Trying my best at the cleric beast. I went with the professional build with cane and blunderbuss. So far I don't really like the shooting mechanic yet. Window seems to unforgiving and, on top of that, bullets are pretty sparse. I don't think I'm in love with the cane either, so I hope I get my warped twin blades soon.

And I've already searched the thread for help on cleric beast, but I must ask again: am i doing something wrong? It takes ages. I've managed to get him down to 50 percent health,
and I notice that when I hit his right arm I do double damage.
But holy shit the camera is shit in this fight. It is actually hampering my ability to properly hit his arm. I've tried shooting him but that has not worked so far either.
Don't focus on the arm, just take whatever hits you can get. If you have any molotovs, use them.

Also make sure you're using the whip form of the cane and dont lock on unless you want to shoot it in the face.
 
How do I use the beckoning bell? I've rang it at the entrance to the Father boss with the shotgun, but I'm not coming up with anything. How does it work.

I do have the GAF password in as well.

You ring it an if someone has the corresponding bell they'll answer.

I'm heading over there, if you're still around in 5 minutes I'll lend you a hand.
 
Anyone else beat the first werewolf bare fisted? I thought at first you wouldn't be able to, it took me a couple min to kill him and I was able to make it to the first lantern without dying.

Loving the fast dodging and rolling. No more fat roll!

Don't bother using your gun on cleric beast. Just take like 5 minutes or so to watch his moveset. There are only a few attacks that are worth taking advantage of. Bring molotovs also. I tihnk the first one you use on him will stagger and you can get a finishing move on his face. The fight can take a while, but it's easy to avoid his attacks. Did it on my second try with only 1 blood vial, but it was long.
 
Really not liking the new coop system. I have wasted insight to ring the bell and nobody ever joins. I prefer the Souls way of putting down signs so I can actually see if anybody is nearby,
 
Another shitty padded envelope from Amazon checking in here, going straight back. Really getting tired of their garbage packaging.
 
Having done two layers of one Chalice Dungeon, I think they're fantastic so far. It's a different kind of gameplay, like a dungeon crawler. I love it!
 
How much do you have downloaded Yosh?
15,5 out of 30GB

Going at a blazing 800-1000mb per hour.

3 ½ hour till launch, so I'll be at around 19 out of 30GB when it's time for me to play. Will this be an issue?

Oh geez. Lol.

It's different for every game so I'm not sure at what point it'll yell at you to install more....all I can say is there's been very few games where my progress was halted due to installation progress.

Best of luck hunting sir!
 
i have discovered a new difficulty level

Regular
New Game +
Not Playing the Game and Trying to Actually Work While Working at Home

the true Demon's Souls began for me at 8am
 
Of all games to be late it had to be this one. They credited me back $9.55 but still it hurts.

I've been hyped as fuck for this day for months now.

Where did $9.55 come from, just some random number? I edited my last post too late, but for me they just extended Prime by a month, which is pretty insignificant.

I swear to god, there's always an issue with me and release games. If this ends up becoming the issue, I'll fucking rip my own heart out. I want to have 8 hours of efficient game-time before I head to college... none of this "hold on while it's downloading, silly hunter"-bullshit.

Actually, all of this is because Sony was too fucking lazy unlocking the game for EU. US got to unlock it like what, 4 days before launch? Who is in charge of EU? Apes?
 
I missed the first boss and went way further than I was supposed to without leveling / laterns. When I figured out where it was and traveled back to get it I was woefully unprepared.

Loving it so far. The shortcuts especially.

Not locking on is shit. I can't see what he's doing. When do I shoot face?

This camera. Man.
 
I am literally completely stuck on
blood starved beast
is there anything else I can do on that level instead first?

Hey brother! Welcome to my world.

If you guys want to, you can use the strategy I found that unfortunately makes that fight trivially easy:

Strategy spoilers that makes the third/fourth boss easy!
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 don't think there's anybody in the world that deserves to play this sucker right now, as much as you. Man this'll be the best night of your life haha. Can't wait for your reactions. And suffering.

I kept that in mind.
I'm using threaded cane +3. If I manage to hit him/her/it, there's always a follow-up slash I can't seem to dodge. So I just burn through Vials, and when the poison comes I am fubared. Even if I'm in front of it like the first phase, it starts doing multihit combos all the time
 
Haven't really been paying much attention to the upgrade/downgrade talk but the first glaringly obvious thing I noticed on Twitch is that there doesn't seem to be any ground shadows. Kind of disappointing.

pack up your PS4 and find a better connection to hitch your wagon to!
 
Wow
Vicar Amelia
is kicking my ass hard. any tips?

You got the GAF code enabled? I can lend you a hand, completely after that fight and got nothing better to do.

I managed to cancel her heal with a fully charged heavy attack, but not consistently.

My connection is nowhere near 1000mb per hour. It's just that Sony's servers seems to be absolute shit right now.
 
The hunter operating the machine gun fell from the tower during our fight(I totally didn't push him over on purpose >__> ), and now his item is bugged, I can see it, but it's stuck in mid air high above the ground, way outside my reach.
What is it, is it any good?
 
OK this for the beginning.. Help and advice
How do I beat the wolves? Moltovs? And how much further until the next Lantern?

I'm feeling good and breezing to the part when I'm fucking myself. Le sigh
 
As someone who is level 63...im wanting to have some fun helping people out.

I purchased the small bell required to help people but now what?

1) I went into yharnham in rang it ( central yharnham ) and nothing happened. It was searching but it never connected.

2) do I loose insight when I offer help?\

3) is the bell I purchased a one time thing? or do I need to purchase another one every time I offer help?

4) does it help ANYONE or strictly someone close to my level?

5) what do I gain from doing it?

6) do I simply warp in the other players game then warp back to mine? everything untouched on my side of things?
 
I'm pretty sensitive to them, so yeah for me. It's hitchy as hell in the starting area. Maybe it gets better later

The frame rate is not very good... Basically, it feels just as janky as the past games without the serious slowdowns but doesn't really bother me (almost like at this point it's part of these games).
