drahkon Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Haven't played at all over the weekend I'll have a bit of time over the next few days, though. : peace: Did the Father Gascoigne fight earlier. It was awesome. Super intense. Used the music box to stun him - and then when he was under half health a couple molatovs. Don't even know where to get that music box you've used. Well, something to look for on NG+ Fought and killed Father Gascoigne just now. What an amazing fight. Shit my pants when I got him down to his health threshold. Currently using the Axe (upgraded it three times and added a blood gem). Will farm echoes to buy all the weapons before moving on. Really want to give that Kirkhammer a go as it looks awesome. I mean, a sword which can be transformed into a fucking stone hammer. Got the Small Resonant Bell which you can use to help others. Gave someone a hand with defeating Gascoigne. It was incredibly laggy Hope the next patch gets released soon.
James Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Did I miss the bit where it told you how to equip a weapon! 30 minutes later I had to Google it!
drahkon Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Did I miss the bit where it told you how to equip a weapon! 30 minutes later I had to Google it! Don't count on the game telling you anything besides the basic controls in the beginning. That's the beauty of Bloodborne (and the Souls games). It's all about exploration, and not only exploring the world but exploring the mechanics (yes, even as basic as getting to grips with the inventory).
James Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Yeah fair enough, but I imagine fighting a werewolf with your bare hands for 30 minutes isn't fun for a lot of people and would put them right off it.
drahkon Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Yeah fair enough, but I imagine fighting a werewolf with your bare hands for 30 minutes isn't fun for a lot of people and would put them right off it. Well, if people haven't figured out that you need a weapon (and need to find out how to equip said weapon) after fighting for 30 minutes and dying over and over again...then the Souls games aren't for them
Sheikah Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Yeah fair enough, but I imagine fighting a werewolf with your bare hands for 30 minutes isn't fun for a lot of people and would put them right off it. lol, you'd never make it that far with your bare hands.
Shorty Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 You get a ridiculous number of gemstones in this game. I'm not planning on switching weapons just yet but when I do, I'll be able to max it out right away.
Sheikah Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Yep, you easily get enough to max several (or at least get several to +6). Especially helpful as the Tonitrus doesn't have the best durability.
Deathjam Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 This game is kicking my arse and making me look like a scrub. Think I'm being way too cautious at the moment. Beautiful though
drahkon Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Pretty sure I'm close to the next boss. Taking a break, though as I need to eat
The Bard Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 This is the best game. So much better than Dark Souls.
somme Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I had starting to get my bearings, thought I was getting to know where everything was but nope. It really is a maze.
Daft Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I was wandering around Old Yarham, went really far and the further I went, the more I wanted to turn back. 15,000 blood echoes and I still pushed forward bot now desperately looking for a way to open a shot-cut back to the start. Being cautious, trying oh so hard to not die or accidentally stroll into a boss. Eventually I found a way back, and levelled up three times to lvl 29. The tension. My heart. This game. Epic.
The Bard Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Wait until you get to the lower Forbidden Woods. Never felt so amazingly lost in a game level.
drahkon Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Trying to beat the first Chalice Dungeon. Not an easy task when you fight new enemies.
James Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Christ this is hard, finally getting to grips with it now, but still haven't progressed very far, unlocked the odd gate here and there!
Sheikah Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) I think Rom was actually the easiest boss so far for me. Hit, hit, run, hit. I remember entering the fight with only about 6 healing potions and thinking I wouldn't have a chance. Edited March 31, 2015 by Sheikah
Shorty Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 The Vicar was easiest for me, didn't get hit once or use a single potion. I was actually concerned that it was a poor boss, I never even saw any of its attacks. I think maybe I'm not currently dealing enough damage for Rom. I watched a video of it and some dude had about double my health and a sword. I haven't come across a sword...
drahkon Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Managed to do a nice amount of progress. Level 35, bought Ludwig's Holy Blade - the Axe is still the best weapon so far - and beat the Witch. : peace: Now I have no idea where to go Have a suspicion, though.

You should have come across the item that lets you buy it by that point? @drahkon I know somewhere you could go you been 'captured' yet? Tonitrus awaits!
drahkon Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) you been 'captured' yet? Tonitrus awaits! Not yet. Sounds interesting, though. Let's see if it happens when I investigate my suspicion Haven't looked up anything besides how the chalice dungeons work, yet. This game is such a joy. With every death comes a new revelation, with every new weapon combat changes, with every new enemy my heart races,...the list goes on and on. Edit: Reached Layer 3 of my first Chalice Dungeon. Man, it gets tough down there. Edited March 31, 2015 by drahkon
Deathjam Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Really don't understand the hype around this game at the moment. I loved demon souls, dark souls less so, but the lack of progress im making is astounding. Can't even make it to first boss let alone kill him and taking out the enemies to get to him is increasingly frustrating. Would have given up by now if I wasn't so stubborn and having paid so much already

Would have given up by now if I wasn't so stubborn and having paid so much already As soon as you even reach a boss (regardless of whether you die) you get 1 insight and can then level up. When you reach the 2 massive dog beasts on the bridge, run past them and make a break for the house on the left. You can unlock a shortcut that essentially provides a <30 second route to the boss from the checkpoint. It's one of those things where once you get some of those things done, the game becomes a heck of a lot less difficult.
Deathjam Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Oh god I reached and got stuck and got killed 😑. Thanks, will keep trying
