I was wondering why my Cannon was costing me 12 QSB per shot instead of 10. They changed it in patch 1.03.
I thought it was because I leveled it up lol.

Took me like, 3 hours to beat the Old Watcher boss.. My worst experience by far.

I've had many 3-4+ hour experiences in chalice dungeon :) but man, it feels good learning mechanics of a challenging enemy that seems so impossible at first.

Beat Darkbeast Pearl at the 2nd attempt :D
Think I was probably intimidated by it's large size and fast attacks but in the end it wasn't too bad, got loads of opportunities to smash it's skull with the big sledgehammer.

Did you finish all layers of the Defiled Pthermau(sp?) dungeon, Kali?
I only need to kill one boss to get my platinum!

Also what's with the weird box monstrosities in the unseen village? They end me pretty quick if they get hits in.

Them and the bloodsuckers are the worst enemies in the game. They hit hard and can one-shot you if your HP isn't high enough and it was a counter hit. High poise I think as well.

What's with the Amygdala boss? Looking at him I was sure he'd kick my arse but I beat him fairly comfortably. Then I allowed myself to get summoned to help someone and got killed at about 1/5 of it's health remaining, I didn't realise you have your health reduced when helping others.

So Micolash has to be my most frustrating boss, not for difficulty but for pure annoyance, after all the running, I eventually get to the final stage and he pulls out his big FU attack that one hit me, in the end when I took him down I realised he MASSIVELY telegraphs that multiple orb magic attack, when he runs towards you he's going to do that attack, I found if I attacked him right away it interrupted the attack and made the fight a breeze.

Ya, he was my easiest boss by far. Chasing him was the most annoying part.
It did take my two tries though, not because I let myself get killed.. but because my dumbass roommate decided it would be funny to cast something to my TV while I was fighting. Micolash was down to maybe 1/20th his HP on the first attempt and then some stupid youtube video popped up.
Needless to say.. I got killed.
He was super easy though.
I will say though, other than him, the last bosses in the main game (not chalice dungeons) were pretty challenging.
Ebrietas
Mergo's Wet Nurse
Gherman
Moon Presence
They were my favorite bosses from the main set. Micolash felt very out of place.

I thought mergos wet nurse was a pretty easy fight, especially for being the final boss if you choose to not fight gherman. I totally agree with the other 3 though. Amygdala, especially in the defiled chalice, has been the biggest thorn in my side in the game.

I beat my first playthrough yesterday, did the Umbilical Cord ending which was...weird but there ya go, was fun to parry the *** out of Gehrman, I guess that might be the equivalent of people parrying the crap out of Gwyn which I sucked at.
So doing more Chalice Dungeons before I progress further, inadvertently summoned someone for the Cleric Beast fight, I initially summoned Gascoigne but he left when I climbed a ladder, then as I approached the boss, someone got summoned but it was fun so I might just summon for every boss, 99 insight anyway.

Rumor: Dark Souls 3 could be announced at E3
Quote: Dark Souls 3 might be announced at E3 later this month.
This rumor is according to an unnamed source speaking to VG247, who states that the announcement may come the evening of June 15th during Sony's E3 press conference.
Nothing is confirmed yet, though the news would surely be welcomed by many.
Contain yourselves ~.~

Find a code for a 4 layer dungeon with easy bosses to speed run through and you're golden. Just remove and remake the dungeon as needed.

I have mixed feelings about the supposed early 2016 date. Makes me doubt that Miyazaki is really the man in charge of DS3. I hope he is, and that he has the time to oversee the production of DS3 and the BB expansion, along with whichever other Soulsborn title they have in progress.
I'm playing DS2 for the first time these days, and I found it to be the least impressive. Miyazaki's thumbprints are missing.
It feels as if the designers got the wrong idea regarding why the Souls series fans liked it: "you guys like to die a lot? Ok, you'll die in this iteration like you've never did before!". So many traps and ambushes that don't make any sense, felt like bad game design to me.
