Don't forget the two fake OTs as well.
I don't mind one, but 2 (and even 3) in close proximity is fucking bullshit.

Cool, I'm going to give it a go then. Start off as bag of skin, then you can pump more into bloodtinge?

So for those of youse who've finished the game how many bosses did you end up killing the first time, I only died against
and I wouldn't exactly consider myself some seasoned vet at the souls games.
Blood-starved Beast, One Reborn and Gerhman.

i thought it was 50? you'll still see gains after 25.
yeah, bag of skin lol. but it's going to be rough early on b/c the most viable gun with the build isn't available until later and it's an optional area. you're going to

Hard cap is 50 but apparently usefulness of upgrade dips after 25.
Depending on the weapons you use, the more you upgrade them, the better their scaling becomes, which in turn means they may scale more to post 25 stats.

Just shooting, no attacking with your trick weapon? You'd need to have all the runes that give you extra bullet carrying capacity, a ton of vitality for blood bullets, enough strength to wield the cannon. I still doubt it would work. Some enemies have such high health, and even though the cannon can take off like 30% of a boss's health, you might run out of bullets/vials.

Souls games have a lot of longevity, people usually play those games for over 500 hours. Especially with the Chalice Dungeons, people still haven't figured out everything those Dungeons offer.

Use the whip. You can hit them while staying out of melee range.
Popular advice for Forbidden Woods is just RUN! lol
But for real, try to move so you are always on their side. And dodge. Everything.
Then the wiki is wrong.
Imost certainly did counter his second form attacks, it was even easier than for his first form.
Maybe what this section is meant to say is that it doesn't interupt him when he is in a combo, which is possible; however you can counter him before he unleashes his combo.
Really his second form is not that bad; it's his first form that's dangerous.

Ahh okay. I was just wondering if it's a waste to take STR from 25-30 vs tossing some points in Arcane taking it, for example, 10-15.

no. the stats are hardcapped at 99. you'll see diminishing returns at 25+ but it isn't a huge drop off. you'll still get 1-3 points per level depending on weapon scaling.

I really liked the
fight, very well voice acted too

Thanks so much for that! I must have overlooked your response earlier. I will definitely do that! Thanks so much!
I'm such an idiot not knowing you could kill the casters. The fight was already easy enough, killing the casters would of made it so much more

Agreed. Once everyone has done NG+ or two it will taper off.

Yup. People have been using the terms "hard/soft cap" to refer to different stages of diminishing return rates. From 25 to 30Skill, I only gained 1 point of attack per level, but from 30 to 38 I was getting 2-3 per level. And thus was with a Threaded Cane that I've been upgrading pretty steadily; I gave it maxed out now.

Really depends on your playstyle, I think. I never died to VA and the internet tells me she's one of the hardest bosses in the game. BSB initially gave me issues but I've started fighting him sans armor and without vials just to show off. Other bosses that people have said were easy, though? Like
that Nightmare Host?

Just now easing into the game. Getting comfortable with my types of attacks and dodging. Can reliably get to the wolves on the bridge in the first area now, but I've been way too reluctant to use my gun. I simply underestimated its effectiveness at stopping attacks while they occur. Also just learned about the hold R2 + R1 power move, so I should be to that first boss in no time.
Also, fuck those crow things.

As soon as I see one of those red asshole spiders, I charge into the room and murder the bell maiden.
All of their adds die when they die.

how do you farm insight? there really isn't any reason to do so unless you want stuff from the insight store and/or are ringing your bell constantly.

Oh, I'm doing this, but the gank squad shaving off half of your health in a lunge swarming you in droves (there's two maidens right now) isn't doing me much favors.
Time to whip out the trusty cannon.

You just have to hold R2 for the charge attack. Holding R1 isn't necessary.
Edit- also, use your gun! You can fire while an enemy is in mid-swing, and stagger it. Press R1 while you're standing directly in front of it and you'll do a visceral attack, which does a ton of damage.

just wanna say that the
fight was so disappointingly easy. but thats maybe because i already fought
One Reborn

a long range weapon like cane or saw will outreach their attacks. Don't stand so far away as to trigger their spit attack
Yeah, it depends on your playstyle,
Rom & The Nurse
Father G & VA my first time
Less echoes and more varied attacks on some enemies. But I don't notice too much of a difference. My character is pretty solid, +9 cane and level 60+.
Ya.. Was just wondering if some good stuff came to the
insight

I've used a new strategy which is to keep circling them after they go for an attack... Otherwise use your environment and attack through trees and rocks
Anyone? Really yearning for a new weapon. I feel like I've properly scoured all the areas I've been in so far but it's fairly likely I've missed a super secret area...
At 99 you nearly get insta-frenzied. So there's definitely a big difference.
only noticed some changes in cathedral ward anyways and nothing did catch me of guard.
idk.
of course, you maybe get less, but still enough.
i don't know if i understand you right.
there is never a reasons to farm anything.
did you beat the witches yet?
Make sure you have the item requirements.
High tier enemies get some varied meaty attacks.

...Yeah... okay not going for 99 insights... nope Frenzy can just go and jump a cliff...
No. Overall so far people haven't found much use for insight. Really hoping there's more to it, can't wait for the guide
I ran 99 insight. Just have frenzy resistance and you're good.

My opinion on the first 6 Bloodborne bosses:
I feel like I missed someone.
1) First 2 bosses were fairly easy but both very enjoyable. (first try each)
2) BSB kicked my butt hard, only boss I couldn't solo. (10ish tries)
3) Amelia took a good 3 chances and was not too bad. Used fire paper not knowing how awesome it helped.
4) Witch was the easiest boss on the planet. (2 tries, got sandwiched 1st attempt)
5) 3x Hunters @ Forbidden Woods weren't too bad. Learned after the 1st attempt to kill Haduken guy first. (2 attempts)
6) ROM kicked my butt hardcore (probably 12 attempts)
BSB and Rom gave me the most trouble easily. Other than BSB and the Witch, great bosses. I'd love to try BSB again.
