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

uh...lol. it was hard b/c of the suck-ass camera. you can try a few times and level up if needed. the lamp post to the boss spawn is really short.

 

[Stillmatic]

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.

Forgot about that. Will do, cheers!

 

[BrokenIcarus]

Is Cleric Beast optional? He doesn't seem to lead me anywhere?

But now I can buy the Hammer which is awesome!

 

[GrizzNKev]

I got abducted ((

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Feel right at home as hammer user yes?

Hehe I always go for heavy weapons :3

 

[saveweyard]

Just beat Father G on my first try! You guys had me scared, but nailing those gun interrupts really makes it easy.

 

[ZangBa]

My only note has so many foul ratings. It says something like "time for fall" near the cathedral elevator because it looks like there is a floor under it that you can land on, but you just fall right through like it's a PS1 game.

 

[antitrop]

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

Dark Souls is the only other that I've put serious time into, but I prefer Bloodborne's action focus. I'm also more awed by the environmental design of Bloodborne.

 

[IvorB]

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

Use what you can. The game is not pulling any punches so why should you?

 

[Shengar]

You're a monster.

Between Church and Clinic,

Spoiler

which one is the lesser evil?

 

[Pinktaco]

Oh Uhm and guys if you so happen to run into a boss without knowing it and have a ton of blood echoes on you? Use the bold thingy that returns you to the dream with your blood. That's a better way to spend your stuff instead of losing it =]

 

[blame space]

are you not supposed to be able to use your weapons on the first werewolf or am i just an idiot

i mean I'm an idiot regardless but i feel really stupid just dying over and over trying to punch this thing to death

 

[Rhaknar]

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.

the game throws cheap shit at you every 5 minutes. Whats goes around comes around. I regret none of my tactics in any souls game, including arrowing the tail for the dragon sword etc

are you not supposed to be able to use your weapons on the first werewolf or am i just an idiot

i mean I'm an idiot regardless but i feel really stupid just dying over and over trying to punch this thing to death

you die once like every souls game, you choose a weapon in the dream, you equip the weapon and you kill the werewolf

 

[Nabbis]

I got abducted ((

Don't stick around. Though i think the enemies make that point quite clear.

 

[Conezays]

Just getting wrecked by those damn early-mid game whistling

Spoiler

mansnakes.

 

[Ferrio]

Anyone? I have enough to buy the full set of the Yharnam Hunter attires.

Easy to get souls, can't always re-find armors. Also a lot of armor is just sidegrades, so good to have to have for certain encounters.

 

[jacksepticeye]

The creativity in the weapon design in this game is some of the best I've ever seen. Seeing how weapons combine into themselves to form new ones is so cool

 

[GrizzNKev]

Equip them you dingus

 

[LostMyNarbles]

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

Thanks for the information!

 

[Sullichin]

Is the mace in

Spoiler

Yahar'gul

? And is it a enemy drop or just something you find?

I don't know that area name, it's from the area you access from the third headstone, although I haven't unlocked the second. To be more specific it's the one

Spoiler

you are kidnapped to when an enemy with a sack kills you

, a surprise that came out of nowhere for me and people keep posting. If you don't have the third headstone unlocked don't read that

It was just lying on the ground, but guarded. I did a suicide run blind around the area just picking up whatever I could.

 

[FiraB]

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.

Strat for You if your going to farm blood and are still stuck.

Spoiler

Oil Urn + Molotov's. It seems cheap but it's highly effective against him. Just make sure your vials are topped up and just run around, wear him down with his multi-strikes and when he's drained then hit him with one oil urn, repeat and hit him with a molotov. Rinse and repeat. It's time consuming but he goes down after about a few minutes.

 

[Deadstar]

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!

Ha, I'm having a real tough time without the shield. It completely changes the game for me. I was never someone who ran around dodging attacks so it's a rude awakening for me.

 

[Cream]

What is the next step after talking to her?

Buy the 10k seal and beat either

Spoiler

Vicar Amelia or the Blood Letting Beast

, I'm not sure which.

Then go to the Tomb of Oedeon and she will be there fighting a dangerous hunter. If you help her, it will continue the quest. If you let the hunter kill her, you can loot her body.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

When you die, you can get a weapon and gun from the messengers next to the lifeless doll. Pick them up and equip them before warping back to the clinic.

 

[Ditters]

So I am sure this has been mentioned a million times but how does the gaf password work? I would be down for some jolly cooperation if I knew.

 

[Nabbis]

You're a monster.

I don't get it. What's with the Church and Clinic thing? Spoiler me.

 

[pupcoffee]

Kinda scared now, enemies have stopped dropping blood vials and bullets.

 

[Kandrick]

The game is really chugging in Old Yaharn or whatever it's called. Are the next areas better in that regard ?

 

[blame space]

I'M TRYING IT DOESN'T EQUIP. i can either "equip" which is greyed out or discard.

 

[Frillen]

Easy to get souls, can't always re-find armors. Also a lot of armor is just sidegrades, so good to have to have for certain encounters.

But I should just sell the starter armor in favor of the Yharnam outfits?

 

[serenewarfare]

I don't understand how anyone can say any strategy in a game like this is "cheap". This game throws an endless barrage of shit at you. You should have no shame in overcoming it however you can.

 

[Kusagari]

Okay how am I supposed to get to this damn guy on the

Spoiler

turret gun

?

 

[Fee]

Equip them you dingus

It's quite possible he didnt pick them up off the ground from the messengers in the hub.

Shit was mad intense

 

[Raven Prime]

So since I basically didn't play the previous Souls games. I would like to have some advice on leveling my character, I'm currently lvl 18, with 12 vitality, 15 endurance, 9 strength, 16 skill, 7 bloodtinge and 9 arcane. I chose the Troubled Childhood origin.

Anyway what should I focus on? Basically just keep pouring points into vitality, endurance and skill or something else? I have 9500 Blood Echoes right now and I would like to put them to proper use.

Cheers, just found it. Need 2 more strength though, time to grind~

 

[Vaga]

Can't get enough of staggering brick guys and eviscerate the crap out of them. This game, this game right here.

 

[WheelHoss1]

I went with Blunderbuss.

Will I have a chance to buy the Hunter Pistol?

Want to try both . . .

 

[Sullichin]

I'M TRYING IT DOESN'T EQUIP. i can either "equip" which is greyed out or discard.

First two slots are your right hand, second two are your left...can't equip a gun in your right hand, etc

Finally defeated

Such a buzzing feeling when I finally did it, this game is amazing!

Yup, you can buy all the starter weapons later in the game.

Ya, it's very cheap, too.

Yeah you can buy/find all of the starting stuff early on

That battle really tests you. It's one of those moments that's "learn the game or GTFO"

Any tips for a newb that can't get past the bonfire mob?
Get gud??

 

[nikos]

Did you guys switch to the Hunter armor set or stick with Yharnam? Stats seem to be mixed but I heard the Yharnam stuff from the vendor is better.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

Anyone know where the 4th lantern is located?

 

[ZangBa]

Cheapest thing in this game is that katana wielding hunter

Spoiler

you fight for Eileen's quest in the Grand Cathedral.

Fuck that guy.

End and vit are your most important stats. Leveling of skill, str etc should only come as a secondary when you know for sure or if you want to wield a specific weapon.
