Just finished my third playthrough, chose the "bad" ending, and got the platinum! So the question is: Now what? I don't think I'm ready to put the game down yet. I was thinking of maybe messing around with co-op or pvp (I suck at pvp though and don't really enjoy it, so probably not too much of that). Still have a few chalice dungeons I could check out I guess. Then there's always challenge runs. I finished Dark Souls at SL1 but don't know if I want to put myself through a BL4 run in Bloodborne. Anyone have suggestions?

I've done BSB and CB, but Nightmare Frontier and Cainhurst no.. Are they both "pre Unseen Village"?

You can access them any time provided you have access to Forbidden Woods and for Cainhurst you have defeated Witches of Hemwick, but generally speaking it is before unseen Village the mandatory one, not the optional one (you can visit the village in two ways to get a unique before and after view of the place)

So, what are some good places to farm souls? I lost a lot of blood vials and bullets. Late game, so I think I can go anywhere.

I just discovered that people likes to suicide in front of the

NG+? Anyways, this is true to NG but especially NG+

For low risk area, Lecture Hall's 1st floor is good. Bonus points that you can farm bullets too since the students very frequently drop bullets.
For somehow higher risk area but still very easy, nothing beats running around Mergo's last areas beating down the pigs and the Shadows of Yharnams.
For comparably high risk area, Chalice Dungeon's deeper floors is a good spot.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Still in NG. Will try Mergo, even though the enemies there are pretty strong. I don't feel that the students give enough blood, though you are right about the bullets.

It's quite easy since the Samurai Yharnams are very easy to parry and the Candle/Magic Yharnams are not difficult to put down once their Samurai Bros are down.

And you can bait the pigs towards direction for them to fight each other, lol. You can easily score to the tune of 60.000 in one run in here, with Moon Runes of course.

If you main/can use Chikage, the process can be even faster since you can just kill yourself to respawn all the dudes and then head back to collect your Echoes and rekill all the dudes etc etc etc.

I was going to go with it but decided to switch to arcane. Kinda regret that now.

I made this as a tribute for the Watchdog! Loved that boss! Inspired by Metal, Super Meat Boy replay and PeTA/Djura! Hope you like it! New Song too!!!

Here some Gif teaser :

Lol. I love how you tied the Watchdog with Djura.

I'm standing right in front of the door for this boss, with my beckoning bell ringing. After seeing these gifs, I dun wanna do it anymore.

It's a hard boss, but it's kind of one of those ones where you can be patient on and not one that requires extremely fast reflexes.

No, it's not a myth. He does appear: he sells the same stuff as the Bath Vendor but with over-inflated prices.

Those prices look similar to what bath messengers in Chalice dungeons will sell for. I am guessing having him "unlocked" allows a chance for a shop to appear in places they normally wouldn't through him.

Not a fan of this theory myself.

More evidence points to Moon Presence being the great one of the Hunter's Dream if you figure out how the umbilical cords work and realize that Nightmare Menesis is basically a nearly 1:1 parallel to the Hunter's Dream.

Explore the Cathedral Ward. To progress the story you need to best the boss of Grand Cathedral. If you don't want to buy the Emblem to the Center Plaza, you can access the Grand Cathedral in a roundabout way through the Healing Church Workshop, which you can access now since you beat BSB.

Unfortunately I haven't beaten him yet. I'll beat him for sure though but I wanna progress so I may come back when I'm stronger. Thanks for the tip!

To access the boss area without beating BSB you need to purchase that 10.000 key from the shop to open the large gate at the end of the winding stairs at the eastern part, beyond the graveyard with a Giant on it

Just... be careful about some important side stuff that can get cut off if you proceed too far (well only one that is immediately near).

The real twist is that there is no central most powerful being present in the story (other than maybe Elbrietas, which is treated as a side event)... at least not until you take out other Great Ones and become a Great One yourself. Moon Presence is less about its grandness and more about realizing that it is actually about the human figures that contacted it with the Umbilical Cord.

Oh shit. I had 15,000 and I spend it on blood vial. And I used then all fighting this bitch. Fuck.

Did you try summoning Alfred for that fight? He can take the heat off you and give you time to recover health and cure the poison.

Makes the whole thing kind of mundane, isn't it, hahaha.

But it's a nice interpretation that I haven't considered yet.

Oh shit. I had 15,000 and I spend it on blood vial. And I used then all fighting this bitch. Fuck.

10.000 is not really a big deal to accrue even at that point of the game . The giants give around 700 for each kill and a run around cleaning stuff on the Old Yharnam area can give you a good 6000-7000-ish echoes alone, so it's not really that long to get what you need

And yes, try summoning Alfred on the summoning circle on the right side of the bridge that leads you towards the BSB area. He may disrupt your stun-visceral but for the most part to have a distraction during BSB fight is a major, major help (and don't forget to wear Black Church set!)

Fight it a couple of times to warm up and then summon him. You'll get insight for the victory so it wouldn't matter. In fact you'll be swimming in insight with time.

If you're still having difficulties later on, I can help you with Coop. But only around 1-1.5 hours from now.

Oh and consume all those madman's knowledge, it's there for you to swallow

There *are* certain sections that disallow Coop though/require certain conditions, and I am not sure Grand Cathedral's post Rom is allowed, hmmm.

Already beat the one at Byrgenwerth. The one at the Grand Cathedral is the one causing me nightmares. After giving up yesterday I tried using the cheese method but it looks like they patched it out.

I'll be free to play in like 6 hours or so.

I didn't even know what was going on when I stumbled across the fight. I thought I got invaded randomly or something. It was only until the end I realized it was Eileen fighting some dude and I started helping. He had a sliver of health left when he killed her, and then he killed me and when I came back he had full health and just destroyed me immediately.

You get 12 poison knives for free at the area towards Arianna's--the whore--location. Visceral him at the beginning and then just chuck those knives at him and watch his health rapidly dwindle like crazy. Just run around the area away from him while the poison takes effect.
