Bloodborne frustration starting to set in....

This part is kinda annoying if you want to explore, but otherwise all you have to do is take cover when you can and clear out enemies. Then move on. Keep looking for places to cover, then once he stops shooting, run ahead. Eventually you should make it to where he is, although if you wait till later, you can just befriend him. Just make sure not to die in the next part :P

I'm not too far.  Lower Pthumeran, about half way through the total chalice dungeon quest line.  I am NOT looking forward to the defiled chalice since I'm only level 90. 

I'd recommend going through Nightmare of Mensis and getting the Moon rune which gives you 30% more souls per kill. You'll make thousands of souls per enemy in the Chalice Dungeons and you should level up a lot. Although with half HP in the Defiled dungeon, you're gonna need skill more than anything as well as a good weapon to take out enemies quickly enough.

where's the Moon Rune?  Never found that one.
