Really struggling to find my way in this game. The combat I am used to but I'll be fucked if I can figure out where to go. I'm at the moment hunting around Cathedral Ward. I killed the first 2 bosses and the BSB no worries.

Now I am stumped. I have found a round lift that eventually leads to a locked door. I've also found some seriously tall enemies in a different section including one with a massive ball and chain who batters me. Any tips where to go chaps?

Yay EU got the cool cover for the steelbook.

Btw can you download the soundtrack to a ps3?

 

[Fhtagn]

Find the right path. I was able to do it the first try. And it is worth it, trust me.

Well, gosh. I tried at least 6 times last night. The load times don't lend well to this sort of thing so I moved on to exploring other areas.

Spoiler

i can see there is a tiny plank above the door, and that is below a couple larger platforms that seem hard to get to. Does the solution involve run+jumping or is it all just careful drop downs?

 

[Drewfonse]

You know, I realize that I should feel guilt about summoning for some of the Bosses, but It don't. The feeling of accomplishment is somewhat diminished, only somewhat. But I just love the sense of camaraderie that ensues during an epic battle. I don't know these people, they don't know me, but all of a sudden they're bowing, I'm rolling around furiously because It can't remember how to bow, and it just feels...right.

Love this game and all things Souls.

Thanks for the answer guys. Im having like 99 bloodstone shard with no use lol

What do you get for defeating another Hunter in an invasion?

 

[pronk420]

What weapon you have is of no consequence in that fight

What matters is how good you are at parrying

you can parry? like with the gun or what?

 

[Yoshichan]

So Yoshichan what are you final thoughts about the game compared to Dark Souls.

As soon as I'm done with this, I'll tell you

 

[sssstententen]

I try to keep just a little bit over 10, and I'm level 50.

-

I'm worried I'm going to hit level 100+ in the middle of the game and won't be able to co-op with a lot of people.

You can spend it at the shop, or let enemies take it from you. Its really not a big issue.

I have 51ish around Rom and I am doing fine, I just chalked the difficulty up to game progression.

Don't fall and die lads, don't fall and die.

Just lost 310k souls because the bloodstain isn't showing.

This glitch has never happened in the 1500h+ I've played Demon's. Why did it happen within 60h in BB?

Ouch.
I've had it happen already myself, looked everywhere and anywhere, it was just gone.
I've also had it move to weird spots several times and had to search to find it. Hope they fix that.

Spoiler

you will have to do a run and jump from a tiny platform on the right side. Run in a circle to get to max run speed first.

 

[Drewfonse]

Spoiler

Go to the Cathedral Ward lamp, take the door on the right, ride up the elevator (requires having killed the blood starved beast in old Yarnham) take the left over the bridge and start going up the tower. You will find a badge in a chest near the top and then you can buy it from the vendor in Hunter's Dream for 20k blood echoes.

LE BOOM!

thanks!

 

[Donos]

Saw scales with strength.

Doesn't it also scale with skill? It has a D for Skill and STR. (cleaver has only E for skill)

 

[Stone Ocean]

Correct

Both his forms can be parried normally with gun shots

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

About 12 hours in and it feels like I'm taking my sweet ass time lol. I'm level 25 and I've only beaten two bosses. Leveled up my ax and I have two tempering blood stones attached to it. I'm one shot killing a ton of enemies. Just got to old yharnam. One thing I'm barely using is my pistol, I can't get the dang timing down to parry certain enemies. Should I use blood stones to upgrade my pistol or save them for something else?

Ok good, that is something I tried but botched. Thanks! I'll get there!

Happened to me twice already, although both times I had exited the game before retrieving so not sure if that's why.

Late game question.

Spoiler

Can you still fight Amygdalla if you never went to the Nightmare Frontier before defeating Rom?

 

[Yoshichan]

No. I fell, died. I've killed everything around those parts.

Terrible. Kinda Lords of the Fallen'ish

Its fucked. I've had the same thing happen. I've even had enemies with my blood nowhere near my location of death. Its frustrating.

Take the path right in the Cathedral Ward. Get on the lift and go across the bridge and immediately hang a right. Go around and drop off. Then carefully make your way down.

Sometimes an enemy in the area will take the echoes after you die. The enemy will have glowing blue eyes and once you kill them you'll get the echoes back.

 

[Navy Bean]

The Stake Driver R2 Charge is ridiculous...and fun. Not sure it's that viable a weapon but I could see myself using it occasionally.

How far into OY is the torch again? I can't find it.

STOP! Just do the farming run as suggested in another post.

 

[todahawk]

Because an enemy picked it up?

Not in my case. I killed everything in the area.
I've also had it on the ground in locations that were fairly far from where I actually died, just weird spots.

Rom

finally key for me was definitely using bolt paper, relatively easy in retrospect

 

[choclaterra]

This game is actually harder than other Souls games I'd argue, I played and finished DeS, and DaS1 several times and I'm getting my ass handed to me in this game, I wasn't even a turtle in those games.

Combat is genius though, incredibly good but punishing as well.

 

[Mechanized]

So this sucks. I died yesterday, lost just over 5000 echoes.

Spoiler

Got impatient, died to the troll on the bridge who bowls over the group of guys with the flaming ball. It was dumb.

Anyway, I saved and shutdown. Came back to the spot where I died this morning. No echoes. The same enemies came at me, figured one of them picked up my echoes. They died again, but not to me.

Spoiler

To the troll.

No echoes. So then I killed the troll. No echoes.

Question is, can you not regain your echoes if you shutdown? Or did I lose mine potentially because an enemy picked them up and was then killed not by me but by another enemy?

Ending the play session wipes out the echoes as far as I can tell. Also.. 5k? lol I lost over 50k last night. Gots to move on my man.

 

[Donos]

Because an enemy picked it up?

Maybe but i also had this situation yesterday that i returned to the place where i died. Echos were missing at the exact spot i went down so i killed all enemies in that area but none had my echos (only 10k so no biggie). Could be a glitch that the echos don't really stick to an enemy and get lost sometimes.
Edit: seeing that more and more ppl had this, i guess this really is a glitch. Hope it gets adressed in the next patch. Not finding a 400k echoes bloodstain again would seriously make me toss some magazine racks around.

Thats why I just started buying them. Takes no time at all.

 

[aly]

Yep it's better just to buy a bunch honestly. Also, with the regain system, certain gem's and runes, you won't even need to rely on vials very much other than for boss fights. I kinda wonder if that was the point and that relying heavily on vials is not actually the point.

 

[JJD]

So there is a

Spoiler

door

in the Healing Church Workshop that I want to get to. However

Spoiler

i can't figure out how to fall to it without dying.

So, is this A) just a matter of coming back later when I've found the Bloodborne equivalent of the

Spoiler

Cat Ring? (Make falling do less damage)

or B) I am just not clever enough to find the right path?

(Please don't tell me exactly how to get there. A or B is enough for my curiosity, thanks.)

You're not finding the right path. I got to that door early and had low vitality and still survived the fall. Just make sure to always use potions before the next fall.

As I've read you are going to get more out of it by going strength and the cane you are going to get more out of it going skill.

 

[Namikaze1]

How's Ludwig's Rifle? Any good?

 

[Elfstruck]

I think it's kind of funny how it's faster and easier to farm echoes than vials

You can get like 10-14 vials per run if do the Father shortcut run.

 

[Servbot24]

Is it required to do Chalice Dungeons? I'm not sure where to go after BSB aside from that, but I'd rather save those for later and continue with the main path.

 

[sssstententen]

Takes less time to buy them. This is including farming echoes.

Certain spots like the forrest and unseen city will give like 8-12 vials and 15-20k blood in one 2-4min run. Its great.

What I really need to grind is bullets. Canon is so bullet hungry.

Okay will do. I did try that route once but died on the way down and figured it might not be possible to make it all the way down

This glitch has never happened in the 1500h+ I've played Demon's. Why did it happen within 60h in BB?

I had that same glitch happen yesterday. I went through the area with a fine-tooth comb and it was nowhere to be found, especially not near around where I fell. There are a lot of small things like that they really need to address in a patch, because it adds up.

 

[Rixxan]

This game is a legit candidate for best combat of all time

you can make the argument

Is this what everyone meant by next gen gameplay? lmao

 

[Future]

Anyone actually upgrading blood tinge? Due to scarcity of bullets I tend to ignore the stat and when I look at the preview stat increase from upgrading it, I see nothing worthwhile.
