how can i get this chalice?


i just used the bloodborne tropy guide page, here's a snipppet:

Yharnam, Blood Queen of the Old Labyrinth is the layer three boss of the fifth Pthumeru chalice dungeon. In theory, this means that you "only" have to complete five chalice dungeons, for a total of sixteen layers (and sixteen bosses!) to earn this trophy. In practice, however, you will have to re-play some of the dungeons multiple times in order to farm the items that are needed to create the higher-level chalice dungeons. The chalices that you absolutely have to use to create the dungeons are (in order):

  • Pthumeru Chalice (3 layers)
  • Central Pthumeru Chalice (3 layers)
  • Lower Pthumeru Chalice (4 layers)
  • Ailing Loren Chalice (you need to find two "Bastard or Loran" items, needed to create the next dungeon - you could find these as early as the first layer, or much later, but play at least until you find the Beast Claw weapon in Layer 2)
  • Defiled Chalice (3 layers - you have half HP throughout this dungeon, which makes the bosses *brutal*)
  • Pthumeru Ihyll Chalice (3 layers, Yharnam, Blood Queen of the Old Labyrinth is at the bottom)

also got invaded for the first time yesterday in Nightmare of Mensis(for the life of me I could not find the bell-ringing woman)

When you go inside the building with the spiders, go up the stairs on the right.  There is a doorway up there on the right wall leading to a balcony outside. She's there.



Finished it today, really really disappointed in the number of NPC's, how short the NPC quest-lines are, and the fact that there are only 2 'roaming' NPC's.

Overall the bosses are kinda meh, outside of the last 2 bosses, which are truly epic (granted the setting helps a LOT), I just kinda wish that Gehrman wasn't parry-able, as I love to parry too much, but it makes it an easy fight, even with parrying, Gehrman is still a better fight than Gwyn was, yet not as good as False King Allant. The only main game (I've not played very much of the Chalice Dungeon's yet) boss that was truly difficult was Ebriatas, Daughter of the Cosmos, mostly due to her charging attacks that are horrendous to dodge, and then how much her lazers hurt, which are also painful to dodge. The only other notable bosses are Vicar Amelia (she hits very very hard, and some of her stuff is hard to dodge) and the Blood Starved Beast, because of it's bullshit poison aura, and you're very unlikely to have enough poison resistance by the time you fight it, meaning if you get caught by one of its combo's without monstrous health by that point you're going to be wrecked and won't be able to recover and pop a vial before the poison gets you.

Ultimately nothing in this game comes close to the masterpiece bosses that are the False King, Astraea, Maneaters, Flamelurker, Capra, Sith or O&S (having said that Nostalgia might be playing a part in Meaneaters and Flamelurker, not fought them in a while, and even longer since I've fought Flamelurker without magic), which is a real shame after the disappointment that was the bosses in Dark Souls 2 (Darklurker aside, but one boss out of 30+ is really really bad haha)

The great things about this game is the atmosphere and the level design, for me that's on a whole new level compared to prior games, even if it does end up a bit dreary with all the grey, brown and black (the woods were a massive missed opportunity for me, could have easily been split into two with a boss in the middle of it all, and then they could have also added more colour to the area by adding glowing florescent plants and other stuff like that, adding a bit more of a high fantasy side to the game, as that's also the area where 'kin' first start appearing (IIRC)). My favourite areas were pre-blood-moon Yahar'gul (Yahar'gul in general was pretty great, crap final boss aside, just pre-moon is just amazing), Cainhurst and Hemwick at sunset was particularly great (again shame about the boss). Didn't like the woods or Byrgenworth at all, I've already mentioned I felt that the woods were a missed opportunity, and Byrgenworth should have been the Anor Londo moment of the game, a really really difficult complex area with an awesome boss, a twist in the story, and a bit of dialog to help explain shit (as if you're not paying attention to the lore and the notes, which are both easy to miss and hard to piece together stuff at this point will start making very little sense, if they still did already)

Overall the atmosphere and level design are the best between Demon's and Dark souls (1, 2 is utter wank, and shouldn't exist as it is), the bosses are weaker and the story is far far weaker than it's kin, also From, where the fuck is my Moonlight Greatsword, been playing with that greatness since Kings field, I want my Moonlight greatness :'(

 

Edit: For a normal games standard 9.5/10, from a FromSoft standard 7/10.

Edit 2: Both the nightmare areas also sucked because of the Frenzy in Mensis and the combination of Poison and Frenzy in parts of Frontier, and Poison in general in Frontier, just urgh at both of those levels.

You would just need to fight Father Gascoigne first and then find a way to get the Tonsil Stone. If you can get the stone before fighting any more bosses (don't know if that's actually possible or not - I ended up getting the stone in the Forbidden Woods), just have the Lesser Amygdala in the area to the left of Grand Cathedral teleport you to the Lecture Hall, then go outside of there into Nightmare Frontier where you can fight Amygdala.


yep. I actually did this on NG+.    Went straight to Father G killed him. Bought the cathedral key. Grabbed the tonsil stone(it id near the hemwick lamp). Went to the lecture hall then nightmare plain then killed Amagdyla. After I killer her I went back and finished off the Cleric Beast. lol.

Is the tonsil stone actually an essential item? I got it earlier, but haven't tried finding a place for it.

1 trophy left remaining. I am in the defilled chalice dungeons and it's a bit difficult because you only have half of HP. So far 2 bosses down.

Game is kicking me all over the room.



                            

beat it and platted it!!! the last boss wasn't that tough, beat it on my second try and one-shotted the true-ending boss, but after spending so much time in the chalice dungeon my character was ridiculous OP(was around 138 when I beat the game)

 

my only though is shouldn't the true ending be the bad ending and the bad ending the true ending? in the supposed "bad" ending you die but you wake up and the hunt is over and day is breaking while the true ending you beat the final nightmare but a part of it remains(or is that you?) for the hunt to begin again, I think the scenarios required for those endings should've been reversed.

Plat as well.
