For a while, the

sack men

were the real enemies of Bloodborne for me.

So I'm heading off to fight the final boss and get the true ending. Any tips for

Spoiler

both of them

?

Also, the Chalice stuff seems kind of neat. Straight up plain dungeon crawling, although the loot has been disappointing and it seems like it might suck trying to find all of the different blood level stuff. Seems like it has potential though. Can't wait till I hit some of those tier 4 chalices.

So um, what did I get myself into? Went back into that town and found an elevator. Stumbled upon

Vicar Amelia and died. Respawned and as soon as I exited the ward a sack dude was in a corner waiting for me. Do they come after me now? ;-; I am super scared.

So at which point should I do a chalice dungeon? I'm level 40 something.

With a 50gb install , why does this game even need the disc?

I did NF before finishing FW! No consequences as far as I can see. And you can access B as soon as you find the cave shortcut in FW. Sorry, on my phone now so just using initials.

To the right of VA's entrance, past some hunters.

[Yurikerr]

Man, that's rough. You should make a vid, post it to youtube and tweet at the someone.

I made a video, will upload and try to contact someone to warn about this bug.

While not ideal you could try to rush to the next lamp.

Spoiler

Just gun it until you open the door, inside go up the right stairs and into the middle raised form to skip the spiders, run past the hunter in the next area and you'll see weird midget things walking around you can avoid. To the right is an elevator that goes to another lantern.

Certainly not ideal though, that sucks.

There is something you can try first.

Spoiler

Run along the cliffside to the right. You'll pass a total of 4 enemies, one a furry thing of claws, fur and bad attitude, armed with a torch and 3 ogre-ish creatures. There is another lamp there. Maybe that one works.

Thanks guys, will try this... I'm not in the mood to start things from scratch right now... =/

Kin are human like and beasts are beasts. Was my understanding at least.

See but what is considered a beast, stuff like the wolves are obvious, but what about the guys in the forbidden forest that sprout snake heads? Or what about the guys with the cleavers, wtf are those lol?

Thanks DNA

might be my favorite area of enemy designs. They are like...the true eldritch horrors of this game. Just ran through scared outta my shit from those...floppy tentacle starfish corpse-mouth poison guys the whole time.

Then who turns out to be the boss?

Spoiler

Amygdala

I lost my shit because holy shit is that the scariest design in this game, especially when it's responsible for you being brought to the

Spoiler

Nightmare Frontier.

As far as bosses go, it wasn't the hardest I've fought by far but it was super enjoyable and still tense since it hit like a fucking brick factory.

Loved that whole section. It's like...surreal, crazy insanity. Best part?

Amygdala is fucking invisible until your Insight is high enough

No. Ugh. I don't want to know. Except I do.

Whoever are responsible for these designs, the group of them are all crazy in the best way. Easily some of the most impressive enemy design I've seen. (Also never played any of the prior Souls games).

You either need the Hunter's Emblem from CB's badge or BSB's chalice to unlock the path to the grand cathedral. Emblem for the front gate, or the chalice for the workshop tower (drop down the pit to the streets, come up and pull the lever to open the gate).

Yeah, I don't blame you. If you want I could make a video of the sprint path so you know what to expect, lol.
