So I just had to check my playtime. 22 hours. Holy shit. I've only beaten three bosses
though I found a fourth in the Cathedral Wards
. I've also cleared out two levels of my first Chalice Dungeon, and am somewhat stuck on the boss of the third level
I've assisted many bros, in particular on Father Gascione and a certain sniping gatling gun asshole. But 22 hours and so little progress, lol.
Cleric Beast first try, Father Gascione second try, Blood Starved Beast third try
some kind of priestess or something, I don't know, I warped the fuck out, was just exploring
damn fiery ass Watchdog!
Yeah the load times suck.
I do love the forced style change. I'm treating this more like a character action game/monster hunter game and it has been paying off. The only thing I dislike is that there seems to be no reason to parry. I guess I could learn, but it seems to be a huge risk with no reward.
Really like the fact that they have nailed Hitboxes!

How do I get summoned?

Here's my rather quick attempt at him, with no parrying or healing. My strategy was to dodge a lot and use the music box a bit.

Yeah seems to vary. It appears I'm about half way and at just unde 18 hours. So I could see it taking some folks 35-40.
That's probably why you (and I) had such a hard time. It was literal hours before I first died in DS, but I'm getting rocked by Bloodborne. It's like everything I learned and was conditioned to do has become a massive liability in this game.

i got stuck on the edge of some stairs. i exited out and reloaded and it put me back outside of that position. thank gawd.
He's wrong about invasions.
You don't ask to be invaded. A bell ringing woman appears in the world and while she's alive you can be invaded.
If you kill her, you can't be.
The bell ringing woman appears anytime you start co-op and also randomly later on for me as well.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Man. Well, it wouldn't be a From game if I didn't completely mess up on something in the first go-round.

My Vicar Amelia fight. I was probably over-leveled by this point since I spent a lot of time exploring and some time doing chalices, but damn if I didn't feel like a badass.

Oh? So randomly in some areas, you can get invaded even if you don't start co-op? I know she can appear if you ask for help. But be great if she can appear on her own.

The Threaded Cane starts off with a C in scaling. Get it to +2 and it becomes B scaling. If you are maining the Cane, keep putting points into Skill.
After you gain "insight" you can return to the Hunters Dream and level up at the doll.
Parrying is super useful! It's way more forgiving Imo than it was in dark souls 2 and you can parry and one shot so many enemies and do massive damage to bosses.
Yeah, I did some levels solo in the late game and she would appear.
need 1 Insight to activate doll in Hunter's Dream
Thank you Colingt255 / Skiesofwonder for help with the first boss!!!
Took me 30 minutes to farm up more healing pots, didn't want to do that again!
And now, looking for help with boss 2! (or anyone who wants to play) My bell is currently ringing if anyone wants to join!

Lol it's not a good game to play for people trying to get their blood pressure down
oh, word? insight is the eyeball right? what do i do with the number i have above the eyeball? are those blood echoes? do i just use those to buy items?
It's mostly about how I approach enemies differently. In Dark Souls, I'm scared of taking damage. Like, deathly afraid. So, I usually inch my way into an enemy's agro bubble and wait for them to come to me. They mostly do one at a time and you have yourself a little duel. In Bloodbourne, you've got to go in on these guys or they will pig pile you. The best footwork in the world won't save you when you're trying to dodge a sword, two pitchforks and three axes at the same time. It goes completely against the Dark Souls logic because in DS, this behavior will 100% get you killed. Hits can be soaked now through regain though and thinning out their numbers before the fight starts properly is more important than maintaining good defensive posture.
I went from being concerned I would run out of blood vials to having a huge stockpile thanks to this adjustment. Werewolves aren't so scary. Turns out, like any other big dangerous animal, you've just got to front like you could curb stomp them easy and they slink off all scared
right up until I shotgun them in the face and put my hand through their skull.
True story, by the way. I took out one of the werewolves on the great bridge in record time and his pal screeched to a halt and started retreating from me. In that moment, I knew I'd learned how to hunt. And it was glorious.

I have the strange feeling I missed a boss ... but I'm not requesting any help whatsoever my first run.
I'll find out sooner or later.
YEP!
But I personally think this goes well beyond previous Souls games, besides a few boss battles. So far its like they took Flamelurker and the Old King battles from Demons and build an entire game around that style of insanity.

no, but there are shortcuts you can open up.
I just bought it this morning, and tried it out very briefly. I really wanted to like it, but I'm not sure if I will. It scales a little better with strength, so maybe it will improve?

I think I've asked this but how do I tell if a weapons DMG is raised by the STR or SKILL stat?
I couldn't figure it out in the game I am looking at full weapons stats on a website and I don't see anything that tells me what kid of weapon it is.
Are all 'Trick' weapons a skill weapon?

So I'm having a hard time getting to the Cleric Boss. I beat Dark Souls twice so I don't know why this is such a struggle for me.
The two Nether Beasts (I think) keep getting me. I try to lure out one at a time with the molotovs but they both charge me every time. I had considered trying a pebble. Is there some trick to beating them besides "git gud"

I like it for 1on1. Still stick to the giant axe for mobs.
When you look at a weapon in your inventory it lists the weapon's attribute bonuses near the bottom in the middle column.

Does everything in the insight shop require insight for purchasing? I heard there's armor for purchase there, but I don't want to use up my insight buying stuff as I need it for summoning
Oh, great. That helps relieve me some of my fear of invasions being gimped a bit (compared to just invading anyone)
