I'm finding this way too easy. I got from the very beginning, after you die to that beast before you get your weapons, all the way to defeating the Cleric Beast without dying once. Please tell me things get harder?

 

[Drewfonse]

It's such a good attack, I used it to kill those annoying gun guys in the first part of the forest, snuck up behind them, spun attack to kill all four at once lol so satisfying

How do you do the axe spin attack?

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Personal effects shortcut was such a great idea that I can't believe it wasn't in the series until now. I can pop my heals right on it so that I don't have to keep switching between items.

It's really the little things with this game.

Your potions are always on their own button though.

[Aces&Eights]

So uh yeah, I'm stuck on a ladder with a giant ass pig trying to get to me. What do?

lol, climb up the ladder outside his tunnel entrance, go across bridge and climb down another ladder to come in behind him. walk SLOWLY up to him and R2 to him then R1 to pull out his bung hole.

Ran a chalice dungeon solo. Was fun as hell. Last boss was so hype, and the rewards are sooo good!

Yes they do. I did the same early on but now...

Just like the other Soul's games.

 

[zephervack]

Tip to deal with that boss below:

Spoiler

I recommend staying close to him and making sure to stay back when he starts slamming the ground or dodge as he tries to grab you. Don't attempt to stun or use molotovs. It's a waste tbh.

I got him on the first attempt by just dancing around him and through his legs. The camera angle is bad at times, so remember to always try to have him in your sight. You could try skipping locking on.

Thanks, I actually kind of rage quitted yesterday but Im ready to try again today

 

[Jb]

Wait what is this?

Click on the right side of the touchpad.

 

[KoruptData]

Completely agree VA and BSB in particular were practically pushovers in comparison, didn't even die to BSB.



You just accidently unlocked a great area for farming souls and blood vials. Just don't waste your time on the santa's, you can walk away from them.

Is there an exit to look out for when I'm ready to leave?

So do you guys think Gascoigne

Spoiler

killed his wife? I thought it might have been that beast he kills when you see him, but maybe some beast came and he just killed everyone? The girl says the box brings him back, suggesting he was a danger to his wife occasionally.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

I have the materials necessary to make my first Chalice Dungeon. Is that something I want to do as soon as possible? What are the rewards? Couldn't find much info on the wiki.

 

[ChasingComets]

Wait what is this?

Click on the right-side of the touchpad to open a shortcut menu where you can store an additional 6 items. I only discovered this by accident when I was trying to emote.

It's so useful for summoning items and the less essential/situational stuff.

 

[Liamc723]

That's good to hear, I guess finishing Dark Souls and having an aggressive nature in games in general has rubbed off on me haha. Looking forward to the harder parts!

Sorry I already posted this but thread is so quick!!!


Can anyone confirm if you can play offline while downloading patch and then reload and start playing online after patch is installed? Cheers, in advance!

Another day without Bloodborne in the mail. Awesome

I think

Spoiler

he definitely did, considering she was looking for him and where her corpse lied, she was probably thrown there. Either that or the villagers Gascoigne is mangling killed her.

Regardless, It was probably what tipped him into going completely insane.

 

[bombshell]

Wait what is this?

Click right side of touchpad, you can assign six items here. Good for items that you don't need to use in a hurry. They are better to put in quick items slots.

 

[theSlacker]

I find it a little odd after the souls games to have this stash of insight that is permanently safe from being lost. I was kind of waiting for my number to disappear after death or some type of occurance, but it seems it doesn't need to be paid attention to at all.

Spoiler

Oh it's not safe. Some things can remove it from you. It is safer then most things though, but even that comes with a downside since the more you have the harder the game is as well.

I think he transformed and killed his wife. I mean, look at the guy, he's not exactly a model of stability.

 

[Deku Tree]

Ok I got the PvP bell and the bell that allows me to be summoned into other peoples games.... and I got the PvE bell that allows me to do Co-op with other people... if I do boss helping then do I get more insight each time?


...and what is the good boss to do as the third boss? It seems like I have more than one choice...

I am now level 27 or 28 and I am mainly upgrading vitality, endurance and skill BTW.

repeat question for new page:

> kills the first boss which is one of the easiest bosses

From reading these threads almost everyone seemed to die at least once in the opening hour so I went into the game expecting it be tougher.

 

[GrizzNKev]

I have the materials necessary to make my first Chalice Dungeon. Is that something I want to do as soon as possible? What are the rewards? Couldn't find much info on the wiki.

Do it. The first one isn't that tough and fits well if you're still in the first segment of the game (first four bosses).

 

[jrcbandit]

is there any way to cheese the bsb fight i've tried it all

Go through the locked gate in

Spoiler

cathedral ward section (key costs 10k)

and explore until you find the armor there that has high poison resist.

Use fire paper on your weapon.

That combo made the fight very easy.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Haha man I love that part. Go up and around him

kill it, it has no health

Yeah, I tried to run away, but thought it was a stupid monster so turned around and whooped his ass lol. Oh sweet! I got a badge to get a Saw Blade and some Blood Dew!

 

[Jeevez]

Can anybody lend a hand at father G? Rang my bell with he GAF tag looking for some help.

 

[dreamlock]

Got Father G down to 10%...like 7 times...I will vanquish him today!

Spoiler below on how you can make that fight a little easier - optional if you want to read it or not.

Spoiler

Use the tiny music box. It basically stuns him as he finds it agonizing. You have 3 uses before he transforms and 1 use afterwards iirc.

You can also try parrying him when he charges, but that's way harder after he has transformed.

Link to a walkthrough detailing where you get the music box. Do note that it is full of spoilers - visit at your own risk.

You will get fucked.

Keep playing. Enjoy.

 

[AuthenticM]

Is staggering via guns always meant to work when you shoot the enemy as they are attacking ? Because it's not always working for me. Are there attacks that don't leave enemies open to being staggered ? I need more info on that mechanic.

 

[ChasingComets]

Your potions are always on their own button though.

I'm talking mainly about things like antidotes. Speaking about potions, it's great that it has a dedicated button; really love how the inventory has been streamlined so much, which is probably one of the biggest improvement over the souls game.

[mrklaw]

stuck in cathedral ward. Door on the right is closed, if you go left and up the stairs the main gate needs an emblem. But I've been everywhere else I can see.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

I feel like insight should NOT be used up when just ringing the bell. Only used up when you have successfully found someone.

 

[taybul]

> kills the first boss which is one of the easiest bosses

Yeah other than a few of his swipes, Cleric sends a freakin' postcard telling you his next move.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Do it. The first one isn't that tough and fits well if you're still in the first segment of the game (first four bosses).

Cool. Do you get blood gems or materials or weapons or is it just for fun?

In that grave yard to the left of lamp post, don't go up the stairs to where that giant guy is, there is another path in area that leads down to elsewhere.

It's right:

See, answered each other questions.

Also you can still get to old town, mrklaw, without the emblem.

Eh, The only difficult thing about Father G is the area you fight him in.

Insight appears to be a combination of Humanity and World Tendency from my experience. Take from that what you will.
