welp, thanks for the video, yeah, patience is definitely key with phase 2 - 1 hit at a time, 2 at most, I was just being far too creedy, did it with 8 vials to spare in the end.

Yoooo, if this is for real I'm stoked to go in that cave
I really enjoyed that fight in the vanilla game, the poison was just an annoyance
Nope, just started making progress in it today sadly. Giant troll thing with a fucking boom stick. Paired with one with an axe. What the fuck From Software? what. the. fucking. fuck.
Run away/around him, and live to fight another day. If you are where I think you are, you are close to a new lamp and boss. just push a bit further.

I have been reading Lovecraft and I immediately thought of that too.

Bloodborner sounds like the 1980's western sequel.

Started a fresh character for the DLC. Got to level 60 and thought 'that's what people are saying is the level for starting it. Should have realised it was the bare minimum. As long as hit my counters I could get by the hunters, but miss one and I was hurting bad. Back to the main game for now. Might return once Rom is down.

Lol at the dlc bug/exploit. Not something I want to share or should after finding it yesterday on accident hope they patch it
I'm glad my typo is an extra R, not a misplace one.
Western-themed horror game with Souls-esque combat, I play the hell out of that
11 new main weapons
5 off hand weapons
2 arcane spells
5 bosses
3 Areas
2 new transformations
A bucket of salt

I reached it, this shit is intense. Summoned the guy that was in the corner. I guess he operated as a distraction cause he got cut down by them before I could even reach the lamp.

Is the butcher set a bit of a call back to Executioner Miralda's armor?
Too many people asking for help, not enough people helping. Try summoning Valtr. He's quite good.
Wouldn't a blood-starved beast naturally be seeking... you know... blood?
idk
that would mean one relatively small section was planned for an entire DLC, it's a really cool area but there isn't much content there
But it wouldn't be Blood-Starved, then.

Well he was about to drink his fill of that blood before we crashed the party
Where's the bucket of salt? Been scouring the research hall all day trying to find it.
You shouldn't eat something that already spoiled on the floor.

My personal theory is that the BSB and the other beasts are hiding from the blood-crazed hunters that will stop at nothing to slaughter them. They are, after all, being protected by a hunter wielding a Gatling Gun -- a weapon that, according to its description, is the signature weapon of one of Djura's companions.

Well, he really isn't, is he? In that location he is just a beast hence why he is less aggressive and doesn't have that awful poison effect.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but that 'salt' is figurative.
It was sarcasm.

Made it to the boss...
I feel stupid then.

Phew, L
down and I think I'm all done. I think I did it on my sixth try. I was determined not to die but my hands were shaking when I got him down to <10% HP, I kept topped up and didn't want to die. The run back is kind of annoying, you don't really have to engage any enemies but waiting for the boulder and the giant axe dude to get out of the door feels like unnecessary time.
I think I've done everything and got all the new loot. Killed Brador after getting his full set from his
, which makes him this games
I suppose.
I loooooooved the Research Hall and Fishing Hamlet, these are two of my favourite areas in the game and give me hope that DS3 is going to look amazing and varied.
I'd love to do a full squid/arcane build with all the relevant weapons and spells, but I've put off starting Fallout 4 to wait for this DLC, so I'm not going to do another run straight away - BB has been the only PS4 game I've played, so time to delve outside of Soulsborne until DS3 comes out (am itching to play DS1 again though, might get a sneaky run in over Xmas!)

You can just run while sticking to the left side of the stairs and the boulder won't hit you.

Well Bros keep fucking me up. As soon as the second one drops they just keep doing the charge of infinite range and damage.
Such a shitty encounter.

Maybe merging the two DLCs happened relatively early in development and stuff got shifted around so that the seams aren't obvious.
Or possibly there not being an easy splitting point was a factor in deciding to do one bigger DLC rather than 2 smaller ones.

I have to take a break. I can't deal with this first boss. It's probably because I'm NG++, but holy shit I just can't. The amount of HP it has is crazy. The damage output of its sweeping attacks. The shit it busts out later on where seemingly no part of the screen is safe. The camera wigging the fuck out constantly with its erratic movement.
And I can't even summon anyone. All I have is the shitty NPC summon. I'm...I'm so frustrated right now good god.

My weapons do like nothing to him, it's not even funny.
Shaman bone blade. Why do people keep forgetting about this tool?
TheBlackMarvel

I have it but I never get an opportunity to use it as they literally do not stop doing that move lol. And for some reason FROM decided what that move really needed was the ability to change direction so it's nigh unavoidable.
Henrietta is garbage for that fight. If you're in the League summon Valtr, that guy is a supersoldier.

Ahhh! Thanks. I guess I should've known that given the exact same thing happens in the very first area of the game, doh!
I honestly can't think of a suitable cutoff point, I mean maybe after
Ludwig?

Henriett, I think? Also, LHB.
