So after thinking i was a bit overleveled at 50-55 because i killed Rom on the third try the game is now kicking my ass in Unseen Village and Nightmare frontier. So i decided to go to Cainhurst Castle but had to look up some YT video's on how to get there. How do people find this stuff out? Getting the summons is one thing because of exploring and stuff. But to trigger the cutscene.. Id never would have found out by myself.

It's the only thing I rea dislike about this game. Plus there is no real way to stop it other than items since it just keeps building

Yeah, the item stops it, but one second later, you're hit again, so it basically just delays it. I guess it makes sense that you cant sneak up on the

brain enemies because they have eyes all over their head, so they can see in all directions.

 

[Zocano]

Having very low insight and sedatives on hand helps a lot but the high level singers are still pretty tough to deal with.

Uh. It was pretty simple, the location was in the item description, I just went there and the scene triggered.

[deicide2673]

Frenzy is so stupid : Its near impossible to avoid it. And you cant sneak up on those enemies either.

Yeah I had a lot of issues at first with frenzy. The bar just went full immediately and pretty much killed me. I had 70 insight which was the biggest problem, once I brought it right down and put the frenzy res rune on the bar hardly crept up at all. Made things much much easier.

Have fun in Cainhurst. And no, the yard is not the base difficulty of this level. It's way easier inside.

Yes. Also the crow outfit from Eileen has a pretty high frenzy res if I recall. I used that, and didn't have much trouble.

I was actually disappointed by how easy the rest of it was

minus the boss

given how much I enjoyed the difficulty of the first enemies.

Me 2 but Marty really balanced it out. I think i needed 15 tries.

Key for me was to only fight one of them at a time and dodging into them ( forward, with lock on) when they attack. That puts you (almost) behind them (also good strategy for some bosses).

Could you maybe try and be a little more specific ?

I spent an hour touring the place, hitting every wall and there was nothing to be found except for one illusory wall that lead to a messenger shop.

If you beat on the little man on top it does massive damage. Also make sure to kill the witches around the balconys first. Gtfo when he throws up. Some people like jumping off the balcony and striking, but I kept getting stuck on him and killed when I did that.

 

[HassanJamal]

Man, every time I play Bloodborne, I worry my ps4's dying. I've had three short freeze moments where the sounds freezing scared me more than the game's content. 2 short freezes in Old Yarnham and one where the game froze for nearly 2 seconds at the Forbidden Woods. Also, after reaching Old Yarnham and furthering on, my character has these odd moments of walking instead of running when I have the stick pushed to the fullest.

 

[Khayam]

I did that. I'd really like some more specific instructions like "there is a hidden door in room where X that leads to there".

I hit every wall in the damn dungeon, I explored the part after you open the door boss.. I just don't see what I missed.

 

[UV-6]

No, I think that's Wednesdays. Seems to be back up now though.

Can't get back in again now either

Heh completely missed that since i never looked at the description . Had to look up how to get to Cainhurst from the beginning.

Thanks it looks pretty damn cool. Crazy that its an optional area!

When it froze for a second did you get a weird audio tone from your tv?

That happens all the time, I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[Curufinwe]

Well I did it! I beat it and got the secret ending. First Souls style game I have really spent this much time on and I love it a lot. The boss battles can be a bit frustrating and I vastly prefer the times when I am scouting for another shortcut or items. Regardless though getting through the game was a goal for me and I am so happy I did.

I actually had a harder time on

Sorry, I don't remember exactly where it was. I gave up on getting that treasure originally; it was definitely not easy to find. Redid the dungeon once I read I had missed out on a sinister chalice. I want to say it might have been right at the start.

Maybe this video shows the location?

Those attacks are the easiest of hers to avoid, but have a sedative just in case.

It's pretty easy to dodge, keep on tapping the button while pushing stick left or right. And, you don't have any sedative?

You let it build up in the meter a bit before using the sedative. Using the sedative resets the meter. So you deal with it, use a vial if you must and a sedative as described and you'll be managing it properly.
