Anybody played for 12 hours straight??

No, but in Old Yarham enemies glitched a couple of times, clipping through the floor with only their foreheads showing. Luckily enough, I could hit them with the axe two-handed strong attack.

Unfortunately his drop was left hanging in the air, out of reach

Drops from named enemies, bosses as well, will be placed at their inital spot, if you travel to and from hunter's dream. It is highly likely that if you climb up the tower now, that the loot is still there.

Ebritas is driving me crazy. I must have fought her about 25 times.

Caused me a bit of hassle too, I managed it on the 9th or tenth attempt in the end. She is a pain, and the camera doesn't help as it zooms in and you can't see her tells for her attacks to dodge - I just kept to her side and hacked away. I also found you could stand under her head/belly and goad her into dive bombing for a few hacks at her head- but the range on it even when you dodged made it less viable. I found the lasers and her frenzy vomit fairly straight forward to dodge other than that.

I'm taking a break now, but I've got her cracked now I think. Twice I've had her down to one shot and forgot to just press L2. The two times I enlisted some help, I've died due to getting stuck against a wall like an idiot instead of playing it cool.

I keep forgetting to take to down Darkbeast Paarl before I kill Rom, so I can't go back. I understand that lightning hurts Ebritas a whole bunch, which would significantly shorten the battle if I had access to Bolt Paper. I could just skip her until NG++++ I suppose.

Dont use the lock on on Ebritas. I just ran around her, got off a few hits backed off. Let her run at you (easy to dodge with no lock on) then get back to her side. To far behind and she will spin around 360 or do the jump into the air to try and hit you. Once you have this down rinse and repeat. Unless she hangs her head down, then get in quick and do a visceral attack.

Having said all that though, this fight is a complete pain as she can pretty much one shot you at any moment. Luck is a big thing with this one im sorry to say.

[J0e Musashi]

Great strategy. Almost won on my first attempt.

[J0e Musashi]

Finally!

[J0e Musashi]

Woohoo. I took down Darkbeast Paarl on my first attempt.

[Tobal]

Levelled up the Cannon +6, and man does it work over bosses like nothing else.. 10 QD used per shot though for anywhere between 700/1000 HP off a boss, worked well on the wolf boss next to it, stood in the door way where he couldn't get me, used up the poison knifes to take down HP then 2 blasts and worked off they rest with normal shotgun with blood bullets.

[J0e Musashi]

The cannon is incredible. If you level it, it's probably the best weapon in the game.

[Tobal]

yeah, add in the bone marrow and It a boss killer from 1/4 hp left.

Just beaten the lake boss spider thing, now... can I see what I can see

->Open Spoiler<-

massive cthulhu beasts

because I broke the ritual or because I have 40+ insight after getting through the forest/lakeside. I do love its turn in to some cthulhu nightmare.

[BaronSqwelch]

Made good progress today....4 bosses down!

Decided to head to the castle...where my progress abruptly stopped at the boss!

Run out of blood vials now too so won't be heading back for a while.

[J0e Musashi]

It's optional, but an easy boss once you work it out. Easily the best place to farm though.

[BaronSqwelch]

Went back for one more go...mainly as I'd dropped 50000 echoes and managed to win! Smashing the sword every time he stuck it in the ground seemed to be the way to go.

Then headed to the Menses Nightmare and started getting battered again

What level were you guys at when you made it to this point?

[J0e Musashi]

I was around level 70 I think. Just take it slowly. Once you open the shortcut, it becomes really, really short. The boss is awesome too.
