Why does my frenzy just spike up the second I see a brain lady. I don't even have time for a sedative

The more insight you have the more vulnerable you are to frenzy, and by the time you first run into them you likely have a lot on you

Yeah I really need to make a clean up run of runes and stuff. Like I don't have any qs bullet runes. Are there any?

Yeah there's a few. Most you can get is +4 unless there's a rune I missed in the DLC

Oops there's a +5 in a chalice dungeon as well

Going from being a psychopath berserker in BB NG+ to a sloth-like derp noob at the beginning of DS2 is pretty awesome, lol. I'm getting killed by hollows and crap all over again because I'm crazy aggressive now

In addition to the chunks in frontier, there are some excellent runes down in the green stuff, iirc

Try just wedging yourself between her back tails. I summoned that Old Hunter npc to keep her distracted while I would run around to her back. She'll sometimes fly up and this will slightly damage you but it's easy to recover. Just have to watch out for her second stage homing missile attack

I tried to start a new dark souls game last night and got wrecked in the burg. Not having rally and sidestep is very painfuk

There's a sweet spot on the outside left side of her trial where she can't hit you. Just be careful in phase 2 because the sky lasers will own you if you don't keep her stagger

Another way to deal with wintern lanterns is to stagger them and time the vis so you're in the attack animation when your frenzy tops off so it does 0 damage to you while you're invincible. Getting the timing right is probably more trouble than it's worth though

I used to be a big proponent of the "parry brain ladies all day" strategy, but I discovered that it's pretty goddamn wonky. Many times you'll parry their grab successfully (the thud sound and everything), but they'll ignore the parry and still grab you. It's doable, just tricky with a hint of bullshit.

It's probably better just to equip as much frenzy defense as you can and just murder them the old fashioned way and then take a sedative once they're dead. Or you could live dangerously and just eat the frenzy damage and heal afterwards assuming you don't get frenzied twice.

I beat Old Hunters and then the main game today. Pretty good loving game overall. Only thing I think I missed were those lovely Chalice Dungeons and I don't have the patience to get down in them to kill Queen Yharnam.

Thats my favorite part of the game so far and Im playing one of them right now. The short ritual chalice is really good

The chalices would be a shitload better if there were more variety in the environments and layouts.

i would pay for an art pass dlc that did nothing but give each chalice type a unique appearance, even if none of the geometry was changed in any way

here's a hot ds2 tip. all the mobs do the same 3 hit combo over and over and over and over. thanks to the scholar of the first sin edition, every room is full of them.

i think it's like ailing loran layer 3 there's 2 bell women in a big ool hallway directly accross from where u start and it's infuriating because if u don't beeline toward them you'll get swarmed by 20 honing spiders in 10 seconds lol

I feel really sad for the guy in the church who wants to rescue everybody. Like, 4/5 of the people you can rescue are terrible assholes and the only nice one gets her mind destroyed by an alien rapist yet he still wants to see them all survive this crazy poo poo.
