How scarce are blood shards? Am I making a mistake by just upgrading my cane as much as possible?

theres about 50 per playthrough so you can upgrade 3 weapons to +9, so u can basically upgrade whatever you want.

Pthumerian Descendant was such a fun fight

i'm going to try that chalice dungeon that gulagdolls posted now

edit: also, out of curiosity, looking at the strategy for descendant on the wiki is ridiculous. i just side dodged him. if he whiffs an attack on you with you behind him he'll stagger for a moment, leading to an open shot. i just did that a few times and cannonned him when he went for his charge-up. pretty easy once you get the timing down, and without cheesing him using the edge of the arena, but w/e

yea. hit her in the chest and she'll headbutt the ground and will hardly ever charge. i posted like 2 videos of me pwning her in this thread so you can watch what i did. basically the idea is to stay right next to her ... it might be tempting to move back to dodge her attacks more easily, but that means shell probably charge, and in her 2nd phase she'll probably use the arcane magic attack.

it's probably just easier to kill npc hunters straight forward rather than trying to farm poison gems in chalice dungeons

inri posted his ridiculously fast version already so probably do that but what i did was hang out in front of her (close because otherwise she charges), wait for the headslam, then hit her head with a charged kirkhammer hit. slap her a few times in between doing that twice and she'll stagger at a bit above half, then take your visceral. this gets you to phase 2 pretty reliably from which you can to some degree do similar things but she's way more aggressive so probably just dodge a lot and use the cannon (aim for the head)

if youre killing npc hunters and dont wanna fight them u can try poison knives. personally i like all of the npc hunter fights so i recommend fighting them straight up

i'm pretty sure he's supposed to run in the opposite direction you are coming from, although sometimes he doesn't for some reason

micolash was 10 minutes of me walking around picking up items/runes and killing mobs normally while he breathed really heavily in me and Kosm's ears and then 4 seconds of chopping him to bits at the last room.

A Mensis Cage is basically the fedora of Yharnam

whoever said that about micolash running opposite your position was exactly right. once i knew that it was simple to trick him into running into the antechamber. then it was a matter of tricking him into using the auger attack, sidestepping, and killing him
