So... did anyone do a pebble build yet?

 

[Deleted member 30609]

So, a door in the cathedral just opened. No indication as to why. Weird.

 

[Yoshichan]

Hmm, I've got a rune that says "Vial HP recovery UP!"

Kinda makes sense that equipping this will increase the efficiency of my vials, right? I'm not noticing any difference though It isn't even giving me 50% health, but rather 40% like it usually does.

 

[Zakalwe]

Are there many players enjoying BB who didn't enjoy the previous games?

I have a sealed copy on my desk, but I never could get into the Souls games so I'm hesitating opening it. The more aggressive playstyle and aeshtetic is much more appealing to me.

 

[razgriz417]

Is coop working for anyone? Trying to get summoned outside 4th boss in the cathedral at lvl 29, no hits :/

 

[N° 2048]

How do you apply and use ruins? Feel like I am missing something.

Pretty much how I always feel playing this game. In a good way though.

You mean in Cathedral Ward? The door simply opened up because

you beat BSB.

 

[Fee]

Anything good behind the gate with the emblem to open it for 10k echoes?

The next boss/s, you can get there without paying the 10k, but i have no idea how any average player would find the shortcut.

 

[idonteven]

so sad about the dupe glitch,already got friends bragging this game is easy and then i ask what their lvl is -.-

That Bone Ash set looks super rad.

For the people that want it you have to

Saw people having trouble getting it pages ago, just wanted to help.

Yep, the Ward. Interesting. Should I be randomly running back to doors marked "Closed." to check following bosses?

 

[Neverfade]

How do you apply and use ruins? Feel like I am missing something.

After you beat BSB and get the Rune Tool a) have some runes and b) use the rune workshop desk, straight through the door of the dream house.

Whats your password? I could help.

It might be broken. I don't think there's any real difference when using it either.

 

[catspit]

Hunter pistol vs Blunderbuss? which is the better choice... pvp/pve etc..?

 

[Lazulic]

Could anybody inform me of the

Spoiler

guy on the ceiling in the one big room who instakills you if he teleports you up in a blue light?

That might sound cryptic but there's no good way to describe him, and I'll probably have to come back later.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Whats your password? I could help.

^I have beaten BSB and I don't have that tool....

It's in a different area I believe

 

[Fee]

Where is the shortcut?

Through a area below where you get the trophy "The Source of the Dream."

 

[JimPanzer]

I really like chalice dungeons, hope there's some unique gear in them. chalice dungeons+diablo-like loot progression = hnnnnnggg

Damn I don't want to go back there. Place creeps me out :/

You get it after another boss. It's probably optional, but you'll likely run into it soon.

 

[Steel]

so sad about the dupe glitch,already got friends bragging this game is easy and then i ask what their lvl is -.-

Out of curiosity, is this the duping glitch? I wasn't trying to glitch the game and I haven't tried it since.

Uhh... I think I glitched the game:

[Shaded woods to Clinic shortcut]

Spoiler

I don't think I can get to cainwurst anymore. To preface, let me say after the creepy doctor chick took her first patient, I started attacking her door and pissed her off to the point where she went away. A friend found the way to get into the back of the clinic to check what that crazy doctor did to the people he sent them, fought her and got the invitation to Cainwurst.

On the other hand, when I went there I she was no where to be found and there was no invitation. Now, this is where things get glitchy. I walked back and forth over a spot in the clinic multiple times when I was looking around and I would get 2200-some souls everytime I did for some weird reason.

I backed out after getting 8000, as I don't really want to glitch souls. But did I ruin anything? Is there

Spoiler

another way to get to that dungeon?

 

[AngryMoth]

Hunter pistol vs Blunderbuss? which is the better choice... pvp/pve etc..?

I think the pistol is easier to parry with whereas the blunderbuss does more damage. Pistol has better range though, obviously

 

[Darryl M R]

The way I see it this will be great for PVP but you can still die in this game.

bone ash

armor looks amazing, especially on my female char

 

[Raven Prime]

Where is the shortcut?

Spoiler

Defeat BSB, go up the elevator on the right in the cathedral ward. Find the area in the tower where you can jump down (and fall to your death easily) keep going until you reach the ground level, open doors, go through the streets take the elevator on the left, jump down and pull lever.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

Just beat BSB on my second try with the whip!!

 

[fuzzyreactor]

Arcane scaling is absolute crap for every single weapon that has it.

Not worth it. Have 40 Arcane, it sucks. Unless they fix it I would highly advise never putting any points into it.

what about the spell items?

 

[Rhaknar]

Spoiler

Forbiden Woods

[Rektash]

Just beat

Vicar Amelia

as my third boss. Took me a couple tries since holy shit, she can beat the crap out of you if you don't pay attention/dodge accordingly. THE RUSH!

 

[JimPanzer]

ugghh the IGN bloodborne discussion...2 minutes in, already the 30-fps-is-more-cinemtatic-argument...ffs

 

[Namikaze1]

Well, found a shortcut that I missed when I went to fight BSB. Went exploring when I found it. Would have been useful back when I was running around Old Yharnam many in-game hours ago!

You beat the area. The altar stuff is related to the Vileblood covenant AFAIK. There aren't a lot if details about those unfortunately

Spoiler

There's an item you can get from a window npc in the forbidden woods that will cause you to get teleported into a new high leveled area instead of getting killed

 

[Kamina]

Anyone in the 90s willing to help out with Father Gascoigne on NG+?

I always manage to get his health to about 1/5 but his beast form just has too many chain moves and kills me.

Anyone?

You rock! I'd love to find all this myself but life is just too busy.

Thanks to everyone in this thread who has been insanely helpful!

chalice dungeons co-op anyone? >

covenant rune, one of the green ones? That might be the reason why it's not working.

no idea what the effect of the Vileblood rune is. sasuga localization

It has to be alive first. Game hasn't been out a week yet. Many are still just playing the game. It'll get there. Need to give peeps time to figure everything out.

that's not an excuse for waiting 30 minutes and getting no invasions.
it's not like there is an arena or something, you invade people with a bell maiden, 2 locations even have them by default when you get there.

so unless everyone is playing offline this is just not working.

 

[Yoshichan]

Just maxed out my character!

 

[mrklaw]

Can you beat Hayne one on one? Seems insanely tough.

 

[DanteRavenkin]

I think he's a good guitar player.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought like that. I nicknamed my hammer "Hammett" for that very reason.

 

[VinFTW]

So, anybody know where to go after the

witch? Seems like my only option was to go where that invisible giant keeps killing me.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

[OniBarubary]

Just beat 3rd boss

Spoiler

Blood-stained Beast

on my...5th try? And I don't think I've ever felt more excited and accomplished after a boss fight.

First 2 times were all my fault. I figured out his pattern, got his movements down and then got overzealous or didn't check my stamina and got swiped. 3rd time I died to

Spoiler

poison damage because I didn't realize his attacks poison

so I learned to watch that. 4th time I died all of a sudden and had no idea why until the 5th fight when I realized

Spoiler

once you get him to like 25% life he starts spraying poison which affects you whenever you are close to him.

. As a result, I was zipping in and out keeping my eye on like 3 meters and my heart was beating 10 times a second. Finally got him down to one last hit, made a bad dodge that dropped me to 30% life then just hit him with a heavy attack to restore life and

Spoiler

antidote

before I could die.

Jesus Christ, this is one of my favorite boss fights I've done in most games. It was all on me and I stood up and screamed like a champ, waking my girlfriend (who was a much scarier and one-sided boss fight).

 

[ThisOne]

Is there any reason to keep all these worthless gemstones that raise my attack by like 1.5%? Should I just sell them?
