There is a new mechanic where a patrolling mob can pick up your bloodstain. They will have glowing purple eyes if they have it. You have to kill that enemy to retrieve them. It is random, you do not know who will pick it up other than the glowing eyes

So do we know how summoning range works in this game? Is it the same formula as previous games, or a solid 10 levels?
10+10% of the summoner. Been helping a friend and staying one area ahead of him and can absolutely confirm it's not just 10 levels.

Yup, it's not really a hard fight just have to make sure no mistakes are made during his second phase. I'll try to save his back tumour for his enrage since the first half of the bar is just baiting and hitting and the full spins with the chains seem to have a longer counter attack window. Barring that, I'll just steal your tactic

Have you levelled up quite a lot? That can make a big difference. You're about where I am, but I just finished the witches. You may get to the forbidden woods before me so I'll enjoy reading your pain (in a good way)
Is there anything around the other side of the cathedral? Two hunters were down there, and a bag man hiding along a small path but I havent explored oast there.
Klaw-kun! I just went to the left and think I found the Forbidden Woods so should I go to the right of the Cathedral instead?

What is the best build for using Ludwig's Holy Blade?
Should I split Str/Skill 25/25 or go 50 on just one? It is my first time using this weapon and it's kind of confusing. What are the disadvantages of using it as a Great sword? As it seems to have the same speed as its lightsword form.

Second phase, just stay in front of him the whole time. He has some bigger attacks that take time for him to recover, I could get an R2 whip in that time and back away safely.
I've just finished NG, and while running through NG+ I've decided to mess with the jumps. I thought I had discovered a glitch that would allow the player to skip, like, one third of the game, so I have uploaded a video showing it:

Only to find that pretty much everyone knows about it already lol

Might be sticking to local multiplayer for a little while after this happened:

The delay on that parry.

It's a bit slower than the longsword form, takes a bit more stamina, but the advantage is damage per hit, stopping power and reach. The reach benefit is huge espcially against common enemies. The R2 charge attack has a massive amount of range and damage combined.

People SAY this game is easy, but personally I have died countless of times. 100+ times at least, and I have lost count to be honest. May be double or triple of that. But none of that has bothered me, because I have learned the very core of souls (from playing DaS & DaS2): it's about skill. You died, thus there was something you have done wrong. After playing literally HUNDREDS of hours of souls-like games, I don't feel the frustration, anger or the feeling of being stuck anymore. So, while this game might have "felt easy" (because I haven't felt negative feelings), it hasn't been easy. I have died countless of times.
I don't want a boss that I have to bash my head against for 40 hours to enjoy this game. I want a game in which I can just forget myself, a game which respects skill and ability to learn & adapt. I think BB is a game like that.

You know, even if I didn't find Bloodborne's enemy design, core gameplay, and overall art direction to be truly next level, just the fact that it doesn't employ most of the shitty hallmarks of modern AAA game design would be enough for it to sully a shit ton of games in my eyes.
i had to swallow my pride and just run past everything towards the lamp.
Yeah I understand completely, its just that these are the levels that make the game special, kinda different...and they always reward those who struggle through the area, i.e. great sword of

As far as Chalice Dungeons go, is it a good plan to clear the normal levels then just replace them with their root counterparts after you've found all the secrets, so you have completely unique versions? Do root dungeons only generate randomly once, btw?
It's great.

Instead of tentacle humping trying to stay up against the boss I stayed at mid-range. From mid you fish for head strikes and punish accordingly. Much safer than getting hit by random stuff while swinging the camera around.

Even that was difficult for me because with the geometry I didn't notice those stairs going down to that door. Hallelujah!Grimløck;158744854 said:

if you dodge toward his body as he's attacking in the first phase, you can pretty easily get behind/beside him and work on his legs. You can stagger him once on each leg and get him down to half health pretty quickly.
After half health he gains a few moves and is more erratic in his move selection. Here's the key: be patient and just keep your distance while circling him. Wait until he does the lava vomit, rush in and whack his hind legs, then retreat when he stops. Rinse, repeat.
You may be able to use the lava vomit tactic the whole fight, I just didn't try it.

Well when i fought her i wnated her to do that attack all the time.I dodged almost everytime and then its a free hit
I have no idea how but I luckily beat him...the real reward for that level of dungeon is the armour you get after beating
The Old Lords[/SPOILER] boss though.
HEre s my video of beating him at level 60? Just try to dodge and stay to the side, watch out for AOE. I am admitedly not doign well at level 40 with my blades of mercy character though.

Ok so from V
A's Cathedral, instead of going through the cave and into the woods on the left, I went right and had to fight two Hunters at once: a Rifle Spear user and Bolt Mace user. Shit was intense, but I made it through. Now I'm overlooking a huge cliff with a building down at the bottom. Where am I headed and is it the right way?

Str/skill split is the best for ludwigs. The other option is smacking a bolt/fire gem on it and leveling your arcane only.
