Red Jeweled Brooch

does the
pig in the sewers
respawn? I
havent given Viola the broach yet, but have already killed the pig earlier.
. am I still able to get the
blood soaked ribbon?
pig respawns. You only get the ribbon if you send her to the chapel. Not sure if you can still gey that if you give her the broach.
 
I keep seeing people say that
Amygdala
is an easy boss. How though? I found it pretty easy but that's because I mostly shot it to death. I didn't there get close to it after its first phase. It goes crazy.

I killed it with melee first try. It's hard to get the timing right to hit its head. But it's easy to avoid its attacks.
 
Based on my first playthrough and experience, boss difficulty from hardest to easiest:

This is mine.

Kicked my ass:
Rom, since I didn't kill any adds.
Father Gascoigne, had to use the environment to heal myself.

Easy:
Gehrman, the First Hunter
Shadow of Yharnam
The One Reborn
Amygdala
Darkbeast Paarl

Pushover:
Vicar Amelia
Cleric Beast
Martyr Logarius
Moon Presence
Blood-Starved Beast
Mergo's Wet Nurse
The Witch of Hemwick
Celestial Emmisary
Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos(probably harder, but I managed to roll into her tail and just lolattack.)

Didn't even hit me:
Micolash, Host of the Nightmare, story boss/joke of a boss/NPC standing still fight.

The hardest bosses are in the defiled Chalice since they can 1-3 shots.
Abhorrent Beast
, however, is the OG DS cheap level boss design.
Fuck, I died so many time during its 3rd phase.
 
I am really enjoying the game. Think I'm at about half way.

My biggest issue is From's insistence on a complete and utter shit implementation of multiplayer.

I have absolutely no way of knowing if it's broken or if I'm just too high level to pull people in.

I use passwords and I'm within ten levels of friends who want to co-op and it doesn't work at all.

It's 2015. This kind of thing is fucking idiotic. I'm fine with needing to ring bells and such. If I need to jump through your hoops, at least make it work. I don't understand how and why it's a complete shit show with every single game of theirs.
 
Did I just kill the guy in the wheelchair at the start in the house? My roommates cat jumped on me when I was listening to him and I hit r2 on accident....
 
I've taken my sweet ass time and I'm almost 40 hours into the game. Don't see the point of rushing through it, length wise I'd say it's similar to Demons Souls. Which is a good thing, DS1 last third was such a drag.

Did you rush through or something?

I'm at 21 hours and have beat 5 bosses....level 44. And I feel like I've been progressing quickly, only Cleric Beast and Amelia gave me much trouble.

Beating the game in 25-ish hours is hardly rushing through the game, people. I beat the game in 23-ish hours last night and I had to retread through some areas multiple times and even grinded for blood for a bit. It's a fairly short Souls game.
 
Okay someone please tell me what i got screwed on, i just defeated the blood thirsty beast, but his poison killed me before i could search his body?

what did the Beast have on his body, am i screwed?

since when i went back around his body disappeared

Happened to me too. Would love to know.

I feel ya. This isn't my first FromSoft dance either and I'm kind of taken aback that they still have networking issues in 2015.
 
question about true ending boss,

if I die to the second ''true'' boss do I have to fight the first boss again or can I even fight them again? It seems weird but I don't want to fuck up if I go for the true ending as my first ending.
 
Man, I wish there was a shortlist of irreversible mistakes to avoid. I don't want to screw up my playthrough with unnecessary mistakes...

Anyone have any tips?
 
this happened to me. did you make a new character? try deleting them or removing/putting stuff into their storage, and emptying as much as you can from yours, than putting something back in. fixed it for me.

Wait a sec. You can hold more than 20 bullets? How about blood vials? Do i need to expand my inventory somehow or is this a bug?

Also where is storage?

Nope, you get dropped back in Hunter's Dream like you do if you died on the first boss, except the second boss is after the fog door instead of the first.
 
What level should I stop levelling? I'm level 124 but I can still level my health and damage by a bit, just don't wanna never be able to play co op, don't know what the meta is I guess

Since you killed him, you got the reward already. Which is unlike other games where I think the loot remains until you pick it up

You got some chalice I believe, which I think lets you activate one of the tombstones that unlocks chalice dungeons

Storywise, just explore the Hunter's Dream and pay attention to the directions they give you.

Try deleting what? The character or the item? Because I can't delete the item - it's the bullets that's glitching out. And I can't see my bullets -anywhere- in the inventory, because it's glitched.

I read on reddit about deleting game file and downloading/installing it again...If this keeps up, if I keep discovering more and more bugs, I am going to retract my judgment of this game. From Software isn't Bethesda, so why does it act like it's a Bethesda game? Fix you fucking shit, idiots.

On top of this, my Internet, or PSN or whatever seems to be licking its own asshole right now because I can't log in to PSN to download the game. I guess I am not playing Bloodborne for the next two days.

Holy motherfucking abysmal shit.
 
Anyone? Should I buy stuff?

So any reason to hang on to tons of insight? Bosses are getting a bit out of hand 50+ and I can no longer one shot them on the first try :(

Should I buy stuff to lighten my load? It seems everything went from wanting to kill me with their bare hands to straight up wasting no time to try and murder me with the kitchen sink. I did notice enemies change patterns as I kept going up in insight. Most melee are now super fast, rarely any downtime when I strike them, they can cast spells, fireballs, arcane.

I watched a few boss vids on The One and damn he's only using barely a few of the attacks that he uses when I fight him.

Am I making this harder than it needs to be? Should I buy some stuff using insight?
 
What level should I stop levelling? I'm level 124 but I can still level my health and damage by a bit, just don't wanna never be able to play co op, don't know what the meta is I guess

Sadly, even at 96, I feel like I'm well above it. Just keep going to get your platinum. I get the odd feeling we both need new accounts for pvp.
 
Okay, anyone have any stat suggestions? I'm currently using Ludwig's Holy Blade and my stats are:

VIT 30
END 40
STR 25
SKL 25
BLD 7
ARC 6

Any suggestions on where to go next? I'm thinking I'd like to start using the Scythe when I can, should I keep pumping SKL?

Dump points into arc.

Guys did I fuck up? I just beat
wet nurse and got 1/3 umbilical cord
now the
hunter dream house is on fire
and guy is waiting for me at
tree
is this the end? Did I not kill enough optional bosses or something? I was pretty sure I killed everything I could find.

Also where is storage?

with a rune you can hold more, but you put excess ones in storage, its in the building in the hunters dream immediately to your right when you go in, before the weapon modification table. when you die your stock of vials/bullets are replenished from there automatically.
 
I feel ya. This isn't my first FromSoft dance either and I'm kind of taken aback that they still have networking issues in 2015.

Yeah...I need to take a break from Bloodborne for a bit. Besides the net code, everything else has been enjoyable.

The cluster fuck that the state of multiplayer is currently in is clearly by design. It was like this for Dark Souls and Dark Souls II. (I played Demon's Souls but I don't remember if it was a disaster.)

Just evolve already.

Is it a cultural, Japanese developer thing or is it just that From has it's head too far up it's own ass when it comes to multiplayer functionality?
 
Berserk manga spoilers and Bloodborne spoilers (do not read until you are well familiar with both!)
Just when I thought shit couldn't get any creepier/more disturbing, I go back to Cathedral Ward after beating Wet Nurse. The old woman is fucking dead near a bunch of graves, judging by her previous dialogue and the fact she spammed you with Sedatives means she probably over dosed on it. She was going crazy before that thinking world was going to end and took sedatives to calm her nerves. That's fucked up man...

Not nearly as fucked up as this other thing. Arianna (the prostitute) is also no where to be found. I go seaeching from her and she is at the entrance between Cathedral and Central Yarham right after the Father G fight. She has apparently given birth to... something. She was in agonizing pain last tine I saw her and now she is going crazy over what she has given birth to.

That shit looks exactly like whatever came out of Caska in Berserk after being raped by Femto. I killed that shit emphatically and got an umbilical core out of it. Reading the texts it seems like the Umbilical cords are of baby Great Ones (like Amygdala). In any case this shit is fucked up man!

This combined with the red moon makes it yet another reference to Berserk. There are a bunch of others in the game as well. I fucking love it!

Thats the end, go finish up stuff before you progress, youre at the point of no return.




Holy hell
abhorrent beast
 
Anyone else feel like M
icolash
was an interesting experiment for From Software? Not a difficult boss at all, but the set piece design of the fight itself was really amazing. It felt like a more scripted kind of fight, something you'd see out of a different kind of game, but it was a surprising change of pace.
Just following him throughout the giant labrynth castle in a multi staged fight was really neat I thought.
It felt more like a story building/atmosphere boss fight rather than something that would challenge you.
 
I counted how many times I died on each boss. Boss difficulty in terms of trouble they gave me on my first attempts:

1. Martyr Logarius (12 tries)
2. Vicar Amelia (10 tries)
3. Father Gascoigne (8 tries)
4. Darkbeast Paarl (4 tries)
5. Shadow of Yharnam (3 tries)
6. Rom (3 tries)
7. Amygdala (3 tries)
8. Moon Presence (3 tries)
9. Ebrietas (2 tries)
10. Gerhman (2 tries)

The rest were one-shot

11. Blood-Starved Beast
12. Cleric Beast
13. Wet Nurse
14. Witch
15. One Reborn
16. Micolash
17. Celestial Emissary
 
Spoilers for the secret area
Cainhurst and it's covenant
. Can I become a
Vileblood at first, then go to Alfred and give him the summons? Or will he become hostile towards me and have to pick which to do and do the other NG+

Arcane is only worth it if you put an elemental gem in your weapon in which case the weapon IGNORES your Str/Skl scaling. Ludwig gives you the option of doing either Arcane build or Str/Skl build... NOT BOTH!

Only one cord drop from a boss, the wet nurse. The others are: in a certain area, you can pick it up. For the two others you have to do specific things in order to get them. That's for the true ending, and yes if you kill Gerhman you'll be forced into NG+
