How do I know when my game is saved? Is it safe to just quit?

Yes.

 

[flipswitch]

Bosses don't respawn

Good to know. Thanks.

How do I know when my game is saved? Is it safe to just quit?

Yes, the game saves constantly. If you want to be safe just exit from SYSTEM after pushing OPTIONS.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Has this happened to anyone else? Spoilers for the first two boss fights:

Spoiler

I got a blood gem and made it to Father G without ever seeing the Cleric Beast.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Where exactly do I get skull of madness so I can get 10 points to co-op with my brother?

Hit start and system info(?) and end game.

The game gave me a warning when I just force-quit but it does background save.

I wrote a forum about this but now entering hour two with no health portions and i keep spawning in the same area with no drops and I keep getting killed all the time. I don't get the combat system to much and now i'm this game more annoying then fun or challenging. What should I do? I feel like I might return it.

The game autosaves constantly, so you can quit at anytime and pick up where you left off later.

 

[catspit]

Military Vet is good because if you don't like STR/SKI weapons you can easily switch back without losing much

Is this what you went with?

 

[Duxxy3]

Try parrying it

Have no problem damaging the boss. I can go no damage taken until the

AOE poison in stage 3

poison

. If it does dissipate, then I'm just not seeing it. It's constant below 33%.

 

[Bunta]

I love killing wheelchair man, lol.

 

[SRTtoZ]

BB beaitng League, holy shit lol

 

[GravyButt]

Excited/ nervous to jump into this tomorrow. I'm totally screwed aren't I?

 

[Sami+]

So I just killed Gascoigne. I'm using the Kirkhammer right now and heavily debating whether or not I want to upgrade it. Is there a better STR weapon coming up soon or should I go for it?

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Wow, I can't even make it to the first boss. Tonight is not my night.

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

This game is hard.

 

[Deku Tree]

Thanks!

Make a new character?

 

[the black pearl]

Did you try to talk to him the first time?

 

[gotstrangepowers]

Did you try yet to just run past everything?

 

[Astral]

Can you find the Repeating Pistol or should I just buy it?

 

[Draper]

Sorry, I know I'm repeating myself, but when the wheelchair dude says

Spoiler

to ascend the cathedral, is he referring to the tower with all the wheelchair gunmen?

Try farming blood echoes in an area then going back to dream land and buying vials with the muhknees.

 

[Ambient80]

Get REKT Father Assface!!! Hahaha, finally! I love this shit

 

[Get'sMad]

finally dark outside so now I can really get in the game's atmosphere.

 

[neoism]

Does the game keep track of how long you have played?

Yes but it stops at load screens just game play.... You can see it at the title screen on load game.

 

[Chittagong]

What possible logic can there be in the UK version unlocking a day later than the EU, surely it's the same exact SKU? It's going to be two-three more days for me.

 

[Projectjustice]

These loading times need to be patched ASAP!

 

[sixghost]

Without getting too specific, are the offhand weapons useful against bosses at all? I kept trying to use the pistol at different times against the first boss, and it felt like it never did anything.

 

[flipswitch]

Yes but it stops at load screens just game play.... You can see it at the title screen on load game.

I just click on continue, no wonder why.

 

[UnwrittenZero]

1st boss down on second attempt lvl 10 hunter axe +1 oh man this game!

 

[Stone Ocean]

Is this what you went with?

Military Vet + cane, yes

 

[Finalow]

where the fuck is ALFRED?

he left his usual spot.

 

[Windtrick]

Got my character stuck between two shelves and have to use the hunters mark to get out. Lost 4k echos :/

 

[saveweyard]

Is there a shortcut to the first boss?

 

[Solid Raiden]

I've played and beat many difficult games in my time but I can't can't get past the first thirty minutes of this game and I've tried for hours. Beyond bored with playing the same segment over and over again. Serious buyers remourse, and worse yet it's digital and I can't trade it in.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Did you try yet to just run past everything?

Well, sort of. I think I'm missing a shortcut from the lamp though, so I have to run through the rifle guys/giant mob each time.

Today was not a good day for me in general, I'll be more prepared and ready to destroy monsters tomorrow.

Hint: what works on normal enemies works on bosses too

Yes.

 

[dcassell]

Made a point to do this every time I walked to the boss.

"He might drop something!"

How do you use (not really a spoiler but just being safe)

Spoiler

expressions

?

 

[Brian_FETO]

I was under the impression that Cleric Beast was the first boss/you run into it easily.....I never found it, found Father G tho

Game is awesome but still figuring out the map layout lol. I've gotten several shortcuts but still not entirely sure of where to go

 

[MattyG]

I need tips for the

Spoiler

Cleric Beast. I'm having trouble, mostly because of the camera, but also because I suck right now.

 

[robotzombie]

Anyone know if Ludwigs holy blade is worthwhile as a main for a STR character?

Spoiler

Shoot him in the face a few times, he'll go down rip out an eye. Do some regular damage for abit then shoot him in a face again until he goes down, rip his other eye out. He's now blind

 

[spyder_ur]

Ummm....how do I equip weapons?

 

[BizzyBum]

Is there a shortcut to the first boss?

Yeah, that gate that's locked to the left of the second spawn point can be opened from the other side when you get close to the boss. I forget exactly how you get there though.

 

[Jafku]

Can anyone help me with the second boss? I rang the bell but no one has shown up

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

This just happened to me. I couldn't find the Cleric Beast for the life of me, then randomly stumbled upon the cutscene for the Father G fight.
