I did the first platinum and dlc with my one character pretty much mainlining the saw, lhb then burial blade the whole time. I leveled a chikage to +10 but ended up beating Laurence and kos with the burial blade cause I know it so well. Lv 196 with skill and blood at 50 and everything else at least 30. Ng++

Hey guys. Im at Cathedral Ward right now, just beat the Blood Starved Beast. When's the next checkpoint after this falling section? Having to do this every time and then dying to the sack dude kinda sucks..... there didnt look like thwre was a path in the other two doors, this bottom area is the only new bit that's open, aside from the prison thing that I dont have a hope at beating right now.

What gate? Theres like 10 different gates that Ive found I cant keep track of them.

if you beat the blood starved beast, go to the cathedral ward lamp. looking straight ahead, there's a new path to the right. it'll take you to an elevator and you can explore that area. you might need to do some platforming and drop down through some stuff.

The big gate right up the big stairwell from oedon chaoel thay says gives u a message about needing an item or something, idk its prettu self explanatory. Or u can do the droppong down rafters section and skip buyimg the item. Once all the shortcuts are open the run from catjedral ward chapel lamp to the boss is like 20 seconds

I finally got plat. All I had left after playing the game back in March/April was getting the two non-umbilical endings, which I just did in the last couple days. First game I actually liked enough to bother getting every trophy for :toot:

Now to keep playing a whole lot

I went up the big staircase out the main entrence and tried to use the emblem on the massive gate... Do u gotta activate it from ur inventory or something? It's not working...

E: Nevermind, I found it. It was through the other door. drat there's a lot of gates in this game.

There's at least 3 gates in Cathedral Ward.

One thing I've never figured out is how to open the door in Cathedral Ward past the monocular area in the room with a bunch of pots and a blood gem inside a treasure chest. What is even through that door?

i think someone figured out it's just the other side of the Cleric Beast's boss arena? might be thinking of something else.

I believe it was a planned shortcut at some point that was cut or something. But yeah, geometry wise the bridge you can see from where the monocle is is the cleric beast bridge.

its a bit dangerous to do on the little platforms, but its worth noting that you always take less fall damage if you hit roll as soon as you land

Unexpected Raw Anime

Playing in beast mode makes me really hope there's some kind of item/gloves in dark souls 3 that lets me play as a monk or w/e. I'm imagining a bloodborne set that fights kinda like beast claws but when you transform it switches to roundhouse kicks or something

the meteors are easy to avoid .. the slow mo call beyond and big hadokens are probably the bigger danger

one of marias moves in her bloody sword phase is bugged so beware if youre planning to parry her. basically its the one that does fire damage, if u parry it u still get hit with the fire.
