it's kind of amusing you even tried to do nightmare frontier so early because it's definitely a mid/late-game area

i wouldn't even worry about it until after rom at the earliest. also, castle cainhurst is an easier optional area you can access once you have the summons that you get by accessing iosefka's clinic from the forbidden woods underground cave

i realized i wasn't meant for nightmare frontier soon after being murdered by that boulder-hurling beast lol (((and being intimidated by the area's openness)))

and then i rerouted to forbidden woods (((which, lucky me, is even more open)))

and are you talking about the underground cave that takes you to yharnam just outside of iosefka's clinic, or is there another route i'm missing

no thats the one

[Samus Aran]

that is indeed the right path. i don't remember where the cainhurst summons is exactly, but i know you get to it via the rearside of the clinic. it might be on one of the rooftops.

also, kind of a spoiler if i tell you why, but you should probably kill rom before you poke around the backside of the clinic too much, otherwise you risk aggroing a certain npc that you want to avoid killing until after rom is dead

At the end of the game the moon turns to blood and then you eat it and become a vampire.  Then you barf it back out.  Its p cool.

is it her healing that's the problem? Or just her herself?

Attacking her head enough will stun her leaving her open for a visceral.
Otherwise, if you can find numbing mist, that will stop her healing.

oh. I mean, you could always summon if it really is frustrating you. Otherwise like I said, try to visceral. She definitely gave me trouble the first time too

well, the only fundamental difference between this and dark souls is that you need to dodge constantly because it's a faster game with faster enemies and you don't have a shield. and don't be afraid to dodge toward an enemy instead of away from it - often times it's safer plus you then get a chance to hit them

i don't really remember anything in particular i did with vicar amelia, so i must not have used any specific strategy other than my usual tactic of staying to the side/backsides of bosses

[Kalahari Inkantation]

what's your level, what weapon are you using, what is its level, how tall are you, how high can you jump

you should try to remain behind her at all times

i find that she's fairly easy to stagger with a fully charged strong attack of the hunter's axe (or probably any larger weapon) to the hind legs, given enough of an opening to pull it off

repeat that very same attack just as she's about to recover from being stunned and you'll trap her in a loop she'll have difficulty escaping

go for a visceral if you're feeling brave enough when she collapses and her head's pointing downward

once she's down to half her health, don't ever allow her to be more than half the room away from you or she'll use that opportunity to heal

you're not missing anything fundamental, you just need to refine your strategy lol

if you wish to defeat her alone but want practice, consider buying the bell and assisting/observing other players with her fight before taking her out in your own game
