Cathedral WP to the right there is an elevator that previously did not work. Use it. It is in a chest on the 3rd floor of that tower across the bridge you cant miss it as the whole point of this area is to get the emblem that lets you buy Ludwigs GS and Ludwig's rifle(less scatter than Blunderbuss, but seems to have higher impact).

I f'ing love this weapon. I have it at +5 right now and is scales B str and C skl (I saw it scales B B at +8) and since I softcapped STR at 25 the C scaling in Skill is really increasing my damage. I know one shot all normal enemies Old Yarnem and prior, take 3 hits with it in GS mode to kill a werewolve, and my favorite.... I took me one charged hit to kill the Axe guy down the alley near the 2nd WP at the beggining of the game.

I was killed by one of those enemies with body bags and awoke in the Unseen Village. I just beat the third boss (Blood Starved Beast or whatever its called) and was roaming outside Oedon Chapel. Fought like hell and kept on dying until I found the lamp upstairs. This game manages to surprise me on every turn!

its a great farming location. the tall dudes cant go down the steps they just stand there and let you kill them for like 1400 echos. Same with the guys down stair they can come out of the door.

I stay clear of those guys regardless they just do too much damage to me atm lol. I agree though the boars/ pigs give around (IIRC) 3K and are much easier to dispose.

I'm struggling to get my head around how big this game is. I've beaten 4 bosses so far and just got grabbed by this giant hand. I'm now in this strange place and haven't got a clue where to go. I keep getting clobbered by these huge pale creatures that throw boulders at you.

love how when you start feeling in comfort zone the game throughts a wrench in your plans... lol

It's so damned complex too. I've found all sorts of hidden locations and for the life of me I can't remember where they are now. Have we got a number on the amount of bosses in the game? I want to get to the second from last boss and then backtrack to try and pick up what I might have missed.

I beat the Shadow of Yharnam solo, and pretty easily. Not that tough at all. Vicar Amelia was tougher.

So did I, first try, but beat her on my second! :3 Used some fire paper and a beast blood pellet to boost my strength.

The Old Lady I rescued just died (or killed)...Was it the guy I rescued in Forbidden Woods? I had a bad feeling but then again i read a message saying "Have mercy, man-Beast". Then again, I don't see him at Oeden's Chapel, so it must've been him? Is the whore next?

Or maybe they're all going crazy.

EDIT: Don't let the guy with the bandages in the Chapel Ward, he's a snake.
