Didn't realize that you have to come close to him when he lifts the sword during his second phase. That cost me at least 5 attempts...

You have to kill an NPC to get it, so you should be fine.

No way, that meteor storm is visceral city. You can get multiple if they are close enough when summoning.

Haven't bought this yet but I was wondering, is there anything you can miss? Like the Lord's Blade set in Dark Souls or any other optional bosses/items?

Realized how hard this game was when starting a new bloodtinge character , keep getting owned by BSB tonight , maybe I need to level up more ? The running out of bullets and vials again sucks though

If so, you might be fucked then, did he drop a key with his weapon?

There's still the risk of getting hit after the visceral.

Sorry but I gotta go have dinner with my family.

Most disturbing area EVER

 

[Tingle]

People talking about multiplayer so much, I wonder if I have been missing out playing exclusively on Offline mode for both main game and the DLC.

Not really. If you don't do co-op, you basically can't be invaded anyway. And co-op makes most things too easy anyway.

I do a lot of multiplayer, but its certainly not a core part of the experience to me. In Souls it was a lot more important when you could be invaded anywhere at any time, and it really added to the tension. In Bloodborne it feels like an afterthought, which is a shame because the new combat system probably lends itself better to PvP, at least to me.

Dropped the bow and a key but not the key that opens the underground celler I'm fucked ):

Jesus. Fuck these guys. :/

I hope you can beat it yourself. Gotta run.

Yeah for sure. The only area that comes close to me in creepiness factor is Tower of Latria from Demon's Souls.

Yeah, you might be fucked then, I don't think you can stop the Hunter

Camera is awful up close with

Don't lock on to him, makes the camera issues way less common.

 

[sweetvar26]

Question GAF, this game is available on Amazon for $20. I can pick this up and play sometime mid next year considering the huge back log I have at the moment, the games that I have already purchased and sitting at my desk or I just wait for a GOTY with the DLC sometime next year and then purchase that.

Suggestions?

Anyone know where the crystal lizard is in Fishing Hamlet? I've made it past that area into the next part but haven't seen one. I know he drops a chunk and I need it.

A key for the rest of the cells

 

[deoee]

Yeah for sure. The only area that comes close to me in creepiness factor is Tower of Latria from Demon's Souls.

I found the Unseen Village to be unsettling too but only because of the lighting and statues crawling everywhere.

This here is on another level... People talking crazy shit, those worm like enemies. UGH

 

[Floody]

A key for the rest of the cells

Maybe the key is where that key normally is, but yeah, you are probably fucked.

You need to drop off the walkway into a balcony. He'll run off through a hole in the floor where there's a lot of flammable containers and a dude throwing grenades.

I guess I have to redo it later man it really sucks it wasn't my intention I put the controller down and it did its thing ):

Finally got someone and maaaaaan bosses are like 100x easier in co-op since they're always putting their back to someone who can run up and get free hits in. It's sort of unfair but I'll take it for

Na i get to the final phase 90% of the time now, if i don't die to some dodgy bullshit in phase 1 . But i seriously need to go on a normal save and just spend some time figuring out when to hit him in phase 2.


Edit: who is speaking in the last cutscene?

 

[silva1991]

I have like 40 arcane and my moonlight swrord doesn't feel powerfull! it's weaker than my tontirus. maybe I just need to put 3 arcane gems?

That phase 2 is the easier part of the fight atleast on normal runs. I have much easier time reading the moves and dodging and then there is the part

Spoiler

where he raises his sword, causes the small AoE and does the big explosion where you get so many free hits in its ridiculous.

Ludwig's second phase has to be my favourite music of this gen thus far.

Yup try doing that, i've got 40 arc too and the arcane attacks feel weak

So is the dlc worth it? Also starting from a new game, can I just do the dlc with my level up to that point when I get to Amelia, or is it better to do the dlc a bit later when I've leveled up a bit more further in the main game?

Bloodborne has the best soundtrack of this gen

Personal opinion but the DLC would be ridicilously hard if I went right after Amelia. 60 is the recommended level and I started to dive into it with level 70 or so and it was still challenging.

As for worth it: it's more of the same in the end (which is good imo). Extra weapons are pretty neat especially if you play strenght character. I do wish it was a tad bit longer but I don't regret the purchase at all.
