No we both have the small resonant bell. It just doesn't seem to work. We tried it with him summoning the me Still nothing.
Kirkhammer's R2 while running got me through that fight.
I can't tell you how lost I got in that area, and how many souls I lost to the common enemies only to beat the boss on my first try.

Should be fine then, wanna set up a password or just use the GAF one?
The
have made me hate those damn dogs more than any enemy possibly ever in a Souls game. They are so damn fast and aggressive and appear out of nowhere. Sure, they go down in just a couple hits, but that doesn't help if two come out of nowhere and take you down before you can react. The fact that
is also super evil.
woods
pulling a leaver to open a shortcut also unleashes three more on subsequent runs
dude has a one hit KO spin attack that has like a 1 second charge and spans a third of the arena that he can pulloff randomly
it's bullshit during an endurance fight like this

password is damo
Parry, parry and parry some more. Once you get the hang of that, he's a chump.
Rly?! That's awesome. So it's not on the regular travel thing.

I hate the Forbidden Forest. These snakes are asses.
found it by going through poison area under the woods. there's a ladder that leads up to it.
Seems like GAF is starting to get more critical of the game. I hope it doesn't get out of hand. Bloodborne is certainly a great game but I've had a few issues with it that may seem really minor that hold it back from being on the same level as DeS and Dark Souls 1.
My issues (spoilers?):
- There's a lack of interesting NPCs. Why are so many behind doors? The ones that aren't don't seem as interesting as the ones in the other three games. I hope that changes in the second half. Also, I love NPC merchants. Buying/selling from an NPC gives you this weird bond with them that makes you care for the character more than you would have otherwise. The Bath Merchants are just so bland in comparison.
- Lack of environmental diversity and some wasted opportunities with Yharnam. I'd have liked to see more of the city instead of just the abstract city streets. Why not visit a hospital, a market, some homes, etc. I think there was a decision made in the development where they realized that it's just too costly and time consuming to make the large variety of environments seen in the other games in the series at the quality level they wanted. That said, each individual environment in Bloodborne really does look fantastic. If there's a sequel, maybe a bigger team could be put in place to fix this (assuming it doesn't become a Dark Souls 2 mish-mash.
- You seem to randomly pick up important items in boring places. It makes things a little less memorable. Also, lots of places/secrets that you think will reward you with a great piece of equipment or weapon end up just being forging material or some random item you can buy from the bath merchant.
- The pacing is a bit odd. You stay in Yharnam too long in the beginning. It would have been nice if they could have you go on 1 or 2 mini treks through something else before you get to the Frontier areas.
- The outfits in the game are great but I want more of them and more diversity.
That's mostly it. My issues aside, the game is still fantastic and a far more enjoyable experience than Dark Souls 2.

Credits rolling. Aww yiss.
I've died to that more than once by getting combo hit and stuck in some scenery.
I agree that it's overdone to an extent, as much as I like the look of the game.

The shaded woods, stay left before going into the village(not by falling), from there you'll see a house where you can talk to someone through a window, behind the house there's a cave, in that cave there's a another cave with a ladder. Go up the ladder, you're there. From there you can open the gate and find the back door to the clinic.
I was level 47 when I beat him so I dunno if that'll make a difference for you.
Move in close to him between swipes (take advantage of invincibility frames), try to stay under him while trying to focus on his legs which can make him fall down for a bit, giving you a chance to wail on him while he's down. You can also try to shoot him in the head with your firearm which can also bring him down if you time it right (I used Bone Marrow Ash during the last time I fought him). I also managed to get in a visceral attack on his head so that helped out too.
If he loses his electricity he'll run away to try to charge up again. Keep on him as he tries to get away and don't let him charge up.

Final time: 23:38:51
And that's with me fumbling about for a few hours. I can't imagine how fast it would be if I knew where I was going.

Yeah, I kind of want to hear if people are having this issue. I have no issue letting myself get summoned into someone else's game, but if I try to summon for help it doesn't work for me. Tried online with some people yesterday and today with passwords and nothing worked. Am I missing something or is the online messed up? Setting it to worldwide, btw
You're in the general vicinity.
If you see a swampy lake you're almost there, though there's still plenty of room to get lost there.
So I'm apparently at a point where I need to
purchase a key from the Insight fountain, but I'm not seeing it available to purchase. I have the item from Cleric Beast or whatever that's required but I don't see it available for purchase. Is it just because I don't have enough Insight? I have 12 right now.

Go to the forest lamp, cross the bridge, run along the left side of the level until you get to a house with a red lantern and a bunch of dog cages, go around the side of the house and you see a very well hidden cave, go in and run to along the left side (to avoid poison) until you see the exit on the other side (not the one immediately in front of you). From there it's pretty straight forward.
This game has a ton of optional areas. But yeah, the main line of the game is fairly short.

I love FROM games. LOVE THEM!
But I am glad you took the time to point these things out. It is good to see constructive criticism.

Sidestep under him and go for the legs. When he starts charging his bolt thing, remove your lock-on so that you can roll through the explosion. Technically possible with the sidestep but I found it much harder. It took me a few tries, but in the end staying under him was what won it for me.
Just once against BSB. I dodged and got stuck in a pillar then died shortly after.

So WTF, do your blood stains go away if you quit the game before getting them back? I made sure I know where I died while fighting the second boss and my blood stains aren't there. I was worried too because the same thing happened on the first boss. I never found my blood stain there. Or can bosses take your blood echos too? If so, that's incredibly stupid. It's one thing if just a regular enemy can get them but a boss? :/

You should get a notification it is looking. There is also an icon of a bell near your health bar of it is activelt seeking. No Insight is consumed, so try again.
err... boss spoiler
...what?
what am I missing?
Rom
how exactly are we supposed to get past the million spiders to hit him. I mean I got him to about half, at which point there are so many spiders I cant find a opening to get in there, not to mention the ice (but that I avoided most of it)
