Wow I bet your game is hard. Use it, go buy that attire over and over and sell for echoes.

Is there some official info on how this works?

Does all mobs get stronger?
Are there requirements to a certain amount to discover some stuff?

I had 99 long before I finished my first playthrough, and didnt find it especially difficult.

Doing NG+ now, and not having any big problems.

 

[AngryMoth]

Yeah I am just not able to get summoned at the moment. I guess there's not many people who've made it to the second half of the game yet?

 

[aly]

Insight being a difficulty scaling would explain so much about why some people are having these difficult boss fights and others don't. I've watched people with different insight levels fight the same boss and there were whole move sets that would and would not appear.

 

[Oxn]

So I get my ass handed to me by Father G like 15 times but finally beat him alone. I'm doing lots of exploring in

Spoiler

Cathedral Ward

and expect to find

Spoiler

Vicar Amelia

as I had heard that was the "next" boss that was really hard. Instead I stumbled onto the turf of the

Spoiler

Blood starved beast

and completely annihilated it on my first attempt, even though I was poisoned the entire battle, having to use blood vials to keep my health from going down because my antidotes were not on quick select.

Did anyone else find this boss super easy? Thing was a cakewalk compared to Father G.

In the experience of this game, the bosses vary sooo much between each person.

Vicar must be the easiest boss I faced so far, along with the Cleric, I beat both 1st try.

Father and BSB took me quite a few attempts. I couldnt heal through the poison fast enough.

 

[f@luS]

Hit start and assign items to the bottom row.

I tried but I don't know how. I just can assign items to the touch pad button

 

[georly]

Does this game have actual suits of metal armor, or is it all just victorian clothing? (Don't have the game, won't have it for a while, don't want to dig through pages and see possible spoilers).

Asking again for new page.

Someone in this thread posted this video that shows some of the effects of insight

Not sure how in-depth this whole system works.

 

[Navy Bean]

Is there a good online guide for this game?

There's a prima guide online walkthrough. Text only as far as I could tell but it's very detailed.

 

[Yoshichan]

Yoshi-senpai! I need help. My stats are:

Vitality - 14
Endurance - 15
Strength - 11
Skill - 11
Bloodtinge - 7
Arcane - 7

Should I just be pumping Endurance as much as possible, or splitting it between Skill for my Cane?

Ignoree skill/str and let the damage increase come from upgrading your weapon and putting in runes in the weapon-sockets. Focus on going with VIT/END, and ESPECIALLY VIT to 30 since it's the soft-cap.

Basically: 2p Vit, 1p End (repeat)
Until you get 30 vit. At that point
1p Vit, 1p End, 1p Skill (repeat)
Until 40 end and 50 vit

 

[Steel]

Holy fucking shit someone tell me how to get out of the

Spoiler

prison area.


I got killed by one of those bag things and everything just destroys me here. I accidently found a boss too, pearl something.

Don't fight the santas.

Spoiler

They're harmless if you don't, you can probably kill everything else. As for way out, the big room with 2 santas on either side of you has a checkpoint to return to the dream in it on the raised part. The santas won't even follow you there.

 

[Astral]

I'm leveling up three weapons at once. I can't choose!

 

[Sanjuro]

The more I play, the more I notice that Bloodborne is basically a Ghostbusters 2 rip off.

Having a fun time with this. Certainly feels more accessible than the hour or so I put into Dark Souls.

 

[esmith08734]

vitality >> endurance.

Eh, just as important.

 

[Conezays]

Level 95 and still have a few areas left to go, Lol.

 

[kaskade]

So I have 2 10 dollar Amex gift cards and I could use that 10% off code. For some reason I'm still into physical games on the consoles. Maybe I should break that habit.

 

[Beaulieu]

Yeah I am just not able to get summoned at the moment. I guess there's not many people who've made it to the second half of the game yet?

yesterday I waited one hour in front of BSB to get summoned.
at this point, I think it's okay to stop blaming the lack of players and come to terms with the fact that the connectivity is seriously broken in this game

 

[Timeaisis]

I really do think enemy combat is easier in this game. I'm dying a lot less on regular enemies than I ever did in Dark Souls. The bosses are just as challenging, though.

I'm still early in the beginning, though.

 

[ValfarHL]

Ludwig's sacred sword +6 is freaking amazing.

+10 is freaking crazy! I think I'm at 661 damage now, with blood gems and STR 50, SKL 28.

 

[Yoshichan]

Any list of -all- the zones in the game?

I'm sensing that I'm nearing the final boss but the last thing I would want to do is accidentally head over to NG+.

 

[Ophelion]

Vicar is freakin EASY. Beat her first try, and only used 8 vials.

What'd you do? She's been for me what Blood Starved Beast has been for other people.

 

[super-famicom]

Yoshi-senpai! I need help. My stats are:

Vitality - 14
Endurance - 15
Strength - 11
Skill - 11
Bloodtinge - 7
Arcane - 7

If you are sticking with the cane like I am, put more points into Skill. When you improve your weapon at the workbench, its scaling will also increase. I have 25 Skill and a Threaded Cane +6; my Attack is at 199 now.

 

[ValfarHL]

Just arrived at caslte

Can you tell me how I get there?

 

[Nibel]

I read somewhere that this game was supposed to be smaller and shorter than Dark Souls 1 + 2, but so far this seems rather gigantic.

 

[Mechanized]

Does this game have actual suits of metal armor, or is it all just victorian clothing? (Don't have the game, won't have it for a while, don't want to dig through pages and see possible spoilers).

Pretty much all clothing after 15-20 hours played here. Tanking/slower movement seems to go against the active nature of this game so I wouldn't be surprised if there was none at all. All clothing has pretty similar stats, the resistances is where you see big changes.

 

[Oxn]

So I have 2 10 dollar Amex gift cards and I could use that 10% off code. For some reason I'm still into physical games on the consoles. Maybe I should break that habit.

Just for this game you should.

You want access to it as much as possible.

Will only be playing this until Witcher 3.

 

[MercuryLS]

How different is NG+? I'm not even close to beating this game, but I was wondering, is it substantially different? Or the same with harder enemies (more damage+health).

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Just had my PS4 delved and set it up, put Bloodborn in happening to play, 3 hour install on the day one patch... Am I missing some PSN settings or is the network just kinda slow?

 

[duck_sauce]

Does co op play even work? I spend hours summoning people spend about 15 insight and never once got a succsesful summon. :/

 

[schlongdog]

People rocking the Holy Blade, how are your stats looking?

 

[Mik2121]

Mhm, is the vendor already available at the Hunter's Dream? You should buy the Hunter gear with that amount of blood echoes.

Yeah, already bought the Hunter gear.

Now I reached this bridge (I assume it's something related to some boss, something I read here but wasn't paying attention). Now I'm even more scared... wonder if there's any save point nearby, because I got a bunch of Blood Echoes and don't wanna die

Edit: Welp, died to the fucking giant dog things

 

[Coconut]

The more I play, the more I notice that Bloodborne is basically a Ghostbusters 2 rip off.



Having a fun time with this. Certainly feels more accessible than the hour or so I put into Dark Souls.

I certainly feel less intimidated while exploring locations than DS and DS2.

I have various options available to me at the moment. I can carry on to bergehworth, or take the right hand path past the grand cathedral. I can also go to the Hidden village. Where do you peeps recommend i start first?

 

[super-famicom]

What'd you do? She's been for me what Blood Starved Beast has been for other people.

I beat her on second try. Just hugged her right leg and butt by rolling forward to avoid attacks. Very safe to do charged R2 attacks while behind her.

[Oxn]

What'd you do? She's been for me what Blood Starved Beast has been for other people.

All I did was zerg her when full HP, and when Im low move and drink vial.

When shes regenning i just keep striking.

Which was why Im perplexed people says shes hard. It was just tank and spank for me.

 

[Kinsei]

Yeah, already bought the Hunter gear.

id you kill the two giant dogs on the bridge? If not do that and looks to the left for a path down into that building.. Through that building is a shortcut back to the last checkpoint.

Oh, and you could have gotten some free hunter gear if you explored.

 

[Navy Bean]

It's shaky, at best. Although I was able to immediately summon twice last night.

so I just tried to Shareplay with my brother last night for the first time (a lightbulb came on in my head and was like "duh" why don't I just show him how to do some things) and apparently my internet connection is too low. I have average teir for Time Warner Cable and don't have a problem streaming Netflix/Amazon movies or even Playstation Now but I can't do this...what gives and how high does your upload speed have to be?
It sucks I can't take advantage of this PS4 feature.

 

[Servbot24]

goddamn this game is intense :O

 

[cpp_is_king]

There's a different way out if you went to he left at first.

Yea but it just connects back to cathedral right? And it looks like a one-way exit

Oh yeah. I think it's the way to get to that area without buying the key. Did you get the meteorite?

Doing NG+ now, and not having any big problems.

Are you planning on doing NG++ or do you don't believe there is any reason to do that?

 

[Coconut]

yesterday I waited one hour in front of BSB to get summoned.
at this point, I think it's okay to stop blaming the lack of players and come to terms with the fact that the connectivity is seriously broken in this game

Or people just aren't using those items to summon I think the best bet is to arrange a game word and summon location with people and go from there.

 

[Magnetic_North]
