The bookcase you moved for a shortcut unveils a ladder.

it is really hard to still care after u prep for a boss, use all ur items, then die. Isnt there a way to cheat and make a manual save by backing up the file or something? I think I might have to do that. I like the game, but the difficulty is too much for me.
A majority of the game is optional content, and even then completing all dungeons and bosses will take only about 25-30 hours or so. Took me 36 hours for completion, and Dark Souls 1 took me 72 hours on my first play. Seems to be more in like with Demon's which I completed in about 30 hours as well
It's a bit shorter
Had two weird things happen on latest playthrough.
1) Got the Tonsil Stone from NPC in Central Yarnham. Weird as hell, that. I got it at the window where Gascoine's daughter normally was. Weird!
2) Found a way to easily cheese the second hunter in Old Yarnham.

After you open up the gate shortcut near the ladder to the gattling gun hunter, you can bait the hunter near you, get on the ladder in the shortcut entrance and climb down just a little, and the hunter will fall to his death. Cool!

Not really. Seems almost as long as dark souls and def longer than demons soulsAbout half as long.

It's lengthier than Demon's Souls.

Dark didn't take me nearly 72 hours. Honestly, I am finding this one to be just about the same length as the previous games.

hmm getting to the point where I have to farm the same chalice dungeon for chalice mats.
But the last depth 3 dungeon I did, lower hintertomb, was pretty okay difficulty.

Hard to say,the mandatory completion stuff is the shortest easily. All optional stuff par chalice dungeons, slightly bigger than dark souls. With extra chalice dungeon bosses included as optional aswell, its easily the biggest

There is a glitch that allows you to duplicate your items, so you can have 99 blood vials, 99 bullets etc. ain't done it myself but it does exist.

I think you can do that on PS3 souls games but I dunno if it works on the PS4. Might as well try it out. Honestly though it might take longer than just taking a quick run around one of the starter areas to get the items again.
nice thats the one i was thinking of, not sure dude its been awhile since i been in that zone.
Forbidden Woods, near Vicar Amelia/Church area. Have to use that password you got from her.

Yea, that's cool. I'm 35 hours in and I'm at Cainhurst.
That's because the backstabbing mechanic is different, not because the stealth mechanic is different
You can still backstabbing in BB out of "stealth" too.

I think you gotta get 10,000 blood echoes and then buy
the emblem thing from the zombie babies, then you can open the a gate. To get to the gate you travel to the ward lantern. Take the left hand door, then turn right, up the steps, passed the giant up the stairs.

If you go to the small cathedral and go left, then straight until you see that giant slow enemy, make a left, follow that until you come to a door that you can now go through since you beat VA.
If someone just plays through the game and doesn't discover the optional dungeons/bosses it's very possible. Alot of people doing their first playthrough blind, they will end up missing alot of stuff. Thus you get the average you see.
I said it before and I'd say it again. Either pwople are playing the game with low Insight which makes it easy, or they are just that good now.

You gotta rush and do almost no exploring to get that time.
The average a week into release is clearly much, much lower than it will eventually gravitate towards, simply by selection bias.
I'm not saying it's anywhere near as long as Dark Souls (haven't beaten it yet to say anything), but good evidence this is not!

It can be if you waste too much time on the defense. Once you realise
she's weak and easy to stun the fight becomes pretty simple. For me she was just hiding in a corner trying to heal while I wailed on her

Got it, thanks. I forgot about this area!
So those
, when people say the mind blowing part is that they were there all along (like
) do you mean just lore wise, or if you had enough insight from the start you could actually see them?
Basically, if you go to ng+ with enough insight (let's say 99 to be sure) will all of them be visible from the start?
If so, From are geniuses.

What does that mean? Is hoarding Insight bad? I'm playing offline so I have almost no use for this stuff.

Just beat
finally and holy shit

everything is so cool, blood moon, giant cthulu spiders on every building
Obviously people that have already beaten it are better at the game, so the average time will inevitably go up over time. But I just know that it took me 23 hours, and I don't even consider myself a great Souls player. I beat the game on the second day and I wasn't even rushing to do so.
