a third OT already, outstanding.

My morale has dropped severely. I took the day off to get some quality time with the game. Played for about 10 hours, got from level 33 to 52, tied up a bunch of loose ends, and killed the

. However, 2 minutes before I was about to finish up for the day the power goes out and I come back to this:

All that progress from today, lost. It's incredibly depressing to say the least. Waste of a day off. Ugh.

I copied the corrupt save data on to a USB before replacing it with the cloud save from yesterday, so if anyone knows of a way to fix corrupt save data I would love to know :'(

Did you open the gate at the Central Yharnam lamp? If so, that's the fastest way to CB.

As for favorite boss,

Amygdala was so for me intense throughout. Reminded me of my struggles against Artorias.

 

[Markitron]

I'm a newcomer to the series, and this game frustrated the hell out of me over the weekend. Yet I can't stop thinking about what might be down that alley that I ignored whilst on my way to old Yharnam.

It's gotten to me.

Just

counter from the get go, and never do damage to him unless it's counter and critical stab thing. Doing it this way prevents phase two. (Atleast for me it did)

Edit: Also,

Spoiler

shoot just before he's about to swing his sword at you to counter effectively. Too soon and he won't go down,, too late and he will go down, but still hit you

 

[anddo0]

How much did you upgrade your main weapon?

Axe and Cleaver are at +6 and the Cane is at +4. I have Kirkhammer at +3, but it's too slow for my taste.

If you can make it to the

bridge then just sprint past the 2 wolves and take a left straight after. There's a guy standing at the top of a some stairs stairs. Go down these and enter a hours with 4 normal enemies to kill. Go downstairs and exit out of the door ahead of you. Run up the stairs outside to unlock the gates at the top. That'll take you to the central Yharnam lamp. It's then just a straight run from there back through the house to the boss bridge.

Here's a video from the bridge https://youtu.be/33YxkTFy7Dw?t=2m7s

[Afrodium]

lol, perfect

This game gets fucking impossible after Rom.

Spoiler

Like how is it even possible to beat those 3 hunters in the unseen village?

Ambush is effective

Also, they don't respawn so you can just focus on fighting one, kill him, probably die, and then go back to a slightly easier battle, do it again and come back to an even easier battle.

 

[Mogwai]

Axe and Cleaver are at +6 and the Cane is at +4. I have Kirkhammer at +3, but it's too slow for my taste.

+6 is as good as it gets. I used a +6 axe for Byrgenwerth. The enemies definitely seem to have a bit more health at that point.

Does upgrading the blunderbuss improve the window for stunning enemies at all, or is it a meaningless damage boost?
