A couple questions for things to do in the Cathedral Ward after beating the boss. Asked earlier but this thread is moving too fast.

Spoiler

Should I go ahead and use Amelia's Pendent or save it for another something else later on?

The raven coated hunter from the sewers, (Eileen?), is now at the cathedral and is telling me not to go to the tomb under Oedon. I should go there, right?

Discovered this video and feel like it would be perfect in .gif form to show people the essence of Bloodborne. (no spoilers)

[Furio53]

Made it to the cathedral area. I got the lever and stuff that opens up the tomb stair place, went down but then it started to get too dark and i got scared so I ran back Wanted to use my souls.

 

[ButchCat]

You navigated over to the rune slot and hit R2 (I believe?) to toggle to your stored items?

It scared the shit out of me. Thanks man.

 

[Rhaknar]

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

You don't use sets in souls games for the stats

Sometimes things just come into alignment and the hunt is good.

No damage Darkbeast Paarl run sub 1:30. Jumped with joy when I discovered I didn't get hit.

I know just trying to justify wearing it.

 

[Aikidoka]

God damnit, why did I have to beat the game. There was still so much I needed to figure out.

Not sure if I want to start a new character or continue NG+.

 

[killertofu]

General idea on where to go after Amelia?

 

[HardRojo]

How do you go past the 20 limit on vials and bullets?

 

[GavinGT]

General idea on where to go after Amelia?

Down the stairs from the boss room, take the first left.

How do you go past the 20 limit on vials and bullets?

Caryll runes.

 

[Frag Waffles]

Just beat

Spoiler

ROM

What's up with the sudden nosedive in boss quality there? All the others I genuinely enjoyed fighting even if I was losing. Learning attack patterns and "gitting gud." But this was just a POS. Basically:

Spoiler

1) rush in and attack
2) hope no spiders land on you and if they do...
3) roll away from the group
4) spam blood vials for when the inevitable barrage of blue things take 90% of your health
5) pray and repeat

Please tell me this is the worst boss. Not fun at all.

 

[grimmiq]

Can someone remind me where A

lbert went?

Found him with my first character

Spoiler

and gave him the summons so he could kill the Queen

but forgot where.

Runes.

I summoned a coop player to help me with some

Spoiler

hunters in cathedral I was having issues with....

As soon as I did, a friendly player showed up but I also had a message that said a bell maiden had spawned somewhere.... shit... So now I'm susceptible to an invasion? I'm terrified of that... Lol!

Is she always there until I kill her? Even if I close the game or go back to hunters dream? How can I find her? The area map is huge it could take me forever to find her

Caryll runes.

There's a locked door with

an invisible hand that kills me... Looks like a transparent iphone

 

[SeanTSC]

How do you go past the 20 limit on vials and bullets?

There are 4 Runes for each that give you +1/2/3/4. So the most +Vials or +Bullets you could have at one time would be 9 using the 2/3/4 runes. Or split to +4 Bullets / + 7 Vials or visa versa.

There are far worse in the Chalice dungeons, especially if you happen to get

Spoiler

Rom

in a teeny tiny room. You can't avoid his later attacks very effectively at all.

A lot of the later ones devolve into:
1. Rush in
2. Hit once or twice
3. Roll a couple times away
4. Wait for opening
5. Repeat

It's not super hard, but it's not very fun either.

Have you done defiling ones?

 

[Iorv3th]

Once you buy the small resonant bell do you get to keep it forever or is it 1 use and it's gone?

He'll be in

Castle Cainhurst at the throne room where the Queen is. After meeting him there he'll be by the Tomb with the entrance down to Old Yharnem where you met him for the very first time.

 

[killertofu]

All is explained later.

I mean... Is it gonna kill me again if I try to open the door?

 

[fluffydelusions]

I am going to DEMOLISH that game!

edit: wait, when is it out now again?

April 7th here (US) afaik

Oh, thanks. Well I still have to beat BSB so I have no idea what you guys are talking about

 

[Crossing Eden]

Where in the world do I find more chalices? Already beat the first chalice dungeon.

 

[GavinGT]

There's a locked door with

Maybe it's the first right then? Either way, you're heading to

Spoiler

Hemwick Charnel Lane

[CMojicaAce]

LMAO! I got summoned to help someone with R

Spoiler

om

and I got one shot by a spell of the hunter in the building as soon as I spawned lol.

 

[SeanTSC]

Once you buy the small resonant bell do you get to keep it forever or is it 1 use and it's gone?

Infinite Use.

 

[Soulflarz]

I mean... Is it gonna kill me again if I try to open the door?

Eh, no, maybe, Yeah.

Doors plot related, ignore for now.

 

[Randam]

You need to ring the bell to summon npcs too?

 

[Iorv3th]

Infinite Use.

Thanks! I am going to use my madmens knowledge then to get the insight shop open and get one.

 

[Kyoufu]

Once you buy the small resonant bell do you get to keep it forever or is it 1 use and it's gone?

Item descriptions always state if it's finite or infinite. Resonant Bells are infinite.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Really!? Time to start leaving notes then. This game is full of surprises.
Also, where do I got after beating the

Spoiler

witches

?

You have several options,

You can go to:

The Forbidden Woods, fight the boss there and unlock shortcuts along the way
Cainhurst

Spoiler

Lecture Hall and Nightmare Frontier after getting the tonsil stone from any window NPC, the one that gave it to me was Gilbert, the NPC closest to the Central Yharnam lantern. To get there, go left when exiting the Grand Cathedral where the Vicar fight took place.

Actually, I don't even know what you've done thus far. lol.

 

[Conscience Falls]

So my first try at

Spoiler

Rom

almost resulted in a complete victory until I was suddenly and unceremoniously one-hitted. Now I can't kill the damn thing at all, not even a little bit. Tried ringing the Bell but I get nothing. If I go to offline will ringing send me an NPC?

 

[killertofu]

Maybe it's the first right then?

Eh, no, maybe, Yeah.

Doors plot related, ignore for now.

First right leads me to the

Spoiler

witches, who I killed already.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Hmmm, need a little help here.

I traveled to the top of

Spoiler

inner cathedral ward

and theres a door that is locked. What key do I need for this?

A hidden key most people miss. In the area after

.

 

[Prezhulio]

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.

I just cold booted the entire ps4 and didn't help with online mode :/. But good to know I probably shouldn't ring the bell unless I've restarted the app at least

 

[RoboPlato]

1. use

Excellent. Thanks.

No one likes that fight because its almost impossible to get a summon there IMO. My strategy was pretty easy:

Spoiler

Two hand your wep, ignore adds, run to his ass, R2 charge, run away, repeat, dodge meteors, win.

 

[Uthred]

Its nice that you can share dungeon codes so its possible to get later game weapons early enough so you can go with whatever build you fancy

? So I'm guessing I need to come back? I thought this was the progression.

 

[GavinGT]

Oh, then find the password door in the Cathedral Ward. You now have the password.

 

[electroflame]

Have you done defiling ones?

I started one, and it boils down to the same thing -- only that's the strategy for some normal enemies as well. Hit once or twice, roll away, wait for opening, etc. Not very fun. The Defiled dungeon mechanic is actually really, really poorly designed from a "fun user experience" point-of-view.

 

[Bishop89]

I gave the girl the

Did i screw up?
