There is a way to kill the giant eye beast. Go to the lower castle lamp and take the cage elevator up, then take the next cage elevator up. If you pay attention, you'll notice the door of the second cage going up doesn't actually close. There will be a small doorway partway up the you can hop out of the cage to get into. That takes you where you need to go.

I dunno man
Bloodtinge builds seem very interesting to me at the moment
And also Arcane could prove very interesting as well
People need to do the research and upgrades and figure this out. I think a lot of people are still in the comfort zones this game creates with the starting weapons but there is certainly more meat on the bone in my mind
Wanna see how far I can push the a Maxed out Repeater Pistol

I was going for a hardcap now. 50 in each, but this is interesting. I wonder what's better: Working on a hardcap in strength or going straight to skill. I've increased my Strength to about
27
This is what happens when driven mad by delays.
I'm watching people start to speedrun this, seems WAY more frustrating than it is for souls.

This is the whole game, really, and the whole franchise for that matter.
"Take no damage, ever" is basically my whole approach; if something takes a long ass time to kill, so be it.
People keep mentioned how there's so much more "action" here; I'm taking it even slower than I did past games.

When you upgrade weapons, they usually get an increase in scaling. My Threaded Cane has a B scaling with Skill; it started off with a C scaling.

I found it in a depth 2 Pthumerian root chalice dungeon from one of the large black and gold chests.
When doing this run, if you go dow the ladder into the sewer instead of across the bridge, you can run past the pig and go up a ladder. When you get to the top the big guy lights the Boulder and often take a huge hit of damage from it so is easy to kill. Also means you don't need to bother with the guys on the bridge - they'll usually all be killed by the Boulder, you'll get their blood, and then you can mop up any drops from them.
I can imagine your character admiring the sight of Yharnam with blood dripping from her clothes and weapon.

Yeah, I am dreaming that I can have a pistol or shotgun build.
gonna play through with a skill build before I experiment though.

I am glad that Plat is at least somewhat doable in this game.

Doesn't raise damage for normal attacks, you'll notice if you upgrade the sword your scaling may raise but damage doesn't. If it affected overall damage you'd see that number raise. Not sure on L2, I always forget it actually does something. There are gems that can give you an element, I found an arcane one and it turned all of the Kirkhammers damage to arcane. Which is odd. lol
Also that was the only rune I've found that does such a thing in about 20 hours.
So for the LHB it would probably best to find an arcane gem that can fit one of its slots, then you'd get the scaling benefit on normal attacks.
Ah, okay, thanks. I haven't actually pump my arcane stat, now at 8. Thought I would focus on strength and skill, the usual, until I learnt that Holy Blade has another stat to scale it up for even more damage.
Oh wait, the gem turns all damage into arcane huh. I guess I'll reconsider the plan to pursuing arcane path then.

There should be more tampons in gaming
To be beckoned to another hunters world, I understand that the summoning hunter must not have fought the boss yet but must the potentially summoned hunter must have not killed the boss yet as well? I'm trying to co-op with a friend and it's proving to be impossible. We've set the same password and parameters for online, so I'm a little confused as to why it's not working and what I previously mentioned seems to be the only thing that could be causing this hangup. Please help!

Anyone have a list of all the optional bosses? I think I only missed one.
Still have to beat it three times and finish the chalice. Way harder than DS2 imo.
Eh, you don't really need to disparage other people's play styles. I really took things in, and did several of the optional areas, and was only slightly slower than Yoshi at 24 hours. It really, really helps that the bosses are generally the easiest in the series. Stack HP, go in with full blood vials, and circle-strafe ftw. Over half went down on the first attempt, and all but two others on attempt #2.
There's a lot of additional content, and the Chalice Dungeons have, like, 30 new bosses or something, including some "mega" bosses, and a bunch of great sidequests and side areas and features to add replay-ability. It's a fantastic game, totally worth a second playthrough, but that doesn't mean that people that get through the game quick are somehow doing it wrong.
WTF...I have been stuck in the first area for 4 hours maybe more. The guy from ign said it took 12 hours for him to beat the first boss.

Load a saved game file.
Select Load Game instead of Continue.
You start finding them pretty early in the game, actually. Just take the time to explore some and you'll probably stumble upon one.
Yup. I also can't wait to discover how interconnected the world is. I have a bit of an obsession with game worlds like that hehe.
You don't want me on PSN btw?
Didn't I already add you? I get like a billion friend requests a day so sometimes they blend together and it's hard to filter which ones are people I actually know or not. I thought I added a Yoshi. What's your PSN name again?
I know. I know. I'm still shifting on the character creation screen. Everyone who knows me knows how I play games. I spent over 50 hours playing Bioshock Infinite just to admire the art direction. I'll probably end up with like 170 hours in a game like Bloodborne. I can't wait.
I'm not so sure. I wasted 10 bullets trying to time his attack for a parry and all it did was get me slapped silly. I mean I killed him my 2nd time around, but still I didn't learn anything :/
He destroyed me multiple times in 2 hits, before getting good enough to stay alive a bit.
Attack
the big boil on his left leg. It will explode and he'll take a huge amount of damage.
After that, boxing tactics. Get in, get off some hits, get out. Respect
his range
he can attack on all sides
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

Yoshi isn't really human.
He is an incubated experiment from post cold war Germany in which scientists wanted to focus on test subjects that were subjected to thousands of hours of gaming instead of playing or socializing with other children.
He is a God-Damn monster.

I'm near the end and still mostly use the starter saw cleaver, with some holy blade on the side.
Yeah, and 25 Arcane lets you use magical items.
But I am not sure if those magic items even increase the damage that much if you pushed for full physical damage in the STR scaling.
BB would benefit a lot with a stats reset item like DS2.

So basically, take Yoshi's playtime and multiply by 2?

Guys, calm down. Please. Plenty of people have already beaten the game on GAF
I took my sweet as time. If you watched the stream, you know how many times I just stood still and complemented the environments.

Yoshichan's skill level in gaming is not to be doubted. The dude is like a zillion times better than me at Dark Souls. I would fear ever encountering his phantom in my game. Would probably piss myself. He'd be like a NG+++++++++++++ boss where you only get one soul per every ten kills or some shit.

Don't pay any attention to that as well any posts regarding finishing the game. Completion is your goal, not anyone else's.
Don't know, some equalizer Settings. You can't see them in the app.

I just ran past them lol, especially in the second Nightmare area when they become damage sponges.
Guys, calm down. Please. Plenty of people have already beaten the game on GAF
But you're perhaps the only one who beat it after uncovering many secrets and optional bosses, plus two Chalice Dungeon!

They all scale occurring to your upgraded weapon stats, so those are misleading. For example, Ludwig's Holy Blade is setting at "D" for strength, but the more you put into your attribute the higher it gets raised. I'm sitting at a "B" for that weapon. Zoned out on that for a second... weapon stats that get upgraded, not your own.

I found a way to cheat the three times beating it if your simple refering to getting all the endings. I got two, just need the third now.

Slightly inaccurate. The letter scaling changes based on how upgraded the weapon is, not your own stats.
The scaling increases when you upgrade the weapon, I don't think it has anything to do with your stats
