Can you roll through attacks in this game? Finding the first boss tough - can avoid an overhead but any swings seem impossible. Same with the cleaver dude right at the start, swings seem impossible to roll through.

Is it get gud time, or does the game want me to parry instead?

Thanks, better get praticing parry then. No idea when the best time is - sometimes it works, sometimes not (against cleaver dude).
Will try out the shotgun as well to see if that makes things easier.

Ideally you'd spread the chalice dungeons throughout the game. The first ones will be very easy if you leave them till later and the treasure won't be worth anything to you.

But you could also leave them completely if you just want to finish the game. Perhaps get into that side of things more if you decide to go on to NG+.

Probably best to try the first one and see if you can be bothered with it.

I never did any chalice dungeons, just focused on the main campaign.

Not saying you shouldnt just saying they're optional.

They weren't even in it when it first launched, we're they??

They were, because some trophies require them.

Chalice dungeons were in the game since launch, only things that took a while to discover were the odd monster spans and unique layouts here and there due to the to the random generation that glyphs enabled.

Having tried save sync, I thought I'd actually start a new game to see how it runs.

Only 30 FPS but it actually hits it I think? Felt steadier. And meant I actually best the opening werewolf with my fists which I'm pretty sure it's a first for me. Obviously in the zone from Demon's. Not gonna play any more if this tho or I'll get prematurely Soulsed out!

Djura can be ignored for now until you're ready, though you do need one of his drops to unlock some weapons in the shop (though these are a bit niche, but required if you're trophy hunting).

Yeah I've heard this, but I'm not sure where to go without getting hit by his gun.

Must be missing a shortcut or something. I've done that bloodstarved beast, if I walk towards the church from there there's a door I can't open from this side. The church is near the Djura ladder, so if I go the other way from that I keep getting hit.


Edit: oh, apparently a door opened somewhere, B remembered it.

I don't have ps+, so can't do coop I think.

Will keep that in mind Curtis.

This game is absolutely amazing, I managed to open up two gates near the Cathedral Ward lantern, and I'm slowly making my way up the big stairs while exploring left and right of them. I've done the two hunters (? I think they were hunters as they didn't respawn) in a plaza with a well, now there's a little area further from that with all least two of the axe pig face things. I haven't dared to venture into that too far, keep running back with my stash of echoes. Next time. At least I managed to kill the Snatcher (thing with the bag), it was my biggest fear since encountering them Friday and have avoided them since.

This is all quite something, I know my descriptions of things probably don't make sense if you're not playing / seeing the area, but I need to put my thoughts down somewhere!

For the first spoiler, are you talking If so, I've been there, but avoided almost everything. I'll have to go back soon though, as I know the monster there is related to the Djura storyline.

It's my first playthrough, but I gladly accept help from B or anyone else. I'm unlikely gonna do a ng+, so whenever I'm not sure what to do or want to do more exploring in older areas, I look it up. I know there's something I missed in the early areas, as I can't buy many weapons yet in the Dream and I think I should.

Second spoiler

Yeah I'm gonna go back at some point.

My current plan is right side of the stairs (towards the areas with the executioners, I think that's what they're called), left side of the stairs (that might be Hemwick Charter Lane? ), Hypogean Gaol and then VA.
With a visit to (old) Yharnam in between probably, once I've figured out what I can still pick up and am ready to face Djura again.

I just get to find a guide or something that just had the names of items / NPC's for each area, so I can easily click on the things I've missed.

Had a lot of fun in Hemwick last night, not done yet, but unlocked two shortcuts and according to B I'm close to the boss. Since I kept dying on enemies I shouldn't die to after I had cashed in my echoes and tried to make my way back up, i decided to quit for the night yesterday.

Also had a look at the wiki, to check what characters and items I might have missed in Central Yharnam, so I'll go back there after this.
So much to do and so many alleys to check! It's a very fascinating game, each time you spawn at a lantern, you'll learn something new about the world, and feel a little bit more confident in your skills to navigate around the area.
