Rom, the fucker is the most stupid boss in a souls game. Those shit spiders can one shot me. How is this fair? Bullshit.

Nevermind. I killed him.

[fuzzyreactor]

where do i go after BSB? already beat witch and amelia(sp?).

also, when and where do i get healing bench workshop

 

[F0rneus]

Nevermind. I killed him.

From Software game frustration in effect I see haha

 

[Betty]

I did explore that place. Going to the top led me to a locked door, and going to the bottom just leads to me falling to my death.

Ah, but you can reach the bottom without dying, and that leads to new locations.

It's tricky but there's this really, really thin strip of wood after you drop on the broken sloping bridge near the bottom, from there you have to jump onto a wooden platform and then further down.

Word of advice though, bring a healthy amount of Blood Vials.

 

[careksims]

Finally downed Paarl Got defeated 2 times and didn't come back to it til way after. I love the Holy Blade.

 

[CrovaxPSO]

I went to the

castle

, took the elevator shortcut, had to AFK, and when I came back I had 24,000 souls for some reason. I definitely had almost none since I had just gone back and leveled up. Weird.

 

[Man]

Is it just me or doesn't all bosses have trophies? There's a couple I have beaten solo yet no trophy.

 

[zma1013]

I'm still not quite sure why they regressed from the excellent format of Dark Souls 1 and being able to do everything at the bonfires like leveling, upgrading, and refreshing the level. That decision always struck me as odd in DS2 and continues to strike me as odd here as well.

 

[Beelzebufo]

I did, he caught me and barely hurt me. his status thing he was doing only went halfway too, I guess because of the set im using maybe?

Nah, it still only goes halfway even if you have the lowest frenzy resistance clothes.

 

[TheExodu5]

Found Tonitrus. Is this worth using?

Also, what's up with he Tomb Prospector set? It's terrible and expensive. There must be some upside?

Finally...Ludwig's Rifle. Still using the Blunderbuss. Stats don't seem any better, so I'm not sure if there's an upside.

 

[ironcreed]

Alright, Rom. I do believe I have found a way to bring a resolution to our little conflict. Let's do this.

[Majmun]

This game has probably the best art direction I've ever seen in a game. I'm constantly gawking at the environments.

From Software artists are ridiculously talented. This game is on another level when it comes to presentation.

worst thing is, that you can't rest at the lamp posts!!

so if I want to change my respawn point, I have to warp back to the hunters dream and then to the specific lamp.

same if you want to reset enemies for farming vials etc.

[HeelPower]

I got SO many new runes in forbiden woods, its ridiculous. quick question:

are visceral attacks the ones with the special animation, or the charge moves? surely not the charges moves, or this rune that gives you 200hp after a visceral attack is OP



just your perception

Insight lowers load times.

LOL ok

warping to the hunter's dream always was pretty fast.

I see..I guess that's all there is to it.

Something like that happened to me as well. I think it's because of those mosqito-women in the lower area, they sometimes fall to their death. Happens in other areas with bottomless pits too, love that FROM trademark.

maybe you got invaded and he died!?

 

[dan2026]

Yeah the worst thing about the awful load times is being forced to return to the dream to do anything. You cant level up, buy, reset the level, anything.

What were they thinking?

 

[Tambini]

Holy shit I had one of the last bosses down to a sliver of health and he killed me ( AAAHH

Yeah.

And the consistency,density and beauty across the entire game(18 hours so far) is truly mindblowing.

This how you do Open world.

Thanks, I think you're right! Last time my character fell to his death, I remember there being one platform I missed on the way down but it was hard to see beforehand due to lighting. It looks like that is where I need to go next.

 

[Stratosphere]

Yoshi did you change from your Kirkhammer build? What did you settle on? I'm in same predicament with not likeing the hammer against fast bosses/hunters.

 

[cslesce]

I see youtube videos that axe is "better" weapon?

 

[tesqui]

SO there's no equivalent of the crow from DS1, 2, and Demons?

 

[daammyy]

Holy shit INSIGHT is what does that? Ohhhh man they weren't kidding when they said it's knowledge of the forbidden realities or whatever.... This game is so fucking cool.

Thats not all, you get to hear stuff aswell. Instead of the growling from some bosses you hear their voices talking etc. Super cool

The trick in Bloodborne is to have a close enemy kill you back towards the lamp post, then the world refreshes and you can pick up your souls quickly and without fear of death and you only suffer through the 1 death load.

 

[def sim]

Okie doke! Bosses Rom, last hunter in crow lady's quest, Paarl, and The One Reborn taken out. The second one might as well have been the final boss. They're not going to top that; I'm still feeling the effects he had on my resources.

I'll save the rest of the game for tomorrow.

That must have been it, and it must have been one that picked up my blood echoes from a previous death since I never went and got them and didn't die again since then. Worked out in the end then, haha.

I defeatedher

Spoiler

Queen

today, you just have to progress to the final pthumerian chalice.

I have obtained

Spoiler

the Defiled Chalice, but as I understand, I have to complete it, and then complete the next one as well (god knows how long it is). In addition I need the materials for Defiled (Bastard of Loran). It kinda feels too much.

Spoiler

they change quite a bit over time. I found a few new enemies. Did you do all the chalices? Some are the same, but there are side doors to open. I think that's because the location is the same for the first three dungeons. Did you fight the guy with the scythe? He has a twin scythe? He killed me and I could get his health to half in two giant swings. He's just fast and he hits hard

I honestly can't even remember. I have defeated what feels like

Spoiler

a dozen bosses in different level chalice dungeons (central, lower etc). I understand that enemies get tougher due to high amount of insight in the main game, but does that apply to chalice dungeons too?

 

[Flying Toaster]

Forbidden Woods boss fight is stupid and lame.

How does this town contain infinite werewolves.

 

[Wabba]

Can anybody help me beat Darkpearl? i have searched for 45 minutes now and i can't find anybody.

 

[Sinnermighty]

Is there NG++? I don't want to finish NG+ if there is, because I want to keep all these spots open for bloodgem & chunk farming.

 

[N° 2048]

Can you always go back to old areas (via Lanterns) or once you reach a certain point do things become locked?

 

[Omnistalgic]

Hey guys am I just imagining it or is there a section in the forbidden woods that went underground into a lake or something with tall giant enemies? I thought It was at forbidden woods but I can't seem to find it after leaving the area and going back to Hunter's Dreams? Where is this place?

 

[Flying Toaster]

Replace wolves with snakes... Thats my complaint.
