the fireball werewolf guy. he's easy to parry to death but I was losing concentration for it halfway through because it took a good while

if u shoot him with a shotgun type weapon it stuns him out of using fire attacks. no parry necessary. and his melee stuff isnt so bad, hes kinda slow, and small, and u can mash him down with a heavy weap.

i've done shadows of yharnham by myself 3 times and gotten the last one to a single hit each time. i think i'm making the skeleton lords mistake, and triggering the final form of two of them at the same time, which is too much to deal with, and i should make a plan and stick to it to finish each on sequentially.

heres my cool strat that i might record if i start a new run to kill ebrietas: kill the katana guy first, then the mage guy, then if you kill the candle guy last he dodges right every time you hit him, so u can just run in a circle mashing r1 until he dies and he cant do anything.

I think the phased on them may be time based? I've had it so two of the guys enter the phase even though one is at full health

i think its total health of all 3 bosses based... so its actually a bad idea to try and damage them evenly.

blood borne seems pretty easy to plat? I think you only have to do like six chalice dungeons if you have good luck (or figure out a guide or something)

its not easy to plat because one of the required chalice dungeons is the defiled chalice which halves your HP and has extremely difficult bosses

here i uploaded a video of me beating them on the character i used to beat ebrietas (mostly cos i wanted to try uploading a video lol):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc_OIJiWXBI

i can kill them without using a vial so this is really messy but whatever. also, i accidentally started murking the candle guy before the mage before i remembered half way through killing him that i wanted to show off what its like killing him last instead of second. anyway, you can see at the end how the candle guy dodges to your right every time you hit him... theres a rhythm to making him do it but its easy enough.

YIKES Stay Gooned posted:

the trick to rom is to trigger the same glitch I came across where when I jumped down all of the baby spiders instantly spawned and didn't use any attacks so I cleared all of them out before initiating the fight. this was on my second playthrough and after the patch that fixed the memory overflow bug so idk what happened there but it was cool.

its always like that

tbh i've disliked or hated all of the hunter fights i've done so far. they usually just seem like "find the way to cheese the ai" or "lovely battle of attrition". the souls npc fights always felt a lot more like you were fighting a real-ish person.

i liked them all but i wish they didnt shoot so much... or they had to use blood bullets just like we do to get extra bullets.

i think it depends mostly on when you pvp. if your pvping at a low level the damage output is so low that healing can make it boring sometimes

do gems not make u do loads of damage no matter what lvl you are? like im only using 20% extra dmg gems i already had from playing through the game btu you can get way better ones than that.

they also said not that long ago that they would release psx emulation for ps4 at some point but haven't said anything since so


nice. is ng+ really hard enough that i should be demotivated from playing it, or should i suck it up and plat this game?

its not so bad ... bosses have a LOT of hp though so you have to be able to survive against them for longer than on ng.

I.N.R.I

the real difficulty is beating the yharnam queen which requries u to beat the defiled chalice first, which halves your hp and has really difficult bosses.

hubris.height posted:

does she power up from being ng+ or is that based on the kind of dungeon you create?

it doesnt matter if youre on ng or ng+, they dont get more difficult. i think theyre designed to be completed over the course of like 2 or 3 playthroughs. the higher the depth of the chalice, the harder it is. depth 5 chalices are probably harder than ng+, and the defiled chalice is freaking hard. two of the bosses in it took me 10+ tries each

Scrub-Niggurath posted:

Was one of them the watchdog? because that's what i'm banging up against right now

yea. my advice - hit it once or twice after it tries to bite you and then dodge cos it will probably charge. it doesnt seem to really charge unless you hit it. if your vitality is good then you can probably survive 1 of most of its other attacks. if it throws up lava, you got lucky. you can stun it by hitting it a bunch when it does that, but watch out cos it explodes when it gets up. u take extra damage when you get hit while dodging or attacking, so bear that in mind, its important when u have less hp.

Hot drat, what was your gem setup for your sword?

I think I'm using a 20%, 21%, and a 19% physical gem. one of thems cursed and has like 3% extra stamina costs too. the 20% and 21% were random drops i got from chalice dungeons while getting plat, and the 19% probably came from the brain guys in mensis.
