Same. About to do a chikage build for a new char. What's a good weapon to use until I can get to cainhurst?

I went with the saw spear the last time I built toward a chikage, but the cane whip is awesome if you havent already used it a bunch

yyah i'm using the rifle spear but the canes fine. ig uess you could also do the blades of mercy if youw ant to kill eileen but that sounds like a huge pain in the rear end that early lol

going for the chikage is awesome because it inevitably means youre fighting Logarius at a low level and getting in the zone

Killing Maria ASAP either means cheesing her or playing like an absolute savant and chipping away at her like 3000 health when even your parries do like 200 damage. I've done it with poison knives and it's not very fun but boy is it worth it for those sweet blades. The worse part is that you then have to grind a bunch of blood echoes to buy them

Ive been doing a rifle spear playthrough this week since Ive been writing it off for so long, and it's totally an okay weapon. pvp fights are challenging with it, though the transform attack is good for surprise viscerals. I'm going to retire it once I can get the church pick, to stick with the spear theme, but it's pretty cool

I discovered u can get 2 of the 10% rally runes so I'm using 2 of those and the 20% rally rune and the burial blade which has the highest rally i think, so I'm rallying a lot this run and I never need to use blood vials almost ever.

I should have mentioned that I preordered DS3 for the PC, but I still wanted to play BB so I got a PS4.

I think I'm going to take off work the rest of spring. maybe summer too. in fact I'll just quit

This sounds extremely Wicked. A great way to squeeze life outta the rally system that high into the ng cycles.

After I finish this cycle with beast claws I'm gonna run the church pick.

it's a solid weapon solely on the grounds of the transformed charge r2

the saw spear was good enough up through +6 to handle logarius and get the chikage. loggy is best fought with something quick, and the saw spear untransformed is basically the cleaver, which is maybe the best quick 1hander in the game.

I think I'm going with the saw spear. I don't like that the cane whip doesn't have a charge up r2 or an l2 attack when transformed. It was fun to mess around with in central yarnham though, whipping 5 dudes at once like a slave driver.

I agree that it looks like a horrible mess, but when the moon shits out a Lovecraftian monster you think its going to be a little harder to beat. I at least I did.

Well when you literally fight the moon as the last boss he's pretty easy too

The only tricky thing is he has that attack that is impossible to block or dodge that takes you to 1 HP and if you're not ready for it you might react badly to it

Yup! She drops the crow hunter badge, just dont gently caress up and get killed by henryk before you can pick it up

You can get it even earlier than that, I've seen a guy get it literally 4 minutes after starting the game cause he just runs up on her from her starting point, viscerals her like twice to aggro then kites her off the ledge into the rat sewers and she fuckin dies.

When Eileen kills you she says something about the doll, implying that she has already been through the whole process but I guess she just let German kill her
