Holy Shit, the first OT is at the halfway mark.

This is the third OT.

Check the third headstone in dream refuge. You should be able to go back.

You rule, thanks.

 

[IndustryX]

That feeling when the game finally clicks for you. So so good I love this.

 

[skLaFarebear]

The cane is all show and no damage. Luckily I just unlocked the axe at the vendor.

Not to happy with the cane either. Its damage was painfully low against the CB. I won't upgrade it anymore and just switch to whatever skill weapon i find next.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

First boss down on first try! Only used

Spoiler

+2 Threaded Cane and couple of blunderbuss shots

, no Molotovs.

 

[Turdburger]

So four bosses down and

the price for everything in the store is higher

?!?

Is this permanent? Is there something I can do about it? Please don't tell me what If so.

I only have 3 down and everything doubled I think so yeah. WTF lol

 

[Toxi]

To be fair, every weapon has pitifully low damage against the CB, axe included. From was obviously expecting people to use critical attacks against him.

 

[Soriku]

With this I learned that contrary to other Souls games, a Double KO isn't automatically your loss! My blood echoes were waiting for me in the boss room and I got the item correctly before the end of the death screen.

I like this change.

They actually did this? Shocking.

 

[Primethius]

Worked perfectly thank you. So I take it cheesing is a viable and valid way to defeat enemies in these games. I would normally frown on this but fuck, this game is hurting my feelings how hard it is.

Don't worry. I beat three bosses, went back and still got wrecked by those dudes as I was trying to get some vials.

 

[ThisOne]

Ugh, Cleric Beast is a pain in the ass. Should I lock on or not? He keeps doing a huge leap and hits me three times with powerful attacks. Doesn't seem dodgeable. I shoot him in the face twice and whack him a couple times after that but then my bullets seems to do nothing after that point.

I think it is tied to your level.

What level were you after beating the 4th boss? I'm struggling and feel underpowered

 

[Pirabear]

How come sometimes nothing happens when you click on a specter/bloodstain?

Yeah the cane is annoying. In whip form it has barely any impact and attacks slow, in cane form it's mediocre.

They're broke.

I like how the cane feels in terms of animations and the range is quite nice, but I don't know how the damage feels compared to other weapons. I might wait before upgrading anything and try out other weapons as I find/buy them.

I'm at 30 right now and struggling super hard w/ 4th boss so I'm thinking leveling might help some

 

[KingHenrik30]

Settle in, get comfy, try not to get frustrated and soak it all up. It all comes in time.

Oh I know, I expected it so I'm not that frustrated but still...Dammmmmmmmnnnnn

 

[TimeEffect]

Estus, if only because I didn't ever accidentally use them all up because I kept thinking triangle was the two-hand grip button. That and Blood vials are just a matter of farming to keep a constant supply and Estus was a hard limit that didn't require grinding to maintain.

Hm good point about farming.

 

[rNilla]

How do you unlock it?

I think it's from getting the Saw Hunter Badge which is in the area next to the

giant boar

. May not be available until after defeating the second boss.

Try getting in real close and strafe around to backside. If you get hit, regen health by attacking.

 

[Kinsei]

What? The whip is amazing for handling groups. My only complaint with it is that if you attack after a dodge you do a stupid heavy attack.

pushed the guy off his post lol

Are the Bold Hunter's Marks easy to find?

Spoiler

I'm in werewolf hell at the moment

 

[Tengrave]

How come sometimes nothing happens when you click on a specter/bloodstain?

Asuming that's just the game not getting the data right. I was 1-4 on summons today. It keep "losing connection to the server. Retuning to main screen."

[MattyG]

Motherfucker. MOTHERFUCKER. I had the cleric beast down to 20% health and was about to finish it when he just jumped, slammed down on me even though I dodged, and took all my health.

One more time. I've gotta get it this time.

 

[rNilla]

Not to happy with the cane either. Its damage was painfully low against the CB. I won't upgrade it anymore and just switch to whatever skill weapon i find next.

I love the cane except for the part where it feels like I am gently caressing bosses.

I stuck by the side of his smaller arm and locked on to his lower half. As with all Souls game, you gotta let go of the lock-on sometimes. I spammed roll when he did his jump attacks and I managed to bring him down. Gotta abuse the regain mechanic.

 

[_h8bit]

Trying to use a Beckoning Bell for the fourth boss but it has yet to match me with anyone after like 10 minutes. It's launch day, i feel like this shouldn't be a problem. Anyone having any luck with this?

 

[Steel]

What? The whip is amazing for handling groups. My only complaint with it is that if you attack after a dodge you do a stupid heavy attack.

It also has decent range(especially with the heavy), but I find the normal cane form a safer way to handle big groups because it actually has a reasonable amount of impact and attack speed.

 

[ironcreed]

Found my way into

Old Yharnam

with around 14k echoes and decided to make my way to

Spoiler

gatling gun man

, only to get destroyed by him and some other hunter looking NPC. Now I have to venture back in order to try and retrieve my echoes. Oh boy.

But on the side, I want to ask again. Where do I go after defeating Father G.? Am I in the right place?

 

[Fhtagn]

I was probably level 35 or so? I dunno. I went to the fourth boss after exhausting seemingly every possible other place I could go, and then I killed it on the first try. I also think my grueling experience against the third boss (easily 15-20 attempts) properly trained me to fight this one with ease.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Getting ready to start. Cane/agility or axe/strength? Never played Souls before.

 

[Finalow]

where is Alfred/the password?

also did anyone buy the "bolt resistence" set for the

Spoiler

Prison boss? DARKPEERL or whatever.

I wonder if it's worth 6 points of Insight.

 

[blackflag]

The cane is all show and no damage. Luckily I just unlocked the axe at the vendor.

Hmm interesting. I just switched from axe to cane to try it out and I'm loving it. So fast.

Axe was good too though.


I think I skipped the first boss and ended up trying to fight the second boss first......it was Father something

 

[schlongdog]

I'm at 30 right now and struggling super hard w/ 4th boss so I'm thinking leveling might help some

I'm 31, I'm just not sure how to go about trying to level, I can't think of any places that will get me a lot of souls baring in mind it takes 5000 to go one level now...

[Jarmel]

This 2nd boss is such horseshit.

 

[Turdburger]

Cane seems generally shitty

I feel like Dex builds will eventually hit their stride at higher levels though

 

[skLaFarebear]

Yeah the cane is annoying. In whip form it has barely any impact and attacks slow, in cane form it's mediocre.

I also hate how the whip bangs off walls and stuns you. And in an area with a lot of tight corridors, its pretty bad, even if the cane's moveset is decent.

I am however liking the saw spear.

 

[Spoo]

Getting ready to start. Cane/agility or axe/strength? Never played Souls before.

I like the cane a lot, but if you're looking for an easier time axe.

 

[Dubz]

Got to the Cleric and took him to 33% health before dying.

Spoiler

Seems weak to fire but I only had one Molotov. Time to farm for for Molotovs.

 

[skLaFarebear]

This. He also gets stunned after taking a few hits as well. If you need to heal, that'd be your time to do it.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Axe owns everything, go 2-handed and trash those mobs easily.

 

[boredofcanada]

So crazy how I get stuck for a day in same loop and then on my first try after work I kill the first two bosses on the same life. Walked away with 11,000 souls. Like what the fuck?

 

[Kard8p3]

so uh what is the boss order? Im asking because I just fought V

[falconxcrunner09]

Does anyone have any tips for a From Software noob? I spent one hour on the second area, central something, and I didn't get anywhere. Furthest I got was to the bonfire and I get slaughtered by everyone.

Any tip would be great. I am lost.

 

[Anth0ny]

yeah so I've played and completed Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and Dark Souls II... I can't play this fucking game until they fix these load times. my god. PAINFUL.

 

[InternHertz]

Mind sharing what level you were when you killed her? Been ahving trouble with her

I was somewhere around 30, because I stopped two hours later and I was 33 then.

Currently stuck on this one. Took down the third boss on the first try, about to try for the 10th time or so on the fourth :/

VA is my third one

 

[Turdburger]

I'm 31, I'm just not sure how to go about trying to level, I can't think of any places that will get me a lot of souls baring in mind it takes 5000 to go one level now...

Yep same. Blah

 

[Foffy]

Any tips at getting past the two werewolves in the 'tutorial'? They have killed me about 5 times now. :/

 

[therealminime]

So I've been playing a good deal of it. I am very new to this series, only dabbled a bit with 2. I'm making good progress, managed to get the boss down to near dead on my second try, which is cool. Doing lots and lots of exploring. But I have encountered an issue. I'm stuck. I've reloaded and this is where I am. I was able to walk in and cannot walk out, is there a way to warp back to base?
