wait you can parry the Blood Starved Beast? I just kinda stayed behind it and slashed it until it died.

Also checking out the Healing Church Workshop, there's something making a bunch of noise at the bottom but I cant see it and I'm not sure if I can survive the fall to the bottom.

Yeah his standard swipe attack from the left side you can shoot down and do the big damage riposte until about half health, when he starts putting poison on anything.

Vicar and Paarl are much harder bosses that I have to train for now, but I will triumph.

I ran my head against the wall against vicar like 6 times before giving up and going exploring in the Charnal House Lane or w/e, ended up fighting the witches and when I came back I beat her on the first try. She seems really easy to just dodge towards her and to the side since you get so much invincibility from dodging. Then again, she didn't last long enough to heal so I maybe just got lucky. Having a +6 weapon by then probably didn't hurt. Shadow of Yarnham boss is hella tight, almost beat it the first try then got owned the next 2 times before going to bed. Can't wait to try again.

Im in the same boat, got a lucky pattern on Vicar so she didnt hurt me too bad, threw a bunch of those Numbing Mists at her too to stop her regeneration. Paarl beat me down hard though, gonna save up for Ludwig's sword and see how that works.

Yeah. I figured it was in that area because of the text in the item description but I couldn't find anything. The only area I didn't recheck is right past the boss fight room

just backtrack from there, you walk through like a village or whatever and it triggers a cutscene

second playthrough maybe then. are there really good guns that go along with bloodtinge or does that just kinda hang out
guns and pure magic builds are both viable but you need to know what youre doing so it's best to leave it for a second playthrough

Got Ludwig's Blade and upgraded it to +5 and its wrecking everything wow. The L2 is really useful for stunning/instakilling single dudes. Sorry Saw Cleaver, you were a good friend for a long time but now its time to smash everything with a giant sword.

I'm trying to Platinum Dark Souls II because Bloodborne has not sated me.

Dark Souls II is loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong and tedious as poo poo.

after 15 or so hours I'm up to the castle and in the underground area. I just crushed the mirror knight's face in. And I'm going to need to go back to the zombie chruch fight on ++ difficulty because the summon dude was not with me the first time.

Yeah you can skip ahead to winter's shrine if you have enough souls, but Great Sword of the moonlight and that dragoon lady's achievements are two big pains in the rear end.

I also need all the gestures and all the covenants. I've only died like 44 times at this point.

bloodborne is gonna be a crazy easy plat, i have like 5 trophies left and the only hard one will be the chalice one

Let me take you for a ride.
Going Arcane was a good idea, the Tonritus kicks rear end, as does having faster dodges. Also I beat Amygdala on my first try, I dont know if there are any more cool items in that area, but gently caress poison swamps.
