I could probably take him with the tonitrus but i dont wanna be boring and use the same weapon the whole game
Oh yeah actually I think I used Tonitrus on him my first playthrough and Holy Blade NG+

One of my problems with these games is the weapon upgrade system requiring so much materials that I'm used to only sticking with one weapon most of the game (not to mention build scaling with weapons). It's especially noticeable in Bloodborne where, as others pointed out, the game has such an awesome array of weapons. Sadly I hardly got to enjoy them until NG+. Most of my farming is just for grinding materials for upgrading.

It's one of the things Lies of P improved upon to be honest. They still have the exact same system, but upgrade materials are definitely more plentiful.

I was pretty conservative with my materials, so I got to try out all the weapons guilt-free. I get why it'd be a problem for most people though.

The one biggest flaw of BB from my perspective was the Blood Vial system. It's strictly inferior to Estus Flasks, especially when you get hardstuck on a boss. That final DLC battle raked me over the coals.

Martyr is such a weird fight for me. Sometimes i am in the zone and can get through him relatively easily, other times i have a weird brain setting turned on and he completely wrecks me.

it's one of my most inconsistent fights as well. one of the big reasons is because he's one of the few bosses that never appears in the chalice dungeons. as a result, you really only fight him ONCE per playthrough. add to that his janky movement, his weird hitbox, etc. etc.

difficult fight + I don't fight him as often as other bosses = really inconsistent

some things that probably do help a lot;
  1. He staggers more easily than other bosses. If you stay on him and keep hitting him, you can stunlock him into a pretty long combo chain.
  2. He can be parried. Although I find it really annoying to try and parry him, some people are probably way better at it than I am.
  3. When he sticks his sword in the ground, and a million flying blades shoot at you from every direction, you can actually lock on to the sword in the ground and shoot it with your gun. When you do that, the flying swords also stop spawning. Although in theory this makes the final phase of the fight easier, the reality is that it's still pretty difficult/annoying to try and lock onto the blade and shoot it while Logarius himself is constantly top of you attacking you and there's projectiles flying at you from every direction. But in theory it should be possible.
He's still a lot more aggressive in that final phase so it can still be tough. All in all, for me, it's a fight that I can usually win if my damage output is high enough. But if my weapon is still lacking in upgrades, and especially lacking in blood gems, I won't even bother. Easier to win by out damaging him rather than relying on finesse or skill..

Celestial emissary and Mergos wet nurse down

Mergos wet nurse is probably one of the coolest fromsoft bosses imo

I still dont fully understand the lore, but from what i gather so far i assume everyones trying to give birth to a great one or something, and mergo was guarding house mensiss newborn. And then i got my third umbilical cord so i guess im killing these babies or something

anyway while i was waiting for the game to load, i went in the kitchen to reheat thanksgiving leftovers, came back and saw the hunters workshop on fire. Shit caught me off guard lol, i grabbed my controller thinking we were under attack like OH SHIT

Doll says gehrmans waiting for me in the courtyard. Okay. So i vaguely remember this is where i fucked up last time i played this. Gerhman was like is it ok if i kill you now and i was like sure i guess and then the game ended

so im guessing i need to do my cloud saves before talking to him? get killed for one ending (which i should already have), kill him for another, and use three cords to get the true?

(obviously im still gonna run around and do everything else first tho)

Ebrietas down. Very cool atmosphere + boss design. Im guessing she was one of the great one babies who grew up into an abomination. Theres a dead great one down here too with player notes saying remember queen so i guess that was her mom or something.

Actually just realizing this place is an orphanage and theres a bunch of tiny mutants crawling around, so thats creepy

Also im kinda mad the shaman bone blade doesnt work on the three merciless watchers in the dungeon. I really thought i had something there

Anyway plan b: switch to reiterpallasch and just gun parry them

Still gotta do dungeons, martyr, and DLC

The dead great one in front of Ebrietas is either Rom or a version of Rom with legs. There is no explanation as to how or why its down there.
Also what Ebrietas actually is, has been contested. The fact that she takes extra damage from anti-Kin weapons suggests she is not a pure Great One at least, but she is probably at least older than Rom, the Hunters and the Healing Church.

Plus you meet her again in a chalice dungeon later, which lore-wise is where she was first found by the church. The church then used her blood to improve Yharnams healing methods apparently. And you see how that turned out.

alright ludwig is still pretty hard. And im finally at a point where blood vials are becoming a problem

i went to the cum dungeon just to see what it was about

i cant believe this exists lol

honestly im tired of running out of blood vials so im just gonna use this to keep those stocked. The guy on youtube explaining the cum dungeon was level 300 or some shit, but i have no interest in trivializing the game like that

The DLC has some pretty good areas. Fishing Hamlet is very cool in a lot of ways, although I wish it had sprawled a little bit more rather than focusing on small encounters with overly powerful enemies. The Research Hall is a bit of a genuine dungeon crawl, more in line with what I really like in my games. It's not on the level of Brume Tower or Shulva, but it's definitely close.

And winning that fight gave me the courage to fight the first defiled dungeon boss, and i just parried him to death like it was nothing. Also i had all three HP runes equipped to help deal with the curse

I would recommend doing The Outer Wilds' DLC eventually. It can be done as its own thing without needing to do replicate that final run.

Actually easier to just do it anyway, that way I don't have to wait on your response, then you wait on my response lol

https://youtu.be/DbDdf7rGsGA

edit: this is actually a much stronger depth 5 FRC Amygdala, which is why it take so long to chip down its health. but the same strategies work. if you can camp the outside of the right leg you're almost 100% safe. if you get forced out of this position, it can be hard to get back, especially in the second and third phase. there are some combinations where it can be useful to stay in front, let him do a long combo, and aim for the head, but you have to be in a VERY large room for this to work and also have a good understanding of the spacing/timing, as well as a weapon with a moveset that can consistently hit the head.

empty phantasm shell is better for attempts because fire paper and volt paper don't restock between deaths, but the phantasm shell uses QS bullets which restock between deaths automatically, and can be fueled with blood bullets using blood vials -- which also restock automatically.
