If the games thread has tought me anything, it's that we'll have about 2000 hours of content before slowbeef beats the 2nd boss

Some good, non-spoiler tips:

-You missed an NPC who was in a window with a lantern by the gate that opened into the courtyard. Diabeetus even pointed the window out, but you didn't get close enough to it to get the talk prompt.

-If you go back to the clinic and up the stairs, there is another NPC that you can talk to through the locked door.

-Big bosses can be parried, but it works slightly differently. To parry them, deal damage to certain parts of their body, almost always the head, during certain times. The Cleric Beast has a second lock-on point on his head, so shoot a bullet at it during a couple of his combos until you get that sound and he'll stagger over. Plant yourself in front of him and press r1 to do a huge damage attack on him. The position can be finicky, but it's completely worth it and the game will expect you to know how to do this on later bosses.

-Bosses can also be staggered by doing a large amount of damage to them in a small window of time. You can't visceral attack them unless you hear the sound effect, but it will let you get a bunch of safe hits in on the boss.

-The "buy with insight" bath messengers will show up once you get a total of 10 insight at once. They will sell the items that let you co-op and invade people for insight, and also the boss armor sets.

Some quick words on stats too:

For your character build I'd recommend picking two "offensive" stats and leveling them along with Vit and Endurance, and never touching the other two unless there's a minimum requirement you want to meet. Whether it's str/skill, str/arcane, skill/arcane, skill/bloodtinge, or strength/bloodtinge, there's a weapon for it. Now that I've thought about it, bloodtinge/arcane seems like it would be interesting as hell to try, but only if you already know the game.

STR and SKL are self-explanatory. Bloodtinge only affects the DAMAGE of guns, so you can still parry with them if you leave bloodtinge low.

I'd say the second part of your first tip is exactly the kind of 'tip' slowbeef said wasn't allowed.

Ok, I'll leave them at simply "you missed an NPC."

It is true that, if you know the mechanics of a video game, its first boss will be easier to defeat.

You can go thru the game fine without ever buying this 10,000 echos key. Buying it just means that you can get to some parts early, much like the forest emblem in Dark Souls 1 (though maybe not as likely to just get you killed over and over).

Yeah, I just figured out how after posting that, but it's pretty hard to find.

Er, mind if I cut this line? I'm starting to feel like this is going into too specific of an area...

Yeah I'll edit that out. It's cool, it's just that the item is an early roadblock that people often miss, especially if they are talking about the game with a co-commentator and have a baby too.

Congrats on not recognizing your friend and letting her die, slowbeef. The blood is on your hands.

So did anyone in the youtube comments call him out on this poo poo???

Calling out DSP for being bad at games is missing the point.

Chalice dungeons are worth it for a secret random item drop that unlocks a special NPC interaction and is so absurd I thought it was a some sort of prank for at least a month after release.

Do chalice dungeons mostly offscreen but do post-commentary for new bosses and any sort of interesting area or funny way that you gently caress up.

Discovered something interesting in the Forbidden Woods recently and it was all thanks to laziness. Won't say what it was, but goddamn it I hope slowbeef stumbles into it because I want to talk about it. I'm just glad I had no clue it was a thing prior to finding it.

How descriptive.
