If I killed Amelia before I bought the DLC, am I screwed or can I just go to the alter afterwords?

You can go after you killed her, no worries.

At the cost of your health, though. Ludwig's Holy Blade offers you massive damage in two handed mode at no drawback. :/

Chikage and Blades of Mercy both have their situational benefits, and are superior PVP options, but LHB is like a freight train in PVE.

The point of the Chikage is fast, strong burst of damage then return to its normal state as fast as possible, if you stay to much on its transformed mode you are doing it wrong.

Do I have to get grabbed by the amygdala if I want to access the nightmare? I warped back to the dream and it's not listed on any of the warp gravestones

As far as I heard in this thread here is a extra tombstone unlocked afer you reach a Lamp on the DLC

 

[Fhtagn]

If anyone wants to co-op dungeons while we wait for the DLC to unlock, I'm searching for a bell with the GAF code in the first post of this thread. Summon me!

 

[gunstarhero]

So what are the STR weapons in the DLC?

 

[SRTtoZ]

Sweet ill be playing with the Gaf PW all night once it unlocks for me in a few hours. I just need to kill Vicar and am hoping to do that before it unlocks.

 

[bigol]

This dlc is so good and beautiful. Atmosphere is top notch and the hunt feels more alive than ever.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

The DLC is soo good, still exploring the first area, so I have yet to fight a real boss, although there have been already a couple of "surprises".

At the cost of your health, though. Ludwig's Holy Blade offers you massive damage in two handed mode at no drawback. :/

You should have seen how I destroyed Father G and Amelia with the Chikage on NG+.

Properly used it can do a lot of damage, it's L1 to R1 transformation attack is deadly.

So what are the STR weapons in the DLC?

There's a couple at least already in the starting area, just explore it and you'll find them.

 

[SRTtoZ]

My first playthrough was done with LHB all the way but man I have such a sweet spot for the Kirkhammer.

 

[Cheat Code]

I'm completely out of my element.

 

[Vire]

You should be able to just go to the alter anytime after you beat Vicar, then back to the hunters dream to get the item.

You can go after you killed her, no worries.

Danke!

All set.

Use the big rock near to avoid the shots and lure him to you.

 

[jmaine_ph]

For NG? like 30, 65 is end game level, everyone is kinda overleveled

Oh don't you worry.



Yea, you just purchase the access.

I'm NG++ so that might even the playing field.

 

[gunstarhero]

My first playthrough was done with LHB all the way but man I have such a sweet spot for the Kirkhammer.

I wound up beating it with LHB as well, but the KH is still my fav. Hoping the new hammer in the DLC is just as good - will absolutely make that my main in NG+ if it is.

 

[sn00zer]

Oh shit

Do i need to kill the Hunter at the end of the Eileen quest?

 

[gogosox82]

Decided to upload videos of boss fights to YT. Won't be writing names on the links for obvious reasons. Hopefully none of you are using embed videos here.

First boss
Second boss
Third boss

edit.



It is never locked away from you if you mean that. You really can't miss it though if you progress in the story.

Is this on ng or ng+? And god I hope we can get either the gear or the weapon that third boss had. Looked really bad ass.

The edgemaster? Yes. You need to kill him to get a rune from her.

I meand I need to kill her before I can get to the DLC?

They seem to be easier though. Atleast my LW grinds them to the ground.

 

[StrawberryKikwi]

on the PS store I just go to "coming soon" and it's right there for me.

Thanks. Finally found it.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Does the DLC contain any new armor sets?

 

[Persona7]

Getting suckers to roll off the edge while invading right near the bridge by the forbidden woods lamp is incredibly easy. This is what I am doing while waiting lol

 

[dmr87]

soooo good
the first boss destroyed me, tomorrow i will have my revenge
lvl 175 ng+++ here, those hunters hit like fuckin truck

Oh yes, currently a wipe fest at the first boss.

You don't have to but you won't finish her quest if you don't. If you just want her gear/weapons you could just kill her and it will appear in the shop when you go back to the dream.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Yes

Excellent!

 

[Cheat Code]

I have (early boss)

I found success dodging the delayed jump by rolling a shitload.

 

[TitusTroy]

so the DLC unlocks at midnight (EST)?

 

[gogosox82]

NG and as far as I know you get the gear. Got only the attire set but not the weapon yet.

Thanks. Really wishing I hadn't taken my skill build to ng+ now. That set would've been perfect for her.

 

[gunstarhero]

There's a couple at least already in the starting area, just explore it and you'll find them.

Thanks! So ready for this - just hoping FG doesn't give me as much trouble in NG+ as he did in NG 😰

 

[OrbitalBeard]

To those playing the DLC, do all the new areas connect to each other organically like the locations in and around Yharman do in the main game?

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Tried it a little bit and damn it's awesome. These new enemies, I'm REALLY loving them. Fighting seems much more intense and challenging and in one of the few early encounters quite chaotic which was much much more intriguing than the usual encounters of the base game.

And I haven't seen much but the name of the new location coupled with the headstone and that item description already points at some interesting stuff about the lore.

Only played until the first shortcut cause as I said I first need to finish my AC:S playthrough so I can dive completely into DLC. So for now, I'm off to that.

 

[aly]

I've been struggling in the DLC, but at least it's fun. Right after first Boss:

Spoiler

Put on some Church armor as a chest piece for new dialogue before talking to Ludwig. It's really cool.

 

[Facism]

Use the big rock near to avoid the shots and lure him to you.

Slapped him with numbing mist and then an old friend turned up.

What a fight

 

[twozerotwo]

I think I'm about level 30.

NO. FUCKS. GIVEN.

3 more hours.

 

[GIANKRATOS]

Played till the 2nd lantern, i'm really loving this dlc so far

 

[BumRush]

Currently working my way through Defiled for the platinum...but it's a chore. Should I take a breather for the DLC

Also, I'm sure it's already been said, but reviews are starting to come out. IGN gave it an

8.0, praising it but saying it didn't introduce 'new ideas'. Who wants new ideas? We just want more bloodborne!

 

[the black pearl]

What time is this available for people living in pacific time zone?

 

[vehn]

How are people playing early?

 

[Arttemis]

To import the complete version, get the digital complete edition, or just buy the DLC and continue using the disc. I'd much rather do either of the first two.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

How are people playing early?

Unlocked in EU already.

 

[Robot Pants]

Can't WAIT! For those that have played, does it seem like it's the Artorias DLC for Bloodborne? Quality wise?

 

[HORRORSHØW]

man, i want to jump into the DLC right away, but also want to roll an arc build for the moonlight sword
