Survival guide for the Bloodborne Defiled Chalice Dungeon

A guide for surviving the extremely difficulty Bloodborne Defiled Chalice Dungeon.

[wakeNbake]

I gave up on the Chalice dungeons lol they got way too intense in the higher level ones, and besides I found the Beast Claw already.

Glad to know, that the boss that I'm stuck at is the hardest one in the game :D

[joab777]

Which one? The dog and Amygdala are patience fights, the dog being harder imo.

[Tapani]

The burning doggie!

[dc1]

The dog is all about pacing and timing.
It would also be extremely helpful for you to bring some one in with you.
What level are you?

and good luck man!

Behind NAT3 connection here, so no co-op for me :(

I think I'm around 200 or something (forgot if its NG++ or NG+++). Only tried the doggie for like five times, but it proved to be so hard, that I kinda left it alone for the last few 10-20 levels. I don't think I'm a bad player, good even, when in the flow, but I just didn't could not bear trying that thing without ramping up Vit. I think the Vit is at 25 or something, but STR is like 85 :D

Gonna try with the suggestions this guide had! :)

[joab777]

I've done it 3x, now I'm about to try w/ 20 vit. Fingers crossed.

Watchdog....ugh.

And if you are a bloodtinge/skill build (and don't have range weapons), you really have to be perfect.

If anyone is stuck on a chalice dungeon boss and needs some coop help go to bloodbell.com. I was messaged within 30 minutes and got some much needed help in the defiled chalice dungeon!

set your blunt defense high for the watchdog and good luck. You really just have to dodge alot and dont get to greedy. Get a few hits and evade.

The annoying thing is, all the bosses after the watchdog are not even close to as difficult. Like Amygdala, i beat on my first try.

[Master-H]

That flaming mutt is very frustrating. Made me run out of my Blood vials stash. The queen trophy is the only thing between me and the platinum. Quite tragic.

Probably going to have to clear ng+ with that character first to get level'd up more before I have a chance at killing it. Right now I can get him to maybe 60-70% of his health and then he usually one shots me with the charge attack or combos me to death(since the extra fire damage he deals in this phase easily stuns me).

[Xavior_Reigns]

That charge is one shot no matter what. I was a level 100+ (don't remember specifically and still got crushed.) Just gotta learn the patterns, avoid being locked on 100% of the time, roll and dodge and plenty of luck w/ patience. Never give up and don't throw the DS4!
