i didn't hate the fight but thought it was insanely trivial. especially once you realise the beast roar thing interrupts him in the second phase so you just beat him to death while he does nothing.

there are fewer and they come later in the game than spells but it's feasible, because you can get arcane scaling weapons to bolster your arsenal

is there an in-lore reason for why so many hunters attack you on sight? like is it a father gascoigne thing where they just went insane or are most hunters just assholes?

i completely understand that, i was just referring to the whole atmosphere of the fight. Chasing a madman around a fog-laden library in a nightmare while he hoots and hollers about eyes in his brain was very spooky and cool, to me

i haven't gotten time to sit down and play this for hours yet ;_; but i'm loving every minute of it. i try out new weapons by running the central yarnham > bridge lamps, and each time i do it (even fighting early level mobs) it's still incredibly fun

also on my second run through he had a totally different pattern outside of the fights, so that's either randomized or I got hit with the memory bug in my first file

He runs directly away from you so its actually possible to cheese by running him in a loop and smacking him once each time

This is what happened this time. In my first game no matter what direction I came from he made an immediate beeline for the arena and ran there without stopping

wheel is the only weapon in the game that gets to S rank STR scaling, if you're looking for biggest bang for your buck.

has anyone beat all the chalice dungeons yet. is it worth going through all of them. as in , is tere even a single thing in the later ones that i wont see in the main game, like a hidden superboss, or a chalice dungeon only weapon or something. i got an "uncanny saw cleaver" from one of my root chalices but the only thing different is the gem slots

Yes, and there is a super boss at the end. I haven't done all of it (I got a little bored after 3 of them) but I'm going to start doing all that soon because the last boss has a trophy for beating it

If you copy your save file to a USB stick before the final boss fight, you can beat the game, then copy your save over and then redo it twice to get all 3 trophies.
