So let me get this straight. Unlike previous games, you have to kill the enemy who killed you before you can get your souls blood echoes back? Haven't reached a boss yet, but holy crap if that's true.

Not always but usually. Sometimes you'll find a bloodstain on the ground... but if an enemy has glowing purple glowing eyes and an aura around his head make sure to kill him to get your echoes back.

Sometimes enemies have your souls, and sometimes they are in a traditional free-standing pile.

I don't know exactly what determines why an enemy gets them. At first I thought it was the enemy that killed you, but that has definitely not been the case for me always. I think it might just randomly give it to a nearby creature.
 
Father G is just a twat. I can get him to his
second form
pretty much without losing any life and then I die within seconds. I can't parry his jump attack. What am I doing wrong?
 
Can someone answer this, was the better decision not to go back?

OK I just watched ENB walkthrough #3 and he address it (Concerning the little girl looking for parents side quest).
It looks like if you don't give her the broach she won't just go into dispair and you can send her off to be safe.
NOOOOOO

EDIT: I was wrong, I was so excited I didn't see the out come.
She dies on her way to the church
Wow this game is dark.

That's true sometimes. There are times your blood echoes will just be lying on the ground. There are other times where an enemy will hold them, denoted by glimmering blue eyes.
 
Whats the followup attack on it

I have noticed that every charged R2 has a SICK followup attack if you have enough Stamina to hit R2 again

I think it's a downswipe...? I don't remember exactly.

Try rolling forward when he jumps at you. You should end up behind him.

Use the trees and terrain to bait him to miss his attacks

Make sure to dodge as well.

After his jump and three hit combos he has a significant cooldown window to punish him.

Hit him with a big charged R2 and dodge back immediately after and keep using the terrain to force him to miss.

You can also use the Music Box to stun him and get a backstab as well... Popular strategy
 
Can someone tell me when I'll be able to equip runes? I have 2 areas to proceed, the forest and hemwick and wanna know which one gets me to runes faster.
 
So finally got the
ice king
down , it was not a walk in the park. Seems i cant join the
vileblood
covenant as i am alredy in the
hunter of hunters
covenant, at least i think so.

I beat him last night after about 15 tries. The music box is key if you haven't gotten it yet, but don't spam it until the
second form.
. What I did was sprint up the stairs in the back then jump down the opening to give yourself some distance. Then immediately use the music box and squeeze in a few hits. If you can get at least one parry on the
second form
, it'll be a huuuuge help because he'll almost be dead by then.
 
How about today, any podcasts outside of GiantBomb and a little Idle Thumbs discussing this game yet? I feel like there are no gaming podcasts anymore with people who are my contemporaries. I miss you Garnett Lee! Where are the gaming podcasts from gamers? This should be the talk of the week.

I really want a new gaming podcast. Sorry SuperBestFriends, I tried for a while but I don't like Nintendo games, fighting games or people who speak in memes. ;)
 
Anyone that can help me kill this freaking hunter at the Tomb of Oedon? I must avenge the fallen and I just keep getting killed by the bastard.
Anybody? The guy does a hell of a lot more damage than I do. Can kill me in 3-4 hits. Riposting him doesn't do that much damage and that's with a Kirkhammer +4 with 20 points in Strength.

Also, will have to summon from Old Yharnam since it wont let me summon in Cathredal Ward or Central Yharnam.
 
So regarding gems in weapons - what the heck does 'HP continues to recover' mean? The in-game help is of no use for these specific effects.

After He transforms

Music Box >> Charged R2 to the Back >>> Back Stab >>> Molotov >> dead or should be close

Exactly as it says

I have that same one and it SLOWLY regens your health. Nice for long treks but ultimately not very good unless you can somehow stack the effect since Vials drop regulary
 
Is it sad that I defeated
Vicar Amelia, Witch of Hemlock, Darkbeast Paarl, and Shadow of Yarhnam with very little trouble, but Rom is giving me issues? Have I just been playing too long?
 
the forest

is this a fucking joke?

a sick fucking joke?
 
Not always but enemies steal your soul/blood kinda makes sense! They have glowing eyes to reflect they have your stuff!

Not always. It seems like it's random if an enemy has it or a pool will be left, I've never seen a boss take them yet.

Not always but usually. Sometimes you'll find a bloodstain on the ground... but if an enemy has glowing purple glowing eyes and an aura around his head make sure to kill him to get your echoes back.

Any enemy nearby can pick up your echoes...except bosses.

Gotcha, thanks. Glad it doesn't do it for the bosses. Wasn't sure after dying to the two wolfs on the bridge and trying to get my 3k blood echoes back.

Man, I felt like the forest was one of the best levels. The way it twists and turns, all the hidden stuff, and how it winds together is just master class level design. But yeah, some of the enemies there are... well, Resident Evil 4. I'll leave it at that.
 
Linked a few posts up.



I don't really like them, but I've grown pretty used to the cane and haven't spent too much time with it. If you have extra mats, I'd say give it a shot.

bummer...getting bored of the Cane want to switch it up a little.

any other options for skill build?
 
Are there any invisible/secret walls? Because i'm now at Old Yarnham @ Bloodstarved Beast and so far i haven't found any.

I did find some hidden locations but that's about it.
 
Hello guys, I finally got it the Nightmare Edition.

- The box itself got such a horrifying texture. Fits perfectly the theme of the game.
- Each item got its own compartment on the steel book chest.
- The bell works properly, I was able to invade my cats world and give him a few jump scares in the end the cat got the best of me. He was a master using its insight and I lost.
- The little boxes ( the ones containing the bell and the pen) are labeled Bloodborne.
- Fun notice also, the plastic that comes wrapping the pen box contains some interesting notes.
- Haven't open the book and the little guide but will make sure to do it during the weekend (I will focus on playing atm).

Potato version, will take proper pictures during the weekend:
