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

I'll try this on my next go around but I just want to say I think this boss is garbage

rom is a cool boss in the story

fighting it in a cramped room in the chalice dungeon is basically the worst thing in the game though

in the very first root chalice i made (sz/alien chalice) i found a lost ludwig's sword in the first bonus room, highest tier eye rune, uncanny sawblade, and a ton of curse babies. that loving ruled

on the downside there were like loving four NPC hunters per floor. one in particular was a nightmare, had an evelyn+threaded cane and would always fire at the right time, if it got me with a visceral it was just an instadeath

That's why this game is so freaking good. If a boss is destroying you, it's because you HAVE to change your tactics. The game forces you to adapt or die.

I think I'm making the one reborn way harder than it is. Take care of the chime ladies first, but I'm putting out too little damage and his drop some guts on you attack gets me every time. I've had it to where the magic red circle appears right on me and kills me

use a big weapon like kirkhammer or ludwigs in 2h mode .. they stun him more and he falls over a lot for like 10 seconds at a time. you can hit the little guy that represents its head for a lot of damage when he does it too

i just kill the bell ladies and go ham on the little tumor thing that the legs stick out of or w/e. i think its his weak spot or something because it staggers him real easy and you can literally just r1 until he dies. +10 blade of mercy + beast blood pellets kills him in like 20 seconds

if you keep an eye out for the bodies hit the floor attack TOR is real easy. you just hit R1 and if he ever lands a blow on you you just shoot up with blood vials

i appreciated the tower knight throwback with the bell ladies tho

Okay. My ludwigs is only +5 at the moment so maybe that's why it's not doing so hot on T1R. I'm going to grind blood echoes for a bit here. I think I'm under leveled. This game doesn't have the same enemies stop re spawning thing like dark souls 2 right?
The corpse out of the chest monsters are way way too strong

if you have a heavy weapon like ludwigs or the hammer they should be no problem since you can hitstun them to death. but yeah, by the time you get to t1r you should have your main wep at +7

i just had my first invasion ever in NG+ nightmare frontier. dude found me in a small cave with my back against a wall and he had the high ground, couldve easily murdered me. instead he waved, and jogged out to the bridge. he did a duel bow, and on the very first move i shot him and did a visceral. he didn't heal because he was an honorable bro, and eventually he caught up with me and killed me, then bowed again

that was a neat experience

the corpse chest monsters are called cramped caskets which is FTW. but they're extremely poweful and murder you so I skip them. you should have a plus 8 or 9 weapon at that point and aso no enemies don't stop respawning

apropos to nothing
Sep 5, 2003
the caskets are cool and also tough as hell but you can pretty much run past all the enemies in that area and not miss out on too much, especially if you already went through yahargul prior to rom

I need to look around more in this game. Wait thinking back a found a way initially that didn't put me in aggro of the corpse boxes. I just forgot it when I rushed the middle path as I had a twenty thousand blood echo pool in T1R's room. I think I've lost 50,000 blood echoes to this area

it's probably my fav shortcut in the game i can think of off top. it's pretty low key so discovering it for the first time and knowing I would never have to deal with the casket monsters ever again if i didn't want to made me feel like a BAMF

u can put fire gems in the saw cleaver since it gets 20% extra dmg to beasts and beasts r weak to fire. although , IDK if 27% physical gems are better.

u should use the blood chunks to make it a +8. and those enemies aer supposed to be insanely strong... theres a few ways to avoid having to fight them

the cramped caskets are weak to elemental damage, but theyre still a pain in the rear end. its cool when they drop a blood gem tho
