some people would tell you to stop at 100-120 bc of pvp but honestly in my experience you can just go as high as you want and still get invasions and coop and poo poo

This is the first char I beat Amelia first try. Blades of mercy are really strong, especially the dash + R1

the side dodge r1 is stupid good. you can pretty much kill anythuing using that attack alone bc of how safe it is

hello page 69,

to beat rom, my advice is to kill his spiderlings first, and dodge his moves. they're kinda predictable once you get an eye for them.

rom is female

I was thinking "oh so the first dude was basically manos and this guy is like gwyn" it's just the first 2 bosses. Made it to blood starved

blood starved beast is a boss that seems really hard at first but is actually the easiest boss in the game. just stay close and walk left when he attacks, u dont even have to roll

yeah it's kind of a bummer. I think the only thing that ds2 did better than ds1 was to make NG+ feel like almost a new experience, especially when they moved a boss completely out of its original arena. Moments like that were cool but I also understand just making NG+ the same design but harder.

what boss did they move out of its original arena

The spider boss ambushes you in the area with the tents and it scared the poo poo out of me.

oooooo poo poo i remember that now. you could get a few hits in if uyo were sneaky and when you find it again in the actual arena the damage you did to it during the ambush would still be done

i just kill the bell ladies and go ham on the little tumor thing that the legs stick out of or w/e. i think its his weak spot or something because it staggers him real easy and you can literally just r1 until he dies. +10 blade of mercy + beast blood pellets kills him in like 20 seconds

Okay. My ludwigs is only +5 at the moment so maybe that's why it's not doing so hot on T1R. I'm going to grind blood echoes for a bit here. I think I'm under leveled. This game doesn't have the same enemies stop re spawning thing like dark souls 2 right?
The corpse out of the chest monsters are way way too strong

the corpse chest monsters are called cramped caskets which is FTW. but they're extremely poweful and murder you so I skip them. you should have a plus 8 or 9 weapon at that point and aso no enemies don't stop respawning

it's probably my fav shortcut in the game i can think of off top. it's pretty low key so discovering it for the first time and knowing I would never have to deal with the casket monsters ever again if i didn't want to made me feel like a BAMF
