I just keep on the pressure so they cant. and at high lvls I feel like lots of ppl keep with the "if they bow I wont cheese or spam heal"
Last night I did 10 matches and won all 10. there was one guy who tried to cheese me by cannoning me while i was bowing. So I cannoned him back. but other than that I have only had great duels with no healz. Though if they heal ill heal. but i also shoot alot if they try to put distance between us and generally punish healing.

It was my most challenging area.
Think Unseen Village, Nightmare Mensis, and Nightmare Frontier were about as bad though. Smaller, but tough.

It was my most challenging area.
To be fair though.. I broke the area by dying while falling down the elevator shaft. It caused the elevator to no longer work for me. (Screwed up other elevators as well)
I had to start a new play-through because of it. Might be why I hated it so much..

Ya, but I played through and beat the game before the latest patch. The glitch happened a while ago.

Did I say I was done bitching about the Forbidden woods? Took me a long time to reach the first shortcut and then an even longer time to reach the 2nd shortcut! Thankfully the boss is nearby the second shortcut.

Just curious what level some of you guys are on ng+ or higher. I just finished the normal game at lvl 108, but did all the areas, not just complete the normal story and did quite a few chalice dungeons. At 110 now and ng+ is pretty tough
By Kalila 2015-04-25 21:14:48
NG+ is no joke, I'm nearing the end of NG+2 and I'm level 160'ish.

Very proud of this :3 8 Parries and 2 Backstabs in this fight. I edited the video and made it into a GIF with 1977 frames, 228MB large, then made it into a 29MB GFY with a 12.5 to 1 compression ratio.
Also, that triple parry, that felt so good executing that.

The Shadow of Yarnham were definitely easy to parry, well except the one that favours casting fire spells, was a fun boss for me. Will be even better in NG+ now I have the +200 HP when you use a visceral attack rune.
I'm madly in love with that rune.

Was trying to remember where I got to last play session, then I remembered, I died to Rom a couple times, gonna try wearing armour with Arcane resistance, will have to change my Visceral attack rune for something better as well since, unless I'm mistaken, there are no visceral attacks in that fight.
It's definitely a pain to take out the baby spiders while watching out for Rom's casting, especially when I can't attack them from the front and therefore, lose sight of Rom at times.
I'm pretty confident I'll get him down next time though.

If you use a fast weapon in 1 handed form like the ludwigs or something. if you wail on them from the front enough they will take normal damage. think on the third hit from ludwigs is when they take full damage. depending on your lvl you might need a fourth hit to kill.
also they have to be back to back attacks or it doesnt work. either that or just dodge to the side of them and swipe. and im sure you can parry the little spiders... i just never do since 3 swipes with the sword and they died

Hmm, I'm still taking a lot of damage from Rom's Arcane magic, should I consider grinding some echoes to boost my health?

The best thing I can say it to not get hit by them. The most frustrating one I delt with on my first play through was the falling sky move it does. For this move, I recommend that you unlock from it and pan the camera up to the sky so you can see them fall and dodge accordingly.
The other two magic move are pretty easily dodged as long are you arent too greedy with damage. When it curls up, it will do the sphere aoe and when it rolls over, it will do the ground spikes.
I really hope this helps.

I really hope this helps. My main problem, is when I'm taking out the spiders, I regularly lose sight of Rom, which is when he normally catches me.

that easy. either kill 1 spider then look back at rom. or always face your target with rom in the background.

Rom is pretty easy if you don't even kill the spiders. Just kill the first wave when he's not even paying attention to you and after that, just side step them all while beating on rom. Only like 3 or 4 attack you at once anyways.

Finally got the spider down, found it easiest to remain untargeted and taking out the spiders. Probably different to everyone else!
Much regret! What has the red moon done to this place???
