Ahhh the thrill of the hunt. Feels like I'm diving into Bloodborne for the first time again. New weapons, new Hunter tools, new enemies, new bosses new locations. The tension building up the further you get into the maze-like levels as your Blood Echoes stack. Loving every second of it so far.

Fake Edit: And first boss just wrecked my shit. Got to his second stage and holy... No wonder there's all these bodies and blood all over the place. Guy's a savage. Music's on point too.

Farming Blood Chunks

man, i forgot how dope bloodborne was.

where can i farm chunks?

Here's a video I just made showing what ive been doing for the past hour. Its the fastest way unless you have a million insight. I don't get why they made chunks 30 insight each when the twin stones are 2. Grr.

Managed to get the first boss down to 2/3rds of its life and then it knocked me down to the ground and fucked me up when I stood up. I'm getting the hang of these attacks but it's punishing as heck.

Really depends on how your stats are distributed if you are overleveled or not. If that level means you have ton of Vit 40-50 then maybe yeah. But you will get to part where it will get harder.

I think my vitality is around 55-60 lol but yeah I hope it gets a little harder if not I am still enjoying the new locations and bosses

Yeah with that Vitality you can tank almost anything. I have Vit at 30 and it feels just enough as in nothing can kill you in one combo or hit but enemies still deal enough damage to almost kill me.

HOLY SHIT.

"You were at my side all along."

What an amazing moment.

 

[zma1013]

So I decided to start playing the DLC anyways, I have a question for surround sound folks, does this game use the subwoofer at all? Seems like it would but doesn't seem like it's working. Works for my movies and other games.

 

[cheesekao]

Bloody hell, that final boss. This isn't ninja Gaiden From.

 

[boredandlazy]

People deliberately keep their insight low? I've just left it alone most of the time, so it's always been 90+.

I still get recked in the dungeons! Some of those guys hit hard and multiple times.

I don't really want low frenzy resist and if I have 30 I buy a chunk since can't have too much of those.

Not on NG+3, I've got 32 and almost every enemy can kill me in one combo, and the big ones can kill me in one attack if it catches me mid-dodge D:

I love the the Moonlight Sword so much. I show it off on co-op whenever I get the opportunity.

The final boss is possibly the best

From's ever done

Haven't beaten it yet but it's crazy as fuck.

When he goes nuts at low health I have no idea when I can even get close Used maybe 10 vials and maybe got like 3 hits in lol

You're at the end? Dammit, I'm falling far behind

Im only at -
oh
this could be it, lol

 

[myco666]

Shit
Really?

Not really but when there is possibility to get frenzy you really don't want that high amount of insight. Just buy some chunks or papers.

Yea. He's like the chalice sickle madman on steroids.

Basically yeah haha. Fight is super cool.

Not on NG+3, I've got 32 and almost every enemy can kill me in one combo, and the big ones can kill me in one attack if it catches me mid-dodge D:

That doesn't sound fun. You might want to get it even up to 50.

Anybody mind explaining (first boss spoiler):

What Ludwig means by, "You were at my side all this time."?

Yeah I'm thinking of going back to the main game and killing a couple of bosses for the echoes :/

Yes, Frenzy is a bitch, fuck us.

You're either on NG, or extremely high level, or an extremely focused OP build, cuz there is no way u can say even the first boss is easy on NG+. His health pool alone is ridiculous, and pretty much every single attack of his takes close to half my health or more, and I have 1457 HP and am lvl 175...

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Omg the third boss is going to be amazing on Waste of skin, fucking awesome
Edit: best boss of bloodborne for me

Uhm
I'm only on NG. But souls is silly easy.

I do not find games (single player, MP is a diff situation since someone in the world has to be better!) hard.

 

[Craydays]

Guys, can someone explain how NPC hunters feature works? How can I unlock and summon them? How long they will stay? Is it legit to say that NPC hunters kind of simulate co-op game and make hunt easier (if needed).

Thanks.

 

[MilkBeard]

Unlocked the second shortcut. Finally making progress.

 

[Edzi]

How do I get back into the nightmare? I assumed it'd be the fourth tombstone in the hunter's dream, but that doesn't work.

Equip the rune after talking to buckethead. Now, go near a boss, some of them will have a summoning circle for the NPCs. Also, if you ring the normal coop bell, the NPC will automatically be summoned if it is available to summon.
As for how they help, well, they do make it easier. They usually end up dying during the boss fight after a few minutes. But in most cases, it was long enough to figure out what to do to take down the boss.

Two questions:

1) is it ready to be downloaded in Europe already?

2) what's the reccomended level for this?

There's a new tombstone. It's right across the last chalice tombstone up top.

Tombstone on otherside of the house. Place where doll hangs around sometimes.

I never said it was hard, but saying its silly easy is just being hyperbolic. Even dying 5 times in 3 hours makes a game not "easy". Dying 0 times would mean easy.

And even then, if u cant beat it while eating snacks and talking on the phone at the same time, its still not easy.

I dunno. I personally find it easy. Is it hard compared to other games? Yes. Is it hard? No.

Hard is subjective

Yeah, he's destroying me. Fuck, I wonder if this DLC is really meant for NG endgame when you're super strong. Don't really feel like replaying or grinding though. Hopefully will be able to scrape by.
