Cheap ass motherfucker - "hey, let me hit you with these virtually unavoidable projectiles"

its actually fairly easy to dodge....

 

[MistressMoitie]

I keep noticing something that's driving me crazy. If you're doing the shortcut run to Amelia's room from the Cathedral Ward lantern, you pass by it and it's on your right up on a balcony. I can't figure out how to get to it. Has anyone gotten it?

Edit: Also, there's fire paper somewhere in the area right? Aside from the fire paper you get from Alfred? I could have sworn I picked some up on a different character, but if I did I haven't been able to find it again.

There's a broken railing on a tower just after you run up that huge staircase. There's a ladder to the right leading up to the tower just after the stairs. The drop leads to a roof but it's a pretty far way down. Haven't tried it yet but I'm thinking that's how you get to it.

 

[shinobi602]

Jesus, absolutely killing it.

 

[flipswitch]

Playtime is 9hrs17mins and two bosses down. Bed time now.

 

[Crab Milk Mickey]

Quick question about the blunderbuss: if you time it right, can you stagger / parry with it as well for the critical hit thereafter or is that a pistol-only perk?

Anyone? Haven't had much time to experiment with it myself for reasons that be.

 

[ramshot]

Anyone know what the level limitations between players are for co-op? Googling the issue provides no clear info: Some claim it's +-10 levels, others +-10+0.1*currentLevel, and some say there's no limit at all.

Anyone been able to test this? A friend of mine is a DS veteran and there is no way in hell I'll be able to hold up with his leveling pace, but I'd still like to be able to co-op with him.

 

[delSai]

This must be some kind of joke. Game is still not here.

 

[Fee]

Not sure how I feel about being able to buy all the weapons so early in the game.

Do you mean starter weapons? Because the total number of weapons is much higher than you probably think.

Blunderbuss can stun just the same

Not sure if this has been posted already or not, but you can create The Joker as a playable character. XD

That's Amazing.

 

[MaximusPayne]

Where do you buy more weapons? The workshop or the bath? It doesn't show any more weapons for me and I already bought all of the attire available.

 

[DrROBschiz]

I find the kirkhammer pretty good for damage and fast too in short mode. I think I have like 17 strength , 17 endurance, and +3 upgrade.

Kirkhammer is much better than i initally gave it credit for

You REALLY need to understand its sweetspot mechanics to get the most out of it. Not to mention it seems to do more damage if you somehow get its swing to hit enemies on the head.

Also.... The second swing after the charge R2 is bananas and sends even the Big enemies in the Cathedral flying.

Pump Stamina for sure to get those sweet sweet follow up attacks

 

[superseohyun]

Unless there are more weapons in the game than the 4-5 available after I beat the first boss.

lol. btw i still cant believe edge guys only found 6 weapons after 40 hours. seriously?

Joker stuff

Oh my god ahahaha

 

[Bunta]

Holy shit that fight, jeez. 5th or 6th boss spoiler:

Spoiler

Damn shadow of yharnam fight. I somehow beat it on my 3rd attempt. I thought them extending their attacks with the snakes is where the craziness ended. NOPE. These assholes started summoning giant snakes. I ended up barely killing the last one and just had run out of vials. That was intense.

 

[Stone Ocean]

You'll unlock more inventory as the game progresses. You'll also find weapons around the world.

 

[Wabba]

Just light the lamp in Hemwick Charnel Lane, and traveled back to the base but when i try to travel back to HCL it isent to be found on the list, is this a bug or does it happend for everyone else?

 

[DrROBschiz]

Dude its just like Demons Souls!

This game is densely packed and its easy to miss things. Not to mention all the branching paths for sidequests

I HIGHLY recommend watching ENB's videos behind your playthrough to show just how much is missable.

 

[Trickster]

It's completely random for me no matter the timing and direction I dodge. Sometimes it misses completely, other times I get hit by 3-4 projectiles

There's three teleporter stones all next to each other in Hunter's Dream, Hemwick is one to the left of the of the one you've been using.

 

[Fee]

... of course there are? You're like 2 hours in, why would you think those are the only weapons?

I think some people actually believed the "there are only 6 weapons in the entire game" stuff from the edge preview thread pre release.

Check the two gravestones to the left of the one you usually use in the Hunter's Dream

This game seriously rewards backtracking and exploration


TAKE YOUR TIME guys

You will miss all the roses you can smell otherwise

 

[yatesl]

It seems that bloodstains disappear if you log out? I died, and on the way back I chased a lizard, killed it, but the body fell. I logged out and back in to try and get the items back, and my stain was gone, and no enemy had it

yup lots of stuff is optional. I wonder all those ppl who complaining about the length of the game probably missed a lot.

 

[aravuus]

Since everyone's talking about it, I gotta ask: how/when do I get the Ludwig's Holy Blade?

It's actually fairly impressive that they only managed to find 6 weapons in 40 hours

Going in absolutely blind you can get 6 weapons in like 2 hours

Probably a bug

 

[MaximusPayne]

Is there an advantage to smashing everything box/barrel/vase I see in sight or is that just instinct?

 

[Crab Milk Mickey]

Blunderbuss can stun just the same

Sweet. For that matter: does range matter more than with the pistol (read: potentially moving in closer than normal) when aiming to trigger a parry, what with it being a shotgun?

 

[Violater]

They are the early starter weapons that cover most of the possible builds you can go towards. There are weapons later that give you more options.

Roger, so is it worth upgrading the early weapons?

 

[DrROBschiz]

Some one time treasures are hidded behind breakable items

Other than that no. There are not "drops" from breakable environments. They mostly serve to hide paths or treasures

That I couldn't say, but usually I have an easier time getting a stun with the Blunderbuss up close

There's lots of secrets behind crates and barrels

Embrace the joy of breaking wooden shit by rolling

 

[DryvBy]

The coughing man in the window at lamp #2, what does he give you? I heard he gives you an item but I dunno what it is.

 

[Evolved1]

This game had taken over my life.

 

[Mupod]

lol. btw i still cant believe edge guys only found 6 weapons after 40 hours. seriously?

yeah I'm maybe 7 hours in - lots of that was dicking around past a certain locked gate I opened. I've found 6 weapons and 3 guns on top of my starter equipment. It's cool that you find badges that unlock them in the store instead of weapons, but this feature would have been far more useful in the souls games than bloodborne. Why would I need to re-buy a weapon if there aren't tons of branching upgrade paths?

 

[ogbg]

That's what I freaking love about this firmware is how much it helps disabled gamers and gives them a chance to make the controls more friendly. The option for button mapping will be a standard on consoles moving forward.

It is, quite literally, a game changer. My only complaint is that you can't save multiple presets (e.g. for different games). At the moment I'm only using it for BB so I can just turn it off and on but I might like to use it for other games in the future.

 

[aember]

Quick question has anyone figured out how Insight works? Beyond coop?

Also if you start getting the consumeable for it pretty often in a later area?

A store in the Dream hub opens up, above the usual blood echoes store when you have 10+ Insight and yes, you'll find a bunch of insight consumables as you journey ahead.

 

[superseohyun]

you need to learn its attack pattern by watch how it move its body. its really easy to recognize which attack is about to come : explosion, shards from the ground or from above. if you see its about to unleash the meteor before the meteor actually appear in your screen, just run sideways maybe roll a bit. it will not hit you.

 

[Ryuzaki07]

I think the 'buss can stagger bigger enemies.

 

[DrROBschiz]

A Flamethrower. At least thats what he gave me after i beat the father

 

[Stone Ocean]

Roger, so is it worth upgrading the early weapons?

You can beat the game with any weapon. Further weapons you find won't be direct upgrades so no problem upgrading stuff early on if you want to actually use them

Where is the hunter clothes? I felt like I searched the sewer but I still can't find it. I just hit level 19 by upgrading vitality more. . still haven't beaten any bosses yet. Farming echoes, blood stones, vials, and bullets

 

[CouchMaster]

It was probably a preview build, they didn't want EDGE to spoil it for everyone.

 

[Wynnebeck]

So

Spoiler

I'm in Central Yarnham and I encounter the first mob of guys. Kill them quickly and turn around a corner. This huge hulking sunuvabitch LEAPS AT ME and slices me down in one hit. Is he even beatable at this point?

Fucker just stole like 1500 of my Blood Echoes!

 

[DrROBschiz]

We need to spread the work about how to get the coop items

There is a Shop in the Hunters dream RIGHT in front of the Library that only opens when you have 10+ insight.

It sells the items needed to Help or Invade players (the bells)

Its really easy to miss the entire online component untill this becomes a known thing
