That place is fucking in-sane. Not just the fact that there's snakes everywhere, but I had such a hard time getting my bearing in that place. I must've spent an hour running around, killing anything that moved, that when I finally returned to the Hunter's Dream, my brain felt like it was scrambled. But in a good way. =)MerlinCross said:
Yeah I keep double backing without realizing it. One reason I'd like to be summoned is to 'scout' the area with someone else taking the risk of Death.Casual Shinji said:
Use a bloodstone to change your second weapon to electric type damage, that helps cut through the critters. Once you've dealt with them move in to attack Rom herself (I used my main weapon for this she doesn't seem to take as much damage as her spawn from electricity.) in the second and third phases while dealing with the critters stay close enough that she keeps trying to use the attack where she lies on her back. To dodge her ice meteor attack I usually dodged once to the side then twice back and it worked about 3/4s of the time, the rest of her attacks are pretty predictable so it's just a matter of avoiding the bodyslam when you go in. The threaded canes trick mode might be useful if the body slam keeps getting you but I wouldn't say it is required.ToastiestZombie said:
The only advice I can really give is just try to kill him as fast as you can. I know, not much help, but that's how I did it. I will say that it's easier to dodge his 'raining blue crap from the sky' attack if your not locked on. The quick-step is handy, but dodge roll is faster and seems to have more invicibility frames.ToastiestZombie said:
Hmmmm... tell you what, I might be renewing my PS+ subscription tomorrow. If so, and if you still need help, I shall attempt to assist you! I successfully soloed Rom myself, second try, but that was largely due to luck and going in with 23 blood vials instead of the usual 20. =D But with two of us working together, we might have a far easier time of it!ToastiestZombie said:
I don't think I have any bloodstones on my character, but I doubt I'll need them since the spiders aren't the hard part. It's killing them whilst the spider (is it a her? I don't know) spams attacks.Spacewolf said:
Thanks for the help. I haven't been locking on at all really, I've found that for larger bosses that are a bit slower moving the lock on is a detriment. Lock-on makes the Cleric Beast much harder than it should be. And yeah, thank god the bonfire is so close, and thank god those creatures on the rooftops always jump down before you can get onto it.Casual Shinji said:
I'll PM you if I need some help, although if you do help it'll most likely be a matter of me cowardly staying back whilst you do the dirty work. I'd rather not die to the minion's one-shot homing attacks like all the other times I've tried co-opSeventhSigil said:
. I'm assuming the password system works for co-op.All righty. x3 In the event of me doing most of the legwork, I can't really guarantee a victory, given even when I beat the thing, it was after going through all 23 of my blood vials, and being down to about half health, so it was a near thing. I have enough health to, if I'm careful, GENERALLY avoid getting wiped out in a single hit, though, so fingers crossed on that front. That being said, I've reviewed the footage I recorded of my epic 11 minute or so war of attrition, and I noticed some sloppiness in my tactics, so with a new approach, I may be more effective. =D I shall insist on help with the first wave of spiders, though; Rom doesn't attack during that stage, and the easier we clear those first, the more blood vials will remain for stages two and three. :3 (My strategy was to completely wipe out all the little spiders during each stage before going after Rom; was too chaotic for me otherwise.)ToastiestZombie said:I don't think I have any bloodstones on my character, but I doubt I'll need them since the spiders aren't the hard part.

Could it be you dropped to ninja dog? Because i dont remember so many healing items.EternallyBored said:
Yeah, but it's afterward when shit gets really weird. Or maybe that was just my Insight being at 24, because after I defeated Rom and got teleported to that room with the dish in the center I started seeing... t-things.ToastiestZombie said:
