We have to beat the first boss

Then something changes in the dream

Technically, you need to face the first boss in order to get 1 level of Insight. Having 1 Insight is what allows you to talk to the doll to level up.

 

[Finalow]

Wait I thought that in Old Yharnam

Spoiler

the Black Church set stopped the dude from gatling gunning you. He's still shooting the fuck outta ma.

you need to get and equip those clothes before "invading" his territory, I think. I did the same and went to him before getting the set.

 

[Machinehead]

Maybe open up some ports on your router? That may help, especially if you don't have an open NAT.

Yeah, you can kill NPCs. Probably not a good idea for your first playthrough.

Thanks for the tip and link! I'll try that!

Thankfully, it was the one in the dark house tintin mentioned, so I'm OK for now; thanks for the heads up =D


SnakeXs, I'll use it when the need arises then; thanks!

 

[SnakeXs]

Where is that first path? I can only find that frenzy part lol which I hate lol.

When you first make your way down the ridge, there's a tunnel near the, I believe, first 4 legged beast.

 

[Gaz_RB]

What object do I need to jump in and help other people? I've got the one that calls people.

 

[D1renegade]

Try kiting them back down into the room. Have fun.

Fire works well!

Have a torch? shove them back with a torch a couple of times, does decent damage, then mess them up

Alright, the biggest thing is to be aggressive and dodge, backstep and the lock on help a lot but learning to switch between that is a huge boon to you.

One two smacks? great, dodge back off to get some stamina while still looking for openings.

The key thing about these fights is that hitboxes are tight, in fact when you get to the

Spoiler

cleric beast

you

Spoiler

can roll through his attacks and legs to get behind him for an attack. Being NImble is key here, these werewolves train you for the

Spoiler

Cleric

.

If you go by the house with the dude in the wheelchair, you can get to them by the second floor, attract them, go back to the building, then cheese them from inside the building. They can still hit you tho.

Thanks for the tips. I'll try these later tonight.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Fuck.

Question about where he is spoiler.

Spoiler

he is across the bridge where the 2 wolves are right?

That's what I think. And I stand corrected by everyone haha.

Spoiler

Big axe hug man is so easy if you shoot him

 

[Santiako]

Hey all I just beat the third boss and got wrecked by the bag guys. Now I can't get back to

Spoiler

the unseen village no matter how many times the bag guy kills me. What's going on?

I know it's further in the game than where I probably should be by I want to explore for loot.

You can go from the dream, use the other tombstone.

 

[105.Will]

The second boss is kicking my ass.

Spoiler

I keep running into the enviorment during his second form.

 

[Marcel]

Meet the first boss, then talk to the Doll at the Dream

I didn't meet the first boss but leveling was unlocked when I teleported back with the Hunter's Mark so this isn't necessarily true.

 

[SixStringPsycho]

So besides the weapon in the OP are there more. I mean, Im okay with it being those but like different variation of them. Or is it those weapons and leveling them up?

 

[Kuni]

CAN'T WAIT!

Anyone know when the EU server come online?

 

[Cirekiller]

You can go from the dream, use the other tombstone.

Ah got it! Thanks!

 

[HIR0]

I'm going back to Bloodborne in a minute, I'm very much a noob, but you can watch me @ http://www.twitch.tv/diehaard

I'm gonna try explore up to 1st boss

You're getting murdered by the fatty with the brick lol.
When he falls to his knees from your gunshot this is the cue for you to perform a visceral/charge attack.

 

[Mdk7]

Strategy spoilers that makes the third/fourth boss easy!

Spoiler

For the Blood-starved Beast, stay locked-on and in front of it. It will always do a single or dual slash, both which are easy to quick step backwards from. At the end of each slash, hit it once or twice with an extended weapon. I used Saw Cleaver and it was trivially easy this way.

I love you, LOL.

 

[super-famicom]

Bloodborne definitely has more than 6 weapons, despite what you may have read on GAF.

 

[Kama_1082]

Spoiler

You know the area with the crows and that big dude who is banging on the wall? If memory serves, there is an area on the left filled with crates and stuff. Destroy those, and that will uncover a drop down with some of the beasts In a cage. Follow the path into the house and go up the stairs

I can't find it

 

[SnakeXs]

There's what, 4 melee weapons in the OP?

I currently have

Spoiler

10. So yes, there's plenty more.

 

[robotzombie]

Does the Greatsword have a good moveset? Is it a worthwhile STR weapon?

 

[Stone Ocean]

There's way more. The weapons in the OP are just the stuff you get early

 

[ProvenDeadly]

I can't find it

Do you know where the area with the crows is?

 

[JimPanzer]

damn, the hunter with the raven armor seems to disappear after some progress, he's not where he's supposed to be. anyone knows of an alternative way to get the armor and weapon?

 

[Gaz_RB]

The second boss is kicking my ass.

Spoiler

I keep running into the enviorment during his second form.

Spoiler

a lot of my strat with that one was to just run away until he did one of those long frenzy combos, and then swoop in for one hit before running again. Lock on can get you in trouble there, so when you're retreating be sure to not be locked on and actually look where you're going.

 

[Elysium-777]

Managed to beat the Cleric Beast on my first try. Felt nice.

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Spoiler

If I'm going into the sewers around were that giant pig is without finding the first boss, have I gone too far? On that bridge their were a few different options on where to go and I headed to the sewers, just seems like a long way without hitting a boss.

 

[Gaz_RB]

I can't find it

Spoiler

It's on the other side of the werewolf bridge. Don't fight the werewolves, just cross to the other stairs and go down there.

 

[Kama_1082]

Do you know where the area with the crows is?

Yeah, I'm there. I just killed the stone dude.

 

[T_Exige]

Just played the first 15min can't wait for the first boss.

Spoiler

the boss is on the bridge with the werewolves. Another boss is up the ladder to the right of the pig's tunnel. Either can be done first.

 

[Ethelwulf]

This are only questions:

Spoiler

do you mean the female hunter? If so could you remind me what was the second item she gives you by engaging in a conversation with here twice? Also did you attack her? I did and I'm worried this might end IP being bad news...

 

[D Bo Chops]

Man, my hands get sweaty! Say goodbye to my brand new DualShock stick rubber. Sweat and oil makes those things disintegrate!

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Any of you around lvl 18 in Old Yharnam? I need help beating down that hunter on top of the roof shooting his turret. Guy has a shogun and is crazy quick.

 

[robotzombie]

Couple of questions:

1. How do you equip runes?

2. How do equip those messenger dress up items?

3. How do you open the locked door at the top of the cathedral workshop?

4. How do you make chalice dungeons? I have a Chalice already

 

[ShemhazaiX]

Quick question, and I want the vaguest answer possible because I want to go into the game as blind as possible when it unlocks for me Thursday midnight:

Do we know what the Beasthood stat does yet? If we do how awesome is it? Don't actually tell me what it actually is though. If that makes sense.

 

[yamo]

Pre-order bought, waiting for midnight now!

 

[tintin1029]

Is there any reason to use the second form of the saw cleaver at all besides guard breaking.

It's just so slow.

 

[DarthWalden]

Just purchased this!

Never played a souls game and I've only watched maybe 5 minutes of video tops so I'm going in blind but I love challenging shit.

 

[Kama_1082]

FUCK just died at the werewolves

 

[Ellite25]

You can just fight the first boss. I haven't beatrn him yet but after I fought hom the "doll" woke up and allows me to level up.

You dont have to beat it, just see it. Seeing grossly inhuman things causes insight to build, that lets you "see" things clearly.

 

[super-famicom]

More reach, so you can attack from a safer distance.

 

[HoJu]

This game is a great game and all, but holy shit are the load times painful. Like, it's a seriously problem with the game. It never bothered me with Demon's Souls or Dark Souls, but for this it does. For a game that is designed around you dying constantly, they really fucked up.

I'm really enjoying the game, but this is a game that should be designed with load times being non-existent. Really disappointing.

 

[Nose Master]

Anyone find any invisible walls?

 

[Xeroblade]

Just purchased this!

Never played a souls game and I've only watched maybe 5 minutes of video tops so I'm going in blind but I love challenging shit.

If you love the challenge why not the other souls games as well?

 

[AmethystEnd]

First boss down with Threaded Cane, without leveling up.

As Professional though, so not completely gimped.

uhh which

Spoiler

female hunter?

. I meant the guy in one of the rooms of the area which leads to the sewers in yharnam. only saw it on a stream.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

One thing I will say is that the combat is great. One thing that made me instantly dislike DS2 was what I felt was "shit" combat.

Awesome! That's what I'm going with.
