Damn, after testing it myself , you can really see the difference in stamina regen with and without the hand lantern. Well, at least i played the whole game in "harder mode" lol. Don't see a difference with secondary weapons on/off

I wonder if this is actually a bug. This behavior isn't in the item description so I'd think it'd be a bit unfair that the game wouldn't even let you know.
 
Quick end game advice guys:

1. Does NG+ start as soon as I kill Gehrman/moon presence?
2. I want to get all 3 endings in one sitting. Is there a particular order in which to do them in for best results?
3. When should I backup my save to achieve them? Will the point of no return be pretty obvious?
4. Do all stats, equipment and items carry over to NG+?

Thanks
 
If you're starting in Bloodborne and would like a really valuable tip, buy the Hand Lantern

1. Yes
2. It's all up to what you want to see first
3. There will be a significant change to a certain familiar area. This would be a good time to set your backup.
4. Stats, equipment, and items carry over. Certain key items do not, however.

Cheers dude.

Also
if I use the 3 umbilical cords, defeat Gehrman, but then get my ass kicked by moon presence will it checkpoint me just before that fight so I don't have to kill Gehrman again?
 
Where should I go now? I have slain BSB (in 3rd try.. yeah proud of it that was tough lol). Then I encountered this yao ming sized dude carrying a sack and almost one shotted me with a swing of his sack. Got kicked and I was brought against my will to some yarma? yarghul? village. Walking around.. WAlking around.. Then running around, some a long tunnel that leads to a WIDE open space. THen BAM there is this boss fight (the electric one) that was triggered. Is going up against that boss my best option or there is a better way?

That boss
is completely optional and you can come back and fight it later if you wish. I killed it on my first visit and didn't find it too hard. You will return here again though but bear in mind the area will be even harder.

No, there is a lamp too.
Look around some more. You can reach the lamp without a single enemy encounter.
 
I hope that whenever BB gets DLC, it adds both a proper Beast mode and some sort of opposite Kin mode that turns you into
a slimy servant of the Great Ones with power increasing with insight.

Just have Kin mode scale with arcane and Beast mode scale with bloodtinge.
 
Well I'm done until DLC. Beat the game last Friday. Screwed myself out of an ending so I had to play through again. Did so on NG+ but did infinite echo glitch to get to level 300 or so. Did boss rush basically. Beat it again last night.

My first "souls" game ever and I loved it. But part of the reason is the aesthetic. I don't plan on playing Demon or Dark souls.
 
Martyr Logarius, I fucking hate this guy, been trying to get through this castle for literally 4 hour now, and I get so close to killing him each time. Can we all agree that an enemy flying in the air (causing you to lock off him) in a game that doesn't properly let you look 'up' is bad design?

Roll toward him and profit?

No. It's easy to avoid and you just re lock on when he's back on the ground.
 
I'm having a lot of trouble fighting the Blood-starved Beast and I'm wondering if my stats need an upgrade.
I'm sure that this is a question I can find info on elsewhere, but Neogaf is the only gaming related website I can access at work (that I frequent anyway) so I'm asking here.

Arcane and Bloodtinge, what exactly do they relate to?
The other stats are pretty self-explanatory, but would upgrading my endurance and health be the way to go, or should I concentrate on the other ones?

Other than being underpowered, I have read that I need to use blunderbuss and parry, as well as fire paper and/or molotovs to weaken the boss, but I cannot kill him once he reaches phase 2 and 3. He just moves so much faster and does tremendous damage with his poison.

Parry when he dives you.
 
Maybe little off-topic so sorry but:
For those who are interested just noticed that Playstation Gear store now has official Bloodborne merchandise up!
Ordering a shirt for myself.

Arcane relates to magic
Bloodtinge relates to Gun damage.

Summon Alfred for help, if you talked to him.Make sure to bring antidotes ofcourse. I didn't try to parry him after first phase and just went ham with a fire sword when he went level 3.
 
One thing really pissing me off is playing the game during the day. I have to squint to play constantly which im sure is doing my eye sight no good. Alternative is to equip the torch and agrro the world :(
 
No. It's easy to avoid and you just re lock on when he's back on the ground.

I think his point is he goes off screen and you can't see when he'll attack you.

For dealing with that particular move you just have to get used to the timing and roll accordingly or roll like crazy and hope for the best, I guess.
 
I keep seeing so many complaints about
Logarius
, even though he's super susceptible to parries. It took me like 5 tries to get the trick down I'll admit. The boss I had the most trouble with in the game was
Amelia
, and that was mostly because of the annoying healing.
 
I think that's about it over there, yes! The only thing you have left is the Nightmare's boss and the last boss, but just in case you missed a few (oh believe me, it might be a FEW) optional areas, yeah, make a duplicate save!

you can do the Chalice dungeons even in NG+, BUT make sure you get the Red Jelly in the Library before you finish the game! It's in a chest next to the exit IIRC, you'll need that to create the very last Chalice

how many umbilical cords do you have so far?

you don't need to upload your save yet

after mergo's wet nurse the final boss opens up, at that point you can upload your save, get as many of the endings as you want, and then either do the chalice stuff for trophies or go into ng+ and do the chalice stuff later

Perfect, that's what I needed to know. I was concerned the
nightmare boss was the final boss. But it sounds like I can explore/finish up the nightmare w/o messing anything up

To answer your question, I have 3 umbilical cords. I got really lucky and did the whore's plotline correctly -- mostly because I totally missed the clinic's plotline (never talked to her, so never opened up the ability to send people to her).

I basically chose to check for missables at a really good point, and got to play blind for 90% of the game w/o penalty.

Thanks!

Got him on my 2nd try, thankfully. Should have been first, really. Though i'll admit I got a bit lucky - we killed each other at the same time (which counts).
 
I found Mr. Garius to be way easier than most people. Maybe 5 tries total? Then again I'm a bad judge of these things. The Vicar took me 38 tries. Yes, I counted.

Also all the official merch is kinda assy. Need cooler designs.

Are we talking about the attack where he vertically flies up before coming down on you? That is so easy to roll...

Didn't even know he could be parried. Guess it makes sense.
 
Man Abhorrent Beast is beating my ass more than I feel like it should. Doesn't seem to have too many different attacks and I do fine until the last phase where it just mauls me.

I think the worst part is that I don't get many chances to stab myself.
 
Haven't been feeling well enough to play games this past week but I sketched my hunter a bit.

It looks a bit off but eh. :P I'll see if I can muster up the strength to play some more today.

Think it's only possible in phase 2 if you backstab him during phase 2 transition. Causes his phase 2 to be so much easier.
