  1. Ahhh, I managed to figure out what I needed to do.

     

    I basically "fluked" the Forbidden Woods. I found the shortcut that unlocks the door to the lamp at the start of the woods and I found out how to get that lever working, which operates the lift. I put on my white poison protection garments and tried to pick up as many items as possible. I even found my way to the boss and promptly died three times!

     

    I've been re-doing that section up to the boss so I know where to go. I've memorised the path now.

     

    Awaken at the lamp.

    Through the door to the lift.

    Exit the lift, turn right, down the ramp and past snake-head to the other lift.

    Past snakehead number two, turn left at the lake.

    Go through the valley of the pigs.

    Turn left.

    Boss.

    :D

     

     

    On a side note, I tried that boss and...

     

    On my fourth go, I only had 9 vials and thought I'd just go for it anyway. I managed to kill one of the shadows, got another down to 2 hits away from him dying and had about 9/10s of the other left. Could have done it with twenty vials. Gutted.

     

     

     

     

    Thank you, I felt invincible. :D

     

    @drahkon, I played this tonight whilst listening to Origin of Symmetry and Absolution on Spotify. :D

     

    If you kill the katana wielding one first, the fire spraying one doesn't attack, so just back him into a corner and swing away. It's pretty easy then.

     


  2. Been struggling against the Shadow of Yarnham, so I thought I'd go try defeat the Darkbeast Paarl. After using the advice of going for its legs, it was very easy. Think it was someone from here who mentioned that, so thank you. :p


  3. I've heard people say that the woods is a bitch to navigate and they're right.

     

    I found this building that is about two/three floors high. That's where I first encountered the human body/plant head thing and there's a lever in another room that I can't use yet but it looks like it's for some kind of lift.

     

     

    Not sure if that place is important yet or not. Or if I should just leave it.

     

    There's an item you definitely want to pick up from the top of that building. The lever will come in very handy in the future.


  4. I've had an excellent day on this.

     

    I SMASHED Vicar Amelia. Totally ruined her. I didn't know what the fire paper truly did, so I gave it a go and fuuuark, it really helped. I got behind her and just took chunks off her health. Only ended up needing to use a handful of vials in the end now that I had my strategy nailed down.

    :D

     

     

    Once I dispatched her, I went to

    Hemwick Charnel Lane and explored that area.

    I thought I'd do a little scouting mission and just ended up going further and further. Somehow I missed the lamp (just found it now, can't believe I went past it) and ended up finding the boss...

     

    Pure comedy. I thought I'd found a lamp room, didn't realise it was a boss until its health bar came up. The Witch of Hemwick! The boss was quite easy, I thought. I figured out the best way would be to destroy her minions first before attacking her and it was just a case of rinsing and repeating that. This time, I used a combination of the fire paper and bolt paper, which worked an absolute fucking treat.

     

     

    I had to kill the boss there and then otherwise I would have had to find my way there again all the way from Cathedral Ward, which is miiiiiiles away because I missed the lamp.

     

    So, I did that and kept looking around. Found out how to get to

    The Forbidden Woods. I've been there for about an hour, died repeatedly, missed the lamp, just found the lamp, died some more, etc. I...have found these horrible poisonous creature things with human bodies but plant heads. Fucking horrific. I guess this is where I need to be right now. It's hard.

     

     

    I've also been putting on some Spotify and playing this game both yesterday and today. Right now, I've got the Les Revenants soundtrack by Mogwai on. Earlier on, I had some Sigur Ros and yesterday I played The Last of Us soundtrack. Pure hnnnnnnnnnng. It fits in with the atmosphere of the game, particularly the Mogwai stuff.

     

    So, all in all, a successful day! Very successful. Two bosses killed, two new areas discovered and various lamps lit!

     

    I just ignored the minions for the Witches, they were slow and lost aggro if you move far enough away. :p

     

    I found sticking to the left hand side of the woods helpful from where the lamp is. Was easier for me. ;)


  5. Really? Ports of PS3 games...? The Xbox one has a far better library than the PS4 I think, mainly because they have exactly the same games, yet xbox 1 has a few better exclusives (Sunset overdrive, killer instinct, titan fall etc).

     

    At this moment in time, I genuinely believe the ps4 is one of the worst consoles I've ever owned.

     

    But there's more than just remasters. They're great for people who didn't have a PS3.

     

    Drive club, Bloodborne, infamous, the order, killzone is a decent list, and there's loads I've missed. Not to mention that the PS4 versions of multiplat games are always the best to buy.


  6. Witches of Hemwick. Thought it was very easy at first, until I realised there's a 2nd witch that revives the other one. It's still pretty easy if you keep moving and avoid that white stun spell. Overall by far the easiest boss so far for me.

     

    I've started on the forbidden woods. Hopefully I'm heading in the right way?

     

     


  7. I got to another boss just now.

     

    Blood starved beast. For my first go at him, I took off half of his health, which isn't bad going!,

     

    I beat him earlier after a few tries.

    The first part is pretty simple to dodge and attack. It's the bit where he's spewing poison everywhere that's tough. You really have to balance taking antidote and healing all while dealing some damage. I'd highly recommend buying the Gascoigne gear from the insight shop, as the poison resistance is high.

     

     

    Had one go at Vicar Amelia. I Died.:heh:

     


  8. What?? Ramsey missed a one on one before you even touched the ball..

     

    I meant before your actual first goal, Markovic messed up that easy square ball to Sterling, and Sterling was 1on1 with the keeper and got wrongfully ruled offside. Both happened at 0-0.

     

    Makes no different anyway, we were poor, Arsenal were miles better.


  9. How far are you guys?

     

    Father Gascoine(sp?), got him down to 2/3rds health first time, grinded for some molotovs and got him to about a 1/3rd on my 2nd attempt. I think the Cleric Beast is meant to be the first boss, but it's possible to miss it. :p
