Patch 1.03 incoming, by the end of the month.




How about tweaking certain features after 1.03? Please, for the love of all Great Ones, make co-op more accessible.

Blood Chunks are available in quite a significant quantity in Lecture building, Nightmare of Mensis + Frontier and Yahargul. You'll get enough to +9 at least 2 or 3 weapons. Chalice Dungeons only give you Blood Chunks on those that has depth 5, once you reach depth 3 at least on them.

^This.

I've tried it with such a low Bloodtinge stat and yet it deals massive amount of damage! Those with pure Bloodtinge build can actually 1-shot kill many of the bosses in the game.

I beat the witch the first time all thanks to good audio cues in this game. Really, I was using my speakers to hear where she would spawn next (she always has a mist first before appearing, the mist is the cue!) and always got to her before she escapes.

She must not have had her period for a veeeeryyyyy long time, you know...

Forbidden forest right up to Byrgenwerth. Each run should net you about 60k-70k souls (with no +exp runes and depending whether you visceral to kill enemies or not), it's also easy and takes about 15 minutes.

Fire.

Don't bother with the items, they're garbage. But honestly speaking, if you're having trouble with the bloodsucking spiders, then I don't see how you'd have much of a chance against Martyr Logarious.

Taking my time to plat the game. Going through the dungeons isn't really that difficult, honestly I found NG+ Yahargul to be about equal to Depth 5 dungeons. But what I find tedious is to farm some of the ritual items... ugh.

Only thing to keep in mind is to keep within melee range distance. Once he starts his stupid arcane attacks, he becomes extremely annoying.

I remember a bug with Logarious that pissed me off so much that I nearly tossed the controller.

His phase 2 where he thrust his sword into the ground. There was once during my fight with him that he somehow thrusted it at one of the beams on the roof, ended up the sword got stuck there and I CANNOT attack the sword because it was under the beam! So he has infinite flying swords + gay arcane dmg + that stupid smirk from his attacks! Bloody hell.

Yeah, I think the best boss fights in the game were Father Gascoigne, Cleric Beast and Djura. They're not the toughest bosses, but there was a sense of intensity when fighting them, something which the other bosses didn't quite achieve.

In his first phase, he can be countered and you can use visceral attacks on him. This is why I said to keep within his melee range so that you can start a loop to counter-visceral him until he hits 40% or so HP. After that, due to the random nature of his AI, he can either fly across the area and start his phase 2 power up or continue to be stuck in the counter-visceral loop.

One other thing, if he starts his phase 2 power up, you can backstabbing him (provided you are quick enough) and visceral him. This will stop his immunity to counters and blood attacks, even though he will have his new moves. But at least you can counter him.

He's actually one of the easiest boss to counter too, just look for his attack motion where his scythe reach the tip of his swing. Once you do it a few times, you'll get the hang of it.

Alright, next they need to improve on the framepacing. The game needs to be a solid 30fps, no stuttering, no skipped frames. Not hard to do as there are only a few areas in the game that suffers from erratic framepacing issues.

Starting a new character will basically just reset the game from 0 for your new character. All the bosses will drop their initial loot from NG.

If you go into NG+, then that's a different story.

Wait what?

I have a second character and all the bosses are there, from Cleric Beast being the first down all the way to Mergo's Wet Nurse. What door are you talking about is open? There are plenty of doors in the game.

Oh wow, looks like they nerf'd the cannon. It requires 12 QS now instead of 10. So you pretty much only have ONE shot during boss fights unless you sacrifice health for extra QS or equip the formless oedon rune.

Dang.

What the heck? That's damn weird. Did you try dying then respawning to see if the bosses are there?

This mini-tourney shows how it easy it is to defeat some of the toughest NPC hunters in the game -




Note: The Gascoigne trick where he gets stuck in the stairs don't work anymore as the new patch has made him actually away from the stairs and come after you.

Uhm... not sure what's there to explain? Beat a chalice dungeon, get the next chalice from the last boss in the previous dungeon, farm the materials for the new chalice, open up the new dungeon, rinse and repeat.

They're basically just dungeons to get better loot. While there are some very discrete lore in them, they actually don't mean much.

Looks like FS has increased the level cap to summon friends for co-op from 10 to 20.

I cannot absolutely confirm this yet, but I've seen quite a few reports from other forums that says so. Will try tonight.
