uh

regarding the true ending

Spoiler

you can consume the umbilical chords at any point right?

I've been eating them as soon as I got them individually :/

hope I don't miss out

Yeah, you can use them at any time. Just hope you kept track of how many you've used and be sure to use all 3.

 

[Sawneeks]

Ah damn I'm screwed then. The network kept losing connection and ate all my insights. I was hoping password sessions didn't require insight.

All good man. Thank you for trying.

If you have Chalice dungeons open they are a quick-ish way to get some. I think it's every time you fight a boss for the first time you get 1 or 2.

 

[Elfstruck]

Welp, how do I get to unseen village from

Spoiler

lecture hall

lamp. I just got grabbed by a

big hand

 

[Soulflarz]

I thought you had to have them in your

inventory.

Consuming them just gives you insight according to the description but I don't know for sure whether you need to consume them or not.

Eat away.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Can anyone point me in the right direction in the

Spoiler

Forbidden Forest

. The area is so large and I just unlocked the

Spoiler

second elevator

, but I wanted to get an idea which direction I should be running in towards the boss.

 

[Grassy]

Ok, now I'm getting annoyed. Two wasted insights, 20 minutes of waiting around, and now the game kicks me out to the title screen whenever I try to summon. Anyone else having this issue?

I haven't been able to summon anyone at all yet. I've wasted a few Insights so now I'm just not going to bother. It's pretty ridiculous. I've set my region to Worldwide and entered the GAF password. Still no bites...

I'm also not able to see the ghosts of other players most of the time when I click on their tombstone. The tombstone just disappears into the ground.

Bah. I wish I hadn't killed VA now. Apparently I missed some stuff, which is now not doable since

Spoiler

the time of day has changed.

Edit: Actually, seems I can still do it. I had to leave the area and go back though weirdly enough.

 

[Beelzebufo]

You don't haha

 

[bodyofanamerican]

I've burned like 5 insight over the last couple days trying to do coop...not one connection.

Now, it won't even go to online mode. Sigh

Are you booting into the game from suspend mode? That screws up the online and boots you out to the main menu. Restart the application.

 

[fastmower]

Definitely not the hardest, lol.

Probably the easiest, maybe a little harder than Dark Souls 2 (solo).

That's like, you're opinion bro. They seem about equal but this one might seem a little harder to me.

 

[TEH-CJ]

Is the multiplayer broken? I ring the bell to co op or invade and it never finds anyone. Never had this problem in Dark souls...

and not cool From downgrading the blood in the latest patch. Fuck these consoles.

have you cold booted your PS4? there's a lengthy reddit thread on how suspend/resume and rest mode breaks multiplayer with this game.

eh? blood downgrade?

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Set's name? Looks bad ass as fuck!

I got the Bone Ash set and one other from the Chalice. The Bone Ash has really good physical res.

Looks like the Cainhurst set,

Spoiler

you have to join the Vileblood covenant to get it

 

[vilmer_]

Finally have a couple of days off of work and some time to really dig in.

Spoiler

Rom

wasn't too bad at all using an aggressive strat with a fire paper'd, two handed hunter axe.

This next area however is just absolutely ridiculous. I think I need to farm some echos a bit, level 45 might be a bit too low.

 

[Anung]

The lore of this game is just *Weeps* so good. Probably the best art design of any game I've ever played.

One of those games where it feels like it was made with my particular tastes in mind. Can't wait to sink my teeth into NG+

Have you been putting the PS4 into suspend mode? If you have Bloodborne's online stuff will totally bork out and you need to hard close the game and restart it or it will never work.

 

[Blobbers]

This was one of the most intense boss battles in any Souls games I've ever experienced. Only had a +6 saw spear too, because no chunks. The fight lasted for a good 15-20 minutes, and when

Spoiler

Amygdala

finally went down, I literally kneeled on the floor and said "thank you" to nobody in particular.

God damn, blood is still pumping. This game, how does Miyazaki do it.

 

[mickcenary]

So, Gaf. What exactly is the dealio with the Saw Cleaver and other like weapons seemingly doing more damage than your Kirkhammers and the like, when the stats don't exactly indicate as such?

Does it just come down to attack type, e.g. blunt/thrust? And if so, is this indicated anywhere in the weapon's stats/description, or are we merely to assume that if there are figures for blunt/thrust/etc, that the weapon's damage is split between these and a "pure" physical AR?

3 Souls games and I've never endeavoured to fully understand this.

Cheers!

 

[the_firewithin]

im diving into this for the first time. may god have mercy on my sole (and my controller for my rage quits)

 

[Sami+]

So this happened yesterday, lol.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QTbhFIzD4g

 

[GulAtiCa]

They patched shrine of amana? What changed?

They made the enemy spells have shorter range, less damage and spells don't fully track you as much, so easier to dodge/etc. So area no longer "I HATE THIS!.." and more of a "Who thought this level was a good idea"? Level still kinda sucks, but more manageable then what was at launch.. lol.

Worst part of that level, was cause they started spell spamming you from a far away distance, you couldn't hurt them if they were too far away cause of draw distance/etc. So if they were beyond that draw distance limit where they would not render, they could still shoot at you but you couldn't even see them..

Bacowned.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Can someone explain the ending for me?

Spoiler

Did my character turn into some slug thing? I didn't really get it.

You

Spoiler

become an infant Great One. IIRC Mensis and Margo's surrogate child for possession was stillborn. Presumably with the Moon Presence out of the way the two worlds can be merged into one now for that Cthulu nightmare goodness.

 

[Sawneeks]

Okay, I give up for now. Rom can go rot for all I care with its' BS.

Time to farm and explore.

 

[Rhaknar]

So you're sure it's not the guys that sing when you get up close to them? Because I wasn't getting hit with arrows as long as those guys didn't have line-of-sight with me (when I was right up next to them).

These guys

I guess it could be them in the castle lighting up their heads, but if you notice team castle lights up when it happens

Oops! I tried to help someone but because we're in enemy covenants I invaded him instead.

The coat is Tomb Prospector Garb and the rest is Cainhurst.

Is Ebrietas considered kin? I have a gem that does +18% against kin, but not sure if it will work

Can anyone point me in the right direction in the

Forbidden Forest

. The area is so large and I just unlocked the

second elevator

, but I wanted to get an idea which direction I should be running in towards the boss.

Spoiler

Head down down down. Anything else around there, items, big snakes etc are all optional. You should eventually come to some water with a giant pig. There are two ways you can go. One way has alien looking enemies which leads to a dead end but has a few items to pick up. The other way is the way you want to go. Going along that way you should encounter a second giant pig. After that, 2 options, left and right. Right unlocks a shortcut. Left leads straight to the boss.

It is possible to run the entire length to the boss without having to fight. Actually taking time to search the area and pick up items seems to make it all the more confusing, once you have it down its quite simple to remember

Huh. Between the dlc I never touched, the changes and the supposed new gfx stuff, I'm probably going to enjoy the new DS2 quite a bit. Going to feel weird going back to shield tho (but I will because I love shields in those games)

 

[PleaseBeGentle_]

Just encountered a big boar in

Spoiler

Forgotten Forest

Was waiting for him to come at me so I could dodge roll and dig in on him, only to have him explode into a blue dustcloud.

Seems he was standing on a bonfire and he just wanted to be bacon instead of a killer boar xD

Hey Yoshi are you getting DS2:Scholar or sticking with BB for a while?

I am going to DEMOLISH that game!

Parry -> Visceral Attack. Finish off if not dead. They're pretty easy to parry.

There's a window with an item near the grand cathedral but I can't seem to get in.
Can anyone offer some advice?

How's that set found in the Unseen Village? Decent specs?

Edit: for the post above me

me drop down to the very bottom of the Healing Church Workshop section, run through the streets and look for an elevator going up.
