Anybody suffering from a lack of focus irl? I'm usually really good with handling games and college, but I'm like 3 weeks away from graduating and this game is all that's on my mind.

Yep haha, all I want to do is play more!

 

[LiK]

That seems like it might seriously impact replayability though.

NG+ seems to give you a shitload of Echoes so you can start lvling up the other stats. I guess it's only bad if you actually wanna lower the other stats.

Its needed to open the door where it required a password to get in.

I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

What's the point of respec? Just start a new character and build on that one.

It's an option for the lazy. I never used it.

the lady with the dual swords outside the cathedral? she owned me the first time then I trapped her into falling down the levels but the giant pig owned me when I got her down to a sliver she said "tell your master I said hi" I assume you need to fight her as I tried to make friends no dice....

Neither Eileen the Crow or the NPC are in the Tomb of Oedon after speaking with her. Does she disappear if you don't go help her immediately?

How do I get back to the Unseen Village? I warped out and didn't realize it didn't create a warp return point

You are supposed to create a lampwarp point as below.
If you didn't create one by finding and activating the lamp then I guess you get there the same way that you got there the last time.

Check the 3rd headstone, you should be able to warp back from there

 

[Flying Toaster]

I wouldn't mind being able to reallocate, say, 10 levels once per game cycle. But willy nilly respec like in Dark Souls 2 was part of its general insecurity about what kind of game they were making.

That is a great suggestion. I think a lot of people hate the souls series because they just don't get it.

Common complaints are:

The game is too hard.
Leveling respecs need to happen.
Bosses are too hard.

Seriously. The game is made the way it is, it is not for everyone. It is fun if you actually take the time and patience to change your style of play if it is not working into something that will work to get through the game.

 

[biteren]

so far the one thing that intrigues me the most are the Cthulus that hang off the walls, what the hell are those?!?!? i gotta play more to maybe find out!!!

50 hours in, those stupid crows got me again with a jump scare.


Also anyone have any tips for (sidequest spoiler)

Haha the crows scare me everytime. Those damn headphones. The game is truly terrifying in a way none of the other entry's were.

It should be the 3rd headstone in the Hunters dream.

Thanks. I saw an enemy up there and was going crazy looking for a ladder or some stairs.

I will try that, thanks!

[Primethius]

Well, that's a backwards way to respec, but like I said a "true" mechanic only existed in Dark Souls II

And I'm glad it's gone

Same, in a series which was always about being punishing in regards to your choices (and DS2 followed this trend, for example, killing the lady that lets you level up), respec always seemed to me a feature that was put in because they caved to pressure.

Take out the pyromancer first. Just kite the other two back, dash up to the pyro, hit him a couple times, and then wait for the other two to catch back up to you. Rinse and repeat until he's dead. The melee-only guy can be shot and parried extremely easily. The third guy doesn't really do much on his own.

Warped out with the lamp? It should be available at the Unseen headstone.

I have been dual blading everything but I went back to the cane for this one. It works wonders.

I used it on my first playthrough, but I'm keeping it just in case something happens on this second one. It gives you a blood gem I believe.

Yes,

I did that yesterday. I dont want to waste my time on copy paste bosses anymore. And my game didn't get bugged anyway.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Me too
Its like training wheels

They just made it easy to reroll if you so desired. In the previous games people just figured out glitches to level new characters up fast, so all FROM did was give you a way to do it legit. But yea, training wheels.

That's only if you haven't met her in Central Yarnham.

Go to the tomb of Odeon (preferably descending from the cathedral ward rather than from central yarnham) and you shuold find her there fighting another hunter

 

[NormandyVII]

I've seen videos of bloodborne players with their weapons either with electricity or fire. How exactly do I get a weapon buffed with fire or electricity?

 

[SomTervo]

Well, that's a backwards way to respec, but like I said a "true" mechanic only existed in Dark Souls II

And I'm glad it's gone

Absolutely

And yes I'm glad it's gone, too.

I think a significant part of the Souls' series attraction is that each character is a solid, continuous character who you build up over time. Being able to respec/customise to a large extent would ruin the idea.

The game makes it incredibly easy to start new character and it's replayable enough anyway due to the moment-to-moment gameplay and strategic options.

That location is a second chance if you missed her in central yharnam
I missed both and now i cant even find her to kill her

 

[Veritigo_X]

Basically whenever you die you drop a bloodstain like in the other games, but if an enemy walks over it it'll absorb your echoes and its eyes will start glowing purple. Many enemies in this game have long patrol paths so that's why you'll sometimes find glowers in different areas.

Yeah I get that. It's just there are some unexplained echo piles that I'm picking up. Like I'll start an area fresh with 0 deaths and there will be an echo pile sitting there.

DO NOT SUMMON IN FORBIDDEN WOODS UNTIL HOTFIX IS OUT. any MP there can potentially cause a key item to not appear so you can't progress the game.

Anything I can do to make me more resistant to BSB's poison? Got it down to half health on my first go, was feeling pretty confident, then the second form came...

 

[super-famicom]

Consumable items (Fire paper and Bolt paper). You can find them in the world, and can eventually purchase them at the merchants.

 

[Sanke__]

Hmm, isn't summoning broke in The Woods?

Worked for me

I summoned right outside the gate to the boss
Got someone immediately

Edit:

DO NOT SUMMON IN FORBIDDEN WOODS UNTIL HOTFIX IS OUT. any MP there can potentially cause a key item to not appear so you can't progress the game.

What item?

 

[CBTech]

Is there a way to know which attacks can be parried? Parry in its so important but I've never really learned it since it sends only certain attacks can be parried and I don't want to just tank damage figuring that out. Let's focus on smaller enemies such as Hunters. For larger enemies I figure there are less parry opportunities.

 

[Hupsel]

Game is amazing so far, I'd say im enjoying it more than Dark Souls (one of my fav games ever). Areas look cool and bosses are mostly fun to fight. Also I love my kirkhammer <3.
