Bloodborne |OT+++| ...and so the Nightly Hunt continues

Anyone else using the rifle spear? The two-handed r2 thrust attack is really strong and covers so much distance. I pretty much just bait or dodge attacks and counter with charged r2. I'm finding it superior to parry since it is much less risky, although admittedly I've never had good parry timing in Souls games. Standard r1 attacks feel under-powered.
 
This causes me pain to read. What...the...why?...huh?
You and me both, mate. >_<

Damn.
Alfred went from a calm, pious hunter, to a freaking psychopath in the throne room
. Love it.
I murdered the shit out of him when I saw that. I mean, if he had executed her because she was his sworn enemy and said "it is done" or whatever, I'd respect that. But he went so completely insane. And he's a pious fanatic too? No, I'm not letting you martyr yourself, you piece of shit. I'm destroying you here and now where your body will never be found. Go to hell! xD

Do you guys use Spotify with Bloodborne when PVPing/speedrunning/challenge running? I used to listen to some Pagan Folk or Folk Metal when speedrunning Dark Souls, I really like the style, and it was a perfect fit imo, but it just feels to weird to listen to Faun or Northland while playing Bloodborne, any recommendations of some good music that fits Bloodborne's tone?

I love the game's soundtrack, but it's cool to listen to something different every now and then since I play these games so much. Especially when PVPing, since there's no music at all.
I don't know if it's available on spotify, but something like Elend or Chaostar would fit really nicely. Extremely dark and morbid music.
For metal, how about occult-tinged stuff like Septicflesh, Behemoth, Rotting Christ, Samael, Varathron, Absu, Therion, Candlemass, Woods of Belial, Mercyful Fate, Dissection? Or something epic and wonderful like Summoning. I think all of those could fit in some way or other, though YMMV.

Personally I prefer sticking to a game's sound design, but if I had to pick music to go alongside it, it'd be those bands probably.

You'd think that after playing this game for 60 hours I'd know that nothing pretty looking should be trusted.

Warning: cursing, cause, you know, I'm an adult. I just wanted to accurately convey what I was thinking at the time.
Hahaha nice
 
Man it sucks, I got invaded for the first time when I first stepped into
Nightmare Frontier
and was pretty hyped for a showdown, but I fell off the terrain and died like a dumbass. Never had anyone else join and killed the maiden lol. Oh well. Doubt I'll really get into PvP until NG+, really looking forward to it though.
 
Is it not possible to see the names of players you co-oped with (from PS4's Players Met list)?I have co-oped with a few people recently but their names didn't appear.
 
What the fuck is up with the respawning characters in U
nseen Village
? I'm all for challenging enemies and what not but this respawning shit is some fucking bullshit. Am I missing something? Can it be stopped? I assume it's somewhat linked to does bell ringing enemies.

This horseshit is why I ran through the entire area. Fug dat noize.

You're the best. Thank you, once again :)
 
Have any of you guys seen the doll way up here before? I've been playing for like 300 hrs and I've never seen this.

Took the ss just now.
 
I'm getting ripped to pieces by the undead giant in the lower chalice dungeons. He kills me in two shots. Holy shit!

Yeah he's a pain. There are variants of him too:
uses different weapons, god help you if he's using the chains
. Best way to do it is attack after he attacks then back away.

I have once. I thought I accidentally killed her last time I was there. This happened after I gave her
the small ornament
so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
 
If you attack Eileen when she's fighting Henryk, does that make the match a fatal 3 way? Wondering if she tries to kill you both at the same time lol
 
Having trouble with M
artyr
L
ogarius
. Anyone fancy doing some co-op?

Always willing to help. What lvl? Password?

If you hit her enough times, she'll become hostile. That happen to me the first time. I hit her a few times during the fight. Afterward, while I was talking to her, I accidently shot her and she went hostile.

Yeah she goes there every now and then, but it's been fairly rare for me. The first time was well into my game, I panicked and thought I was glitched and had disappeared or something. xD
 
Oh fuck this. Just about to finally beat Amelia in NG+ (last thing I need to get the weapons trophy since I already have the unopened summons), and a visceral attack sends me beneath the floor >:(

That's the gravestone where you find the Old Hunter's Bone in the dream's real-life counterpart.

The Doll, who's modeled after Gehrman's wife, is mourning the real Gehrman, who died long ago.

The Old Hunter Bone description says it's Gehrman's apprentice, though.

If you're careful you can hit Henryk and not Eileen while they fight. I accidentally hit Eileen a couple of times with the 1h version of ludwig's holy sword. and she didn't agro on me, but I'm sure she has her limits.

Well, I mean my point was, during that fight I want her to go aggro and see if she goes after me more or Henryk.

I hit her like 3 times during the fight, and she didn't turn on me.

Ahh, thanks

I've seen it a few times, one times I walked up and she was saying a long prayer for protection for The Hunter, and success in the hunt, so that he can wake from this nightmare and return to his own world.

Nah bro, that don't make sense.

Old Hunter's Bone explicitly says it isn't Gehrman's.

I know! But I think that's a unreliable narration, because of the "Whose name is lost" and "It is said" lines. It makes so much sense that he'd be buried there. That the doll visits that particular headstone can't be a coincidence, can it?

I love the lore in this game.

Descriptions of items aren't unreliable.

Yeah, hardest boss I've fought so far yet, I wound up with the chain variant and he was one-shotting me. I had to whittle him down to half health until he started doing the attacks where the chains can hit you too and just run away while taking the other half off with cannon shots and molotovs.
 
I cant seem to unlock a specific area. When you exit the Cathedral Ward, go left through the big gate ( where a giant is waiting) then u meet two big guys and some crows and the again a Giant. There is a door in that area with a chest next to it. I cant open it but cant reach it from any other side.

Any advice?
 
Losing network connection duing gameplay and dumping you back to the main menu is bad design imo.

I was fighting a layer 3 boss solo in one of the Pte...chalice dungeons during NG+ when a message popped up saying connection to the Bloodborne server was lost. Game quit to the main menu.

Now this boss was pretty easy and I didn't mind reloading to start him again but if this happened during a tougher boss where I had them down to their last bit of health I would pretty pissed.

it appears at one point it was a short cut to the great bridge, however that shortcut was removed (IMO to help with load times).

It makes the Great Bridge WP seem more worthwhile if it at least in one build led to the Cathedral Ward.
