Who is a pretty girl? I am. That's who.
 
Morning bloodgaf. Got a clear schedule today so ready for a full day of hunting.

Could someone help me understand chalice dungeons better please. I've made 2 but I didn't have any choice in the ingredients, so were those random or are they the presets? Also, I haven't been able to summon anyone at all in them, what's up with that?


Oh, and welcome to the rest of the UK! You're in for a treat :)
 
Im trying to figure out just how chalice dungeons work. I was told they are randomly generated but i went into two different ones that had the same first floor?
 
Chalice dungeons are pretty cool!

I am only to depth 3 and things are already getting dangerous and tough. I have seen a bunch of assets and bosses and enemies in chalices dungeons that don't appear in the regular game.

My god the repeating pistol is awesome. So much damage. It's basically an extra attack swing on your enemy. I can definitely see a Vit tank / Bloodtinge build working with Blood Bullets.
 
Small question about Chalice Dungeons: does the difficulty matter where you set it up in the Dream, or is it to simply allow six slots?

Also, how do you even use the one that requires a short root or whatever it's called? I haven't found anything meeting that criteria, unless the game means the Root Chalices, but I'm using the non-random ones.
 
I accidentally hit an NPC a few times D:

Is there a way to get them to forgive me like there was in Dark Souls 1?

Also, this game is incredible and will surely end up being one of my favorite games ever.
 
I can't get co-op to work when I want to play with my friend : ( It works with random players but not with a friend.

We even tried my chalice dungeon that you can create and share with others. He used my glyph code for the chalice and joined. I can see his ghost so that means he shares my world.
But when we use bells it just doesn't work. Is it a stupid character level difference that's preventing us to play together ? He's like 20 below me.

the level difference is most like the problem, yea


Also, if insight stacking makes the game harder what is the tradeoff? What is the benefit?
 
It is pretty much the coolest thing that I've found. Hope there are more completely secret areas like that. One of my favorite things about DS1 is how it would hide complete zones from you and if you missed them, you missed them. Games just don't do that any more and want to make sure everyone sees every part of the game that was made.



Well there is a high chance of it. That much insight would cause anyone to go mad.

the description in game for insight is "depth of inhuman knowledge", with that much inhuman knowledge (99 lol) he is probably insane already ;p also good luck with frenzy dmg.

It's simply slots. The difficulty is mostly based in the depth of the chalice. Should be a number shown when you highlight a chalice.
I'm working through depth 3 pthumerian right now and it's tough.

The root chalice appears to be a special item. I haven't found it yet.
 
4 Hours in, killed the cleric beast but Mr. Gascoigne is now kicking my but. Will get him soon.

Not feeling it quite yet like I did with the souls game.. I miss my ranged options and I'm still stuck with the same weapon.

Sure it will click when I make more progress.
 
There's multiple times where there's 2 or 3 different bosses you can tackle, I don't understand how that pales compared to DS...

I didn't say it pales. Just that the world feel more linear comparatively to the DS games. In the DS games, I always felt like I had plenty of places to go. In Bloodborne I keep feeling like I'm either in one of two areas available, or the only area available.

It's still a very impressive and open world compared to most modern games of course, but I feel like the openess of the world is less than the DS games.
 
This is how I feel as a newbie

Made it to
Old Yarhnam
and the
sniping hunter
keeps whooping my ass. Guess I'm not supposed to try and fight him yet. It's been really fantastic in my first 5 hours of a From game.

There is a path through this area where you can get from cover to cover without getting hit once from the gatling. Right before the area where he starts shooting you is a way to the right, down, where it goes through a broken house. Follow this path and you can get till the ladder up the tower to this guy.You have to lure some enemies away from open areas so you can sprint through them to the next cover. When you finally reach him, be aware that he is very tough and fights like invader hunter with doging, shotty, parry and everything.
 
Man
Darkbeast Paarl
has to be one of the coolest looking boss in a Souls game. Love the fight, hell even
Hypogean Gaol
is a cool area to explore. The level design, art style, enemy encounters. Love it all.


Right now just helping other players drop
Paarl
before I try
Rom
again.

I'm in the same dungeon, not randomized, layer 2. there is a door than I cannot open. It's says, "does not open from this side" but I can't for the life of me find any way to get to the other side of it. ideas?

I'm on depth 3 Pthumerian myself. Stuck at the second boss there. Can it be parried?

You sure it's not randomized? I though they were all randomized. I'm on layer 2 as well but haven't gotten very far yet.

The only time I really felt like that was at Central Yharnam, but even there you can choose from 2 bosses. I also feel like there's quite a few hidden and easily missed places that increase options.
 
I heard something about a
cave and fighting Iosefka
. Did I miss that?
yup, same boss. Sorry for the confusion
Ah ok.

For the cave, go to the left at the gate to the village where the trap is. Like to the place with all the dogs in cages. Go past the dogs and there's a small path into the cave
 
I'm super looking forward to wasting my weekend on a productive run in Bloodborne. :D

So what are people's weapon of choice so far? currently loving the Chikage and Blade of Mercy right now

I'm sticking with the saw cleaver until my next play through. It has been reliable and I doubt that will change.
 
HOLY FUCK 50K lost to that stupid
cannonball
in forbidden woods I am so mad right now.

Need a break, I'm far too worked up. Keep getting myself killed by stupid mobs because I'm rushing. What a quintessential souls moment.
