Defeated the Headless Bloodletting Beast and Queen Yharnam

I think Yharnam gets a bit of a bad rep. I've seen her called underwhelming a lot, especially for the amount of effort it takes to get to her. And I guess maybe that's true, but I do think that she's a solid boss in her own right. Especially in her second and third phases. You can really suffer if you don't bring along a good option to control her clones, the fact that you can't repeatedly attack her without getting CC'd, and her combination of blood and poison damage makes her fairly challenging as long as you aren't overprepared. Fighting her with +8 weapons and only being around level 90, I still found it to be quite a challenge.

The one thing I will note is that the overall difficulty of Pthumeru Ihyll is MUCH lower than Isz Gravestone and Lower Loran, and this is a bit strange since I did both of those other dungeons first. So it does feel like you've just gone through hell and then the last of the three final dungeons is a bit of a relief since it's not quite as difficult.

All I have left now is some DLC stuff, and some more chalice exploring. I think the biggest issue with the Chalice dungeons is this: Exploring the randomized high level ones is pretty freaking awesome... but it takes like so long to actually get to the point where you can do those dungeons. I wish they had done something like make chalice progress global across all of your characters or something, because having to replay all of the fixed dungeons to get to the Chalice endgame on every fresh file is... less than optimal.

all the rest weren't so unfortunate
