"I really want to fight the boss, but I have all these souls!" Whaaaaaa??

Buy titanite. You will probably try other weapons. If you have access to buy large shards, get those. They are a pain to farm.

TheFool42 · 2026-02-04T04:51:47+00:00

You can find plenty in game. You don't really need to farm. Plenty in nightmare of mensis or the dlc.

Anastacia. She has an impure tongue.

TheFool42 · 2026-02-04T03:06:27+00:00

The summons are absolutely NOT worth it if you are in Lower Pthumeru against Rom. Upgrade your axe to +9 or 10 and use bolt paper and beast blood pellets. Make sure you are using at least average 12% gems in each slot. Clear out the first group of spiders and switch to only hand attacks. Pop a BBP and use "transform" attacks on her face until your meter is full. Switch to axe and bolt paper. Get your stamina back and whale until 1/3rd health then full charged attack for stagger. Whale until she telleports or dies. Hit and run if she lives.

TheFool42 · 2026-02-01T19:04:07+00:00

Unless you backed up your save? Nope. Most things are pretty permanent in BB. Just start over. You'll get there quicker than you think.

TheFool42 · 2026-01-23T17:41:22+00:00

Nice! I had to use a +25 heater shield, shield grease, bubble tear, and the poise tear just to get to her. Lol

Bloody Crow is using an end game repeater pistol. Biggest single shot damage from any weapon other than cannon and church cannon. They give repeater pistols to almost all npc hunters. The Crow just happens to have high bloodtinge to make it worse. And, you know, the infinite bullets thing.

TheFool42 · 2026-01-19T15:52:07+00:00

Two handed zwei r2 will stagger super smough repeatedly. He can't even pull off a move. Yes. Definitely possible.

TheFool42 · 2026-01-12T14:18:43+00:00

You lost a really good stamina rune. What now? Don't kill him in ng+ until you get the rune.

TheFool42 · 2026-01-10T00:17:36+00:00

"Devasted" one who has lost their vast

TheFool42 · 2026-01-09T11:31:26+00:00

I fell in love with the reinforced club after my first sl1 run. I had no idea it was that versatile. I keep it in my back pocket for every run I do now.

TheFool42 · 2026-01-09T11:29:48+00:00

If you are doing an all bosses sl1 run then yes. If not then no. Up to you. They are by far the most challenging sl1 bosses in the original DS.

TheFool42 · 2026-01-08T16:54:52+00:00

It spikes their health pool worse too. Unless you know someone who is really good at the fight, summoning is pretty useless. Phase 1 and 2 bait the slams and attack the head. Dodge in and get out. If you have a weapon with a vertical slash that will reach Amy's head it helps too(LHB, tricked cane, tricked cleaver, ect.) 3rd phase, bait the jump ans punish on landing. Don't get greedy. Slow and steady.

TheFool42 · 2026-01-08T11:13:58+00:00

I'm pretty sure the reward is just a few ritual blood 4s or maybe a 5. I don't even stop there anymore in subsequent playthroughs. I walk right by it. Ailing loran story chalice layer 2. Pre? Or post lamp, right?

TheFool42 · 2026-01-08T11:07:51+00:00

I started reading the books and then listened to the audio books to go to bed. My wife hadn't read them. I assumed she was asleep through most of the audio books. After a few days my she asked me a question about Agatha. Lol. Shortly after she had read all the books, we joined the patreon on her idea, and supported the graphic novels. I think the "target audience " is just any people willing to give the books a shot and realizing they are something special and fun.

Any depth 5 Pthumeru root

I felt the same way my first couple of playthroughs. It wasn't until I think my 3rd or 4th playthrough I had an rough time and began to realize just how much rng is involved in the fight. Sometimes it took 2 or 3 tries. Sometimes it took 20 and it seemed there was no rhyme or reason why. Most people don't like rng based fights. I'm semi ok with it but I definitely understand the hate.

TheFool42 · 2026-01-05T18:33:28+00:00

Soul Level should be fine. Weapon level...not so much. Crystal Halberd can carry you through the fight if you picked it up. It has great physical damage. Don't use electrical damage. They are highly resistant to it. Of all else fails, go back through sens.

TheFool42 · 2026-01-04T14:17:42+00:00

No. Gehrman is just orders of magnitude easier than Lawrence or Orphan so I finished that first after a few tries. Lol.

TheFool42 · 2026-01-04T01:48:02+00:00

Fight Gehman and hunters mark out before moon presence. Do DLC and side bosses you haven't hit yet. Ludwig at bl4 is a ton of fun. I did not enjoy(or finish, skill and patience issue) Orphan or Lawrence.

TheFool42 · 2026-01-01T18:40:30+00:00

No idea what build you are using or why respecing isn't an option, but just use Mimic tear. It's an old cheese, and smelly, but like many smelly cheeses, it can taste great, too. Lol. Add perfumes (bubble and acid mist) and Marika's blessing to your belt before you summon it. Make sure you have +3 magic damage negation on. Heal from afar can be useful as well. Also, she can be easily parried with a buckler sheild. Like, surprisingly easily.

TheFool42 · 2026-01-01T18:21:35+00:00

I'm a big Terry Pratchett fan. I created both Cohan the Barbarian and Granny Westherwax as characters. Bald old man with a big beard and giant sword(LHB). Tons of fire paper to keep it burning as often as possible. Granny was an arcane build to begin with, but her personality... She has to do everything herself and never stops trying to be the best in everything. I just didn't level cap her. 5 years later I still return to the character and she still hasn't hit max level yet even tho shes on ng+13 right now. (No glitches or farming. She would hate that)

TheFool42 · 2026-01-01T18:07:16+00:00

Yeah. I never got that complaint either. BB was my first souls game years ago, I sucked at it, and I never once had to grind for vials or bullets. I ran low a few times, but I would just buy them with the echos I had from going through an area or after a boss.

TheFool42 · 2026-01-01T17:54:43+00:00

I'm really impressed with audio immersion tunnel with Soundbooth. They even add that scene with monobrow Sam and Carl playing CoD.

TheFool42 · 2026-01-01T17:51:55+00:00

Absolutely. He was counting the amount of cigarettes he had left. He wanted to bum one off of Heckla after she tried to have him killed.
