Old Yharnam Spoilers

How in the hell am I supposed to beat this Gatling Gun guy? Am I not supposed to be able to do this fight yet? I got 3 Visceral stabs off on him, and he only went down like 1/4 of his health, and that alone took pretty much every vial and bullet I had. This is bullshit.

I've never used range except a bow and maybe a spell here and there. All about the melee combat!

I suppose you could play gunner only

I keep forgeting about blood bullets! It could get very tricky and Im not sure how far you could push gun damage and remain viable.

You still have to rely on trick weapons to do the bulk of the work and I believes that is just intended by design but who knows

Cant wait to see people try this stuff out on challenge runs

You know that bridge with the fireball? Go to the left as soon as you get up there. There will be an elevator shortcut you open. From there run right past the big dudes and go straight to the guy with the torch. Kill him and climb those stairs to open a shortcut to the first lamp. Now you got a shortcut to the first AND second boss. To get the first boss you go down from the lamp, and up the building right across. Go upstairs in there (watch out for the dudes in the dark corners) and you'll end up on the main bridge. First boss is at the end of the bridge. Second boss will be on the bridge that you get to by the elevator.

HOLY SHIT, THANK YOU

There was a note by the elevator that said
lamp ahead
and after I went up and died fighting
the big dudes
I figured it was just a dude trolling. You're a lifesaver!
 
Boss #2 finally dead after 7-8 attempts. Found the
music box
to honestly not be as helpful as it was the first two times. Wouldn't work quite a bit actually, and after 3-4 attempts
Gascoigne goes Beast.
Glad I got the parrying down, though it was touch and go there near the end.
 
just realized after 14 hours that I missed the very first npc of the game.

also it's really nice how you can regain health after hitting dead enemies/bodies that are falling, it even makes sense since you're still "getting blood" out of their bodies.

Good stuff.

The second swing of the charged R2 attack with the axe is so great.
Click to expand...

Everything about the axe makes me happy. So glad I picked it as my starter weapon. Though I still haven't tried the threaded cane. I'll have to pick it up and see how it is.
 
Is there any reason NOT to use the
gold pendant from vicar Amelia
in order to get a blood gem?

Also, does wearing any specific equipment change anything in the game, like doors opening or how people react to you? I have a church set and in the store theres a really expensive prospectors set...

lastly, any good gun recommendations? I'm just using the unupgraded original pistol. I'm a STR character and don't really have any points in Bloodtinge...
 
ripping my hair off
 
Cleric Beast
I beat this guy after getting a lot more aggressive and ditching repostle. Used a retracted saw, got up close and personal, tried to get behind him

I don't really like guns
because unlike the parry it gives the impression that I'm supposed, I wind up wasting lives that I could use killing shit in other ways.

Super late game help please
I normally wouldn't ask, but I'm terrified this will send me into new game plus.

Killed Wet Nurse, went back to the dream, it's on fire, and now Gerhman/wheelchair grampa wants to kill me and awaken me. This seems really anticlimatic for the end of the game, but just in case, does this put you into new game plus? I can also refuse, but I pressed circle and just canceled out, not sure if choosing refuse would be different. Feel free to answer here or PM
Click to expand...

Yes to your first question. Do everything else now or you will make the same mistake as me lol.
 
Boss spoilers:
I think From needs to stop with the gank styled boss fights. The Shadows of Yharnam fight was incredibly annoying with the 1 guy spamming pyro from long range while the other 2 bum rush you. If they really want to do these style of fights, I think every boss should have similar fighting styles so there aren't situations where your desperately trying to adjust the camera because there's 1 guy so far away from you. Inb4 just unlock the camera.

Haha I did too. I only talked to her after killing the second boss.
 
Orthogonal said:
The point is they are all viable builds. BB seems to shoehorn you into melee.
Click to expand...

Well that's not entirely fair. They don't shoehorn you, meaning they don't give you a range of options and then make everything but melee suck. Rather they just only really provide you with melee options. I'm okay with it if it's a design decision they made, but I readily admit I'm never much of a ranged person anyway.

Well, here I am, downloading the day 1 patch at like 0.5 MB/s. I usually get half-decent speeds from PSN (around 3MB/s or so), but this is just pathetic. And I don't want to start playing until it's done, considering it adds little things such as online play.

An hour to go...

EDIT: And it's fucking slowing down. Still at 57 minutes. Fix your shitty servers, Sony.

Try pausing and unpausing every now and then. Seems to help me maintain faster speeds.

Can someone tell me (second boss related) where this
music box is in relation to where the entrance to the second boss is?
Click to expand...

Go back down to the sewer.
Follow it to a set of ladderd. Go wat up, then across a small bridge up another ladder. Right next to a door you can open she is on the right.

HOLY FUCK. This is horrifying in the best possible ways. Happened a little bit after I downed my 3rd boss and was headed to the chapel.

I've been kidnapped and brought to what I assume is a mid-late game level, the unseen village. I'm doing CRAP for damage and getting murdered in 1-2 hits. And then in a desperate bid to get to the lamp, I run right past those insane baggers into the fucking Palebeast, and proceed to get torn to shreds.

Through sheer tenacity and a crazy amount of stunlocking I did managed to find a lamp in the end.

I think I need to put down my controller for a bit, because that was tense as fuck.
Click to expand...

Haha, been there done that!
I really liked the way one of those guys just wrecks your face and you think you died and then you wake up "trapped" in some hellhole :D

Got stomped by them so hard at first my ass is still on the ground.

So much crazy going on in this game!
 
Man, I've pretty much mastered the
Blood-starved beast
fight right until it reaches 20% health left. The combination of poisonous gas when close to it, its Flamelurker-like aggression, and the instant kill grab, I keep getting overwhelmed right when I think I have it in the bag. It's a fun fight but damn.
 
Decided to muck around the prison since you can run from bag boys and everything else is not bad. Ran into the boss. I'll... come back later.
 
Oh my god. Mind blown! I thought that the game had burned me by not adding a travel point after my first major expedition from central Yharnam, but it turned out that
I had just looped back and opened a shortcut to central Yharnam and used the existing waypoint there. I found this out when I was ready to start over and noticed that the gate to the left was inexplicably opened

Hit him right as you come up, and knock his ass off the tower. :-)
 
I accidentally attacked the first NPC and now she's angry and attacks me every time I approach.

Need to go back and kill her now.

Don't think it really makes a major difference, but damn it.

Oh man that's the best! The feeling of unexpectedly unlocking a shortcut in a souls game is the greatest
