If you've beaten some optional bosses, you should have gotten badges to unlock weapons at the merchant. There's a Rifle Spear in

Old Yharnam, inside a house

. And if you

were caught by an enemy and sent to jail

, there's another weapon in that area...

I found the Rifle Spear, is it any good? Just assumed it was a novelty weapon combining the shooting mechanics with it but would ultimately be useless.

I've found two entrances to

so I'm going to check that out when I next get on. I hope it's a skill weapon as I'm heavily invested in that stat lol.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

That is up for you to decide.

Some like a lot if health, other a lot a attack power.
Some a little bit if both.

Most important is stamina imo.

VIT across all builds. str/skill dependent on which build you're running.

Thanks I've been updating vitality and strength.

How does one "one-shot" her?

People call it "one shot" when they beat a boss on the first try.
For me one shooting means you kill something with one attack.
Her it is different.

Really wish people stop saying "one-shot", as it literally makes it sound like you killed a boss with 1 weapon hit.. Esp confusing since some bosses you can kill in 2 weapon hits (Cannon is OP apparently lol)

One by one. No seriously. also sneak up on as many as you can.

 

[Torraz]

It is a different vendor. Go into the house, turn left halfway through and you will see another messenger bath outside on the ledge.

That's the one I am checking at. Under the first tab I see pungent blood and under another one father g's clothing.

 

[SeanTSC]

How does one "one-shot" her?

"One-shot" has a couple different contexts.

1) You killed something in One Try.

2) You killed something or something killed you in One Hit.

In this case it means that they killed her in one attempt at her, since there's not really any bosses you can OHK in Bloodborne.

It might be possible if you saved some early game optional bosses until you were very high level at the end of the game and then used a heavily upgraded Cannon with Bone Marrow Ash on them, but that's a very unlikely scenario.

I haven't played around with the Rifle Spear too much, but the two handed R2 charge attack is fun to use.

The weapon in that area you're going to check out isn't a Skill weapon

As a Skill build, I'm still using the Cane, with Blades of Mercy as backup. Wish there were more Skill weapons in the game.

The Skill based weapons are the hardest to obtain or take the longest to obtain. A few are in the optional area with a pretty tough boss and one requires you to beat the game.

It is an optional area for now. High lv enemies, but also some really good stuff if you can manage. That is the earliest location one can reliably farm Twin blood stone shards from, aka get +4-6 weapon upgrades.

Agreed. I always think of "One shot" as, "Killed with one hit".

You know, the thing bosses do to me all the time.

[SeanTSC]

Really wish people stop saying "one-shot", as it literally makes it sound like you killed a boss with 1 weapon hit.. Esp confusing since some bosses you can kill in 2 weapon hits (Cannon is OP apparently lol)

It means both and I've heard people use it as both for as long as I can remember in gaming. Can't fault people for using a common terminology of it. It's especially prevalent among people who have played MMOs. It's really not that confusing imo.

"Give it a shot" doesn't usually mean to literally shoot something. It means "give it a try". Thus, if you killed something in one go, you killed it in one shot.

And while people tend to say "she one-shot me" if killed by something, I tend to find that people say they "killed it in one hit" or OHK'd something if they kill something with just one attack.

 

[Palocca]

Yep, exactly how I got past them on Saturday. Took me about a dozen or so tries. Fun fight though.

I think this was the most exhilarating boss fight so far for me. By the time I had only one guy left, I was out of blood vials. The fight literally came down to the last swing, where I emerged victorious.

There was a thread a couple of days ago about your hands shaking after an intense moment in video games. In that thread, I wrote that it never happens to me when playing single player games. And of course, Bloodborne got me eating crow.

You can knock them down easily with the R2 charge attack of the axe in its transformed mode. If you happen to have one of those, I'd give it a shot with that.

He moves so fast and does so much damage

2H and charge attack. The hunter AI in the game is good about dodging your regular attacks, but no so much charged attacks, as he just kinda walks toward you and takes it. I was using Ludwig's Holy Blade, which probably helped, since its charge attack is a thrust with really good range. When he starts tossing numbing mists, you get free swings as well.

When he begins the attack, make sure you're somewhat away from him. when he throws the scythe in the air, dodge just under him. It will miss every time.
