Spoiler

fireball and katakana

guy, and suddenly a

Spoiler

giant snake

appears. I almost had a heart attack lol

 

[T.O.P]

Half way through OT2 already. Damnnnn From.

Game deserves double the OTs Destiny got lol

 

[Shining Sunshine]

I'm using the Chikage, and it's doing pretty good, but I can't help but feel like the other strength based weapons would do more damage.

 

[Ceravic]

Spoiler

FUCKING SUCK MY DICK YOU SHADOW OF YHARNAM FUCKS! HOWS IT FEEL TO BE DEAD? DOESN'T FEEL SO GOOD DOES IT? YES THEY DESERVED TO DIE, AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!

 

[Kurtofan]

any hint to where I can go next? I beat

Spoiler

Amelia, the witch and the blood craved beast

.

 

[Virdix]

Its definitely not strength based

 

[newjeruse]

So is

Spoiler

Oedon's Chapel up the elevator in that Cathedral Ward building?

 

[Durden77]

Am I missing something, or is there no way to directly compare stats to an item you want to buy to an item you have equipped?

 

[Marcel]

I love the subtle progression in Forbidden Woods and how it gets more and more fucked up the deeper you travel into it.

First

Spoiler

snake possessed people, then little snake mobs, then HUGE FUCKING snake mobs and suddenly... weird creepy... alien? creatures?

Man. This game. It's always keeping me on my toes if I ever start to feel just a LITTLE bit confident haha.

Spoiler

Bloodborne's cosmic horror is subtle at first but just you wait, it gets better.

 

[Panda Rin]

One thing I've noticed is I'm dying far less from falling off the map than in previous games.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Its shit right now and needs to be implemented.

I feel you.

 

[Flying Toaster]

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.

Thank you so much, I will try this.

 

[Neiteio]

So what are "frenzied blood echoes?"

 

[Raw64life]

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

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

Makes sense, thanks. Time for more ringing and praying for something to happen.

 

[Fedora Royale]

It took me 2 attempts on both

Spoiler

Cleric Beast

and

Spoiler

Father G

. This is not a stealth brag post (especially since there are people who beat them first try), but merely a result of my patience and observation. Not to mention, I made sure to approach these fights with a cool-head the second time around.

Loving this game so far!

 

[Karsticles]

Are there no melee weapons that scale well with Bloodtinge and Arcane?

Am I missing something, or is there no way to directly compare stats to an item you want to buy to an item you have equipped?

Nope.

 

[Marcel]

Chikage primarily scales with skill and bloodtinge, not strength. If you're using Chikage with STR focus, you're doing it wrong.

 

[Readvacancy]

Spoiler

Witches of Hemwick

was the easiest boss fight yet. I used no blood vials.

 

[Elfstruck]

any hint to where I can go next? I beat

Spoiler

Amelia, the witch and the blood craved beast

.

Spoiler

Forbidden wood is your next destination. Take the stair down from Amelia boss room, enter the cemetary, through the small passage, and you will see a door that requires password.

 

[LiK]

Gee, the area after the woods is tiny. Thank gawd.

 

[Akai XIII]

The wheelchair NPC in the Dream tells you where to go after every boss so far.

And the path after BSB is right in plain view if you know what area to look in, which he tells you.

If he's there. No where to be found in my game for the last 10+ times I've been to to the HD. I've checked out back too, he's not there.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Spoiler

Bloodborne's cosmic horror is subtle at first but just you wait, it gets better.

Spoiler

Yeah. The game goes nuts end-game especially with the optional stuff. It's brilliant.

 

[fastmower]

Gather 40 insight...you'll see then tee hee.

This just fucked my mind!! What the hell is going on in yharnham?!?

 

[jaaz]

Wow, the blades of mercy is an amazing weapon. You go to get close though, that will take some getting used to.

 

[burgerdog]

What are the requirements for joining some chalice dungeons? I just got hit with I don't need the requirements for one that was shared here.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Are there no melee weapons that scale well with Bloodtinge and Arcane?


Nope.

Chikage.

And I think Ludwig scales quite well with Arcane?

 

[Alucrid]

need some direction help.

Spoiler

got to byrgenwerth after killing those three ring wraiths, got the key from the tower (couldn't beat the whip npc). didn't see any other place to go there. do i have to go to the nightmare frontier now?

 

[Marcel]

Spoiler

Yeah. The game goes nuts end-game especially with the optional stuff. It's brilliant.

Spoiler

Am I reading too deeply to think that the Great Ones and Old One are connected?

 

[Rurunaki]

Spoiler

Eileen's Rune

will make sure you have enough stamina for getting in and out.

 

[Karsticles]

Chikage.

And I think Ludwig scales quite well with Arcane?

Both, not either/or.

 

[Afrodium]

Asking on a new page because this thread moves so fast:

Is there any reason to keep boss drops that can be make into gems, such as Amelia's locket? Do they have any other uses?

 

[MattyG]

Assume these are final boss spoilers, because I don't know what the fuck just happened.

Spoiler

I was having trouble with the Unseen Village, so I just sprinted through. Ended up running into "The One Reborn". Is that the final boss? He seemed pretty easy, I got him to about 1/2 health before he 1 shotted me.

 

[Rhaknar]

This just fucked my mind!! What the hell is going on in yharnham?!?

what happens?

 

[Sifl]

Final boss spoilers

Spoiler

I'm having so much trouble with Gehrman even though I feel like I shouldn't be. I'm constantly parrying him and getting hit at the same time which keeps fucking me up because I'm wasting vials I shouldn't be. Anyone have advice?

 

[addyb]

Can anyone enlighten me on chalice dungeons.

Spoiler

I've got what I now need from blood starved beast to create/enter a dungeon. Now is this randomised every time I access it? In regards to accessing others is that basically a case of completing my first one and getting items from it to access another?

Just a bit confused by the whole setup.

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

Is there a good website or list to check sidequests, impotant items I may have missed (like the Music Box, people, etc)? Sometimes I feel like I miss things, because I go on just fighting enemies for a long while (I just defeated the Blood Starved Beast).

 

[Phat Michael]

Its shit right now and needs to be implemented.

That is such archaic game design and is absolutely ridiculous.

How could that have not been implemented in a game?

Let me guess: to create mystery so you have to ask the community what is a good set of armor and explore for yourself?

[Kevin Shields]

Just picked up game and played for 2 hours. Amazing atmosphere so far and great combat. Went with the axe and I haven't died yet. I think I'm

Spoiler

at the bridge where the first boss is, but not completely sure

. Proud of myself so far but don't want to get too cocky. Loving the level design so far although I'm getting so freaking lost. I wish there was a map...

P.S. I love the transforming weapons. My starting axe is like a battle axe, partizan and Halberd all put together. I was bummed about hearing lack of weapons but if I can get like 8-10 of these transforming weapons, I'll be satisfied.

 

[Facism]

Summoning needs to cost insight when it suceeds. Sitting here waiting for help. Terrible system. Names on the floor was far superior to this as at least you knew there were peoole to coop with

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Chikage primarily scales with skill and bloodtinge, not strength. If you're using Chikage with STR focus, you're doing it wrong.

uh I know, I have 50 skill

I'm just saying str based 2h weapons seem to do far more damage and people seem to have more successes with it.

 

[MattyG]

nope.

Ah, ok. Seemed like final boss material.

I have no idea what to do now. I can't kill any of the enemies past the Yhargul Chapel lamp, and I feel like I've explored almost every area. I've hit a wall.

Make sure your insight isn't too high. It makes the game more difficult I've heard.

I've defeated BSB but I haven't got the option to open/create a CD... Wut.

Heads up, I also got a hintertomb chalice from this in a coffin.

Thanks, I grabbed it

Not even close, you are a little over halfway done.

Can't seem to ever find anyone for coop sat at bsb for like 5 minutes

 

[Marcel]

uh I know, I have 50 skill

I'm just saying str based 2h weapons seem to do far more damage and people seem to have more successes with it.

I find that Chikage with the L1 power-up is pretty deadly when I invade. Of course, you have to manage your health more.

Nope.

Fuck, that really sucks.
