I found for the Keeper in the Defiled chalice that if I just went hard with the beast claws, she didn't seem to be able to break out of it to hit me, I just had to make sure to get the hell out when my stamina was gone.

Defiled Carbon Dog though, I don't know, that's some poo poo. I need to get better at the hit and run on him, I just can't reliably do it enough to live through that

man she is really loving hard when she can oneshot you and has 50 million hp. im stuck. thats it. i cant proceed in these chalice dungeons anymore

she can be a pain but she can be cheesed pretty easily. If you get one parry off on her, all you need to do is walk up to her as she's getting up, hit hit parry. She will always do an unstaggerable backstep + swing after getting hit twice, which is easily parried. Just repeat this process and you can prevent her from getting a single hit off

actually, i found out about glyph chalice dungeons and now im just doing that lmao. ill come back to that later. i dont deal half the loving damage that dude dealt in the video and its because ive had horrible luck with blood gems, im still walking around with level 3-4 cursed bloodgems

the great iz chalice you get from daughter of cosmos is incredible because it's a ~depth 5~ chalice but it's full of the most basic enemies that give you like 10k souls each and drop high level bloodgems and the minibosses are just brainsuckers. the first boss is another brainsucker and the second boss is celestial emissary. i think the third will be another daughter of cosmos which is also easy as hell

the bloodletting beast couldnt hit me once and neither can big fire dog, the big dudes are all really easy for me but holy poo poo gently caress flamelurker v.2, that abhorrent beast thing, gently caress that. its hitboxes are wonky and it does this bullshit sideswipe when he's supposed to open gently caress. took me like 12 tries

heres the strategy - shoot it from just outside of its reach, and then shoot it again straight away. almost all of the time it does 2 counter hits and youll parry one of them/.

yeah it's kind of a bummer. I think the only thing that ds2 did better than ds1 was to make NG+ feel like almost a new experience, especially when they moved a boss completely out of its original arena. Moments like that were cool but I also understand just making NG+ the same design but harder.

I think the stupidest a boss made me feel was when I fought a chalice Brainsucker [1st isz boss?] And he priority grabbed or stun magic'd me literally about 15 times in a row before I changed tactics, and it didn't ever do any threatening damage but all the animations took like 6 minutes

The spider boss ambushes you in the area with the tents and it scared the poo poo out of me.

oooooo poo poo i remember that now. you could get a few hits in if uyo were sneaky and when you find it again in the actual arena the damage you did to it during the ambush would still be done

Yah. It was a cool mechanic and it made me think how could it would be to have a monster hunter style optional boss in a souls game that runs around the world and you keep bumping into it in new places.

There were numerous bosses in what I've played of bloodborne that made me think "why can't I climb on this thing and stab its face"

it sounded like that was the original idea behind the pursuer. you can kinda see it in how they added in like a dozen extra pursuer fights in scholar of the first sin. instead though its just that, a bunch of pursuers you kill instead of just the one and fighting him around the world
