You sort of do, actually.

You have to ring the co-op bell (the one to get help, not the one to help others) in almost all areas in the game for a Bell Maiden to appear and open you up for invaders (in NG anyway, can't speak for NG+). Only the zones where a Bell Maiden is present from the start have old fashioned invasions and even those can be stopped by killing the Bell Maiden.

Since I solo and or do summons to help others, I've never been invaded once in BB and I'm pretty far in.

Today I invaded someone who was alone in the

graveyard area (cant remember the name)

. I never saw a Bell Maiden appearing there without co-op but dude was going solo.

Blood Soaked Beast KO! Clutch stun and counter at the end sealed the deal and made my hands shake. Love this game.

 

[AmethystEnd]

How do you do co op in a dungeon with a friend? We couldn't figure it out yesterday.

lol please tell me how to coop. I've tried everything

You need to be in the same dungeon. So you share your dungeon key with your friend, they search for it, and then you summon each other from inside.

I played DS2 with no shields my second time through. It was super fun, learning the iframes is great.

If ever you played DS2 with shields you were doing it wrong

Anyone interested in some co-op Chalice dungeon fun? I want to tackle lower Pthumeru. You need to have done 1-2 chalice dungeons before though, the game says there are some requirements.

Trying to summon someone to kill BSB but none are showing up. I feel like this will take many more tries... (and grinding for antidotes).

In blood space, man.

Made a video of this level clip. Sky has changed so it doesn't look as cool as before.

Did you suspend BloodBorne at any time? The new suspending feature on PS4 seems to break the online, need to restart the game.

For some reason I can't use any magic. My fire and bolts papers are greyed out. What is this?

Holy fuck the boss at the forbidden forest!

I did pretty good for my first attempt

2 of 3

 

[TheApatheticOne]

Get to VA, getting rekt just as hard as I did against BSB. I mean... that range! 360 degrees for like.... 25 yards.

Of course, I summon help. First time I do, guy gets punked within 5 seconds of combat. Second time... maybe lasted 15 seconds. Thanks fellas... glad I waited about 15 minutes to connect to someone for help... and you can't buy me half a minute.

Taking a break! Haha

You're using a weapon that already has an element on it (maybe Arcane damage?)

Do you mean going to the home menu or going into rest mode? I've gone home but not into rest mode.

Made it to Vicar. She didn't seem too difficult, just very drawn out. Died the first time due to a dumb mistake, will try again tonight.

 

[Ferrio]

Rest. When you rest now with a game open it keeps it open and suspends the game. Seems to cause issues with connecting when you boot it back up.

Been waiting for someone to answer my bell for ages now, it's set to worldwide and everything

 

[Jamaro85]

I think I just got glitched out of 20k echoes =/

I had the resonant bell ringing by the two brutes near the elevator to

Spoiler

, and got pinned into a corner by them like a genius. I died, and I'm sitting here staring at the blood stain where my echoes are. The game isn't looking for a beckoning bell, nor is it resetting me to a lantern. I can't pause the game nor take any action other than panning the camera.

This is by far the most echoes I've had yet from doing a bunch of bosses cooperatively. Anybody else experienced anything like this? It's looking pretty hopeless as I can't even properly exit the game to try to load back in this game state.

Oh ok I just checked. I thought I was cursed or something.

Been playing for about 6-7 hours, on and off, and I just got to the first boss.

I need to grind xp and vials. What's the easiest way to kill the big axe motherfuxker? I can't figure out the best time to stun and get a visceral.

 

[Uthred]

Pretty sure Im about to face the last boss, I believe the game (unfortunately) dumps you into NG so is there anything I should be sure to do before hand?

I got the blood rock from Mother Brain

Fyi he isn't guarding anything.

Can you farm it at all?

 

[ValfarHL]

I was able to get some success by leading them all toward the back left, then sprint to the huge gravestone to the right, the katana dude will follow while the other two will lose line of sight so you can hack at him for a bit. I'd recommend charged R2 attacks if you can get the timing + range down. He's also really susceptible to parrying, but if he hits you, he hits hard as fuck. Once either of them hits around 50% health, I think, the fight gets progressively harder. Katana dude is the biggest pain in the ass if left alive, then the caster, then the flamethrower. I had to do it multiplayer because it was just too much.

Yep, one of the more hectic boss fights. Those damn

busted my balls completely the first couple of times. Everything before that wasn't too bad, imo.

Shoot just before he's about to land a strike. Then R1 up close. It was to me the only way to beat him early on.

I don't think anything drops them more than once. It's easy to farm insight with co op tho.

- any idea how to get an extremely precious blood gem? It's a trophy.

- where is Eileen after you finish her quest?

- I'm looking for covenants but can't find any besides the Vileblood one.

*anyone?

 

[ValfarHL]

Mobs do drop them, so I guess yeah. But I can't see why you need it? I easily maxed out on insight way before I was finished with my first playthrough

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Does fireblood gemstone give you fire damage? And if so does it change scaling to Arcane? i want fire damage but not at the expense at losing my str/dex scaling

 

[mellow]

can't wait for all of the lore videos to start popping up, from a world setting standpoint, this is one of my favorites across any medium, movie, film, manga, etc. Seems a lot more 'in the open' story wise, while still being obscure enough to retain that Souls series way of story telling.

 

[Alucrid]

not having any trouble summoning today. got the BSB down and the three bros down

 

[fastmower]

Do you guys have any tips for being summoned? It takes 10 to 15 minutes and sometimes doesn't work at all. (Worldwide search of course)

Thus far I only know about those rats in the sewers in the first area.

 

[Foffy]

I think it adds a boost when your weapon is augmented with it. Fire damage boosts don't offer fire, but offer a boost when your weapon is on fire. At least, that's how it works with Arcane.

 

[Papercuts]

Shit. I wonder if that's what's been messing me up since my summons aren't doing jack shit today.
