Got Old Hunters DLC but haven't done anything with it because chalice dungeons

Cleared Pthumerian Depths 1-3, Hintertombs 2-3, Loran 4. And am currently on Pthumerian Depth 4, Layer 3. Cleared it up to the boss but stopped before seeing what it is. Half HP gimmick the worst. I really enjoy working out how to fight these bosses, but dying because of a single mistake not fun. Watchdog of the Old Lords was an ordeal because of it.

the cursed and defiled dungeon I think is a big reason a lot of people are down on the chalice dungeons in general, despite the fact that there's plenty of content before then and literally infinite content after then. all that being said if you're appropriately leveled and you have +HP runes you likely won't get one shot except by specific things. watchdog's charge attack, one specific section where an enemy throws a fireball at you while you're walking through oil, some of the attacks of the final boss. edit; keeper's flame attacks are a borderline case that usually tips against your favor if you're on the lower end of appropriate level or especially if you take counter damage while getting hit by the flames.

the final boss is amygdala and you will see why the one in nightmare frontier is basically a joke compared to what the boss is actually like when you're on an even playing field. it is the only boss in the game that can have its AI easily exploited, though, even by accident, so there's a fair chance you find a boring way to beat it without much trouble or challenge.
