Is it possible to buy Fire Paper later in the game? An NPC gave me some, and I found a couple more somewhere.

You can with insight IIRC.

 

[GorillaJu]

STR softcaps at 25? ...

What on earth have I done with my stats.

 

[Darryl M R]

I want to fight the blood starved beast but I haven't found it yet . Anyone want to co-op it soon?

I killed Vicar and ended up going to Hemwick Charnel Lane, but I don't think that is where I should be at the moment. So I turned around went back to the Hunter dream to cash out 28k echoes. Leveled me up 3 times. Smart move.

How much have you invested so far?

 

[Dresden]

Cannot beat

Spoiler

amelia

. I cannot beat her healin and out of that item to cancel it. Can dance around her all I want but get her to less than half and boom restart. Such crap. So only way to beat her bullshit healing is by leveling up or getting a weapon that does more damage.

Ugh.

Break her arms.

 

[super-famicom]

Yes. With either insight or echoes.

You can with insight IIRC.

Good to know. Any requirements to make them available at the bath merchant? I've only killed Cleric, Father, and BSB so far.

 

[Iorv3th]

Kill the wolves and walk straight. The first boss is there.

Shit. This whole time I have been going to the second boss and trying to fight him over and over. Getting wrecked at SL10...

 

[Sora_N]

The axe is better imo. You'll find better weapons

Is it still better to get more Str first? I was focusing on EN and VIT because I suck lol.

 

[Drencrom]

Oh ffs she got killed just as i got there and then i got parried....

 

[Sykotik]

Finished it about an hour ago. Damn, what a ride.

The only thing I have to complain about is I only found two weapons with decent Skill scaling, and one of them was the weapon I choose in the beginning of the game.

you were in the correct area (Hemwick), though killing BSB first is a good idea

Ok, I want to know your stats now.

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

Yeah, my plasma does not like "bloodborne"

 

[Alchemy]

This god damn game... Hypogean Gaol... wtf

Ran into a new enemy type that scared the crap out of me, murdered me in two hits then

Spoiler

when I revived I was in fucking prison. I managed to sneak around and pick up the items, before getting murdered by Paal.

But I was freaking the hell out. I'm kinda worried though, I used up all my Poison Knives killing things I probably shouldn't have been fighting...

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

Is there a way to open the gate to the right of the clinic? can't seem to find the lever

 

[nib95]

Yeah, my plasma does not like "bloodborne"

There's a HUD off option no?

 

[TimeEffect]

So anyone try PvP in depth?

 

[convo]

So there is now a theory that high insight makes the game harder? Really strange but another thing to test out.

Got the Blade of mercy? Such a sick weapon

Anywhere in Old Yarnham I can farm/buy Fire Paper? lol

40. Almost nothing in any other stat.

 

[JadedWriter]

Just started playing as a female professional, opted to use the pimp whip, it's not bad actually just have to know when to switch modes but it's pretty fun. Having trouble finding the shortcuts and the lanterns though. I only managed to unlock the central one. Even managed to survive the sewer area pretty well because I wanted nothing to do with those damn werewolves at the bridge and got killed in some house at the ladder passed it. Game is a harsh mistress.

 

[Sykotik]

Nah, didn't find that one. I got another one for finishing the game, but it uses so much stamina, and doesn't compete with my cane sword.

 

[Virdix]

Have the cooperator quit after setting the PW then cancel the bell and rering if you're still having issues.

Ring the small resonating bell first and then the Beckoning works like magic usually less then a minute.

 

[rNilla]

I don't understand why you can't warp from lamp to lamp. You're gonna hit a fat loading screen anyway...

Did you get your throat slit? The bait FROM throws at you for that death is amazing:

Spoiler

You approach a doorway and see something quickly move from the right to the left. You stand still in the doorway and don't enter the room, but position yourself to attack whatever is is on the left. Fucking sneak attack from the right side.

Hey dude congrats! I'm skill-oriented too. What was the other weapon?

 

[GorillaJu]

I invaded a few people in NF because the bell maiden is there by default. It's really, really easy to parry in PVP

 

[chunk3rvd]

If I die then return to the Hunter's Dream, will my bloodstain still be there when I go back to the level?

 

[Karsticles]

Is there a way to open the gate to the right of the clinic? can't seem to find the lever

Midway through the game you find a path to it.

 

[MattyG]

Alright, I have hit a fucking wall. I beat the blood starved beast a few hours ago and have barely progressed since. Just went into the

woods

and got destroyed by some riflemen. List 10k souls. I feel like I misleveled somewhere or something.

 

[itchyass86]

In that case... I guess my hunter is holding a buttload of insight then.

 

[McBryBry]

Man, where is the co op? I finally got the small bells,but there's NOBODY by Father's door.

 

[Aztechnology]

So, I'm thinking

Spoiler

of sending the guy who is in the forest to the clinic. I don't trust him at all, and I don't trust Iosefka either.

So I'm curious to see if something with happen there.

I'll let you know lol. Unless this is a bad idea and someone can stop me without spoiling.

 

[super-famicom]

If I die then return to the Hunter's Dream, will my bloodstain still be there when I go back to the level?

Yes, unless an enemy snatched them up. But you can kill them to get your echoes back. They'll be marked by glowing eyes.

 

[Kinsei]

If I die then return to the Hunter's Dream, will my bloodstain still be there when I go back to the level?

When I did that my bloodstain disappeared.

 

[Incendiary]

Oh God, I think I just found the third boss. Oh God, oh God, oh God I'm going to die oh God oh God...

LET'S DO THIS!

 

[Korosenai]

What does the Gatling gun Hunter drop? Knocked him off on accident and now I can't reach the loot lol.

Your username is a great hint...

Exit game and reload. His body will be on top of the tower.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Finally got around to playing Bloodborne today. First time Souls player. After about 4 hours I can say this will probably be one of the best games I've ever played. It is difficult and very unforgiving of mistakes, but when you finally overcome a challenge it feels so rewarding. I'm actually not dying nearly as much as I expected, but I won't get cocky yet! This some of best level design I have ever seen in a game.

In my time so far I haven't had any issues with the framerate. The visuals certainly aren't cleanest, but the art is so good that it doesn't bother me. Bloodborne is everything I thought it would be.

 

[Papercuts]

Good to know. Any requirements to make them available at the bath merchant? I've only killed Cleric, Father, and BSB so far.

I'm not positive when it first shows up but I atleast saw it after the next boss if you can't buy it yet.

 

[StriKeVillain]

There's a HUD off option no?

Pretty sure he means the constant loading splash screen.

 

[ironcreed]

The Forbidden Forest is beautiful and insane at the same time.

Left to level up a bit and then took a detour to get this:

 

[Laughing Banana]

What is the best stat to raise GAF? And which ones to avoid?

My Huntress:

Really tempted to just go through the game without hats. Possible?

 

[Kazaam]

Respawn and you'll find the item next to the gutling gun.

You get to buy his gear.

 

[AlexIIDX]

Is he one of the early bosses? I didn't have much trouble with him, it only took me around 3 attempts. But the Clerek beast was a different story, took me like 10 or more times, found him much harder.

lol and ive been stuck on this boss for an hour and a half but Cleric Beast took one attempt....once this guy transforms I don't have a second to attack, I don't get it.

 

[Toma]

and got destroyed by some riflemen. List 10k souls. I feel like I misleveled somewhere or something.

Same experience I had, but it seems pretty obvious to me that the game is making a cut after this fight and raises the difficulty significantly. You can bypass most of those riflemen to just get to the next area. Take out the ones on the left side (and a few dogs) and ignore the ones on the right.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Is it still better to get more Str first? I was focusing on EN and VIT because I suck lol.

Depends on your weapon. Endurance is always good in Souls (Bloodborne...yeah Souls)- games. VIT is okay, too. But every boss probably needs only 2-3 hits to kill you so don't invest too much.

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

Ring the small resonating bell first and then the Beckoning works like magic usually less then a minute.

Wow, I'll try this next time thanks!

 

[Sykotik]

Hey dude congrats! I'm skill-oriented too. What was the other weapon?

Spoiler

Saw Spear

. I hated the moveset so I dropped it right away, using the Cane Sword for the whole game.

Completing the game also unlocked: SPOILERSPOILER

Spoiler

Burial Blade

SPOILERSPOILER.

I have no doubt I missed at least a few Skill based weapons, but eh, couldn't find them in the end.
