getting used to the damage all the bosses do in ng+ is hard... with 15 vit
since i'm making mad bank i just die until i get the dodge pattern down, which is usually something stupid and easy to keep going. example, for abhorrent beast boss in chalice dungeons (which is not scaled to ng level which owns kind of): walk up, dodge left, attack and immediately backstep. pattern repeats until fight is over.

Go to the cursed pthumerian defilement and get used to doing it with 7 vit.

i only have shake off cape... hoping to get to dust off cape in an hour or two... im skipping all the optional bosses because ng+ is hard

fun fact: you don't have to fight cleric beast in ng+, you can buy the key since you already have the hunter badge it gives you
there are two cape emotes??

as long as they have scaling in skill, yes. probably won't be useful for them though

I read somewhere the soft-cap was 25 for STR so I didn't know if going past 30 was better or if putting some into Skill was instead. I tend to prefer the Saw Blade and Holy Blade most of the time, but I haven't messed around with the other skill weapons tbh.
just talk to the doll and see how your weapon damage changes if you put points into str/skill. on a good scaling weapon you'll still get some benefit from going over the soft cap but therll be diminishing returns

25 is the softcap for strength but you should pump it up to 30 so you can blow poo poo up with a cannon

I beat the vicar on my second try, I was very surprised.

I thought I would just go in and learn the attack patterns cause I didn't have any healing items but I guess beating Paarl made me better at knowing when to dodge cause I hit her a bunch.

VICTORY.

someone was probably watching a potato-quality stream of the game on Twitch, saw the item for Djura's stuff and probably saw "Gyula" instead of Djura

Finish the first non-random Chalice Dungeon, kill the Fire-Dog at the end.
Play the 2nd CD, fight down to the 3rd level. Prepare myself to face a new and unknown boss that might bite my head off or something
It's Fire-Dog. :mrwhite:

The 1st randomly generated CD I did had the exact same bosses as the very first one except the Undead Giant had a cannon for an arm

edit: ^^ Yeah. I just got bad luck on the boss generation

I fought Blood Starved Beast in a giant arena with poison water all over it in one of the root dungeons, still went down like a chump. The deeper dungeons get hard quick though, fighting Rom again in a tiny rear end room is much more challenging, also he has way more health. I got some pretty good gems and alt versions of some weapons in the deeper dungeons though so it's worth it.

Yeah they're like the Diablo 3 rifts. It's a very well done feature and I'm glad more games made use of it.
