Killed Father G on the first try on level 20. Did I over level, or am I just getting good at Bloodborne?

I think level 20 is a tad high. I was a lot lower IIRC.

 

[Steel]

Yes she was one of the "stay on dat ass" enemies. Didn't use lock on and was running around her the whole time.

9/10 Bloodbourne bosses seem to be that type of enemy.

 

[Ashes]

look for a random enemy in the area with glowing eyes. even after I turned off my game, someone has it when I revisit. it's not always the enemy that killed you who took them.

I looked over all over the place, when this happened to me. I think I switched off from ps4 without manually exiting the game via the game's system menu though.

3rd boss down... I'm loving this game so far.

Only two big issues I have with it on a technical level:

- load times are garbage

- losing insight due to network issues (don't take my insight away unless i connect with someone, how hard is that)

Insight loss is really frustrating when no-one joins you. I've used 5 insight recently and not once did anyone join.

Lame.

Also in some areas it will be on the ground somewhere before or after the spot from where you died.I have even had them show up on one of the crows in the brush to the side when it was another enemy some distance away that killed me.

The best way to beat Amelia is not to grind but to beat her properly with a good tactic. Here's how I did it after a few futile attempts. Notice that she only managed to hit me once: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01ytj__fm9E

I know a couple people also mentioned this, but wow, that was nothing like when I fought her. A lot of videos people have posted are of bosses just staggering around half-drunk barely attacking at all. One of the

videos I saw consisted only of the boss continuously face-planting over and over without even trying to attack for the duration of the fight.

has always been the easiest boss in the game. I accidentally found this method in my first fight against her. I've done it a second time with my second characters. Used exactly the same strategy and her behaviors were the same as the first time, too, just using one combo that always misses me. Now this fight is trivia.

Here is a video I recorded last night.

https://youtu.be/9HPmrB1BDKA

The key is to keep a little distance from her and then start running straight towards her immediate left. She will start a combo which will miss you and allow you to get behind her. Get a few hits in. Back off a little bit after she turns around. Repeat.

I'd appreciate it if someone could try this and tell me if this works for you or not.

Yeah, on boss fights they can sometimes be outside the door when you arrive, inside on the floor somewhere or even an enemy outside the door picked them up. Remember, these enemies have walking patterns so they could have gotten them then walked off for a nice smoke and a song lol




Down (outside) and to the right is some armor It's hanging off the front part of a carriage. LOTS of those bloodecho balls, too. (stuff that gives you blood echos)

YEEEEEEEEEEEES I GOT YOU ! Who's laughing now ? Go back bark at giants spiders. I piss on your dead flaming body, you miserable, cheating, piece of canine monstrosity. Defiled Watchdog, more like Deaded Watchdog now. Hardest boss in the game. By MILES. Felt like the developer didn't want anyone to go past him. need to cool down a bit. Feels like a super sayan right now

Grats, I felt the pain.

I'm stuck on Isz chalice final boss now lol...

- losing insight due to network issues (don't take my insight away unless i connect with someone, how hard is that)

I agree. Maybe its well known, but you do get one Insight if you complete a co-op (as in beating a boss) where you are the helper. If you get low on Insight, you can always do some co-op to gain more Insight.

Maybe. There's another one that's close.

Which one?

I didn't even realize I was fighting a boss until the big health bar popped up. I'm like, what? Little blue guys for the boss? OK. Realized a bit in that one was the main guy and just rolled in, Ludwig 4 swings on him and rolled out. Rinse and repeat. Only boss I killed on my first attempt. I also had 65K in souls from just running through the Upper Ward and I didn't even get that nervous, lol.

EDIT: As for Upper Ward, yeah, FUCK those slurpy sucker guys. Seriously. They make me rage like no no other enemy. Thank GOD they were not the boss fight.

It's been like this the two times I fought her with 2 different characters. It seems that when you are running towards her. Her first priority is to start that combo to stop you and she will forget to do her other moves...

It's funny to see some videos here of bosses pulling off different move sets that were done on me. Kinda cool actually.
