re: Official Bloodborne Thread (spoilers)

I invaded a bunch of times at Mergo's Loft, before the boss. The amount of people that commit suicide or die to the enemies before you can find them is amusing.

So should I do nightmare frontier or go through the area after shadow of yarnum

What side quests and how do I activate them

I think I got the recruitment, what is Eileen the crow

What was it, so I know what to look for in ng+

I cannot beat Rom. This is the only boss I've had to repeatedly attempt over and over.

Or..... Let Henryk kill her in the graveyard fight like I did.

It took me about 7 times to beat him, which was by far the most.

Obviously you want to try and get as many hits on him as you can before the first teleport. Kill all the spiders and you can easily hit him. Make sure you also hit him while he is teleporting.

The next phase I would also recommend working on the spiders. It makes life a lot easier once they are dead. Because I was focusing on the spiders I couldn't see Rom. When he does any attack it starts making a noise....as soon as I hear that noise I select him and start rolling sideways which usually, but not always allows the ice rocks to miss me. If you are close enough to him it is ice that comes up from the ground and also his shockwave thing, which are pretty easy to avoid while just trying to hit spiders. On the last few tries I actually tried to stay just inside the imaginary line where he uses his ground ice/shockwave attack instead of aerial, this makes it easy once you hear the noise to start rolling away.

Once the spiders are dead I just roll in for a few hits and back off while he does his ground attack thing. Third teleport...rinse repeat. On the third teleport he flails around if you are close enough...so just go in for a couple hits and back off.

I beat him about 10 mins after I posted that.

I used oil urns, the flame sprayer and fire paper. I figured out the pattern to dodge those ice missiles. Quick stepping left then right two times makes them miss every time if timed properly. Once he started flopping around it was hard to get in close so I finished him off with a few molotovs.

Rom was easy, I beat him on my second try without much trouble. I completely ignored the little spiders and just kept running to him and jumping to his back/side to hit him. I jumped back when he started charging up the pbaoe attack to avoid it.
