I kinda cheesed him, I would always fight him next to the door, so when he hit me I could just run away and heal. Still died about 30 times though.

Ah ok, was occupied with surviving so i didn't get all the details
. He's still OP but i'm going to take him down legit in NG+. That's on my bucket list.Jesus this guy sounds terrifying.
Do you get more than one shot at killing him? I wouldn't mind trying to fight him fairly before I no doubt resort to cheeseing.
Seems a rather unchairtable interpretation, the other games were also rated highly. BB is different enough from the Souls games mechanically, and certainly in terms of setting, that one could easily like one and dislike the other.

I am having a terrible time figuring out Amelia. I may try to grind up a few levels for more dodgy bar.

Anyone know if upgrading your gun affects it ability to counter high level foes? Or does it just scale damage?

I was trying to invade other people when a bell ringing woman showed up in my world and someone invaded ME. It was in an area I hadn't beaten the boss yet (
Unseen Village

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Doesn't affect counter ability!
the right way to play it.
I've got one and I have no idea who your spoiler is.

Skill/Bloodtinge build coming along well. Rocking the Chikage/Reiterpallasch and Evelyn.
It kinda is, I agree.
Hmm, while BB certainly is fresh air to the souls formula, at its core it still is pretty much a souls game. I'd argue the souls core is pretty much intact in the form of combat and exploration. I find it hard to belive that you can have fun in BB but not in DS.
I get how your enjoyment of settings may differ between the games but I'd still say those are secondary to what makes you enjoy the experience of playing.
You can fight him as much as you want.

Thanks Yosh!
This is probably a dumb question. I've never played Dark souls or demon souls so i don't know if i'll enjoy the type of gameplay that is in bloodborn. I wonder if there is at least a compelling story in the game? Because if there is i can still buy it and finish it for the story if i happen to dislike the gameplay.
Just wondering, don't want to play fullprice for a game and get zero out of it.

I believe that animation
is applying a self buff, you can see the buff around his legs go away. I don't think it heals him. As for the mist I think he will keep throwing it at you until it hits.
This is how I fought him:
When he's slowly walking towards you you can charge up a thrust attack and safely hit him if you time it right. Once he's down to around half health he will start spamming mist at you but it's easy to avoid and leaves him open to attacks. Throw a mist back at him to avoid his heal, keep avoiding his mists, hit him into a corner and give him a full bar of stun lock every time your stamina recharges.
I fucking hate 'em.

Is it just me or did the pigs after the one in the sewers somehow change attack-patterns and become harder? Maybe it's because of high insight?

Just got the
forbidden woods
Had to stop playing for the night, going back today and going to slaughter everything in that area. Revenge will be mine
This game is slowly becoming a bit of an obsession for me. I'm sitting here at my desk working to a tight print deadline and all I'm doing is planning my next few mini-adventures into Bloodborne.
Tonight it's
What a varied game this is.
Tonight it's
beating the 5th boss and experimenting with charms afterwards. Exploring Hypogean Gaol a bit by intentionally being snatched by bag man (and searching for Tonitrus while I'm there) before heading off into the Forbidden Woods.

I believe you also miss out on the armor of the hunter you would kill there. Cant remember for sure though

There isn't a traditional story, like say, Uncharted. Things are very subtle and hinted at by NPC comments and item descriptions. It's slightly cryptic and you have to make a bit of an effort to piece things together, which I and others enjoy doing. Bloodborne seems to be heavily inspired by the Lovecraft mythos, as well as Berserk, if you have an interest in either of those.

At +8 in powered up mode mine has over 600 damage on the stat sheet, and my stats/gems aren't exactly amazing - 18 str, 12 skill, 33 arcane. The electified mode seems to scale oddly with physical attack gems, I need to do some more research but the proof is in the massive damage I'm doing. I've encountered only a couple enemies resistant to bolt damage and it's half-physical so it still at least does something to them.
The last boss I fought, I just ran up and mashed R1. It fell dead in seconds, I looked down and the damage number on its HP bar from that one combo was 4000-something. The one person who has managed to invade me had a sliver of health left from a few whacks.
The moveset is okay, it doesn't seem to stagger much and it has poop for range. You constantly need to keep it 'charged' or else it does crap damage, but there's combos to facilitate that (R1-L1). It also has pathetic durability and is risky to use as a 'main' weapon but the sheer power means I've been relying on it heavily. Personally I prefer the stake driver and ludwig's, but...well, Tonitrus R1 hits as hard as a (fire) Ludwig's R2.
If you have some molotov cocktails then you can seriously damage them without any risk to yourself. One throw should take off nearly half their health.
after seeing the first boss or finding an item called madman's knowledge.

You can skip them. There are stairs on the left leading to a house, and past the house is a gate leading to the lamp. If you do want to fight them, you can throw a pebble at one to pull it away, then fight it 1v1.
You need to
have encountered (even if you die to it) the first boss
Sounds familiar, I actually made a list of stuff i want to try/ check out tonight
Ha. I've got a memo on my phone all set up for that. This thread is basically planning my nights for me. As soon as anyone mentions anything cool that's near enough where I am in the game it gets jotted down.
Are you referring to
Upper Cathedral Ward
Fighting multiple wolves at a time in pitch dark or through walls was not my cup of tea. Not to mention losing close to a dozen Insights to those soul suckers. The place itself was terrifying by its own rights which was great but man did I feel underleveled walking in there.
Here's my <3 minute Father G fight in NG+... I like to move to the stairs after he transforms for the first time. The intro of this fight was a bit sloppy since I was trying to parry him after he transformed, but I was unable to. Is it possible once he transforms to 2h?
I think that if anyone's having trouble with him, moving to the stairs alleviates the issue of getting stuck on the environment (gravestones) and makes it easier to dodge him and get behind him. If you were more patient than me, you could avoid all damage. I was pretty agressive since I was using the mace with a fast attack (and I have fat vitality), to try to take advantage of life recovery after being hit.

There's almost no chance you'll get nothing out of it. If you like good, deep and challenging games (like your avatar suggests), you'll love this thing to pieces. It's obviously not a turn based RPG but there's as much rhyme and reason to its combat. Furthermore, while it's drenched in atmosphere, the story is there merely to be sort of gleaned from the background and mostly provides some flavor for what actually is front and center: a real videogame. (which is just as it should be).
they're just doing their jobs.
It will happen to you in the
Nightmares
If I want to complete that I make a beeline for the bell lady as soon as I spawn. Otherwise invaders will make your life hell.

Is level 60 too low for the last boss?
Nah. Just beat the last boss there, explored the extra areas, never killed the maiden, and didn't get invaded once. Maybe my level was too low.
They aren't a thing unless you either summon someone, get summoned by someone, go to the Nightmare Frontier, or ring a sinister bell. In all but the sisnister bell's case, you can stop invasion by killing a bell
Not true. I've been invaded without trying to summon anyone multiple times.
I don't think you can get invaded after you've completed that level's boss, but I'm not 100% certain on that.
