for some fcking reason i kept trying to dodge away from blood-starved beast so i could pop antidote and chug a potion , even though i knew that dodging into it very easily avoided every attack and combo it would try

and then i was getting owned

the worst souls feel ever is seeing that a boss has one hit left and mindlessly jamming on attack to just finish the fight and misjudging their attack animation and dying.

Let me take you for a ride.
Yep. I also get into panic mode and start backing away from bosses to heal, which usually gets me killed more often than not. Finally beat Vicar last night, after a billion tries, the solution was to use fire and hit her a lot and then stab my hand into her face. I also made more progress in the chalice dungeon, made it to the watchdog, but my lack of blood vials kinda hampered me, so I just went to Hemwick.

I just beat blood-starved beast and I have no idea what chalices are/how they work.

Fill them with certain mats at the empty tombstones in the Hunter's Dream to access chalice dungeons.

the first time i fought the cleric beast I had that happen, except the attack was the grab/multislam thing that i had never seen before

im still getting reused to souls gameplay so it took me like 8 tries to take them down after that

i got really excited when The One Reborn arrived cause at first i thought the moon was going to be the boss and fighting the moon would make me laugh really hard. instead it was a horrible body monster and it was still cool. it looks like if someone decided to make a horror version of when a kid starts putting all of his lego heads and poo poo together

i kept doing things vs blood starved that weren't waiting for attacks that could be parried and most of those things were a bad idea

the only vendor is just an object you interact with and if you put the controller down and it accidentally makes you shoot the doll then you can still level up from her lifeless body

There aren't any enemies in the Hunters Dream area so I guess it's "easy" if you run around swinging your weapon around when there's nothing around.

i dropped my controller while i was going up to talk to her, and accidentally whacked her but she seemed chill about it

I need to go check out a lot of the doors that previously just said "Closed" and see if they opened. I also wish I could get blood transfusions from the women I saved but they're freaking out and bad.

Some areas have ones that are massive and also attack you if you get near them, which drop more/better shards... i believe in u
