I'm having loads of problems with father G and I'm pretty much out of potions and bullets. Any tips for quick farming?

Spoiler

yeah I know I said earlier I found this game easy... I will eat crow for this.

Yoshi has weirdest tactic for avoiding traps.

 

[antitrop]

Just killed the Cleric Beast after initially giving up, wandering around and finding boss Number 2.

This is a far harder opening than either Dark Souls games for me. I need my shield!

Not having a shield causes occasional recklessness that gets me killed far more often than Dark Souls. Overall, I'm finding it easier, though. Easier to figure stuff out, I mean. Bloodborne feels far less cryptic, though I'm sure a lot of that has to do with DaS being my first Souls experience, with me now being used to some series tropes.

When he fell to his death and died, did you get the emblem that unlocks the two new weapons at the shopkeeper still?

Quit and reload.

 

[IvorB]

I dunno, guys. I've beaten Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2. Got platinum on Demon's and Dark - and yet this game is just destroying me so hard that I'm not enjoying myself anymore. I really want to, but fighting this boss over and over is killing me. I've spent my entire day here and I've even broken my own rules and watched a video... and in the video the boss isn't even doing what it's doing on my end. On my end, he's doing like crazy 7+ hit flurries and shit.

Can you not summon help?

 

[Stillmatic]

You need to die from him once [or kill him] to gain the ability to upgrade stats. If you farm too much XP before that, you will not have anything worthwhile to spend it on. :-/

Oh wow, really? I guess I have to beat him then, since my echoes will be trapped in the boss battle.

edit: I was listening to a stream yesterday and the streamer (think it was Brad Shoemaker) said the doll comes to life at 1 insight. Is this true? I haven't beat any bosses but I have 2 Madman's Knowledge items, anyone know if I could consume 1 to get 1 insight, go back to the doll and level up and use my echoes before taking on CB?

to those that finished the game, or just simply know this:

that

disgusting giant spider on the side of a tower

in the trailers / pictures, boss or no?

 

[Cloud Strife]

yup. just finished that area myself. probably skipped half of it.

It is huge and I kept getting lost there. It's a miracle I somehow found the right way to go.

So burnt out from the

area, gonna take a break and tackle it later...amazed at how big this game is tbh

 

[kingofthedead45]

GUYS huge help regarding getting to Amelia which I didn't realize before, might help someone out if they were going down the scaffolds all this time like me!

Spoiler

the gate that you open up at the area right after you jump off the ledge from the elevator (after that alleyway with the reaper) opens a shortcut right into a courtyard, which leads to the Cathedral bonfire. So basically after you open that gate up on your first run through, you can go straight out of the Cathedral and up the huge staircase to the area just before her.

Maybe I was crazy for not knowing this, but I'm super happy to not have to drop down that pit anymore!!

There's a balcony around there with an item on it. How do you get it? £ I must knowwww!

 

[Incendiary]

Father Gasoline is kicking my ass but it's a really fun fight. I'm getting the hang of his parry window and I think I can get him soon.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

just taking pictures while waiting for someone to answer my summons.

 

[Frillen]

Should I just sell attires that are worse? There are no cons in selling them?

Anyone?

 

[pupcoffee]

I haven't even reached the 3rd boss yet and this is already the best game I've ever played. This is like the PS4's RE4.

 

[TEH-CJ]

Holy shit. That's awesome.

Spoiler

yeah I know I said earlier I found this game easy... I will eat crow for this.

You can get upwards of 10 vials by killing the two fatties by the elevator and the two enemies to the right of Father G's boss room. They each generally drop two vials, plus you'll get two more from the fatty after the bridge and whatever else you get from the regular enemies on the way. Kill the wheelchair enemy in the dark house for four bullets.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try this tomorrow.

The trick to beat Cleric Beast is not to look on. Man this game is soooo fucking good holy shit

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Can anyone tell me in spoiler tags where I can find Viola's mother's brooch? I'm already way past Father G and have (chapel sidequest spoiler)

I don't know!!! I'll look around!!

Any tips (yourself or anyone) regarding Amelia?

Spoiler

doesn't matter which way I dodge, her arms get me as I try to get behind her

 

[Lucent]

Funny how you get endlessly beaten by a boss all night. Then you wake up the next day and best him your first attempt.

Screw you, Gascoigne.

anyone else feel cheap when using molotov cocktails? So far they work a little too well in the first main area of game.

Have you unlocked the shortcut?
The guy in the wheelchair gives you like 4 bullets every time and killing those 2 hunchbacks tends to give you 2-4 potions each time. You could basically just farm that section over and over.

Spoiler

I just beat Father G btw after being stuck there for like 3 hours, if you have the musicbox don't use that until he transforms, because else he'll transform sooner and that Werewolf form is no joke, for his human phase try to master the visceral attack (shoot one of his actions to interrupt and then R1), the beast I just soaked in oil and then used a molotov.

 

[Pinktaco]

i just ran through everything except the grannies.

Thanks, figure I'll do it as well then. Is the boss manageable straight after having defeated the blood starved beast?

 

[antitrop]

Stress causes carelessness. Constant breaks definitely improve the pace of my progress.

How do you get summoned into other people's games and what benefit is it to you besides helping somebody out?

 

[HORRORSHØW]

So, GAF. How are summons today?

i'm like 1/7 so far. wasting all my insight

 

[DieH@rd]

One item enables you to teleport back to Dream with all your XP. So die at him once, and then go back for XP and teleport back.

Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?

That was such a fun boss fight.

RE4 is my favorite game of all time. If Bloodborne's technical issues get fixed, it's going to seriously give it a run for its money. As it stands, it's easily a top 10 game for me.

Is this your first "Souls" game?

[Shengar]

That Kirkhammer R2 charge attack is so satisfying, especially when followed up by another R2. That last hit sends even fatties flying.

Feel right at home as hammer user yes?

 

[Sullichin]

How do you get summoned into other people's games and what benefit is it to you besides helping somebody out?

You get echoes, and a point of insight if you beat the boss. You can use insight to buy stuff from the insight vendor in Hunter's Dream, and you also need it to summon someone.

You need 10 insight to unlock the vendor. Go into the house in Hunter's dream and go out the door on the left midway. Buy the resonant bell. Go outside a boss room and use it, and you will be summoned

Killing Manus with a bow outside of his fog gate was a bit cheap. Also believe you could kill the first Maneater with a bow through the fog gate, also cheap.

Anybody know how to get more messenger hats? Lol I've seen some pretty cool ones while playing online.

Pretty sure Im too high level to get help for the third boss

Nope. Platinumed all the others. Three bosses in, Bloodborne is far beyond them imo.
