Mufumonk Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 2 more bosses down (Amygdala & Rom) and the difficulty seems to be ramping up a bit. Cainhurst Castle is brutal and the Bell Maidens in the Unseen Village make that place a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pick6 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Made my way to Hemwick Village. Going to try to take on the Hemwick Witch tonight. I haven't had a ton of time to play, but feel like I am moving at a good pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stugein Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 The lore in this game is pretty cool. If you really start to explore and read all the items descriptions it gets pretty in depth. I think there is actually a pretty good story here, but the game doesn't come out right and tell you.  This is every Souls game. You have to go looking for the story. It's a cool one once you put it all together, but it's up to you to do so. The game only feeds you snippets.  I've killed 3 bosses so far (CB, FG, and BSB) but I'm not in a terrible hurry. I'm just enjoying the hell out of this.  I cleared out the jail area and found a door at the end of it which I'm assuming is a boss door. I'll be tackling that after work tonight; that will be my boss #4.

Pick6 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Good luck, I have read the jail boss is a little hard. I am coming back to that area later. You can talk to the crying woman too, if you have the church attire.  What is everyone's progress so far? I have taken down the first three bosses. At Hemwick Witch now, but haven't had a chance to tackle that yet. I am trying to hit a lot of the optional areas as well as the main storyline.  Also, a tip for anyone having trouble with Blood-Starved Beast. Stand on the note outside the boss area that says ring for help. Alfred will come if you have talked to him. Makes the fight two-on-one. Also, use the Pungent Blood ****tail to distract and get up behind to deliver big swings to the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you leave the Cathedral Ward you should try to Hemwick Village and the Witch of Hemwick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stugein Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Before you leave the Cathedral Ward you should try to Hemwick Village and the Witch of Hemwick. I haven't found that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufumonk Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I haven't found that yet. Â Head to the right outside of the Cathedral Ward lamp post. Â Work your way up the stairs towards the Grand Cathedral (Vicar Amelia boss fight), where the 2 crucifix carrying Cathedral Guardians are. Â There is a path towards the left at the top of the stairs, right before the entrance to the boss fight. Â Follow that around to a cave. Â That leads to a path through a forest that will take you to Chemwick Charnel Lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stugein Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Well I found Forbidden Forest. Is there any special reason I'd want to go back to your Hemwick place first rather than the Forest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufumonk Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Well I found Forbidden Forest. Is there any special reason I'd want to go back to your Hemwick place first rather than the Forest?  So, you've already killed Vicar Amelia?  If so, you've made Hemwick a bit more difficult.

Pick6 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Well I found Forbidden Forest. Is there any special reason I'd want to go back to your Hemwick place first rather than the Forest?  It is where you get the Rune Tool, but there may be another place to get it.

Stugein Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 So, you've already killed Vicar Amelia?  If so, you've made Hemwick a bit more difficult. Yeah she was the 4th boss I found. In my defense, she attacked me first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufumonk Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Yeah she was the 4th boss I found. In my defense, she attacked me first.  Killing Vicar Amelia triggers the day/night cycle.  Once that happens, certain things spawn that didn't before nightfall.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mufumonk Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Made it to the Upper Cathedral Ward and was surprised at how easy the Celestial Emmisary was only to get tea-bagged by Ebrietas Daughter of the Cosmos immediately afterwards. I'm saving her for later and have moved on to the Nightmare of Mensis after killing the One Reborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stugein Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'm having the worst time with Darkbeast Paul. He's the 5th boss I've found and I just cannot get his patterns down. He's so damn erratic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pick6 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I found bosses to be easier if you don't lock on to them. Not sure if you have tried that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufumonk Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Looks like I'm at the final boss at level 80......you'll know when you see it. I let him kill me because I'm not ready to start NG+. I need to go back and clean up a few areas first. I'm sure I'm missing a few things from the Forbidden Woods and the Nightmare Frontier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
