Too bad the game loops a smaller section of the track in-game, but yeah I think everyone agrees this is the most memorable piece of music in all the game.

When are poison knives available for purchase? I'm on my way to the Cathedral Ward(already spoke to Eileen.

You need Cosmic Eye Watcher Badge, which you can only access in Upper Cathedral, which you can only access by finding Upper Cathedral Key in Yahargul Unseen Village proper-story-progression version which you can only access after defeating the boss in Byrgenwyth.
So, kinda end game.
How do you deal with sometimes making no actual progress lol in a couple hours of play?
Just got to Old Yharnam (I couldn't get past anything in Cathedral Ward without a hunter's badge). Took me forever to get to the guy with the giant machine gun and died pretty quickly. I take it thats not the way to go but I've lost 13k blood echos (cant find them either) and I must be missing a shortcut to get back there quickly. Sigh

There's actually a very fast method to get to him. Once you get to the spot where he said stuff like "You're a skilled hunter" yada yada yada, you're going right down the stairs and then you stand behind broken wall, right? If you continue on you find that large hooded enemy with Antidote nearby, but don't go there. Instead, just jump/roll to the right on the opening on the walls (there's a ladder there but you won't have time using it with him shooting at you) and make a mad dash towards the stairs that lead to him, ignoring the mad hunter. It is much faster.
And protip, make a fast dash towards him as soon as you finish climbing the stairs (don't forget to fast climb) and quickly slash him multiple times to force him to fall. Axe long form is *fabulous* for this.
I have been co-op-ing some chalice dungeons, and whenever I go in I have a MINISCULE amount of health, I get 1-shot.
Is it supposed to be like this?
Edit: Just went into a dungeon where the first mob we encountered was one of the quick ladies and she one-shot us both in the same swing. Is my health based on the hosts' health?

Yassss, finally got the Hunter set
Also got the Kirkhammer(+1), Saw Blade(+1), and Saw Spear. I feel like I can kick some ass now. Parrying and doing a visceral attack is so damn satisfying. Done for tonight, then off to fight Father G later tomorrow or something.
This is the farthest I've been(and most fun I've had) in the two Souls games I've played (DeS/DrkS1).

Just started old yarnham and I seem to have come to a dead end.. I got past a massive room and back out into the open, climbed a stairway and revealed a shortcut, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to go...
All the messages around here are cryptic and unhelpful.
EDIT: Oh wait there's a door way right before the shortcut.. I missed that!

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
question, i have an icon on my screen, its orange and shows a hand and there is an up arrow. What does this mean?
Check the blood gems you have in your equipped weapon. One of them might have an active buff that works when you kill an enemy or something.
Found this cool pixel art gif.
Probably an effect from one of your blood gems equipped to your weapon.

Nope, The First Hunter is the best track.

This is insanity. The One Reborn's track is sublime as well as the Darkbeast track.
I'm staying at 160 and I've been in PvP and coop all night. In fact I just helped someone achieve the plat by cooping the Ihyll dungeon. BLB got slaughtered.
You're right. Amygdala has a very good soundtrack. And as I said before, One reborn is just fantastic.
This though, is simply amazing. Truly glorious track. I scoff at anyone who would dare say this game doesn't have a good soundtrack. From knocked it out of the park. I find nearly every track to be great to amazing.

After BB, I hope From kicks Sakuraba to the curb.
Any random Bloodborne track destroys anything he's produced for the series. Just so imposing yet so very lush and delicate at the same time.
The whole soundtrack is just otherworldly, and a huge leap for Souls. I won't accept blaring, generic choirs and repetitive timpani from this series anymore.

The game's been out for over a month.

To be fair, there were three composers this time around, but yes, a new bar has been set. I was disappointed with vanilla Dark souls 2 music but Bloodborne picked up the slack and then some.
So? Not everyone's playing it at the same pace. Most wait at least a year, and often in threads that mention open spoilers.

I mean, listen to the

You know what's up. Very good.
It's even better with the boss's "ARHGHBLBLGHBL HEEEEE" every time he uses one of his spells haha
Cheers fella. I didn't do a lot of NPC Interactions and I'm not doing a NG+ so I think I'm ready for the end now. Terrific experience. It's amazing how how low you feel at the beginning, but as you feel your way into it, that changes, and continues to change....Huelgy rewarding. A big highlight of the new gen without a doubt!

Went from 100 to 120 to max out my Bloodtinge but kinda regretted it. I had the most fun and the most traffic at 100. One of the reasons I am making a new build now. I think the meta might actually settle below 100. edit: also did the dungeons at that level. You can do them at much lower levels actually.
Also people asking for good weapons against the tough Defiled bosses... Threaded Cane is the best. Burial Balde rocks as well.
It's really a shame that most of my boss fights take like 2-3 minutes, whether I kill them or the other way around. It's only when I listen to these songs isolated that I really appreciate them.
Ebrietas, Amygdala, First Hunter, and the tracks of the first 3-4 bosses or so stood out the most to me while I was actually playing. Another track that I really came to like recently is the one used for Chalice bosses. It's a mix of God of War and Shadow of the Colossus. Really damn good.

Really good track as well. Paarl is an interesting fight. There is a strange somber feeling when he looses his electricity. In a way, he reminds me of Sif.
I love that sound.
I feel like the sound quality itself is massively improved. Compare the choir in the
Ebrietas
I also love the use of environmental music in a few specific areas. In most games, environmental music is normal, and silence is used to highlight tense moments of unease. In Bloodborne, silence becomes natural and peaceful as a contrast to the frenetic boss fights, so the moment you start hearing music creeping in with no sign of a boss... It feels really sinister.

Boss names arent spoilers.
Well, most of the time they aren't. I'd say

Like Toxi mentioned, sometimes they can be. Having

Agreed. Most obnoxious boss in the game, with absurdly fast attacks, a cramped arena full of pillars that block your vision and movement, projectiles that ignore said terrain because fuck you, and a second bullshit phase where dodging becomes a complete crapshoot.
Attack in very deliberate waves. Look for an opportune time and place where the tiny spiders thin out, run right at Rom and hack away at its body 3-4 times and then roll away. The attack where meteors come from the ground has a pretty obvious animation so just get out of its AoE.
A lot of people reportedly have trouble with the meteors that come from the sky but I've pretty much never gotten hit by them. May be dumb luck (Including the Chalice Rom I beat it twice solo, and multiple times co-op with other players) but as long as I'm not letting off the run button, they always hit right behind me. I noticed that when I'm RIGHT next to ROM, the meteors also miss/don't hurt me. Rom's been the most benign boss in the game for me. It's the small dive bombing spiders that you really have to mind, which is remedied by never staying in one place for more than a few seconds.

So, do i farm BE from cleaning nightmare mensis (to buy all weapons and set items) or do i go to NG+ for BE farming?
As you build up the beast meter by hitting foes, your attacks deal more damage. Strong attacks or attacks that hit multiple foes tend to raise the meter a lot.
It might not seem like much with how hard it is to build up the meter significantly, but it can be useful.
Thanks man. Prey slaughtered
Not so much in souls games but in others, boss names can spoil some bits of the story (e.g. a former friendly npc). Since the story in souls/bb is "hidden" away that good, boss names don't really tell you anything. (micolash? that's my Hungarian neighbor)
