No, it was some beast. People keep saying the second boss but I don't have PS+ and wondering if we get different bosses playing offline.
You should be fine playing offline. Anyway,
the boss is in the next chalice (Central Pthumerian Labyrinth) that you get for beating the first one

lol, they sound ludicrous!
They are really cool at first, but once you learn their tricks, it can get a bit repetitive. Most of the bosses in the earlier ones can be beaten in 1-2 tries, as well.
 
gave an old lady sanctuary at the Church, went to talk to her thinking that she's going to give me something, she basically told me to fuck off. ;(
 
Seeing as I could never get an answer:

I spent about 5-6 hours testing out co-op and PVP.

First you need to get the 3 bell items, Beckoning Bell, Small Resonant Bell, Sinister Resonant Bell.

When you have at least 1 insight warp back to the dream world and the messengers on the floor will give you this bell.

In order to get the Small Resonant Bell and Sinister Resonant Bell you must have 10 insight in order to merchant to appear just outside the house window/door, after that you can purchase the bells for 1 insight each. The merchant will disappear if you go below 10 insight.

I order to use the Beckoning bell you need to be in an area where the boss has not been defeated, ring the bell and it will open you up for others to enter. The player that wants to join you must then ring the Small Resonant Bell, this can usually take between 10 seconds to a few minutes. To make this easier to connect select options and go to network, in network set your region to worldwide, for some reason this never worked when set to local, and set a unique password and give this to the person that wants to co-op with you. Also note that your levels must not be more than 10, so a level 31 player cannot join a level 2o player, but 21 and 31 will be fine.

After successfully creating the co-op session you will also get a notification that a sinister bell is ringing, the Bell Maiden has entered your world and opened you up for invasion, you need to seek this bell Maiden and kill her in order to prevent invasions, if you do not you may get invaded continuously.

Also take note that any player being summoned into another players world for co-op will have 30-40% reduced health and only receives half the amount of blood echoes as the person who summoned them.

The same applies for the Sinister bell, you can ring it at any stage and you will be summoned into a co-op world to defeat the targets. If your summons dies you will still be invaded until you kill the Bell Maiden so keep that in mind, 1 on 1 invasions can still occur.

After you defeat the boss your co-op session will end.

There is a 4th bell that you get later in the game called the Choir bell, it takes 10 bullets to use but will heal everyone in your co-op party. You can have up to 2 players join your world and then another invader.

On top of all of this you can also co-op Chalice dungeons but it works slightly differently, the person that wants to coop needs to create the Chalice Dungeon and then set it to public, there will also be a key on the bottom right side looks something like eeg768fw gives this you your co-op partner. The co-op partner now goes to the Chalice Tombstones and says search for public game, enter this code and it will enter you into the dungeon. When the main user has entered the dungeon ring the beckoning bell and the partner rings the resonant bell, you will no be warped into their dungeon. Completing each layer will disconnect the co-op session and you will have to either reverse the summoning, so summoner becomes the summoned or the other player can run through the layer by themselves and then ring the bells at the next layer to continue the session.

Hopefully this helps a few people :p

On a side note it seems the Nightmare Frontier area will be the main PVP area, as no matter your co-op status there is always a bell Maiden there so you can be invaded in this area 1 on 1 unless you kill the Maiden.

I've only played through the first 2 chalice dungeons though. Maybe they'll get deeper. :O

Ah. I've only played through Pthumeru Root Chalice, and since it was separate from the first Pthumeru Chalice I assumed this was considered the second dungeon. I need 3 more Ritual Blood (2)'s in order to unlock this central one. Thanks!
 
Unconfirmed? The video seems pretty convincing.

I'm basically saying YMMV. May work for you. Certainly didn't work for 2 other recent posters.

Yeah, Pthumeru Root is just randomized first type. Central and Lower are much bigger, and much scarier, and I assume that Hinterlands and onward are going to be batshit insanity.

Added insanity points to Pthumeru if you use the Fetid Offering option when making your Chalice, but that's not available until Central Root.
 
WTF?! Why does the game say it's not fully installed?! My download was complete! What's going on here? They're not letting me progress from Father G.

The root chalices only seem to be a remixed/randomized version of the original chalice. I think all except one of the bosses were the same, but the arenas were different. I honestly preferred the original (since you get a unique boss instead of...
a pig
).
 
Only played an hour. Really liking it so far, not fought a boss yet as just been experimenting with the general mapping and enemies.

Just wish I didn't have to wait so long to respawn on between deaths.
 
Ok so apparently there is a cap on the maximum insights you can have...99. I used madman knowledge and it stayed at 99 :(

Im on NG+ so can someone tell me if there is anything specific i can only get with insight? like weapons or armor? Or should i just spend it on items and save my blood echoes?

I honestly dont know what to do with so much insight :\

Also i started doing chalice dungeons in NG+

Are they only 3 layers per dungeon? I finished 2 dungeons with 3 layers each. Am i in the correct path to unlocking all the chalice dungeons?


Anyone can answer the above?

Also i just tried to play a bit and use the beckoning bell to get rid of some insight and 4 times in a row i get disconnected from network almost as soon as i use the bell -.- and the insight i used was gone...still have 95 insight but still wtf...

This didnt happen before when i played

The Root chalices can have more/better loot though, and the original's loot is never random, even across players. I did the first Chalice twice. Once with me as the creator and one with my friend as the creator. I also did my first Root and we did his first.

We got nothing but shit loot in mine, but we got the Uncanny Saw Cleaver in his.
 
Got Lidwig's Holy Blade finally and I love it. Feels good staggering all those enemies that just hit me in the midst of my cane attacks.

PS4 allows you to play the first couple of hours of a game, while the rest is downloading in the background.
Check your application status, it will say like 3-4GB installed.
 
Accidentally got into a fight with a the second boss. Realized that he was a
hunter
and my
pvp
experience from dark souls 2 kicked in. I treated the fight like I was
invaded
and kicked his ass first try. Feels good man😎

The should make so you can see the open active Chalice's available (people already playing that Chalice and allowing co-op) and let you join straigh away.
The way it is now I dont think much people will bother to co-op there.
 
The one where you consume all 3 umbilical cords and fight not only Gerhman, but the Moon Beast too.

I'm... a worm? lol

I can't wait for the community to piece together all the lore but
in that ending it seems like you've turned into a baby great one that will replace the Moon presence/beast thing that you killed imo. I'm assuming that it's what controls and causes the hunt

Erm, I apologize for the dumb question, but how do I do that ^^; ?

EDIT: Yeah it says size 29.89GB, download status complete

I actually got that same weapon in my root chalice, but in general, most of the loot seems to be more ingredients for chalice rituals.

I'm more interesting in to know who the hell MP is/was. My bet is on Mergo
 
Press option on the ps4 main menu when you highlight bloodborne and press status or information

Okay.... Yeah it says size 29.89GB, download status complete.

I don't get it, what's wrong?

EDIT:

Okay, I'm not too sure what just happened, but it works now- sorry for the panic ^^
 
Just want to ask again, I got to the U
nseen
V
illage
area, and I'm curious if I can keep playing from here and go back and find hidden bosses and areas. I just don't know if this is near the end because I don't want to finish it until I can do everything in my first run.
 
Maxed Ludwig's Blade out (I conceded to looking up where the final upgrade material is). 549 ATK at 25str/25skill. Blood gems make a huge difference.
 
Edit was because I thought you were talking about a different weapon. Also did not know it had a charge combo, will definitely test this out.

Yeah uhh, its just a forward jab. Hold r2 and release as they get near though, the damage on a charge attack will surely stun if not kill.
 
is there anyone who can help me take on the boss of cainhurst? I REALLY want this fucker dead.. best I did was getting him to about 20% but I ran out of viles. this dude is gnarly.

I'm level 60, btw.

Yes you can, as far as I understand it's an optional area.
 
Edit: It's a great weapon but so far my hunter's axe R2 still does way more damage.
Yeah idk man, I was originally going Kirkhammer route, but I get rekt against speedy hunters/bosses. I'm not sure if this is going to do any better, but I may end up going back to my starter axe.

Countering him is really effective to shorten the fight.

No I mean pressing R2 right after the charged R2 attack results in another attack animation. The jab is followed by an overhead swing.
 
Just wanted to say that I am feeling this game way more than Dark Souls. And I love Dark Souls. But I just enjoy this game's atmosphere, combat, and general stucture far more. Which is pretty impressive, and super exciting!!

I dug so much about DS, but in the end I can just never care as much about stuff like knights and dragons as I want too. But I sure as hell can care about a ruthless hunter carrying a devastating shotgun in conjunction with a devastating axe, and turns into a monstrous beast once his health is low enough.

That shit is RAD. LOVE THIS GAME SO HAPPY.
 
Yeah idk man, I was originally going Kirkhammer route, but I get rekt against speedy hunters/bosses. I'm not sure if this is going to do any better, but I may end up going back to my starter axe.

The kirkhammer is very good against fast bosses, just leave it in sword mode.

Yeah I tried using the Kirkhammer but I just can't get used to it in later areas. The axe still hasn't let me down yet.

Good to know. The first dungeon had extremely simple layouts which reminded me of why I hated procedurally created content. Glad they'll get bigger later on... or maybe not.
