thank you to whoever said blades of mercy get good at +6 because wow you were right. this run is going great now, I've just started cainhurst and I always do cainhurst the moment forbidden woods opens up because I need that Deep Respect gesture so bad on all my characters. it's the best.

what are the other good skill weapons besides the whip?

i beat the big hotdog on my new guy pretty quickly this time, only like 8 or so. having decent damage on my gun helped a lot, because i was able to pump shots into him when he was doing the flame bite (i think it was hitting counter damage too). that helped me get the stagger a lot quicker. i finished it out by getting lucky with a stagger as he was getting into his really hard phase, and also lucked out by not getting hit by any surprised flame charges.

defiled amy went down pretty quick. maybe 6 tries? once again, having decent damage on my gun really helped

i think you could conceivably stay mid-range and bait his tantrums and stay right under him and then hit his noggin

If you wail on his crotch with Ludwigs he basically stays staggered through all of his hard phase

Ive been struggling not to kill the regular story Amygdala, since there's so few areas in the game with built-in bell ringers. I do sort of want that ailing loran chalice tho..

the first area of the dlc is the hottest dlc hotspot imo, since ringing the red bell summons a maiden if u have Laurence activated.....u will get tons of hits but the scenery sucks

getting invaded in the fishing hamlet is a fuckin nightmare. theres so many different enemies everywhere that you can get backed up into if you don't watch yourself. it's really intense, if you can hndle it
