This isn't just RNG in the background - four bosses did this to me. That's far too many for it to just be based on 'luck'. Something is broken.

You hold the PS Button and then choose "Suspend Application". The PS4 goes into rest mode and next time you start it up you're at the same place. Now that you know, don't use it for Bloodborne.
EDIT: Apparently I didn't remember how it works. There's no "Suspend Application" option, just "Enter Rest Mode". Entering Rest Mode while the game is running puts the application in suspend. You need to explicitly choose "Close Application" first.

I always do it to recharge my controllers and headset over night. I also have been off work since laumch and play all day...thankfully I restarted after kissing alomost all the NPC event sto the mid point of the game ....but man I almost did a no healing/ no health loss run on BSB the second time around....has me thinking!!!!

Also, to clarify, it should still be fine to suspend your PS4 so that you can charge your controllers, just make sure to choose "Close Application" on Bloodborne first.

Yeah, now that I know about this potential bug, I will still restart it, but it will be nice for other games.
yes some bosses' AI is glitched and they can repeat the same 2 moves until they die. that's also why I thought that some bosses were "too easy" when people started streaming the game 1 week before release.
one boss especially is super easy if glitched but if not glitched shit gets really crazy.
really cool boss fight (and dat Lullaby music) if it doesn't glitch.

Any tips on dodging
Micolash's laser magic?

Yeah this makes sense. I've seen videos where the boss looks a lot simpler than the one I faced. I figured it might have been due to insight levels but it could be the glitch

shoot him before he finishes the spell.

He only does that when you get too far away. Stay close to him and circle strafe him to avoid his other

Er, actually, I think I'm wrong. I believe just going into rest mode puts the game in Suspend, unless you explicitly "Close Application", there's no "Suspend Application" option.

Please tell me there's a way to up your dream storage of vials and bullets. If they want me to farm so much, I hate hitting the 99 cap then wasting so many I could be keeping.

Time for a colonoscopy.
Pig Fisting Simulator 2015 aka Bloodborne
yup, took me a while to realize that you use your hand instead of your weapon to do visceral attacks. and it seems that the position of your hand (or fingers) depends on the type of weapon you're using.
Time for a colonoscopy.
Needs to be done with a 2h weapon for the proper fisting anim.
Sadly nothing you can do.

After so many hours with this game I've two complains:
1- Bosses start being amazing and then they go from fine to horrible, at least some secret bosses are great but the mindblowing feeling from the first 4 to 5 bosses never came back (I still have to fight against:
)
2- I love the shortcuts and how the game connect itself but I find no point at all at some being so far from the boss or filled with enemies that give no reward at all, if I lose too many times against a boss and I have to farm to get items why can't I use those enemies you put between the shortcut and the boss to farm them? Maybe I'm pissed because I've been fighting against
for far too long but it happened the same with
, the road to the boss is fairly short but you have enemies in the way that are completely useless, they drop nothing, they probably will never hit you once they're just there being a disposable obstacle.
I find the point 1 to have more weight because I'd love to feel like I did when I did my first steps in the game. That's why I try to not outlevel the game because the challenge it's what excites me the most right now.

Help:
I killed Cleric Beast, Father G,
. I've explored all I could find in
Is there anything I should do before heading through the the new area I'm in?
Am I missing any optional area or boss?
Ah, and there are two items I can't get, no matter what: In the C
And in O
I've spent probably a couple of hours trying to find ways to get to those items but I just can't. I felt so dumb.
I killed Cleric Beast, Father G,
BSB, the Witches, Vicar Amelia, and Darkbeast Paarl
Central Yarham, killed all hunters in the Cathedral area (except Alfred), and tried to go through the password door, but Amydagla got me and sent me somewhere else.
Eileen died ( =[ ). I've sent three people to the church: a lady that is going crazy (I'm thinking of killing her, but I'm afraid of the others' reaction), the nun and the whore. I gave the little girl the pendant, and can't find her anymore.

athedral Ward, there is a shortcut gate you open to the stairs that lead you to the cathedral. Right past the gate, there's a ladder on the right. In front of you, there is an item, near a ledge. How to reach it?
And in O
ld Y, there is a house you either go inside or take a ladder before reaching the area with the scaffold, with a bunch of enemies. there is a lower, thin part to the left and, close to the building, there is a hole, a bit higher than the ground, with an item to the end. How can I get in that level of the building? I can't jump in through the hole, and I've searched the whole house and haven't found a mean to reach there.
I've spent probably a couple of hours trying to find ways to get to those items but I just can't. I felt so dumb.

I asked this earlier. Anyone know?
1. Go check out the upper cathedral ward, check around the right of the building. 2. Go to the left of that building, you should see some greyish things jutting out from the building, try to jump to them

Not until you get the summons to go to the castle.
Unseen Village, near the area where you were thrown into the prison.

Yes. I know for sure from experience. I ended up being summoned by players in NG+ several times to help out with VA when I was farming for echoes the past weekend. I at the time haven't beaten the game and was around level 75-80.

I'm not around to help right now, but have you tried
maximizing your Arcane Defense? You can use the robes you find in Byrgenwerth and the arcance defense rune to get high enough Arcane defense that his magic attacks won't hurt you too much. I also recommend killing the spiders first, and then getting a few hits in on him. I found the Tonitrus works *really* well on the babies.
Why is that a spoiler? Why would you want to kill him?

Thank you very much <3
I could swear I checked that area very thoroughly, but I'm usually afraid of
jumping
NOt sure about your house one, but I also missed some stuff and eventually found it by poking around the area up the elevator inside the church...only watch video if you want to be spoiled.

I would assume the L2 transformed move. Not sure what else would.

Loving this as my first Souls like game. In the time it took me to get past the first area, I would have beaten most other AAA titles these days. Have downed the first four bosses and am in the Forbidden Woods area. This level has me tense and has taught me that I need to approach fights patiently even more so then previous areas. I've unlocked the three or so shortcuts I've found so far but I have one question for those that have finished the game:
Great game so far and I'm considering picking up DS2 now because I'm going to need to feed this newfound addiction somehow.
From reading around, I found that the Forbidden Woods area links back to Iosefka's clinic. All I want to know is whether this shortcut is naturally found at the end of the Forbidden Woods level or if you have to find it by exploring the woods yourself? Don't tell me where it is!!
