not working on my end. worked fine 2 days ago but not working since.



anyone ?

Old Yarnham, and there's more stuff in the cathedral area you seem to have missed

I do that but sometimes they climb all over each other or glitch through the wall and get some hits in. It's just so annoying. What's a good weapon with crazy charge attack range? I can try that.

I use the electric mace with L1 power up. Scales with arcane stat to boot. One-shots the blue-eyed wolves.

So how does

Spoiler

Rom

coop work? Summoned people a couple of times (after burning through about 8 insight as the beckoning bell seems to only work when it feels like it) but they couldn't seem to get through the fog gate. Then one time after I summoned someone, when I was fighting the boss, after getting to the second phase of the fight my guy suddenly dropped from the sky and was in the fight.

 

[Mugaaz]

Does anyone else have a problem with the amount of damage they are doing vs bosses or am I just super underleveled. Example I'm fighting Amelia at around level 25 with a threaded cane at level 3 and 17 skill, 10 strength, and the lifebar barely moves. The way I beat BSB involved stunning him twice, then using Fire paper to do large amounts of damage. I don't want to have to use Fire paper at every boss though, should I just reroll and go full strength build with a different weapon?

I normally liked in the old games being rewarded later for taking the crappy stats early so later in the game I could get a bad ass weapon, but the threaded cane doesn't really seem that great atm.

Threaded cane improves a lot and its speed is quite an asset later, particularly against some bosses and a lot of regular enemy types. There is no reason to reroll, none of the weapons have huge stat requirements, and almost everything scales pretty evenly with either str or dex. There is just not that much gained by perfectly allocating points towards something. You get like 2% more damage, woopdeedoo.

They cannot enter the encounter until you actually see the bosses lifebar.

I miss that swing and the cloth reacts to the "shockwave"! Gotta love the cloth physics in this game.

Not too tough if you dodge liberally. He's slow as fuck and you can pretty much ignore the adds.

They can't cross the fog until you drop down, they were yelling at you on the other side of it.

He's actually really easy once you figure out the trick. What have you tried?

Man, this part in

Old Yharmam where you gotta fight through the machine gun fire...

so hard.

Spoiler

When he told you to turn back, you really had that choice. you could have avoided aggroing him by taking another route to old yharnam later in the game.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Does anyone have a list of optional bosses off hand? I'm wondering if I'm missing anything before I try to get through to the end.

Spoiler

Cleric Beast
Darkbeast Paarl
Blood-Starved Beast
Martyr Logarius
Witch of Hemwick
Amygdala
Celestial Emissary
Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos
+Chalice Dungeon bosses (there's like more than 10 bosses exclusive to this part of the game)

Think that's all of them.

So close then bam rape.

 

[Afrodium]

I'm increasingly learning that a lot of the difficulty of these games is just due to the obtuse nature of leveling and weapon scaling. I thought Dark Souls 2 was just easier, but now I'm thinking that it was just the first time that I realized you only need to level VIT, END, and the skill that governs your main weapon. Then you upgrade that weapon as much as you can and you're good to go. I'm following the same formula with Bloodborne and getting very similar results. This may sound like pretty standard RPG fare, and it is, but once you wrap your head around it in these games they become much simpler.

 

[MattyG]

Sooooooo (LATE GAME SPOILERS)

that secomd phase of the Logarius fight... I think I'll come back to this later.

I haven't tried it for myself, did a quick coop run just to see it. The host died but I think if you're patient and carefully dodge the little ones it's an easy fight.

But still the whole concept of the fight, geez. FROM you magnificent bastards.

 

[Stampy]

I defeated the Cleric Beast. Don't see the point of doign so as it is a dead end. I mean, I know there is lots of stuff which I have to explore, but it seem to me like I didn't even need to fight this boss.

 

[plasticpassion]

Are there times when you die and cannot recover your souls? I know they're typically with the enemy who killed you (or a surrounding one) or on the ground, but I just lost 20k souls and they're nowhere in sight. -.-

Anybody?

A lot later im the game, uoull know itll make sense

I am getting sick of this Forbidden Woods boss fight.

So close then bam rape.

Here's what I did.

Spoiler

I didn't use any vials for the sake of scouting the boss since you can run to them in about 2 minutes from the spawn point. One by one, I tried to see which of those assholes would pose the greatest threat to me after the 2 are killed. By process of elimination I found the biggest problem to me was the katana guy, so I killed him first. Next was the mage because of how retarded his spells become after they transformed. Leaving the flame thrower guy for last being as he moves slow and doesn't have cheap attacks.

 

[RealityPales]

Does anyone have a list of optional bosses off hand? I'm wondering if I'm missing anything before I try to get through to the end.

If I'm not mistaken, the majority of the bosses in the game are actually optional. This MIGHT include the following as skippable:

Spoiler

Cleric Beast, Blood-starved Beast, Witch of Hemwick, Darkbeast Paarl, Martyr Logarius, and then there are the 3 great ones - all of which might be optional too? That includes Amygdala, Celestial Emissary and Ebrietas Daughter of the Cosmos. Not sure if that giant brain thing counted as a boss - the one atop the nightmare castle bridge.

I never found the nun in time, so the whore lived to give birth. But I've heard reports of the nun killing the whore when you take a vial of whore blood instead of a vial of nun blood.

That's weird because

I found both and took the whore's blood multiple times and the nun never killed her.

Had to summon help for Cleric beast but wanted to take down blood starved beast by myself. After so many tries I did it and it felt so damn good. I really love this game.
