Okay. Seriously. Fuck BLB.

I am not having fun anymore.

Also, when searching chalices, what are the little messengers next to the depth and area mean?

Congrats! What level were you?

Like 104 now I think? I posted by stats a couple pages back when I was at 100 still, I just added some poibtw to str

Basically an indicator for how many people have joined it.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

I think Bloodborne has a wide range. I sometimes get cooped with NG people instead of NG+ people for BSB and Rom. Give it a try. Use password "GAF" and summon at the top of the elevator.

Okay I'm heading there now.

 

[7DollarHagane]

I am slow going this game..

Managed to get the blood starved beast finally. Felt great.

Then I did the chalice dungeon and killed a undead giant boss without any blood vials. Also felt good!

I'm still there waiting. Someone just summoned me with the password, but they were already down there and part of a rival faction. I'm guessing a lurker.

Not being familiar with any of his specific texts, what would one recommend for getting into his work -- or is the term Lovecraftian referring to something bigger than any one work?

Does Father Gascoigne ever say Umbasa in the final build? He did in the Alpha right?

Probably the Cthulu mythos, which seems to be a great influence on Bloodborne: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu_Mythos_anthology

Specifically, The Call of Cthulu by Lovecraft himself.

Edit- Read these:

The Call of Cthulhu (February, 1928)
The Dunwich Horror (April, 1929)
The Whisperer in Darkness (August, 1931)
At the Mountains of Madness (March-April, 1936)
The Shadow Over Innsmouth (April, 1936)
The Shadow Out of Time (June, 1936)
The Haunter of the Dark (December, 1936)

Lovecraft's other works are also great, you should give them a read.

That jumping 2 handed axe attack is really useful huh. For some reason I never use it with my STR Axe character, holy crap why did I do that...

Can anyone help me with Eberitas. I am level 79.

Maybe its not letting you summon me. Have you been trying?

Each boss fight I see of this game is fucking amazing.

I've gotten to the final boss and honestly don't even know if I want to bother finishing. Definitely did not like this game compared to the souls series

Ok, well level difference must be a problem then. Odd that I sometimes get summoned to NG people on early/middle bosses then. I recommend just summoning anyone and then PM them to send the elevator up.

 

[BizzyBum]

Spoiler

Castle Cainhurst is on just another fucking level, and it's an optional area of the game! Something that amazing should be required to progress the story so no one could possibly miss it. My only gripe is that it's over way too quick.

 

[knitoe]

Thanks! beer

[Laughing Banana]

Even amongst all the large beasts, monstrous claws, and whathaveyou, those Brain enemies that sing honestly gives me the BIGGEST AMOUNT OF CREEP. Really, I felt my skin all tingly with a sense of unexplainable dread when I hear that hum... so goddamn creepy MY GOD.

 

[Yopis]

Nearing the end game is so good hard to go back to other souls games. This has been my favorite.

[MegaSackman]

I just finished up this fight myself. The first 4 times he slaughtered me but the 5th time I wreaked havoc upon him. I found intelligently pacing my damage before his first disappearing act helped give me a great headstart. Here's my video if it helps you at all:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G53s2KNGYpM

Didn't use Ludwig's but after two attempts I killed him.
Your video helped me with the idea of killing the first wave of spiders, that way I could focus on Rom to do maximun damage the first time. After that just two full combos on him and The End.

Thx!

To my surprise there's a 4th layer. -_-

[Heel]

Do the level requirements for co-op (within 10 levels + 10% of your level, right?) apply to Chalice Dungeons as well? What about when using the Short Ritual Root Chalice?

Any special tips to get the bells to actually connect to a friend? Seems a bit picky.

 

[HardRojo]

I just read about that. Sad they took it out =/

Yeah, it was a nice nod to DeS, but they probably didn't want people to have a reason to call this DeS 2 since Bloodborne is its own thing.

Eileen and The Chapel Red Guy..... I tried to help her out by attacking that Hunter she was fighting in the Tomb of Odeon, guess my blade to her head wasn't very good help! The red guy gave me a fright when I landed in the Chapel for the first time... so I sliced him up, dang!!

So, have I gimped myself, or made my NG more interesting by knowing who not to kill?

 

[MegaSackman]

I think he is saying that after Bloodborne he can't play Dark Souls 2 again.
