Okay... I went back to tackle those two werewolves. On the way I summoned
Father Gascoigne... and he seemed to be helping me
. We took out the bevy of baddies at the base of the steps and I was thinking "Cool! We're gonna easily duff up those 'wolves!".
But we got duffed up. Nearly beat 'em, but
Gascoigne and I died within a second of each other. I should've tried that doorway trick, the visceral attack (which I seem to have stopped being able to do) or simply just ran past whilst
Gascoigne was fighting them but I did none of these things.
Now back at Central Yharnam and I gotta try again
. The
die/try again cycle can be a bit frustrating... I think I'll leave my next attempt for tomorrow.
Edit: But at least I've learnt to equip an item (i.e. a stone) and use it by pressing square. Up until now I've opened the menu (start), selected the item and then "used" it which has made aiming rather tricky
.
