You can do it in NG as well. There's a dev message on the ground somewhere saying "Ring the bell if you need assistance." If you ring the bell while standing near it, you'll summon the NPC.

Well for one they should have made soo you really had the best it 3 times and not chest like most ppl did. :/
DS2 has also really high percentage (higher than BB) on platinum and that requires you to go halfway through NG++. Using save back ups to get all three endings only make getting the platinum faster.
Well this is very build specific tactic since I don't think you can kill him with blunderbuss or any non upgraded gun for that matter.

Guys, Castle Cainhurst or Nightmare Mensis. Which boss first? I've scoured all of Cainhurst for items etc etc, and got right to the top of the roof when the lure of spending 70k blobs stopped me from entering the boss scrap. Mensis i've only secured the initial 2 lamps. im lvl 79 btw.
The low range makes it kinda a pain to use in PvE.
It sucks baaaaad. Low range, shitty scaling, shitty moveset. Only thing cool is it's R2, but you're rarely ever going to land it.
Well, it's a challenging but not a very complicated plat.. Don't have to go out of your way on an epic farming tour to collect or upgrade hundreds of items like in the previous games.
Also, the Souls crowd tends to be a bit more hardcore than in your average game.
So the "the reason there are so few weapons is because they're all great" argument doesn't entirely hold up.
I'm dinking around trying to get summoned for the hell of it, but for some reason every time I ring my small bell, a minute later I get disconnected from network and booted to main menu. Normally I have no trouble getting summoned.
Shut down the game completely, restart it.
It's kinda the exception to the rule, though I don't think it's too awful. You can still do a Stake Driver playthrough without being crippled.
Everything else I've tried out is great. Even the weapons that don't entirely work (Logarius Wheel's two-handed L2 is so goddamn pointless) are still useful in different ways.

So, yesterday me and two buddy's went to a multiplex cinema to play some ps4 on the big screen.
After some Driveclub / CoD they asked me to show them some Bloodbourne. I load my save game at the frontier mensis and see that i have zero bloodviles since i consumed them all fighting the boss for the first time.
My friends tell me to just go for it and show the boss fight. I use the shortcut and start the fight. My field of vision full with Bloodbourne madness FUCKING LOUD 5.1 audio and i fight "the one" without any bloodviles at my disposal! What a rush.
Within the first ten seconds i get hit, halving my hp right at the beginning.
I was getting pumped - i back up... and play with a cool head. The fight goes on for a good 10 min. and after so many "close to being hit" moments , the boss rips his arms out and swings them at me! My friends are screaming now. But i prevail - i killed that son of a bitch without using a single blood vial - my friends don't understand why i jump of my seat and scream "fuck yeah!".
What a moment.
Picture doesn't do the size of the screen justice - it was fucking big.

To me it seems like a couple of weapons are so good it feels pointless to use others outside of "just because". To wit, Hunter's Axe and Blade of Mercy. Nothing else is really in the same league, IMO.

Woo just finished the game, level 75.
It was... not as hard as I was hoping. I was stuck on
for a full day, but nothing else put up too much of a fight. I actually thought
was one of the best boss battles in the game, which is surprising since he's optional. One of the hardest bosses as well.
All in all, a fantastic game. Loved the atmosphere, music, combat, enemies, setting. So much more horrific and terrifying that the Souls games. Some truly fantastic level design as well. I do feel like there should have been at least one harder area at the end of the game because it all came to a close rather abruptly, but at least there were no real dud areas for me. All in all, my series ranking would be Dark Souls > Bloodborne > Demon's > Dark Souls 2.
Now, time to get cracking on those chalice dungeons. I've barely scratched the surface there.

stay close and do quick hit and roll sides tactics, he is super easy to parry and visceral attacks are effective. When he starts charging up you have to stand behind him and hit the living shit out of him to make him vulnerable to parry attacks (and to any stagger i think). If he sticks his sword in the ground you can break it by regular attacks or malatoves

I like the movesets for nearly all of the weapons. That's reason enough to use them for me. And they can pretty much all dish out plenty of damage with the right gem setup.

Wow that's awesome. Must have been quite the rush.
I'm finding the co-op system super frustrating. I've found the first two bosses, and am struggling so I tried the beckoning bell. So far I've burned 3 insight on matchmaking and am yet to connect to anyone and then the game boots me back to the menu, meaning I lose the insight. Fucking hell this is annoying. Is there any way around this?

Yes. Learn to beat bosses on your own.

No repercussions for switching, if you want to change covenants you just change the last (oath) rune.

Hey fuck you M
L
, actually no, fuck you Miyazaki, hey I got an idea, how about when you remove shields and replace it with a parry system players are forced to use to counter attacks, WHY DON'T YOU FUCKING MAKE IT WORK INSTEAD OF RANDOMLY MISSING 50% OF THE TIME YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE.
Also why the fuck is the parry system connected to a consumable for fuck's sakes, I mean okay healing items are consumable, whatever. But seriously, making the damage counter item a consumable? FUCK YOU.
I'm going to have to start save scumming and copying my save to a USB before attempting a boss so I can just copy it back when I've burned through my stores of items trying to kill it because I don't have time to endlessly farm for your stupid consumable shit while trying to kill your bullshit boss so fuck you Miyazaki.

Yep my thoughts exactly. Died once trying to fight the
hunter guy,
beasts and the gunfire.
hit by the gun.
Really starting to get into this game now, it's so fucking good. Wandering around a level for an hour before finding the shortcut that brings you back to the start and saying to yourself "ooooohhhhh this is where I am" is for me one of the most satisfying things in gaming.
I found luring the beasts to sheltered locations works best using pebbles and throwing knives, just have to take your time each time you restart this location. This location was the worst non-boss for me, by far highest death count, simply because I was too stupid and wanted to explore each and every corner.
This is so true, 2nd best feeling in the game after defeating a boss you were stuck on for a while.
You can't help that early in the game because you can get small resonant bell only after you have 10 insight. No way to acquire that much before beating Father G.
Ah fuck me, I wanted to leave the boss of Nightmare Frontier alone with my alt char so I would have that place for invasions but I realized I'm gonna miss Loran's chalice if I do that (thus also the later Ptumeru chalices).
Seriously, fuck having to redo Chalices on second chars...
Seriously, fuck having to redo Chalices on second chars...
Guy, I need help.
Where can I get some Ritual Blood (2)? I have 4, but I need 6 for Central Pthumerian Chalice. I tried going back and clearing the 3 layers of Pthumerian chalice again, but I got nothing.
Help
Sorry for my ignorance but, can't you buy it?
Well, I just started NG+ (I decided to clear the Dungeons after beating the game, so a lot of stuff are not unlocked in the shops yet...
Somebody needs vacation?
Btw, it's completely legit to kill ML without parrying.

And here I was praising the sun that it wasn't like Dark Souls 2 parrying which the timing didn't make sense most of the time.
Also, some attacks it is just simply better to dodge and attack if the enemy is being aggressive and fast.
I'm probably still gonna try to parry attacks like that because I'm a parry addict
Don't know about PvE, but it's really good for PvP.

Posting after dying is truly never a good idea
But it feels good to rage after being frustrated at a boss for a few hours
I'll probably try a different approach tomorrow, parrying is so unreliable in this game, ML isn't the only boss I had trouble when trying to do it "the right way" instead of cheesing and it's stupid because they took away shields and replaced them with this.
KittenMaster

They did parrying right in this game. There are attacks asking to be parried, but also attacks where you must be on your feet instead.
A parry happens if you manage to land a bullet when an enemy attack's damage frames. Your pistol has some start up frames so there's still a bit of timing involved but the way parrying works is actually pretty logical and it's just a matter of knowing what attacks your enemy will use.
Also, you can parry from a distance. This makes it harder to reposte but it helps make up for lack of shield. You can also sometimes trade hit but still get the reposte, which will restore the damage you've taken.

My bad, forgot that you get the slb in the insight shop.
