So how much is left in the game after I finish

and

? Don't want it to end lol.

Meh 50-60% with the game I wanna say.

 

[The perfect Dark]

I have a question. I tried DeS and it was too frustrating and vague for me that I dropped it only a few hours in. Is BB as frustrating and confusing as DeS? I hear the loading is long (20-35 sec.) so I worry that would just add to the frustration. I missed the %10 off offer and since it is a success, I don't think it'll get cheaper soon, so I am thinking of buying it full priced, but I am worried it'll just be too frustrating as well and I'd regret paying full price for it.
Any opinions?

Cheers.

It's pretty much a souls game so you won't like it ^^

what is the trigger for this? the only time i recall seeing eileen in my first playthrough is in central yharnham in that big area above the rats. i remember fighting a hunter in the

This run was able to take down Father G at lv 10! Man that was tough. He was my first boss down this time. Now to go get the witch to get runes with 2 bosses down

 

[Naudi]

Half?

Cool thank you. Was hoping I wasn't in final stretch. I don't have much time to play and I try and explore everything, so I should still have plenty of game left by the time the guide comes lol. Although I still may not open it till NG+.

 

[Guevara]

Does anything have a cheat-sheet for what I'm supposed to do with the Chalice dungeons?

I made two, fought the bosses, but didn't really find anything besides blood and more chalices.

That's what chalice dungeons are unfortunately. Roots give the chance for weapons to drop.

every game that doesn't have NINTENDO on it somewhere will drop to $30 or 40 within 6 months or less. if you're not entirely sold on it, there's no harm in waiting- especially since patches are coming.

The cool stuff (weapons and better runes) are in the higher Root Chalices, and even so it's random appearance so... yeah.

For the Chalice trophy:

Pthumeru Chalice (3 layers)

Central Pthumeru Chalice (3 layers)

Lower Pthumeru Chalice (4 layers)

Ailing Loren Chalice (you need to find two "Bastard or Loran" items, needed to create the next dungeon - you could find these as early as the first layer, or much later, but play at least until you find the Beast Claw weapon in Layer 2)

Defiled Chalice (3 layers - you have half HP throughout this dungeon, which makes the bosses *brutal*)

Pthumeru Ihyll Chalice (3 layers, Yharnam, Blood Queen of the Old Labyrinth is at the bottom)

I was stuck on the first part before the first boss so it can be a lil tricky. I haven't used a guide or anything to get me through the game. I say rent it or borrow it if you can but honestly this is a must own game. Once you get through the first 2-3 bosses I think it gets some what easier.

 

[Ferr986]

Not sure, but I think the Uncanny and Lost variants are all in Roots. The new

are in a normal Chalice (I think it's Loran?).

You may also need to do Lower Loran and Isz for the Red Jelly needed for Ihyll, unless you're in NG+ and didn't miss the ones in the Lecture room.

So how do I co-op? I need help with the Cleric Beast, I've rang my little bell and used my only insight, and nothing is happening. Is there really no-one out there offering their services to help with the first boss?

Brilliant. You'd think after 3+ attempts they'd know what they were doing by now. Especially since it actually worked well in Demon's Souls.

There seems to be a multiplayer bug that happens when you put your PS4 in rest mode. If you turn it off instead of rest and turn it back on it seems to reset the multiplayer connection and it works way better.

Or there might not be any players in that area.

Maybe because the bell required to help others can only be bought after aquiring at least 10 insight meaning advancing past father g.

Broken is too far fetched.

I found I had to shoot him twice to stagger him during his second phase when he was two handed. Don't know if that'l help or not, but it worked for me. Absolutely loved that boss fight. Great character.

Yeah, co-op always worked extremely well for me in Dark Souls 2.

The upside for me is that I enjoy helping people co-op more than summoning in Bloodborne. Seems like there is such a lack of people offering assistance that I always get summoned almost right away.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Yep, it's broken. I don't think Dark Souls 2 is a bad game (I loved it) but it is definitely the worst in the series. The multiplayer though...is the best. It works.
In Bloodborne I can help other players...and I can invade them (even if it's pointless in BB) but summoning? Nope...I wasted 25 insght in the last two days. I'm done with BB multiplayer.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Most definitely! You can do it!

[NastyBook]

If you want to fight him legit I can give you these tips.

Spoiler

If he is walking slowly towards you in 1 hand stance, get near him and fire your gun, it will almost always parry him. If he goes 2 hand, he will probably run towards you, I always charged my R2 and let it rip when he came near me, works 90% of time.

This will work until he's used his health vial and gone down below 30% or so, in which case good luck, because his openings are rarer, and he will spam his gun more.

Thanks. I took a break to watch this MKX tournament, but I'm getting back into now after I farm a few blood vials.

 

[GulAtiCa]

What enemies drop Red Jelly?

Yes, yes, those are visceral attacks and not parries.

[mujun]

Easier said than done lol...

I also found him hard. I used the shotgun and Kirkhammer. I found that if I missed a medium range shotgun attempt that spamming shots after that (1 o 2) would then get a visceral opening. I could also wail on him with the sword until he dodged away, my flurry would interrupt his attempts to counter.

So Im day 2 on my PS4 and it seems like my controller is a bit wonky. I need to touch my stick all the way forward until it hits the plastic in order to jog forward...... any idea how to fix this? ie. "Rezero" the controller?

some people have shared their glyphs.

rpx5dirg is an awesome glyph. It contains a +300 frenzy resist rune (very handy), a +150 resist all rune, Lost Ludwig's blade, and a Blood Rock.

The best part about using glyph is you don't need any mats. You just need to have that particular chalice in your inventory.

The only perequiste to using it is to beat the Great Isc chalice
