I never found it either. You should be fine. Have some Molotovs for when he's down to 25-30% health.

There's a staircase in that area. Get him up there. It makes the fight easier

WOOO. I BEAT HIM. Thanks guys.

 

[Beelzebufo]

How reliable is the summoning bell? I tried it twice and nobody came to my aide.

I don't think enough people have the other item yet haha.

I'd also appreciate info on where the

for the second boss is.

 

[Steel]

I just made it to the mansion in the first level without dying, and it feels like a major feat! I still did not find any lamps or gates to the first spawn area. I'm scared

Did I miss anything?

You haven't missed anything yet. You're close though.

[Parakeetman]

I assume blood echoes taken from you reset if you die again without killing that enemy. Correct?

yes

 

[Beaulieu]

bosses with help from coop partners sure are easy
after soloing dark soul on my first playthrough, this is a cakewalk

 

[GulAtiCa]

Yeah. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm to the cathedral ward where the days are getting darker now

This game man. Speechless. Gorgeous skyboxes. The atmosphere is just absolutely perfect. These enemy designs and FOR FUCKS SAKE THESE LEVEL DESIGNS!!!!

absolutely floored with this game.

 

[Primethius]

I've been able to connect pretty successfully in helping others online. Make sure you guys don't have a password set and also have it set to Worldwide. Sometimes it takes longer but I've been able to assist out.

*tiptoes*

 

[Deku Tree]

I am still stuck in the first area of central yarnham... How do I get out? I keep dying....

 

[Karsticles]

You did... you get your first weapon at the very beginning of the game after you die for the first time. On the steps in the hunters dream there are 3 "bloodstains" (or w/e they are in this game) that let you pick your weapons.

Maybe like... 5 minutes into the game. ;-)



Sure was!

It also in the "I'm playing a new Souls game for the first time so I'm going to test all the buttons and see what they do" that you missed. ;-)

*Mind Blown*

Was this in one of the tutorial tips that I just missed?

Hunter's Dream. The things on the ground will let you pick one I think.

Oh, thanks guys. I was surviving too well.

 

[ricelord]

Yeah. Any help would be appreciated.

ok coming lol

 

[BadAss2961]

yes

Thanks.

One more thing, do bosses take your blood echoes?

 

[Typomancer]

After some more time with it, Ludwig’s Holy Blade (the greatsword) is fun to use since its two modes are so different, but the Hunter’s Axe is definitely more useful in PvE because of its excellent reach and moveset.

Disappointing because I’m a huge fan of big swords in the Souls games.

I just youtubed to find it

 

[decoyplatypus]

Only had time to play about twenty minutes today. Created my character, unlocked my first shortcut, then had to shut down. Got that Souls itch going. May wake up early tomorrow to get some Bloodborne in before work.

 

[Primethius]

Where are you stuck exactly? Remember to be patient with the enemies. Fight one or two at most at a time. Use pebbles to attract one from a larger group. Be careful as you move around and try to remember enemy placements. Do not ignore the enemies and try to get a drop on them so you don't have to worry about them later.

 

[Beaulieu]

I was thinking about getting the cane but you guys are making me change my mind.
No cane love here ?!
I really wanna use the cane tho .

im using it. pretty rad.

 

[Kinsei]

I feel like I should ask: The sewer is on the right track towards the first boss right? Since you need to reach it to level up I don't want this to end up like Dark Souls where I ended up doing Blighttown before fighting the Belfry Gargoyles.

Ehhh nope. You have to go back.

 

[serenewarfare]

Anyone worrying about the Cane, I've used it through the first two bosses and I love it.

No, you've gone too far. Go back, to the bridge/highway with the wolves on it. On opposite side is the boss.

 

[Jobbs]

I find it interesting how easy it is to run through enemy spawns in this game. no enemies I've seen have followed for very long, so if you know where you're going you can pretty much just run straight there.

contrast this to dark souls, where any loose end will eventually catch up to you. not sure which I prefer. for bloodborne the game's hardcore enough maybe it's for the best.

Lol I was about to type same thing, I got the hunters outfit in the sewer, am I close to 1st Boss?

 

[RexNovis]

I see it, but the switch wont activate

It should. What does it do when you get in?

 

[bananafactory]

Just beat Father Gascoine in about 90 seconds flat

Piece of cake compared to Cleric Beast

I have 10 insight now - how do I get the other type of summoning bell? I heard there's a shop in the hub somewhere?

Edit: NVM found it

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Is everyone using gaf's special password in all caps? I've had that under network, and have the small resonant bell, and haven't been able to find anyone all night.

 

[Muscle Wizard]

Does anyone know the rules of the Small Resonant Bell? I am unable to ring it in the Cathedral Ward area. I haven't killed a boss there or in Old Yhrnam.

 

[TraBuch]

bosses with help from coop partners sure are easy
after soloing dark soul on my first playthrough, this is a cakewalk

So stop summoning partners?

 

[F0rneus]

5 bosses in and it's perfect. Axe and Cleaver. Pfft. Cane!!!! All the way!

There is a boss down that path, but not the first one most people fight.

You have to go into the house and then out the door to the left, the second messenger bath where you can buy the other bells is on a small ledge. And I was the same way with the Cleric Beast and the second boss. Wait until you get to the third boss… then the game truly begins.

Go into the mansion (Refuge), out the first left door, the merchant will be popping out of a fountain on your left.

I keep respawning at the top of the first ladder that I climbed. Then I keep dying trying to progress forward through the mobs.

How do you throw a pebble?

 

[Kinsei]

No, you've gone too far. Go back, to the bridge/highway with the wolves on it. On opposite side is the boss.

That's good to know. I would have continued on that way had I not asked.

On the bright side I have a ton of items that give me blood echoes for when I can level up!

Equip it and press square.

 

[Mechanized]

Almost did the same thing until someone here told me I was heading towards the second boss. The first is at

Spoiler

the end of the bridge where the two wolves are.

Holy shit lol. Thanks! I've been backtracking because I'm stuck on the 3rd? boss I guess and was wondering about a small area I skipped. He's freakin relentless. I guess I'll kill the first boss instead.

 

[RustyNails]

5 bosses in and it's perfect. Axe and Cleaver. Pfft. Cane!!!! All the way!

I made a dumb choice...should have gone for the cane

 

[Spoo]

So stop summoning partners?

Yeah. I ruined Dark Souls 2 for myself in hindsight by summoning for almost all of the bosses. Not doing that again for Bloodborne -- glad to help people, but for my first time I'm not about to do that unless I have hit an absolute brick wall.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Two Questions:

1. What do you do with runes?

2. How do you open the door at the top of the workshop area? The room with all the vases in it?

For those at the

cathedral ward, I saved a woman in Yharnam who showed up in the Ward and I then received an item called Triumph. But it's not in my inventory or elsewhere. What was this???

 

[RexNovis]

You need

Spoiler

10 Insight and then you can buy it from Messengers in the Hunter's Dream, along with other stuff, using Insight as currency. The bell itself costs 1 Insight but you need 10 to gain access to the shop (and you don't lose any of it).

Oh wow so that's what that thing is for. Well I have plenty now so I'll go check it out. Thanks!
