wait I thought those were the hard caps?

Most stats soft at 25. I *thought* VIT was 30 though.

 

[-tetsuo-]

From Software is amazing. This game is amazing. I don't understand.

 

[Finalow]

Spoiler

It's at the end of the fixed depth 3 one iirc. If you keep moving through the Hintertombs ignoring the root dungeons you'll get it.

thanks, by the end you mean that I get it from the boss of the last layer (layer 3 I presume)-?

 

[Papercuts]

I ask again, is there any advantage to having high Insight? I am 99 in NG+ and just beat CB. I want to know for sure before spending all my Insights because if there is no advantage to having high Insight then I might as well use it.

I feel like there must be some reason to run around with high insight but I have yet to see or hear anything positive about it.

 

[BrokenIcarus]

anyone noticed this?

http://www.lazygamer.net/general-news/psa-bloodbornes-insight-is-linked-to-difficulty/

Welp, I didn't know those guys could NOT have those buffs.

 

[Phat Michael]

No you use the Beckoning Bell, the one you get for free.

Thanks. I'm gonna use this then the blood potions to lure him then use the fire paper. Will try this tomorrow..

 

[N° 2048]

Seriously who thought it was a great idea to have 5 million snakes in one area?

lol relax dude.

Spoiler

It's like 4 million

 

[Raybunny]

Most stats soft at 25. I *thought* VIT was 30 though.

As far as I could read soft caps are:

Vit: 30
End:40
Rest: 25

 

[Moofers]

I can join you, choose a password.

Thank you! I am offline for now but later tonight I'll try the GAF password.

 

[TheWriter]

Are guns ever going to be useful outside of parrying? I want to use the new pistol

Spoiler

Evelyn

but the damage of guns so far is so low that I never invested any points into that stat. I know the canon is pretty OP, but I really want to try a pistol build.

 

[Newtype-001]

I am level 28 and the last boss I killed was BSB.

Spoiler

Unseen city feel harder than anything before.

Am I at the right place?

Nope nope nope that happened to me too.
go up the spiral staircase all the way to the top. Skip the enemies hanging there and use the lamp to GTFO. Where you are at is an end game area.

 

[Darth_Caedus]

Guys, what is a good point to start doing optional stuff? Is it right before you beat Rom? I don't want to miss anything.

 

[ChasingComets]

Holy fuck I finally hit a brick wall with R

Spoiler

om the stupid spider

. Seriously this boss this like, "How fucking lucky are you? Let's TEST IT."

Spoiler

You really have two options; thin the herd and go for the kill. In the first option, it's fucking impossible to predict where those ice barrages fall even if it's telegraphed so clearly. You can dodge one, but 3 others hit you. The second option is worse, those spiders literally carpet bomb you, and they get so aplenty towards the end that's it's almost impossible to get any hits in.

 

[Yoshichan]

wait I thought those were the hard caps?

Sorry, I thought you were asking for soft caps!

Vit: 30
End: no soft cap, only hard at 40.

Strength soft cap?

Thanks.

25

 

[Jamaro85]

I'm a little fearful to go back into the Cathedral after doing a bunch of co-op and getting insight up to around 30. For those who recently crossed that threshold, how's it going for you? I'm wondering if anybody decided to spend their insight to drop back below 15.

 

[F0rneus]

As far as I could read soft caps are:

Vit: 30
End:40
Rest: 25

Is it still worth it to level your primary attack skill to 40? Cause I'm thinking of doing that. Getting skill to 30, really made my Cane hit much harder.

 

[_h8bit]

Having a little trouble finding

Spoiler

Darkbeast Paarl

. Could someone point me in the right direction?

 

[Rektash]

Well I just killed the

Spoiler

Witch of Hemwick

as my 4th boss. Where can I find BSB? I assume it is somewhere between Cathedral Ward and the Grand Cathedral, must have missed some sort of branching route there.

 

[TheExodu5]

Fuck these garbage bag motherfuckers.

 

[Dahbomb]

Guys, what is a good point to start doing optional stuff? Is it right before you beat Rom? I don't want to miss anything.

Do the NPC quests before that for sure.

 

[Yoshichan]

Yes, hence "soft-cap". It's a really, REALLY good idea to get your main attack skill to 50. After that, you only gain one damage per point spent.

 

[dan2026]

So a patch is coming next week?

Hopefully this will sort out the framepacing.
It would be too much to hope for a load time reduction yet I suppose.

 

[Cheesewheel]

thanks, by the end you mean that I get it from the boss of the last layer (layer 3 I presume)-?

Yeh.

 

[GRaider81]

How do you make your weapon spread flames like I keep seeing in vids?

 

[DNAbro]

Go left of cathedral ward I believe

 

[Endo Punk]

Found a weird bug, the game and trophies don't show up on my what's new feed, yet I can see trophies earned for the game from friends. I'm not sure if that's because disc vs download but yeah, my bloodborne data is not being shared.

 

[Zomba13]

I just finished, too. Level 95, I think.

Spoiler

The Gehrman fight was indeed awesome. I rarely parried throughout the game, but I went one handed with my ludwick's holy blade just for him, lol.

Yeah I got through the majority of the game without parrying. There was a boss where it helped a lot but I couldn't get the timing down.

Used it to great effect on him though.

 

[Mazre]

Crucible boss

Spoiler

Watchdog of the Old Lords

slaughtered. Liked that fight a lot.

 

[Audioboxer]

Guys, what is a good point to start doing optional stuff? Is it right before you beat Rom? I don't want to miss anything.

Do the NPC quests before that for sure.

Listen to this man I locked myself out of a few because of Rom.

Going to go massacre those NPCs I have and see what they drop lol.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

When you think of it, Bloodborne is a biohazard game.

You got a biological device that has infected the local populace... organization conspiracy... little girls....

Even memos now!

 

[GulAtiCa]

How do you make your weapon spread flames like I keep seeing in vids?

Use Fire Paper. You find it in the game around time of BSB boss (3rd boss for me, but optional area). Around same time you can buy the item for 1 Insight each.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Do the NPC quests before that for sure.

I wish I knew that before I beat him just now... Anything important you can miss? Eileen's quest is still going it seems, found her at the cathedral.

 

[duck_sauce]

Oh man...the

Spoiler

Unseen City

is pretty hard. All those

Spoiler

respawning mobs

are really messing with me. How can you possibly go through that area? Always killing the

Spoiler

bell women

first seems like a tremendous chore and everything but easy.

Any Tips?

 

[Darth_Caedus]

Thanks to both of you. Will do.

 

[tesqui]

Fucking alfred man

Spoiler

WOW when you give the unopened summons to Alfred he fucking demolishes Queen Annalise of Cainhurst. It's a pretty fucked up scene.

 

[Nameless]

anyone noticed this?

http://www.lazygamer.net/general-news/psa-bloodbornes-insight-is-linked-to-difficulty/

Hmm...Beating VA put me right at 15 insight. I did a fair bit of exploring/leveling afterwards and didn't notice a difference. Do the echoes drops increase as well?

 

[Ceravic]

Yup, even when parrying I can't beat the

Spoiler

Shadow of Yharnum

. Got

two of them down one time

, but can't even come close now.

When cursed he is super fun

How is this possible if he is not

wearing the illusion crown

?

 

[Auctopus]

HOLY SHIT.

I dropped my insight from 30 to 10 and Amelia went down in one go. Fuck me. Thank you to the user who told me insight makes the game harder.

 

[Coconut]

I'm kinda on team saw spear now.

 

[Golgo 13]

So. . Got to Rom

Spoiler

seems like beating him is just a matter of tremendous patience? Run far away, maneuver around the small spiders, hit him once or twice, rinse and repeat? There doesn't seem to be any other viable tactic. If there is, enlighten me GAF

 

[Randam]

Fuck it, VA is ridiculous.

Spoiler

fire paper makes her easy mode

 

[Audioboxer]

I'm kinda on team saw spear now.

It's fun, but TwinbladeGAF is the best

 

[Sayad]

Surely that's not confirmed?! I have 30.

I can confirm that at 15, the lantern dudes in that area start using their projectile attack, which they would't use if you have less than 15 insight.

 

[ScottSullivan]

Spoiler

Forbiden Woods

is a OCD nightmare

also, looked at my echoes...70k. this was my face basically

so I went ahead and used a bold hunter's mark lol

Ugh I hear ya man, I lost 50k echos there because my bloodstain on one of the bosses disspeared after I logged out and logged back in. There's like 4 paths to go here and I'm trying not to miss anything.

 

[Primethius]

Kill the spiders to make it even easier. Just a test of patience. You should be able to one-shot them if you hit them from the back or side.

You kill the

bell wringing women

. There's two inside buildings but there's one hidden.

Go up to the area past the circle of old women to the open area where the

Spoiler

cthulu monster

fires beams, there's a tiny gap in the ledge to the right that will lead to the area's hidden bellwoman.

Killing the

Spoiler

bell women

also makes the monsters they were reviving weaker.

I'm having major problems with

Spoiler

Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos

, feels impossible right now.

That's not how you spell Ludhig Holy Blade

 

[Auctopus]

I can confirm that at 15, the lantern dudes in that area start using their projectile attack. Which they would't use if you have less than 15 insight.

Just took her down in one go after dropping my insight. Thank you.
