I died once because I turned my back to her adds I wasn't aware showed up and they bopped me. My 2nd attempt I flawless victoried those hoes.

I did, and I took down BSB in one try and have spend way less time on a few objectively harder bosses. It's not a particularly hard battle, but I just kept getting caught in that one witch's grapple beam and then she'd slit my throat and before I could heal I'd get hit by a minion.

I didn't even beat them for real. The boss battle that I won on had some bug when I got the first witch down to a sliver of her health. The health bar didn't go down but she still died. Then the second one appeared but had the health bar of the first witch (with only a sliver left) so I hit her once and she died.
 
Sorry if this has been asked before, but which weapon is that one in the trailer? That scythe weapon? I might picking up this game soon, and want to know if I can rock that early on?

Is there a reason to do the "root" of the first Chalice dungeon? From what I understand it's the pre-configured layout for it?

I already did one that I "made"...never looked into how these work. But I was impressed that there were unique mobs and a boss I didn't see in the game.

Bloodborne doesn't seem to suffer from Blue Smelter Demon syndrome.

Some Chalice bosses are Blue Smelter demons, basically.

Keep the stone in the middle between you and the dudes that spit fire. The guy with the sword is just going to be up in your shit, so I aced him quickly. Then whittle down BOTH guys til they have very little HP. You want the third guy to be near death when the other dies cause phase 3 is wacky as fuck.

Sounds like Demon's. Except there I'd go into NG+ just for another chance at the damn lizards. They don't seem nearly as important this time.

Yoshi, was it easy enough to get a weapon to +10? Possible to bring more than one weapon to +10 before NG+?
Click to expand...
+9 is possible for all weapons. +10 is impossible (1 item per playthrough from +9 to +10).

just walked into the area with the Shadows of Yharnam. Figured it was a boss area, but I didn't know for sure. Then these three motherfuckers pop up.

LOL, that was literally my face too.
I was like really?
3? At least 1 is fine...
Fuck it, I got 50k echos. I am out bitches!
*Used hunter's mark*

Tip:
Kill the range fire ball guy. Afterward, swing your sword like crazy and dodge-forward into them.
The two melees are a bunch of sissies, and will just back away while you hack them to death.

I believe the mobile summoning sign is correct. I rang the bell at one point and moved to a whole new area and all the sudden someone joined me...I shot my little flair gun thing and I was still ringing the bell even though I started in a completely different "zone".

I noticed that too. Friend and I tried summoning each other and it didn't work until we moved.

Interestingly - we were standing in the same place both times but it worked in one spot and not another, so it seems that maybe summoning doesn't work in certain places.

Fascinating!

Beat boss 5.

Ah. Well, from a Souls veteran perspective: every game has always let you invade anyone, whenever. It's a hallmark of the series. So, for me, this is quite an unfortunate change.

I'm known better games that have reviewed poorly for less or the same shit, this game does it deliberately, I don't know what to think.
At the moment I'm looking for redeeming qualities, I might return to it later but I'm done.

And before you say it, I keep getting gang up on by Mr Multi hit combo kill.
The village people are easy, the small dogs are easy, the birds are too easy and wolves are fine and so are the big guys,
but I get really far for just one of them to comes out of nowhere and decides to creep up on me from behind while I'm fighting and it's game over everytime, then it's a long loading screen and back to square one.
I've got loads of blood vails, I either don't need them or it's too late, resetting your Bloodpoints is a scummy move too.

This is one of the funniest posts I have ever read on GAF.

NG+ only, they say.
 
Can we stop having people to
buy the chief hunter badge for 10k after the BSB?
all yoy have to do is go back and talk to gehrman for a hint on what to do next.
 
Using a saw cleaver, would it be worth it to dump a bunch of points into STR? Also, is the kirkhammer worth it? And does the hammer also scale with STR?

First souls game? I recommend playing with headphones, people won't be able to sneak up on you :)

Resetting the currency is probably one of the most important fundamental aspects of the game. It makes exploring new areas terrifying, and really sells the "face your fears" theme.
 
Sorry for the super quick answers btw guys. I'm basically F5'ing this thread, while replying as much as I can, while slaughtering some fools in-game.

Despite two of them having fire powers, I found that they were pretty weak to fire. Definitely focus on one first. I think when a percentage of the group's total HP is gone they all turn into snake-men. If you kill one before touching the others he should die as they transform. I then took the other two down individually, so I only had to fight one during phase 3.

There's only 1 blood rock found so far by killing a certain enemy. So it seems right now you get 1 per play through. I'm at the end of my NG+ right now, but haven't done many chalice dungeons yet. I'm thinking the high level ones could get you the material too.
 
I know people have been defending it but I REALLY hate having to farm items. Blood vials and antidotes especially.

I'm on a boss that poisons
blood starved beast
and I'm out of blood vials and antidotes. Fuck that. I just want to fight the boss, not spend an hour farming shit every few attempts.

Wait, what enemy? I thought that item was a drop on the ground? In that case, you can get 2 of them per playthrough.
 
so I'm stuck in the upper cathedral ward and don't know where to go

im guessing im missing something in this large dark room with werewolves and those mindflayer things? I've scoured it though and can't find anything, do I need a key to unlock a door from elsewhere or something?
 
Nose Master said:
Parrying works well against the sword guy. Use the big tombstone to hide from the magic guy. Once they enter the second phase, kill them asap. They start doing some ridiculous shit if you take too long. They're stunned easy-ish, too. So you can usually snag candle guy and katana guy in the same combo, depending on your weapon.

I made it to phase 3.
Took out two of them and the fireball guy summoned snakes.
Died instantly. What the fuck.

One of the tentacle enemies drops an Orphanage key. You can use that to open the main door and then the gate back to the lamp. There's also a path to the left leading to a staircase.

On the left and right side there are narrow hallways (ground floor), check right side for item, left side to progress.

How the FUCK do you beat the 2nd boss with the cane?
Click to expand...

The cane makes his first form piss easy to cheese. Just get him on the other side of a tree or tombstones and use the whip form to clip through geometry and hit him all day. When he transforms you'd better have some molotovs ready.

I feel like we need this in the OP:

You do not need consumables for the fight. You do not need to heal 20 times to beat these bosses. If you are going through 20 potions, that just shows you that you have no idea what you are doing and are approaching the fight poorly. When you learn how to handle BSB, you do not need antidotes.

Sure, no one is perfect, and we all get hit. But this continual notion I see that people go and farm 20 vials before every single boss attempt is revolting. When you understand the fight, which is the point of how this game's combat works, you will need little to no healing to make it through the fight.

Literally have 3 health vials left.

Guess it's time to farm. Again. What a shitty system.
Click to expand...
Don't blame the game for your failure.
 
Interesting to see all the complaints about blood vial stock.

Was grass a similar issue in Demon's Souls? I don't remember having to farm for it very often and I haven't had to farm for vials in Bloodborne yet (admittedly I'm only at boss 4)

This is very good advice. I typically spend 2-3 attempts on a boss using no items at all, just learning its movement, attacks, and patterns. Then I do a few attempts where I consciously use minimal items. That gives me 4-5 attempts without having to worry about stock. Then once I have a good idea what I'm doing I go in a bit more, but I've rarely used more than half my vials for one fight.

down where the werewolves Are There is a path to the left with a ladder there are two doorways at the top i missef it my first time
 
5 bosses down, need some help here.
Got CB/FG/BCB/VA/Witch down

I've taken a left out of Vicar's cathedral gone down, killed the two hunters and followed that path down past the two big dudes into a massive circular room, when I walk to the door opposite I get picked up by some magically shit, throw 100% into the air and some ghost thing crushes me. I'm guessing I shouldn't be there yet so where do I go?

I do have in that second tombstone place (where the guy with the bag takes you)that massive electric monster but I don't think I'm supposed to face that yet, seems ridiculously hard and I've explored the other side of that place with the pigs

Also lol @ that witch fight even being a boss, was like a slightly harder pinwheel

NG+ mechanics:
You get dumped straight to NG+. They did not learn from DkS2, sadly.

It's the same deal as Demon's Souls. Except people didn't think Demon's Souls required consumable grinding. They knew they had to learn the fight and stop getting hit. Bloodborne has brought a lot of Souls newbies in to the series, so they think this is like an RPG where you need XP to level up and get lots of items so you can just tank through boss damage or something.

This is close to how I do it. My first fight, I will burn through all 20 vials if I need to just to experiment and understand how the boss works (I am very trial and error in how I approach stuff). Of course, since I am careful, I usually have 30-40 more vials in stock. Then I start going in no items trying to perfect what I know. After a while I get the "I got this, I can do it" feeling, and I will use vials as necessary to cover my mistakes. Folks just need to learn how to learn how to approach these fights. We should do our best to discourage the "farming" mindset.
