Damn,

Spoiler

The emoshuns are too much. Other games really need to take a lesson from the subtlety in FROM SOFT's execution.

Miyazaki's game design flow is only matched by Kojima's insidious genius.

This game is going to be a fucking masterpiece.

Spoiler

So I wager something happened to his wife and daughter, this item causes him to remember this and effects him somehow. Perhaps, it was him that killed them as the man became beast. Another thought it is that he became a hunter to kill beasts because his family was killed by beasts. Basically Priest Batman.

Third boss fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbH4GpMMMdQ

Damn...

 

[OneUh8]

well shit I could not resist and watched one of the boss fights. That is it I swear!

 

[Stillmatic]

Caved and watched the 2nd boss video, the animations in this game are fucking amazing, I love the movement. Now, time to bail until launch day!

 

[Finalow]

how do you actually parry the second boss? He seems to recover instantly from the ''stunned'' animation.

From the video it seemed the dude was standing too far away. You gotta look death right in the eyes.

yeah it might be that you have to be really really fast, or maybe you just can't

Spoiler

parry him at all when he's in beast mode.

sorry if posted SPOILERS boss battle...

Ohhh god...so good.

20 bosses + chalice dungeon....damn...the content is crazy insane.

 

[IrrelevantAlex]

Just got an email from newegg saying I cancelled my order for the CE..
Anyone else get one?
time to try gamestop to see if I can get a CE or Amazon it is.

 

[misterhektik]

Don't forget NG+, which Miyazaki claims FROM is "having trouble beating." It's scary to think developers can't beat their own game.

 

[Primethius]

The third boss music is absolutely fantastic. Holy shit.

I don't even know how I'm going to survive the weekend at this point.

 

[viveks86]

20 bosses? Confirmed? Been traveling the past 2 days and haven't followed these threads closely.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Oh God. Why can't it be the 23rd already? My digital preorder is ready to go and I have ride preparations for Tuesday.

 

[Primethius]

20 bosses? Confirmed? Been traveling the past 2 days and haven't followed these threads closely.

I've seen numbers range from 15 to 30 at this point.

 

[Zaventem]

Trophies are leaked. Trophies bosses are listed....

 

[RoyaleDuke]

30 bosses?

HOLY SHIT.

 

[Primethius]

30 bosses?

HOLY SHIT.

Again, I don't think that's necessarily true. I think that number was thrown out by the redditor who might have been counting mini-bosses.

 

[viveks86]

I just counted the trophies with the word "Defeat" in it (without reading the names). Comes to 16

 

[SargerusBR]

Trophies are leaked. Trophies bosses are listed....

Not all bosses though. Cleric Beast and the CD bosses have no trophies

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Trophies are leaked. Trophies bosses are listed....

Some bosses that are on wiki are not listed in the trophy list from what I have found.

 

[Primethius]

So, I'm guessing we won't know an exact count until a bit after release, given hidden bosses and what not.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Some bosses that are on wiki are not listed in the trophy list from what I have found.

So we can assume, if bosses like Cleric Beast aren't counted, that the trophies listed are for major bosses whilst Cleric is a mini boss? If we assume that there's a mini boss before a major boss than that would easily mean 32 bosses..

 

[RoyaleDuke]

I bet once the guide gets into someones hands early we'll probably know the official boss count, I remember one of the interviews that said that Bloodborne had double the amount of content of Demon's Souls.

 

[viveks86]

So, I'm guessing we won't know an exact count until a bit after release, given hidden bosses and what not.

So we know for a fact that it is 18 or above (counting the cleric beast and "the CD bosses", whatever that is)

So we can assume, if bosses like Cleric Beast aren't counted, that the trophies listed are for major bosses whilst Cleric is a mini boss? If we assume that there's a mini boss before a major boss than that would easily mean 32 bosses..

Cleric beast is a mini-boss?!

 

[HORRORSHØW]

chalice dungeon bosses. but aren't they just taken from the main game?

 

[Super Stardust]

Does anyone know if this thing is an actual boss in the game or is it just there for looks?

 

[RealityPales]

16 sounded like a great number to me - but now that we know that actually excludes some actual bosses like Cleric Beast and sub bosses, I love that range.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Yip I can see that

Ancient Guardian Dog

[Kevin Shields]

Hey can you take off blood on this?

 

[Skatterd]

Yeah....about that...

 

[HORRORSHØW]

good to know that there are exclusive bosses. hopefully exclusive loot, too.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Yeah....about that...

I don't think anything changed, we've barely seen anything and we keep getting conflicting reports due to the fact the game is so huge.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

It's possibly

Spoiler

a covenant 'leader'

 

[Zaventem]

Not all bosses though. Cleric Beast and the CD bosses have no trophies

I did say trophy bosses, not all bosses. I'm very well aware. Dark Souls also had non trophy bosses.

 

[AmethystEnd]

Again. I've said this three times now, but for people worried about boss count because of the damn trophy list, according to the trophy list, Dark Souls 1 only has 6 bosses.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Holy fudge the 3rd boss looks damn amazing and the OST is fantastic

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Again. I've said this three times now, but for people worried about boss count because of the damn trophy list, according to the trophy list, Dark Souls 1 only has 6 bosses.

Exactly, I know for a fact that DS1 has way more than six bosses. DS1 is actually pretty content packed for a game of its ilk and most of all the content is fantastic with exception to the Bed of Chaos and Lost Izylith.

 

[Skatterd]

I don't think anything changed, we've barely seen anything and we keep getting conflicting reports due to the fact the game is so huge.

I more meant the fact that the guide is delayed to April 14 to include 128 more pages of game changes heh.

 

[Beelzebufo]

That's probably the Chalice Dungeons then if I had to guess.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Oh wow, that's nuts I didn't know that.

So the game will launch without the guide? Welp, well looks like we will all be floundering about just as before.

Fantastic!

 

[Pwn]

From what I heard it's

a NPC you can deal with.

That really is fantastic, I didn't realize that's why it was delayed haha.

You mean

actually trade/talk?

 

[viveks86]

It might just be 16, guys. I think Cleric beast is referred to by a different name in the trophy (

Spoiler

Vicar Amelia

). The CD bosses show up in the story at some point. Having said that, there could still be hidden bosses.

Ended up reading all the names just so I could verify :/

Still came away knowing nothing about any of them. Such vague names!

Holy fuck these bosses are made of my childhood nightmares from watching late night anime on Toonami. .
