Babooo Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Ha nice one gents - I finished this on Saturday too Very happy to be done with it and nice to give the PS4 a little break before the Witcher 3 comes around
CoolFunkMan Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 I've had this game since launch, and I think it's bloody brilliant! Frustratingly difficult, but then I was expecting that really. Haven't had a ton of time to play it though, so still attempting to blitz through it. Reveal hidden contents I'm currently stuck on Yahar’gul, Unseen Village, where I've got to try and take on three Hunters at once. I know how to do it, it's just bloody difficult. Managed to get the key to Upper Cathedral Ward too, so I might explore that area a bit first, before pressing on. I'm currently level 61 (or is it 62?) at the moment. I also have a feeling I've missed tons of stuff. For one thing, I've only rescued the annoying old lady from the starting area, and haven't found anyone else, except for the little girl. Although I gave her the broach back, and I've heard she dies if you do this. My flat-mate found the cannon in The Forbidden Woods too, and I didn't. :/ Oh, and I came across an annoying bug too... Reveal hidden contents So, I found the Tiny Tonitrus in the current area, and when I went to upgrade it in the workshop at the Hunter's Dream, it had vanished out my inventory. I went back to the chest where I found it, and it wasn't there either. It's just completely gone. It's bloody annoying.

I found the best way to do it was to attack them first and then run like fuck back to the lamp. I stood in the doorway and basically tried to funnel them in through there, slashing them as they tried coming in. Reveal hidden contents I found the canon, can't remember where. I didn't even get to Upper Cathedral Ward in my playthrough, I think. Apparently I've missed two bosses this way. Boooo. I also didn't come across many NPCs. I found the annoying old lady, but then sent a guy to be with her and he promptly killed her. I don't know how I managed to miss so many people...

Reveal hidden contents Good thinking, I might try that when I get back round to playing it again. Cheers. Reveal hidden contents I remember the cannon is somewhere in the Forbidden Woods, that's all I know though. I may have to scout out that area again. *shudder* The key was pretty obscure to find though. If you want to find it, it's in the same area as the group of witches and the giant beast that lazers you as you head down the stairs. To the right, just as you reach that area, there's a gap in the fence. Jump down there, kill the bell ringer and Brute, and if you drop down, you'll end up in a cage with the key. Hope that helps, it's difficult to explain tbh. No idea how I missed people either. I was told where they were, but I went to check after beating Rom, and they were gone. I guess I progressed the game enough to make them bugger off/die.

Reveal hidden contents After you beat Rom, every human left in the town turns or dies. If you're going to send anyone to the clinic or Cathedral Ward, it has to be before killing Rom.

I'll have to do that on a second playthrough (if I can be bothered...)

Reveal hidden contents Ok, so I've just found it, but I didn't realise it requires an Arcane level of 25. I only have a level of 11. Well, fuck... XD Edited May 6, 2015 by CoolFunkMan
James Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Where do I find the sinister bell and the one that let's me join other peoples games, I only have the one bell that allows other to join my game, I've checked the shop at they ain't in there.

Reveal hidden contents The messenger in Hunter's Dream. Not the normal one close to where the doll is. Go back into the house...place...thing...forgotten what it's called. If you go out of the door/window there, there's another set of messengers who sell stuff. I believe you can buy the stuff you want from there. I also believe you may need 15 insight before they appear. If you have Madman's knowledge, use them.
James Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Lol cheers buddy, played a fair few hours of this 40+ and never noticed the other messengers!
drahkon Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Aaaaand there's the Platinum What a beast (heh) of a game. Looking forward to the inevitable DLC.

Shorty Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Tomorrow is later this year :p But hey I'd rather see some fleshed out expansion pack than rushed DLC you clear in a few hours.
Happenstance Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 I wouldnt be suprised to see the dlc announced at E3 then come out later this year. In other news, I finally bought myself a copy of Bloodborne so will be delving into that once I'm done with The Witcher 3.
Nolan Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Fuck the Martyr and Fuck the Shadow, I'm playing Witcher 3.
Babooo Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Great news to hear of incoming expansion for BB. Loved this game (although I'm glad to be done with it in time for Witcher 3!).
Jimbob Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Well, that came out of nowhere. Nice to see support of a great game, as it's been mentioned already, could expect to see/hear more about it at E3.
James Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Well I finally got this completed, been moving house and didn't have the time, but this weekend I decided to sit and and hammer it out and boy did it deliver, was struggling on a few parts but bosses seemed to get easier or was I getting better. I wasn't dying as much I know that. Reveal hidden contents I decided to not accept my death at the end, which ended trying to beat the original hunter but fuck was he fast so I rang the bell and 2 people joined me and got him taken down pretty quickly
Goron_3 Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Finally got round to playing this! I actually got this with my PS4 but I ended up playing TLoU and Tomb Raider first. Man, this game. Holy crap. I've probably played for around 8 hours and I've only just beaten Cleric Beast (I actually discovered the second boss first and got stuck on him for a while) but I'm absolutely in love with it. The atmosphere and sound design is top notch and I love exploring the world. I was getting a bit frustrated with the whole 'when you die you lose your blood echoes/all the enemies respawn' mechanic but I feel like it's made me a better player. Unlocking shortcuts is also so damn rewarding, maybe more so that beating a boss! I literally can't stop thinking about this game..I'm in love <3

I've never played anything quite like it. Probably the most satisfying combat system evaaaaaarrrr. (This + Spotify is amazing. I listened to the Machina album by the Smashing Pumpkins whilst playing this game and it was just godly)
Kav Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Bugger... I forgot to pick this up yesterday when I got Batman and The Witcher! I'll have to pick it up tomorrow now... if I remember! Haha

It's unforgiving in places and it won't hold your hand. You're on your own.
somme Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I got past the woods and got too frightened to go on. Get getting killed by weird vomiting plants or something as well. They were men and scary. But I did really like the game. Should probably pick it up again at some point.
