I've had this game for years, but I was never in the mind state to take on another Souls game since playing the first Dark Souls years ago. So I went with Hunter Axe and a pistol, and am probably going to go with a STR heavy build and using strength/quality weapons.

Anyway, I just beat Father Glascoigne the last time I played. Tbh, he was a bitch and a half. It probably took 7-8 tries, and I saw clearly that I didn't quite understand the combat mechanics in the game. After getting my booty licked a few times I found out that I can parry with the gun. I didn't really use it on his human form since some moves seemed unparryable and those seemed to be the ones I could actually recognize the animation in time, so I just double handed the axe and took potshots when I dodged him. For his wolf form I just hit him with two pistol shots for two parries and moved on. One thing I will say is that I liked that the runup to him had so many enemies with blood vials so it was extremely easy to farm them as I made attempted. But I was surprised I had so much trouble with Cleric Beast was a one try boss for me. I guess it's because Cleric Beast fought more like a DS boss, and this one is more of a BB boss.

Next play session I'll be leaving the Cathedral Ward. Feel free to give me tips about specific NPCs and quests. I don't really care about minor spoilers (and tbh, know tons of big spoilers already), as I'm more in it for the gameplay experience than anything else.
