Up until him I'm pretty sure I only died a total of four times (once being the required death at the start, twice while still getting a feel for the game, and once against C

Both times I faced

Gascoigne so far, I got him down to his beast form... and he owned me. I'm taking a break until later though, because I did make a lot of good progress! Absolutely loving the game so far

While I am in love with this game, some design choices still bug me. The combat and everything is really nice and I like that each weapon has like 4 times the move sets of Dark Souls but I really wish there were more weapons. Same goes for armor, even though it's not as big a deal in the game and that's fine but I miss the fashion side of things.

One of the coolest things about Dark Souls (1) was coming up against a fierce boss and then being able to BECOME that boss later. You could find their weapons and armor or craft them and it added a cool element to the game, it allowed you to be more unique and different.

Again I still adore the game and can't get enough of it, I just feel that the lack of visual variety in weapons and armor makes everyone's playthroughs of the game look the same and there's a lot less fashion uniqueness to it. Doesn't change how it plays really just something I miss.

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?

Spoiler

It is. It's close to the place with caged hounds.

Courtesy question: Is it rude to open up a shortcut if you're summoned into someone else's game?

Phew, finally out of the

Forbidden Woods

. I never want to go back there again.

Thank God for the easy boss at the end of it.

2 questions: is

Hemwick crossing in Hemwick Chernel Lane?

And is there any significance (collectible/item/gameplay wise) to when I

hear a baby crying?

Or is that just setting the scene and for story purposes?

 

[Rurunaki]

There are Blood Rocks in the Chalice Dungeon if Reddit is to be believed.

 

[LiK]

Forbidden Woods boss fight is stupid and lame.

I'm glad we agree

 

[def sim]

I never know if I should be spoiler tagging these boss names or not.

Yeah, that's in forbidden woods. It's a litte after the lantern, towards the left IIRC. I distinctly remember that shortcut having some of the worst framerate you can find in this game.

 

[Jacksinthe]

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

Every time I say its name I say it like Rick Grimes.

These three hunters in Y

Any suggestions? I can't seem to summon any help to even the odds. A 3 v 1 fight with them

Spoiler

shooting lighting and fire

is just unfair.

I just played super defensively, dodged a lot and only attacked here and there. I don't know if there's really a way to make the fight against them easier. It took forever to kill all three this way though. Probably the toughest fight in the game for me and they're not even a boss.

find the cave in the forbidden woods, it's near the dog cages.

 

[FiveMinuteHero]

I haven't bought Bloodborne, reason is that being a dad of 3 with one of the kids just 5 months old my gaming sessions are limited to uber short bursts (30 minutes or so). I am assuming that to actually get good at Bloodborne and do any decent progress I will need much more time than I can afford right now.

Please, prove me wrong

 

[Sinnermighty]

Annnnnd I just deleted Bloodborne instead of Closing Application ._.

Time to redownload 28GB

 

[Omnistalgic]

It is. It's close to the place with caged hounds.

I knew it! Sheesh thought I was going crazy. I remember talking to a citizen in a house too telling me something on the side of the church, some hidden area. Is this place towards the entrance of the forest?

I used a pebble to lure them out. Two came at once, so I ran back to the lantern and only one seemed to want to follow me all the way. It was tough, even 1v1, but I killed one and since they don't respawn I picked off the rest.

Took a looong time though.

 

[Namikaze1]

Finally opened that gate next to Isofka's Clinic. Fuck that place I had to go through to do so!

Dammit I fucked up so bad. Wished I knew not to send the

Spoiler

beggar on windmill roof

to Oedon chapel.

follow up story ahead

Spoiler

Didn't think too much when he asked for a safe place so I led him towards Oedon Chapel. Lo and behold when I came back to the chapel, everyone is fuckin dead. The weird dude in the chapel is gone, big pool of blood in its place. The granny's body is outside. Probably got scared, managed to run but didn't get far. All dead except the whore. Hmm.

So I go outside and there's that fucker all smiling and shit acting like nothing happened. Hit him a couple of times, nearly crapped my pants when he transformed into a beast.
I love this fuckin game but it's too dark sometimes.

 

[cpp_is_king]

Does anyone know what the level range for being summoned as a helper is?

 

[Yoshichan]

HOW

NG++ <,<

 

[KennyLinder]

Anyone having trouble with co-op? Still not managed to play a single game yet. Trying to ring the Bell today at the boss door and it doesn't even ring, just gives a negative noise.

 

[NamikazeBurst]

So I went down the tower through the elevator on the right exit of the cathedral. There was nothing in those alleys but items and another elevator back to the cathedral. Is my only option the 10k door? Everywhere else seems to need a key.

 

[Matt_]

So I just killed

Spoiler

father whatshisface

and went around the chapel for a bit, but now I have the option to send people to odeon chapel or the clinic
any difference in the two? are there many people to send? Ive only found that lady thats just after the dogs

edit; also how do you do coop? Ive summoned people but I dont know how to be summoned

 

[Akai XIII]

I've killed:

Where next? I found Paarl but couldn't summon and died... Is he a no summon boss?

 

[Serpico99]

What do you guys think... Should I keep my axe or go with Ludwig? Str build by the way.

 

[TheWriter]

Finally opened that gate next to Isofka's Clinic. Fuck that place I had to go through to do so!

That shortcut blew my mind. I hope someone will create a 3D map like they did with Dark Souls. Can't wait to see how it all intertwines and connects.

 

[ttocs]

Are the servers acting wonky for anyone else? Haven't been able to co-op for about an hour now when before it was fine.

 

[Sinnermighty]

NG++ <,<

So NG++ actually gives better items? NG+ didn't seem worthwhile to me.

Keep looking around that gate, there's something else you need to find.

No, I meant. I got one Blood Rock per playthrough!
