If you can get by the defiled chalice dungeon, you can do anything.

it really sucks that a lot of people prolly miss out on the chalice bosses and just play through the story. the chalices had some of the most fun and challenging bosses in the game

i didn't do any chalice poo poo on my first play through. it was cool making a new character and having a shitload of new content to do even after i beat the game

beggar apparently disappears once you get the blood moon :(

i feel like all the giant bosses (blood letting beast, paarl, etc.) are kind of weak because they have some extremely questionable hitboxes and they pull all sorts of bullshit if you get under them. if you get into a sweetspot with ebrietas where her attacks cant hit you at all she will straight up just leap into the air with no warning and it could deal a minor amount of damage or it could completely loving crush you

I'm pretty sure the stun is an aoe she does around herself. Basically just hit her a couple times then back off, I remember having to dart in and out while fighting her never doing more than a few hits at a time

yeah you dont have to do any of it. you should do it cause theres a boss and some cool weapons and armor and secrets and stuff but if you want to beat the game as fast as possible its just a dead end ultimately

that's fine but now I'm confused as to where I need to go to progress. I'm at martyr's boss gate now and I've co-oped a bunch on him just to try to learn his moves.

The last two I've beaten were vicar Amelia and Paarl. Then I learned cainhurst is really cool so I went for that.

i dont think theres anything questionable about their hitboxes. paarl does splash damage and most of them stun you for a second and do a tiny amount of damage if they jump into you. theres also a counter hit mechanic in which u take 1.5x damage if youre attacked while youre in the middle of dodging or attacking yourself

ok after amelia theres a bunch of optional stuff you can do like cainhurst or the witches or the school of mensis, and you should do all those, but if you wanna progress the story go back to the door that asks you for the password in the chapel area that you could do nothing with before because now you have the password and it will open for you.

i was stuck at this part too. no loving indication youre supposed to head back there. once youre actually at the forest theres no more fuckery like that though

yeah it sucks for the big fights because the rolls dont give you as many i. frames as the sidesteps, and locking onto paarl and such is loving bad. so if you mess up a roll you take a huge chunk of damage

also all of them have all sorts of side swipes that are meant to counter the player going under the boss and lol they hit loving behind them with those sometimes and it's annoying as hell. amygdala is a really good boss fight though, staying in front of it and locking on actually works, it just feels terrible with every other giant dude

I got a new fight stick for ps4 and it has a cool option that turns the stick into either the left or right analog stick or d-pad by moving a switch around. i might boot up bloodborne today and see how far i can get using the stick.

rom gave me more trouble than every other boss combined. the secret is to just go apeshit and ignore the little spiders, if u play too defensively you will lose
