You have to have at least 10 insight and buy the small bell from the insight shop in the hunters dream. It only costs 1 insight.

ive played 4 hours and only have 1

 

[The Illiterati]

Starting over to try the cleaver was a mistake, hate it. Now I have to start over and get my cane back.

 

[Gaz_RB]

How do you co-op?

I got some bell but I'm not sure how it works.

So there is something called a "Beckoning Bell" that when you use it, it sort of "hosts" a game. Then, people in your area holding the other bell can use it and join your game. But also invaders. Think of it like activating the human mode in Dark Souls 1+2

Did I miss a lantern? I've gotten so far from where the last one yet. Is there a list of lanterns?

Yeah, there's a lantern accessible quite early. It's

I think it's just a bad translation or something. My TV is properly calibrated and making the beast invisible makes this look like an Xbox One game (crushed blacks everywhere). Default seems perfect to me - there are still very dark areas where it's hard to see anything without a torch.

Don't do that. Don't fuck up your entire tv's calibration just to make the beast invisible.

Mine is isn't invisible and the screen brightness and atmosphere looks fine.

Thanks!

 

[AngryMoth]

Much as the load times are wearing me down I must say the 3 bosses I've fought so far have all been fantastic

after second boss spoilers

Spoiler

i don't trust this slug person telling me to round everyone up

Spoiler

Nor do I but if it gets em out of there houses so at least its interesting. I mean, he's not gonna murder them all, right?

No multiple characters in this game?

 

[MilkBeard]

I've played and beaten DS1 and 2. I've played this game for about 4 hours and I can't get past the two werewolves on the bridge. Now, I'm not giving up cause I know how these games go, but man am I finding this beginning hump a hard one to get over.

I just ran past them after dieing several times to them. It worked for me. I went on to beat the boss.

 

[BriGuy]

If leveling is an issue just go straight to the boss and die, worry about shortcuts later

I can't make it that far

 

[xxracerxx]

Can't you just load that other game (the cane game)?

 

[aravuus]

Found my first shortcut too already. Loving the level design so far, and the atmosphere and fucking everything godddddddddamn

 

[super-famicom]

Did I miss a lantern? I've gotten so far from where the last one yet. Is there a list of lanterns?

Either you missed one, or you were very close to one but died before you could reach it. And there should be unlockable shortcuts in the world, to make traversing less of a pain. I haven't played the game yet, so I don't know where they all are.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I can't make it that far

How far exactly are you getting? Town square?

 

[Teknoman]

I need a workshop tool... where would I find that? I just finished second boss..

Not that table, the one closer to the front of the room.

 

[NastyBook]

40 MINUTES!!!!!!

 

[bananafactory]

I can't make it that far

You can literally run all the way to the boss without getting hit.

 

[mauaus]

Can't you just load that other game (the cane game)?

cant you eventually get the other weapons? or are you stuck with your choice for the whole game?

 

[Persona7]

Does anyone have a image of what the echoes look like when dropped on the floor? When I was playing earlier I am pretty sure I didn't see anything on the floor when I got them back randomly on two occasions.

 

[Xamdou]

So is this game easier than Dark Souls? I never got into DS because of people saying the difficulty factor was.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

How do you co-op?

I got some bell but I'm not sure how it works.



oh, cool, I figured it had to be something like that
Thx

Get 10 insight points. You can do this by finding items called skull of madness or something. Use them to get one point.

Then, in the hub world, there is a fountain where you can purchase a co-op bell where you can let yourself be summoned to aid others.

My first attempt at assisting somebody via Co-op. works pretty well.

 

[Codeblew]

Open the menu and select the slots below the Inventory (2nd row) You can equip your weapons there. First two slots are for your right hand trick weapon, last two are for your left hand gun.

Thanks! It was too obvious for me. lol. Welp, now time to kick some ares.

Spoiler

Or not...

 

[Namikaze1]

Just beat Father G with a random. On my first attempt. From the vid I recorded, the fight was less than a minute.

 

[Vitor711]

Could you like, not post and make me feel compeletely useless? xD

j/k though, good job not dying

Haha, to be fair - I am a Souls series Vet. I imported Demons' back before it had a release outside of Asia.

A lot of what I learned definitely applies here too so I'm falling back on a lot of experience. Still, I remember having a REAL rough time with the alpha so am wondering why I'm suddenly having such an easy time getting used to the systems.

Hell, I'm pretty much guaranteed an easy parry with all large enemies and bosses first try. Maybe the blunderbuss is OP? Who knows. I also tend to miss them a bit but, while nowhere near reliable as a shield, it doesn't feel like the huge risk/reward I expected either.

 

[The Illiterati]

Can't you just load that other game (the cane game)?

Heh, probably. For whatever reason I thought it would overwrite it, but now I remember these games don't do that!

 

[Karu]

There is a fucking storage in this game, omg. Well those echoes for some vail was poured down the drain. Waah.

 

[xxracerxx]

You can get the other weapons.

 

[Fedelias]

About to start the game, whats the consensus on starting weapons?

I'm at the elevator and the levers don't work and giant unbeatable guys ahead :/

 

[Greg]

does the game automatically save?

 

[HairyMonster]

is the kirkhammer worth getting? Im using the saw cleaver which ive upgraded to +3

 

[Duxxy3]

Load times are killing my farming.

Is there a second bell? Guess I don't have that one yet.

does the game automatically save?

Yep. It's just like the Souls games, it's basically constantly saving.

 

[neoism]

Just got the beckoning bell, know I need 10 insight to get the other bell. Is there a third bell to play privately using the codes?

Where is it I have 10 insight can't find it?

 

[SkylineRKR]

I lured them to where you enter the bridge, ran up the bridge again and down to the shortcut.

 

[xxracerxx]

does the game automatically save?

Yes...you can quit anywhere and it will put you right back when you start it up again.

Load times are killing my farming.

Patience.

If there's an enemy with glowing blueish eyes, he ate your blood stash. Kill him to get them.

 

[Game4life]

10 insight? how do i get more?

ive played 4 hours and only have 1

Use the item - Madman's Knowledge.

Glad that you dont have to just stay in the same spot lol.

 

[legacyzero]

Whats this shortcut everyone us ranting about?

Not that table, the one closer to the front of the room.

AH thank you! Not sure how I missed that.

EDIT: funny, I JUST found the item in question too lol

 

[neoism]

does the game automatically save?

Yes the game saves after every kill or inventory change.. Like an mmo

 

[super-famicom]

Where is it I have 10 insight can't find it?

Top right of the screen, under the Blood Echoes counter, is the Insight counter.

 

[Gaz_RB]

But how do I help others?.
Is there a second bell? Guess I don't have that one yet.

Yeah. There is a merchant in the Dream that sells the second bell. He is right outside the first door on your left when you walk in the house.

 

[Persona7]

They had an extra collectors edition available.

$20 for a steelbook, small artbook, and soundtrack?

Really? Seems really high.

Even more so when you remember that all that was included for free in launch editions of Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and Dark Souls II.

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Just beat Father on the second try. That was intense.

 

[neoism]

Top right of the screen, under the Blood Echoes counter, is the Insight counter.

Lol yes I mean the bell you get when you get 10 insight ?

 

[Dominator]

LOL did you roll into the sewer?

i was rolling around in those crates and saw a note from someone that said beware of rolling and immediately stopped

Nope, camera wasn't facing forward as I took a turn. I should have just kept going straight lol

 

[Sullichin]

Protip: you can loot a corpse while dead on the YOU DIED screen if you die on top of it.

Yep. It's just like the Souls games, it's basically constantly saving.

thank you!

Do you lose your insight when you die?

 

[Persona7]

If there's an enemy with glowing blueish eyes, he ate your blood stash. Kill him to get them.

I know that. I was asking about how they look when they drop on the floor and no enemy has picked them up.

I was playing earlier and I died so I went back to get them and I was walking around trying to find them and I suddenly got the alert that I picked them back up. No enemy was around. It then happened a second time when I was walking around a staircase.
