I just do those areas offline.

He takes a lot more damage during the middle phase. It's the same with some of the other bosses as well.

Oh yeah, it did less at the start. I don't think I even noticed that during the fight, lol.

For the fire swipe I dodged sideways. It seemed like it could catch the backdash.
 
Astral said:
Are you talking about that fire swipe thing? I just dodge back to dodge it. I only ever attacked him while he was spitting on the floor or after a failed bite attempt. I never took any other risks. You have to be really patient in that fight.
Click to expand...

Sounds like a good plan. I killed
Abhorrent Beast
by backpeddling and using poison knives so I certainly can be patient.
 
Wait, if I just got to Yahargul, does that mean
that I can no longer explore Hypgeon Gal as it originally was? Will Darkbeast Paarl still be there? I was transported to Hypogeon Gal ages ago, but I left it because I figured it was a much higher level area than I should've been in, but now I can no longer get back there and clearly it's not the same area.

I'll be pissed if Paarl isn't there anymore to kill.

My basic attack does 294 on his head... the only moment where it does 953 is when he is down and his head is cracked opened.

watch again ;)

Haha, yeah I realized my mistake. Sorry. :P

you won't be able to go back to the
hypogean gaol
as it was but you'll be able to fight
paarl
by going through
the unseen village
the same way you did the HG.
 
So now I've completed NG and I'm half way through NG+ (just beat S
hadows, only actually fought Father G and Amelia so far
), I'm going through the chalice dungeons to work towards that Plat.

Level 4 of some chalice, the boss is R
om
. Now, I have no issues with him, but imagine those mechanics in a small, square room.

I'm getting wrecked. Hardest fight in the game so far, including the final boss.

Holy shit, you're right. I hadn't focused on the theme part at all during the fight,cause...reflexes/attention on it's attacks.
Click to expand...

Music is a big deal to me so I'm always paying attention which gets me killed sometimes :p

But yeah, that one stood out as well as TOR's. Also the few locations with background music scares the shit out of me.
 
Dark-Cloudz said:
Yeah, they go if you die a second time. If you're particulalrly attached to them, run back past the enemies to get them. Also *Spoiler*
There is a short cut to the boss, through the house to your left after the 2 werewolves on the bridge.
Click to expand...

thanks! Yeah I noticed that shortcut luckily.
do you suggest forgetting about the echoes and trying to get some more strength before going back to him? I'm not having a huge issue evading and dodging but my attacks feel..weak. Maybe that's how it is supposed to be?

I would forget about them, you'll run into that scenario a few more times :) you could try levelling up a bit but you'll feel underpowered for most of the game, that's pretty much one of it's staples.
 
The more I play, the more I miss everything about Dark Souls. The ONLY thing I prefer in Bloodborne is the offense-based combat system.

I haven't beaten it yet (I'm stuck on
Rom
), but based on the areas I've seen, the environments are nowhere near as varied and interesting.

My favorite experience so far is:
Machine Gun Area
. There was a real sense of accomplishment once I took out the two main threats in this area.

I also really enjoy the interconnectedness, and the variety of combat you can get out of relatively few weapons. Reaching a new lamp/shortcut is as rewarding as ever.

My least favorite experience so far:

ROM
Seriously, I've even been trying to co-op this guy and am getting nothing. Other areas I get connections immediately, but sometimes I wait 20-30 minutes for help, and even then, we always end up wiping. His magic attack feels unavoidable sometimes, and feels unfair when I get hit by it (a rarity in FROM games).

Also, the loading in this game BREAKS the level of immersion completely, and I think that it should be criticized more for this aspect. I don't care if they promised to look into it. They shipped a flawed experience. As it is, Bloodborne is a 9/10 game sitting in a 6/10 package. I hope they fix it soon, because the design choice of having to go back to the dream constantly and the inability to warp between lamps makes me not want to go back and explore areas.

Dammit. That gives me a reason to replay it in NG+ at least. Are the items any different between the before & after areas?
 
Holy shit.

I just got to the place with 3
hunters
in
Yar'ghul
. I managed to
kite two of them back and pick them off. I start the fight with the third, who has a cannon. I'm kicking his ass with my Ludwig's +6. I have him down to like 30% and he puts some distance between us. No problem, I think, let him come to me. Click, BOOM, and I'm dead. I was sitting with least 90% health and he one-shotted me with that fucking thing.

Even that laser from the massive chuthulu thing didn't one shot me. Not even close.

I'm done for now.
 
Just want to say I'm still having a blast with this game. I'm mostly doing chalice dungeons now and progressing a new character a bit.

I just found the short root ritual chalice which is amazing for random co-op, and killed the
Watchdog
and
Amygdala
in the Defiled chalice. Ready for the final Pthumeru dungeon now! I may take a break to play some other stuff after that, I really don't want to get burned out. I've barely played anything else since this released and I never do that. I think I need to play the new Kirby to balance myself out, lol.

no. the items should be the same afaik. the_ only_ thing i can think of is
adella
won't be there in
the unseen village
.
 
Erm I'm watching my brother's playthrough and it's completely different to mine. He's found a bunch more secrets and he even got captured and transported to
The Unseen Village
and collected the awesome armour set and got the
Tonitrus
which is the best weapon I've come accross.

Holy crap this game is magnificent.

And also fuck you bro for doing better than me.
 
(chalice boss)
Yharnam, Pthumerian Queen done on the first attempt, feels good

only have two more trophies left. also, I think I need to change my most-hated boss to
Abhorrent Beast
 
Hemwick
witch bossfight
was surprisingly easy. Maybe I was overleveled for it [44]. Any suggestions where I can find good HP/Damage/Stamina runes?

BTW, OT3 is flowing very quickly. Looks like soon we will need OT4. :)

Super annoying boss, but you can cheese him so easily. Just lock on, get a long weapon (hunter axe or transformed saw cleaver) and just keep backwards dodging until you get an opening.

Turns it into a joke. If you try to fight him head on... it's the most annoying, difficult fight in the game IMO.

icar
A
melia
can eat a bag of dicks.
It's easy, I know it's easy, but I always get caught up in some bullshit attack. I got her down to 3 pixels of life more than once.
 
Without spoiling too much, does the game automatically restart after the final boss (like Dark Souls) or do I get to do stuff after the final boss (like DS2)?
 
I just...Ebrietas...Isz Chalice...10% of health left! 10%!!

Stay in mid range. Never get too far away from him. When he teleports. Find him immediately and run to him. I didn't get hit once by that attack when I beat him
 
Do chunks eventually become available from the Insight store?
 
Mid-game/Chalice Dungeon Boss
Abhorrent Beast. The only reason I encountered it in the game was because I trust no person that eats another person. I completely cheesed that fight. Bit me in the ass when I had to fight it for real in the Chalice Dungeon. That boss has huge reach making it pretty hard to punish. One of the tougher bosses around as far as getting damage in. Fight took forever.

I just got invaded somewhere else.
It was my favorite fight yet. I spent the whole time using R1 and switching to high speed weapons with R1. My opponent had a (weapon in the game I didn't know players could get)
SCHYTHE!
and Blades of Mercy. We were both probably running DEX. We were both at very low health, but my entire fight was setting up a surprise R2. At just the right moment they missed and I swung my cane whip around on my first heavy R2 and got the kill. Good times. After that fight I found the bell maiden. Naturally I took it and shoved it up a pigs backside. I then killed that pig and ate the bacon.
Game needs some consensual PvP without the health hit. I could see myself getting into it, but right now I'm still trying to beat the game and complete the Chalice Dungeons.

More beginner questions, occasionally when I pick up an item I get additional items with some kind of bond mark next to it; what triggers that?
Click to expand...
When your inventory is full then that item is sent to your vault. You can pick it up there if you ever run low on that item.
 
The one thing THE ONE DAMN THING That is making me so mad with this game is the co-op. I have never been able to invite my brother despite doing all the tips perfectly

I've been trying that, but I always seem to get hit at least once by the magic. I usually run toward him, slightly on an angle. I've varied up rolling and trying to change direction, but only three times out of 20+ attempts have I managed to completely not get hit. I will try to vary it up again and see what I can do. At least losing to him made me go and investigate the Chalice dungeons finally. Those provide a nice respite from the main game.
 
Man, where can I get Bastard of Loran? I cleared out all of Ailing Loran Layer 3 where Fextralife said they would be dropped and I didn't get any.
