There once was a Kirkhammer weilding noob, who just bought the game 3 days ago.
He spent 2 days trying to kill Father Gascoigne before fluking it with a lucky molotov throw.
he hates life and wishes the next boss dies of herpies.
Killed it first to GET the kirkhammer, that thing killed me maybe twice.
My issue with father ******** was his beastmode, where he just cheese-moved me repeatedly. cant hit **** when he's leaped into the air for the 8th ****** time in a row.
The tactic i use is let them butcher me a few hundred times, learn their routine and THEN go in prepared. im a father of the most energetic child in the world, im patient as hell
also some tips, try the chalice dungeons and find some good glyph seeds online. you can probably get a weapon to +10 before the halfway mark of the game, along with some endgame weapons and stuff you shouldn't have pre bloodmoon
The Kirkhammer is a poor choice to fight Gascoigne, what Hunter weapon did you choose first?
You'll want a fast weapon to fight Gascoigne, because you need to match his speed, and he's still just as fast in Beast Mode.
Gascoigne was super easy for me, because I could get inside his head, I understood his tactics, he was going where I was weak, and I could counteract him and match him blow for blow, and that's while he'll always be my favorite boss fight.
I went with the thing that looks like an oversized shaving razor. First time playing, had no clue what i was doing. im thinkin i should have gone with the cane, but i can buy it now so no biggie
The Saw Cleaver is actually a fantastic weapon to use against Gascoigne, as it's only a wee bit slower than the Threaded Cane and only a wee bit weaker than the Hunter's Ax.
Use it, you'll need to match him step for step.
A skill build with the Threaded Cane + Hunter's Pistol will carry you through a lot of boss fights based on speed alone.
i ended up just using the tombstones for cover and womping him over the head with the holy cement block of concussions until he went beast mode, then just kiting him up the stairs, throw a molotov as he came up them, run around and jump off through the hole in the fence. Rince and repeat
see the issue was that father just gave me no opportunitys to hit back in dog mode. im GREAT at dodging. No one can run away from a fight like i can, im a master coward.
and i can always cheese, just you wait. im gonna cheddar the **** out of this game
Blunderbus. i did the whole... visceral thing on him for the first hundred deaths, but then i just decided to save ammo and cave his skull in. thinking of swapping to the repeater pistol, something faster.
BSB is easy if you can keep him in the smaller end of the church and you just keep dodging around him. Also you can get some good crits while he's buffing.
Vicar Amelia is what you want to use numbing mist for, and take down her legs.
Yeah but my Str was 11, Skill 12, Bloodtinge 9 and Arcane was 7 so there was a bit of a difference, most of my levels were endurance and vit until I cap them out on 30 for the meantime.
**** the Kos Parasite and **** the cauliflowers invading me with it , whom I can't even ******* dodge because latency as well as some mysterious hitboxes.
I invaded some tit in PvP, he had Alfred with him.
I tried fighting him with just fists and my gun but he was like "nah dawg" and kept trying to saw cleave me. He hit me like 3 times in total I think before I started ******* about and throwing pebbles at him.
It's not bad in places where I know where the bell woman is, but I only know where she is in the Woods, anywhere else I just have to hope that some dickhole who's 900 levels above me doesn't invade me using some ******** uber-fast build so he can get sexual gratification knowing he beat someone who had no shadow of a chance beating him.
At least you helped me get a little bit further.
Now I've reached and encountered Logarius, now I just need to reach and encounter Micolash, I think? Or is it Rom next?
I'm at Byrgenwerth/Cainhurst, so I need to beat Logarius and I think either Rom or Micolash, but I don't think that's right because I don't know if the Nightmare Frontier is this close or not.
I've got a lot of bosses left, I've got(In order) Logarius, Rom, Micolash, Paarl, The One Reborn, the Emmisaries, Ebrietas, Amygdala, Mergo's Wet Nurse, and Gehrman left.
I'm not doing the Chalice dungeon bosses, so I'm not worried.
Doesn't Strength affect how fast those are, though?
Like, if I remember correctly, the Hunter's Ax used to swing slow, but I dumped levels into Strength and Bloodtinge because Cannon, and the Ax was slightly faster because I was stronger.
Can't say I grew overly fond of the Rifle Spear myself. Also balanced builds like this can somehow work but they'll never be truly as good as a specialised build.
Skill+bloodtinge, quality or arcane hybrids can work now with the new arcane items being added into the DLC. And pure str builds get more options to mess around with.
Making a new char to go for a skill+bloodtinge (possibly just pure skill, still unsure)
The Rifle Spear is an untapped well of potential. It's got good two-handed speed, as opposed to the Hunter's Ax, it's only a tad bit slower than the Blunderbuss when firing, so good timing is great for reposts, and the range on the charged R2 is ******* insano membrano.
I only liked it for the two handed charge attack, usually I prefer pistol for parries myself. The one handed stab is pretty useful against some enemies though. (I'm looking at you, brainsuckers.)
I main the Rifle Spear, but I do have the Pistol and a Cane for boss fights, speed reasons, even though I'm trying to level the Reiterpallasch I found so I can use it in the stead of the cane.
I've now progressed to Byrgenwerth and Castle Cainhurst.
But I really wish someone would've told me ******* Beelzebub clones were hanging around in Byrgenwerth, and that the bloody vagina sack beasts were OP as **** to only a level 50 player.
Latency's not my problem, it's actually ******* finding people.
As it stands, I'm too scrub to get through Cainhurst and Byrgenwerth, so I need compadres so I can get partly through, mainly it's the bloody vagina sack monsters.
