I restarted Bloodborne again recently and it finally clicked with me, it hadn't before. I'm having a helluva time with Rom though, even Shadow of Yharnam was much easier than this one for me.
Rom is trash. The only fight in the game that is more trash you have yet to encounter. I'd say BB has two truly terrible bosses, 2-3 that are just boring but then all average or better with some truly fantastic ones.
My favorites are
Gehrman, Orphan, Maria, Logarius and Ludwig.
No one should click that spoiler if you haven't finished BB but intend to just a heads up.

Well, this is just getting annoying. Elden Ring has crashed like 4x now ... and when it does, I lose the last bit of progress. Disabled Xbox and Steam overlays, yet just happened again. Frustrating.

I've had 2/3 crashes since I reinstalled recently, pretty sure all were on the hill that I usually farm storm giants in, usually during transition. Otherwise it's been a pretty sweet, stable return to ER. 28 int, 34 vig, enough stats for Bloodhound Fang. I didn't do artes or magic last time, this time it's personal.

Not once, in all the years of these games, have I ever accidently killed an NPC ... that changed tonight.
Was mid-texting, and I got ambushed by random mobs. Attacked, and killed Selena (where she's a prisoner in the Peninsula).
Just went and got the dew, tried to Atone, said I need no attornment.
Fudge.
Good thing I'm not rolling mage. this time.

I didn't know she was ever out of that hole, must not have triggered that yet. I've been going to her every now and then to check for new spells

Yeah this ain't Dark Souls 1 lol. I remember my first time playing it I decided to restart because I killed a merchant.

Yah but plenty of npcs can be perma killed, no? I didn't kill any in my first play through. Maybe I should just go on a rampage and kill em all.

Haha, I like your thinking.
This feels so infinitely easier this time (obviously). Just checked, took 3 weeks and 2 days to get plat last time. Don't think I'm gonna go for it again.
Face smashing everyone is so much more rewarding than casting.

I generally always at least try a run with both. Except Dark Souls 2. Fudge that one. Did what I needed to do and don't revisit it like the others.

Does stock refill if you take a bell to the Roundtable Hold? I really don't wanna kill any of the merchants.
Well. I always kill one. But he doesn't count

I'm pretty sure their stock is in the same state whether they're a living merchant or accessed through a bell.

Ok, using the erdtree greatshield with discus is quite fun! Still working on the timing but it legit took a couple pvp'ers for surprise as they came running at me after the discus went through them. This is gonna be fun.
Str/fth definitely more fun than int/dex.
I don't know what summon to use though. I rocked headless most of last play through until I got Tiche really late game. I'm using him again, but want something more fun.

You can try out Dung Eater or Mimic Tear. Those are pretty common go-to summons. Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff can cast lightning spells, which can be fun. Rollo is your bleed/burn guy if you're not trying to proc frostbite. Latenna is sort of like a turret and will ride a direwolf if summoned near one.

I did a little bit of Mimic last time. Lost out on Dung. I didn't look up how to get him last time. I'll check it out this time hopefully!
Didn't ever look at Kristoff nor Rollo either, will do so, thanks for the suggestions.

I think there's a trick to get the puppet and still get his armor, so be sure to look into that if you're interested. Too ugly for me to mess with since Lionel's set worked well enough for me (couldn't get bull goat since I killed Patches).

Ugh, now up to the whole Ranni, Seluvis, Dung Eater connected quest lines. Last time, I screwed it up a bit ... is there any optimal way to do this?
Combo of memory and a bit of reading
- I want the Dung Eater summon, but I can't give him the potion until WAY late in the game to finish his questline (you miss his ending if he dies early right?)
- In order to finish Ranni's questline, I need to turn in an item that will kill Seluvis (this screwed me last time from finishing him properly)
You guys remember this? Is there an ideal/optimal path to be able to do all quests properly and still get Dung Eater summon?
Although, maybe I don't need him. I was looking around and I think Nightmaiden & Swordstress would be a lot of fun for my playstyle.
Thanks

There's a reddit thread that is the perfect companion guide for NPCs: https://old.reddit.c...
Don't give Ranni the blade until you have the dung eater puppet. Pretty sure you can do Ranni's quest at any time. A few other links:

You definitely don't need the Dung Eater summon if you don't want to mess with it. Getting the summon ends/locks out his questline and prevents his ending. His ending isn't anything special and can be watched on Youtube, though.

Yah I did all the endings on PS5 already. Just prevents from getting the trophy ... which I want to avoid, as I'm playing round 2 on PC.
Was trying to determine if there's a way to be able to do it all - get the summon + finish his questline. Doesn't appear to be a way to do so.

Unless something has changed his ending isn't required for the trophy. I think all you needed were Ranni's, Frenzied Flame, and Elden Lord (all the others are just a variation of Elden Lord). But you are right. It's either finish his questline or get the spirit ashes. When I eventually go through my second playthrough I'll actually get to finish his quest, hopefully not accidentally kill Patches, and maybe get the Nepheli ashes.
