Is there a lamp closer to the Father what'sit in the graveyard. I open all the shortcuts but I don't want to travel all that way each time I screw this up.

You can run to Father G in 1-2 minutes. Head through the gate (shortcut) to the left of the lamp und run past by the two brick "giants" to the elevator and you are there (just from memory but it was really a short way if i recall it correctly)
 
Other things scale up as well, like the cost of some consumables on the vendor as well as the amount needed to level. I need 13k for just one level now and 1 hp pot costs over 500 for me.

You're gonna need about 8k echoes to level soon enough.

Yeah but I think going up 5-8 levels in a few hours plus all the blood gems you find add up. First thing I did was hit the stamina soft cap.
 
Shouldn't take you more than 3 big dudes/3-4 mins tops to get to him

TOO MUCH! lol


Also, I am losing my mind not having a shield. I know this works differently but I can't stand it. I think the gun is near useless. I never once parried an attach in any of the previous games and I really don't like using this.

I don't even get how it's supposed to work. Sometimes I shot a guy in his attack animation and he stops, the other %90 of the time they just keep attacking and get me because I used the gun. It needs to be consistent if I'm going to use it. I also think there is a major inconsistency in the dodge animation. Sometimes you can avoid an attack and sometimes you get hit with the attack anyways.

I feel like I can't make any battle plans, it's just hit dodge, hi dodge and hope I don't die : (
 
There are so many people playing this game on my friends list. Game's going to chart quite high I think.

I actually took a screenshot last night of my What's New feed, because it was literally 9+ tiles of Bloodborne... it wouldn't let me share it though. I suppose privacy limits (visible usernames)....
 
I really want to try this game, I love RPGs and playing games with a challenging aspect to it. I haven't played any of the Souls series, would I be able to do alright jumping into Bloodborne?
 
Did you open the shortcut
at the top of the tower in the town area with the werewolves on the way there? There is a drop down point directly right of the lamp that should take you 20 seconds or so to run there.

Wait there is a drop down by the bridge
where the first boss was
?
 
I thought it was funny that I killed the first werewolf no problem then had trouble with the later ones. I bet they are really easy if you just go for backstabs.

Also goddamn this thread moves fast. Anyone know what's up with the kirkhammer?

Don't think you can actually consistently riposte the first boss. He seems to have some sort of meter which needs to be lowered before he goes down.

I think the starter pistol is faster but has a smaller range and the blunderbuss is slower but has a longer range (timing wise). So far, I don't know if its early or late but for bosses, I tend to shoot at specific frames which has been pretty successful.

As for the Kirkhammer, the damage varies depending on how and where you hit. I do 50 damage sometimes when its at the edge as opposed to hitting them full on center with the hammer which does 350.
 
You can easily
push him off the edge of the tower with a couple of shots from the firearm as soon as you get up to him, then respawn at the area and collect the item he drops right where he was standing.

At least that's how I did it.
Didn't get to properly fight him
so I feel like I'm missing out lol.

Pretty sure that tatcic is not 100% proof. Before I finally pushed him off the roof with my whip, I had tried numerous times to do it and he would jusy skip my bullet by dodging it. Same with molotovs.
 
So is R
om
the V
acuous
an optional boss? Because fuck him. Took me so long to beat.
And then it just sent me to where I assume I'm actually supposed to go.
 
I wish I had any clue what you were talking about. I too am getting tired of the long trek back to that boss. haha :P

From the first lamp post, go left. Down the stairs and to the area with two guys with bricks. Run past them to elevator. Go down. Then go up over birdge past rolling boulder. Up to the left is graveyard with boss. Takes 1-2 minutes to get there.
 
was very close to beating cleric beast on 1st try... now i'm out of oil urns and molotovs ; ;
decided use the blood echoes consumables to strengthen myself 1st, i don't mind getting spoiled here but how far away am i until better armor? either i spend the echoes to level up or i can buy the default hunter's armors from hunter's dream
 
I JUST GOT IT AW YISSSS OH FUCK

So that 2,7GB patch, how recommended/mandatory is it that I wait for it to start playing? 100 minutes left :/ I don't care about online for now.

I don't think it's optional.
Notice that you saw that cutscene of the woman and now the sky is changed.
 
you mean dress up your hunter? Not in the inventory. Us the d-pad down and go to "attire". Then dress up. Under Investory, using you dresses is greyed out. Tried 5 minutes till i got this.

No I wouldn't have got that far without changing armor lol
You can dress up the messengers. You find items I the game for this
 
Is there a lamp closer to the entrance to father G? Also is there an item to use if I want to be summoned? I only have an item to summon someone else.

Buy the hunter armor

There is a set down in the sewers at the end of the waterway but it's not that much better IMO. IT boosts some things and drops others.

you need 10 insight to buy the bell to be summoned.
 
Hey GAF. I have come in here with my eyes closed. I don't want to ruin a thing. Can anyone PM me the answer to this question?

Can I co-op from the start or do I have to complete a level/section a la Demons Souls? A friend and I are trying to work out how/if we need to plan our playing when it releases here in the UK.

Cheers for any help.

EDIT:

Thank you GAF. You are awesome. Question answered.
 
Just beat the cleric beast. That was not an easy fight. Plus getting to him takes awhile each death. I guess no more bonfires/lamps near bosses?

Now to figure out where to go next.
 
Boss One Location:
At the end of the bridge with the two warewolves on it, in the house with the wheelchair madman, go up the stairs and then outside, you'll be on the bridge, the boss is to the left.

Heh. One-shotted. Cakewalk compared to the Father.

Thanks! =)

yassssssssssssssss

also sold that pos 1886 to pre-order Xenoblade U, it was a great day
 
When I try to use the elevator, it says it's not operable.

Then you need to open it from the other side first. Go down into the sewers and up the ladder past the pig. The elevator will be open. Ride it up and this unlocks it for further use.

Quick way to sewers is go past bonfire with all the town folk, and loop around behind them. There is a hidden ladder up there (facing bonfire from start its up on high right side) then climb down. Follow water way past crows and to pig. Up ladder to right of pig and over on left you see elevator.
 
I can't find any way of saving Twitch VODs when streaming from PS4? Anyone halp?

where the first boss was
?

Ha, i am guessing there is a second way to get to his area then, didn't know that. The lamp i was referencing was one in front of the portion
with the hunter machinegunning you from on top of the tower.

You can also
wear the Black Church set (found in the alley past the large circular area with two white bell giants behind the locked gate) and he won't even fire on you. You have a convo with him and he gives you the drops you'd get if you'd killed him.

Has anyone found out (Cathedral Ward spoilers) what the
fucking invisible Eldritch Horror thing is that grabs you
outside of Odeon Chapel is?

I felt the same, but on the bright side you can farm blood vials on the way to him (parry and kill the brick guys instead of running past), whereas when I was dying to the Cleric Beast, I'd kill a ton of guys on the way and get jack shit. You might run out of bullets, but you can convert health to bullets, so it works out okay in this particular scenario.
 
Guys, I feel like I cheated. I only tried the 2nd boss once before bed last night and died of course. Well, this morning, just to see what it was like, I tried the Beckoning Bell at the boss. Chimed it, game looked for a player, found someone. He comes upto me and bows, I bow back and we head through the fog to the boss. We get him into second form so quick and then I played the music box while he just takes him out. After the fight, we waved to each other and he left. It was so easy. I feel like I cheated but I'm also amazed how cool of an experience it was.

Not just that, I know few people that caved in and are buying PS4 just because of Bloodborne. So, it will push some pS4 sales too. Is there stopping SONY at this stage? This train keeps on rolling, lol.
