Stay at his feet, Dodge through his attacks, Not away, use charged R2 when you get an opening. Shooting his head and visceral attacking him is good, but don't over rely on it staying close and dodging thru his attacks is best. Regular chip damage will take him down surprisingly well. Staying at range plays into his best attacks.
What level, equipment and strategies did you use?

Ok this is bs. After you kill boss 3, how do you safely reach the bottom of that new tower without falling?
Some questions from a Souls vet after a couple hours.
What's the deal with combos? Just swinging in the air, I can sometimes follow my hammer R2 with two R1s, but sometimes I can't. Is the timing super precise now?
Do bosses no longer provide any special drop? I rarely used boss souls or weapons, but liked the lore on them.
Also, do bosses drop way less blood than previous games? Killed Father what's his name and only had 2000 blood after. If so, huge economic change since I normally rely exclusively on boss rewards to upgrade my character.
Can all moves be gun parried or no? Most of the moves I've successfully parried have huge openings, so they kind of feel like a special category.

I need help. I haven't fought the first boss yet and
I was right before the boss on the bridge with the werewolves. I decided to take a left cause I thought there was a shortcut somewhere in that area. I ended up in a sewer and then a church like place, and found the Saw Cleaver. But I'm nervous as shit, I got all these echoes and still havent found the checkpoint. Where is it?

Found my first real mystery here...
If you keep a keen eye out when grabbed by that invisible arm mentioned last page or two, you notice it's actually a gigantic, barely visible, scary as balls creature. I took a side path away from the church in the Cathedral Ward and
Scary as hell - but I wonder what that room is?

wound up in what looked like a giant altar room with an altar that looked like the one you place the flame on in Dark Souls. Then I tried the giant door in the room - locked - only then I was grabbed by that creature again, and he's way easier to see in there. It's some gigantic barely visible lovecraftian scary as balls thing that snuffed the life out of me instantly.
No checkpoint, only shortcuts. You get to the first lamp after the first boss.

I'm afraid you are probably screwed. The only audio output options for PS4 are through HDMI or Optical Audio. It was designed for HDMI and it's unfortunate your TV doesn't accept that.
If you have headphones you can plug them into your controller to play but I'm afraid in 2015 you are really going to need a TV with an HDMI input.
The other option is buying standalone speakers or home theatre that accept optical audio and connecting them to your PS4.

So when am I am supposed to parry father's second phase? Cuz he just powers right through my parry. Killed cleric 1st try but this guy is kicking my ass.
Woah, that's interesting, totally missed this. Do you remember where exactly this path was?
I believe you're full and they go to storage.

I think I might be stuck. Info on whereabouts:
7% Trophy completion question
I got the boss down and I got the chalice. Went to the Hunter's Dream and loaded the dungeon. Is that part of the main story? I finished the first layer, but left on the second. I am wondering am I to go to the Church? I fought through that mob a few times now. I'm now to open that door for 10k right?
Did you manage to cap a screenshot?
It's for the PS Camera.

protip: look at the "show us your bloodborne hunter" thread; some real gems in there
You have to get to a house with two floors, it's near that sewer entrance you fell in. Then up to the second floor and back ... The you open up the left gate by the first lamp.
Holy crap, the cleric beast is no joke! I think I'm going to have to by molotovs to get past it, cause I'm barely scratching that thing. Once I get it to half health, it goes ballistic and I can't find an opening to attack without taking a few hits myself. Going to have to sleep on this one and try again later.

I'm literally going to grind to get max Molotovs and blood vials and increase my health bar before I go back and try to fight the CB
I feel like I get in a good rythym and then there are instances where it feels like he is locked onto me and I cannot escape.

Just keep behind him. That's all you gotta do. Lock on and stay on his ass.
Haven't played too much, but just finished my second real session.
I had a few possible ways to move forward so naturally I explored them all. Very gratifying to see all the pieces falling into place and the locations tie together. Sorely missed this kind of level design in Dark Souls 2.
Very happy with the game so far.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Oh, I had no idea... gonna look it up as soon as I'm done here...Damn. I see it's installed now though, that's good news
BTW to get your videos to archive, you need to enable it in the Twitch settings on your PS4, as well as on your Twitch account settings on your PC.
Kind of dumb that it doesn't save by default

I'm so lost, lol. Is it past the place where a dog was barking at a door and lady asked you about a safe place?
So in the area after the
there's a
type thing. No big deal, easy enough to avoid. There's
that leads to it though and I really want to kill the jerk up there. Any tips? When I get up there I get absolutely slaughtered lol. I need sweet sweet revenge.

Fusing a blood gem for the first time. When the effect says "HP continues to recover +1" what does that mean?

In the Cathedral area,
past the large, tough enemy with the ball and chain there's an area with many urns and a chest at the end, and a door. Any idea how to open or where it leads?

Run over, ignore the other hunter, bring health with you, and push him off his ledge. There's a ladder down there. You just need to go off to your right when he first starts to shoot and follow that path all the way over there. Stay behind cover, but you should make your way over to his position. You'll realize it once it goes from heavy fire to none at all the closer you get. You should see it. The path is right under him. Look off at a clearing and you'll see either a path or a safe spot you can drop down on the far right where the Lizard or ??? was.

Cheese it.
As soon as you get up there, lock on and just keep shooting him. He'll fall off the edge. Come back after you reset the world through a lamp and his gear will be there.

spam your gun, you can knock him off. The item will be below, if you can't get it load back in and it should be at the top. Thats what I did.

There has to be a solution. I don't want to buy a new TV when I just bought a PS4. Does a cable with aux input and with the red and white things not exist?
