I think the first one isnt randomized, and the rest are and use it as a base?

In the first Pnumerhu Chalice I found an area with an underground garden but the randomized version I played were all based on the first layer. Also the first one was exactly the same as the one showed in the launch event.
I have yet to enter the lower version though.

And yeah Chalices get scarier once you go down. Holy shit the sound design of this game...

Could be. Or perhaps they use the random generator to form a level and then go back to add in other elements.

Agreed with the sound design. Those large crows in particular scare the crap out of me every time.

So.... What's the consensus on how to approach the "Girl at the Window" side quest?

I killed father g on my first go. I go back to hunters dream and the maiden isn't there for me to level up? Is this normal?

She's probably standing in front of one of the graves. Look for her

[Tiamant]

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.

Thanks for the spoiler.

I have two issues with this game that I'm not sure are bugs or me not understanding things. Sorry if these been asnwered time and time again, there's a lot of thread to read through and I'm affraid of spoilers.

-My bloodstain with blood echoes seems to disappear after I exit the game and return later. I'm pretty sure I didn't miss them or they were picked up by an enemy - this has happened multiple times now, sometimes in a boss room with no other enemies to pick it up. Is this supposed to happen?

-When I select to see a spectre, it very often doesn't show up. The bloodstain disappears and nothing happens. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

First thing I've never had happen to me, i mean that's not suppose to happen. As for the spectre thing, something is fucked up with the network. My suspicion is so many people are dying that the stains are getting replaced so fast you can't even view them.

I returned it to her...

Wow, I feel kind of bad. I finally summoned someone for YoS but then the game dropped to single frames per second as I was moving through the fog gate so I was stuck at 1FPS while watching the boss HP go down.

Return it to her so you can get a badass White Messenger Top Hat at the end of the questline.

Spoiler

After giving her the item, don't talk to her again and don't send her to any safe location, kill some bosses until her older sister asks you to find her, kill the nearby boar under the sewer to find her dead body, give the older sister the blood soaked ribbon, warp to the Hunter's dream, and her older sister will commit suicide by jumping down near the stair and you get the Top hat.

Shit is dark brah.

I'm all about being adventurous!! Sounds legit will make follow up video if I roll back through the area.

CALLING ATTENTION TO THIS AS I'VE SEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS FINDING THEIR BLOOD ECHOES AFTER DEATH

First, no I'm not going to be condescending and say they're probably in an enemy.

What I have for you is a personal experience.

In a Chalice Dungeon, I had this happen to me. Went back to the room I died in. I killed every enemy in it, and scoured the floor inch by inch. Nothing. Killed every enemy in the surrounding rooms. Nothing.

FINALLY. Went back to the original room I died in. Bloodstain in the FUCKING CENTER of the room in a brightly lit location I would not have missed on the first pass.

My conclusion; Missing bloodstains are a graphical glitch. Spam X in the general vicinity you died or try running across loading boundaries and going back to hopefully have them load.

Further anecdote that convinces me of my theory: I've had invisible enemies during co-op in Chalice dungeons. I know they're not supposed to be invisible because my partner could see them.

 

[Donos]

Yeah I winded up there today too. Getting completely obliterated by them. That whole area is nightmare fuel

but that ambient sound /atmosphere is really something else.

 

[dark_prinny]

Why I can't buy fire papers from the insight shop? It doesn't shows up in the item list.

Yeah, I played a Chalice that featured new mobs with my headphones and shit was downright scary.

It is always better to give the thing to her.

 

[A.D. Skinner]

Don't know if it has been posted, but From Software didn't supply enough of either special edition of this game to GAME to even fulfill pre-orders and is first come first served at the stores. If you haven't collected yours, run.

[Sickbean]

So I'm not all that far into the game yet (near BSB), but can anyone tell me if the locations get a bit more varied?

Like in DS1 you had some fairly distinct areas (catacombs, depths, undead burg etc), all right at the start, with some out and out crazy areas such as Ash Lake.

Everything so far seems very well constructed but also very samey.
