Here it is..
official Boyah Bloodborne thread, presumably for further use when more of us have the game
how hard is it? I'm guessing it's p. hard
Felt, it's a Souls game - that's inherently a dumb question and one you know the answer to already
[spoiler=feltpost]
but i don't remembering beyond two souls being that difficult[/spoiler]

well i can't say from my own experience but i've heard people say it's as hard as the first dark souls or maybe slightly more so? definitely at least harder than dasii.

demon's souls is still the hardest souls game
and if you can beat that, you can probably beat bloodborne lol
i cheated on 75% of the bosses tho goowan
[spoiler]
well me too lol sillydood;
some of my difficulty with demon's souls might honestly have just been due to lack of experience because i never really felt the need to cheat in a souls game after that[/spoiler]
well... except for pikachu and snorlax, dark souls' bosses were easy goowan
so it's not just experience, then, demon's souls is legitimately the hardest
i doubt bloodborne will be close to as difficult as demon's souls, especially because some of its challenge is not just because of enemy difficulty but also because of poor or unfair game design decisions that were recalibrated in subsequent souls games
john, what's your opinion y/n
how does it compare so far to the souls games lol

umm... playing offensively takes some getting used to, but other than dying to some (admittedly hard) normal enemies, the 2 bosses I fought so far, I beat them on my first try.
but maybe that's because the game is more fast-paced in it's combat than Souls, and I play quite a few action games. it's still calculated combat like souls, but faster, and less shield-y.
I'd say as far as normal encounters go, it's harder than DS2, maybe on par with DS1 and Demon's, and as soon as I find a boss that fucks me up, I'll let you know.
the bosses are quite intense though and I love that
also I fell for the oldest trick in the from software "you're an idiot" book....
an item in plain sight with an enemy hiding around a corner
:(
Bloodborne doesn't feel that hard at all.
welp, found the first boss to kick my ass....
6 attempts now.....

you can always make a japanese account and download it, it'll work just the same. Though it most likely will not be in english.
unfortunately even at my level of japanese proficiency i still couldn't make it through menus as nightmarish as bloodborne's entirely in japanese
heck, i can barely navigate souls menus in english
getting ready to dig in to Bloodborne: The Old Hunters.
unfortunately, I need to get a bit past the point of beating Vicar Amelia, and I’m in NG++
Not that I’m too worried about beating her in this playthrough, but I’m more worried that the dlc will be as if it’s in that level of playthrough as well. It might be harder than it should be…
oh well… can’t wait to get there.
Welp, I just bought this. I couldn't pass up that [glow=black,2,300]Gamest*p[/glow] offer. awdood;

no

first boss in on old hunters...
[spoiler]hmmmm... so THAT'S where the moonlight greatsword is in Yharnam...[/spoiler]
[spoiler]moonlight greatsword get[/spoiler]
I just went through a pretty disappointing boss and an amazing boss one right after the other.
[spoiler]living failures[/spoiler] was a pretty lame battle against numbers. it was the only reason it was any challenge.
[spoiler]lady maria[/spoiler] on the other hand was amazing.
one of my favorite bosses in all of soulsdom.
it was intense and fast paced, and oddly enough, very anime
I made a horribel mistake trying to do this dlc on NG++
the boss I'm on now can literally take me out with (nearly) one swing...
ffffffffffffffffffuck
So happy right now.
I've effectively beaten the old hunters dlc!
There is another optional boss.
that last boss was an absolute dick.
I'm sure being on ng++ wasn't helping but goddamn...
anyway...

congrats wrench;

in a way, more fun than even Dark Souls.
ds is still a better game overall.
but old hunters contains what I feel is the best boss fight in any souls game.
Lady Maria
I dunno though. Bloodborne suits my interests/playstyles a bit more because of it's more visceral combat.
Without some time to think about it, Bloodborne could be my number one "souls" game.
The world is far more interesting to me than DS "dark fantasy" world. but at the same time, DS "dark fantasy" is still unlike other games of its ilk.
But there aren't many games that look like BB either. Even more so.
also, i forgot to mention...
bloodborne now has a shield that is actually useful.

What was your strategy? Or did yoh just not have a hard time with him?
i like the bloodstone fusing system a lot, mostly because you can use your bloodstones infinitely and experimient all you want
also when the hell is tec gonna start playing this
Quote from: Loto on December 08, 2015, 08:23:34 PM
What was your strategy? Or did yoh just not have a hard time with him?
dodged to the side away from his attacks and generally kept behind him. would sometimes use his slow single-handed strike as an opportunity to parry. this only worked twice though. other than that i just dodged sideways and wailed on him.
i also kept far away whenever he would let out the initial poison burst in phase 3, not bothering to engage him again until it died down.
Yeah idk. he was just hard for me my first time.
he's pretty easy now tho
vicar amelia down wrench;
tec hurry up
Did u get dlc item?
no. i got the cutscene with the skull, but there was no messenger in the hunter's dream to give me any item.
i did some research and i think that, in order for me to use it on my ps4, you may have to set mine as your primary ps4. which means (i think) that i can use your stuff on mine, and then on yours you have to be online to use your downloaded stuff. because the drm is verified that way.
so basically game sharing on the ps4 is not as simple as it was on the ps3
I'll try and experiment when I get home.
I agree. myface;

no
thank goodness
also i killed [glow=black,2,300]djura[/glow] before realizing he could be an ally
will i come to regret this y/n
all you missed is some dialogue and a gesture, since he still drops that badge if he dies
gestures are very important saddood;
how exactly do you approach him from behind old yharnam anyway lol, i didn't see any alternative routes
right past where he finally stops shooting at you, there's a giant ladder on the wall. that takes you straight up to him. it's like right across from that shortcut gate down to lower old yharnam and right past that first npc hunter.
however, you have to have at least fought paarl the darkbeast (not necessarily defeated him) before djura will be friendly. and then respond to his question with "spare the beasts" or whatever
anyway i'm in the dlc and i just killed the first boss, ludwig, after he killed me five times
it's a miracle that i beat him. wasted 19 blood vials in the first phase. wrecked him in his second with only being able to use one last blood vial. yay visceral attacks.

technically no, but you can make a copy of your save file just before the final boss, beat him one way, load up that same file, do it the other way, then once more the last way.
otherwise, no it will take a minimum of 3
and if you were gonna do all 3 ways at once, make sure you find the 3 key items needed for the true ending, because you can choose to do the true end or not with those items.

Did you ever use the cane?
i tried it out just to see its moveset but i never really used it in actual combat no
Shoot. I haven't seen anyone use it and it seems so fun
i went chasing after one of the crystal lizard equivalents in nightmare frontier and then some asshole launched a boulder at me
died instantly
i fell right into that trap lol
lmao almost everyone dies by boulder immediately upon first entering that area, myself included
did you get invaded by anyone yet? only in nightmare frontier and nightmare of mensis is that old mechanic still around. i got invaded several times in nightmare of mensis but never in the frontier
i did fight off a pair of hunters in nightmare frontier but i thought they were npcs

it's kind of amusing you even tried to do nightmare frontier so early because it's definitely a mid/late-game area
i wouldn't even worry about it until after rom at the earliest. also, castle cainhurst is an easier optional area you can access once you have the summons that you get by accessing iosefka's clinic from the forbidden woods underground cave
i realized i wasn't meant for nightmare frontier soon after being murdered by that boulder-hurling beast lol (((and being intimidated by the area's openness)))
and then i rerouted to forbidden woods (((which, lucky me, is even more open)))
and are you talking about the underground cave that takes you to yharnam just outside of iosefka's clinic, or is there another route i'm missing

no thats the one
that is indeed the right path. i don't remember where the cainhurst summons is exactly, but i know you get to it via the rearside of the clinic. it might be on one of the rooftops.
also, kind of a spoiler if i tell you why, but you should probably kill rom before you poke around the backside of the clinic too much, otherwise you risk aggroing a certain npc that you want to avoid killing until after rom is dead

well, the only fundamental difference between this and dark souls is that you need to dodge constantly because it's a faster game with faster enemies and you don't have a shield. and don't be afraid to dodge toward an enemy instead of away from it - often times it's safer plus you then get a chance to hit them
i don't really remember anything in particular i did with vicar amelia, so i must not have used any specific strategy other than my usual tactic of staying to the side/backsides of bosses
what's your level, what weapon are you using, what is its level, how tall are you, how high can you jump
you should try to remain behind her at all times
i find that she's fairly easy to stagger with a fully charged strong attack of the hunter's axe (or probably any larger weapon) to the hind legs, given enough of an opening to pull it off
repeat that very same attack just as she's about to recover from being stunned and you'll trap her in a loop she'll have difficulty escaping
go for a visceral if you're feeling brave enough when she collapses and her head's pointing downward
once she's down to half her health, don't ever allow her to be more than half the room away from you or she'll use that opportunity to heal
you're not missing anything fundamental, you just need to refine your strategy lol
if you wish to defeat her alone but want practice, consider buying the bell and assisting/observing other players with her fight before taking her out in your own game
i'm like level 31, hunter's axe, +3
is the gun worth anything at all for enemies/bosses of her size?? when you guys say "visceral" you mean hitting her with a fully charged r2 attack and then r1 right? should i use the short form of the axe or the long form for this??

long form of axe if you want to actually stun her for a visceral.
yes the visceral attack is where you usually hit a fully charged r2 to stun them and then use r1 to do that move where you stick your hand in them and rip em apart essentially.
though you dont necessarily have to use the fully charged r2.
some bosses, when you hit them enough times, such as amelias butt (and head too i think), they will get stunned, and it will make the same sound as if you did hit them with a charged r2.
so you'll want to use the long form of the axe as it will cause more damage and stun her quicker.
and yes, try to stay behind her.
firearms are generally worthless in most boss arenas unless the boss is humanoid, so you're much better off two-handing that axe
the only exception in amelia's case is the flamesprayer as she's weak to fire, but your opportunities to use it against her would be limited and it does pretty pitiful damage at its base level
visceral attacks are those attacks that have their own special animation (during which you're invincible), fully charged r2 quickly followed by r1 only triggers an animation if the enemy can be backstabbed which isn't the case with amelia
her visceral is triggered when you r1 her head while she's collapsed (head down on knees/forearms, achieved after relentless strong attacking of the hind legs)
also, if you have an ample supply of fire paper, now wouldn't be a bad time to use it
the gun can't stun most bosses of that size, no. you'll want to use behind-the-back charged r2s to stun instead to get viscerals
on the other hand, i do believe you can also stun amelia for a visceral opening by simply hitting her in the head enough. many bosses have similar weak points.
so yeah...
thanks......y'all..............

Martyr Logarius? Not sure how you fought him, but most people consider him a really easy boss. You can avoid his magic skulls with the columns and you can parry him with your gun on his melee attacks.

Granted, he can do a lot of damage to you easily, its just he's also pretty easy to avoid or simply parry

lovecraft is lovecraftian
even the souls games were unabashedly lovecraftian (especially demon's), but bloodborne takes it to the next level lol
Bloodborne has many similarities to Brotherhood of the Wolf too.

yeah he's tough. i ended up finding a strategy that worked pretty consistently though, but probably only with a weapon that has a long reach in transformed mode (like the ludwig's holy blade i usually use) if you bait his attack where he just calmly walks toward you, get back far enough and go into transformed mode and charge an r2 attack to the max. try to hit him once he's close enough to hit but not close enough to attack you. it'll do huge damage and stun him to allow either another another quick hit or a dodge away
also, i only have one trophy left in this game. gotta do a couple more chalices to fight the optional chalice dungeon boss for my last trophy
There's an even easier strategy...
Let him come up to you in the rafters or whatever and hit him there.
Rafters? You can only fight him inside the grand cathedral. Where Vicar Amelia was. There are no rafters you can access in there.
You can bait him to the doors though and cheese him that way
Also, if you can make him de-aggro while his weapon is transformed, he'll slowly die of its life drain.
Oh woops. I thought we were talking about one reborn.
Forgive me
i just put on my big boy pants and parried him at every opportunity
it took me five tries but he went down eventually lol
[spoiler]Also, I've now lost ten total insight to Brainsuckers. goodjob;

[spoiler]oh does it now? goowan[/spoiler]
Very much so. :(
it's apparent that it's about time i start bringing my weapons up to +9, but chunks are SO scarce that i'm hesitant to spend the few i have on any one weapon smithicide;
if you didn't fight ebriatas, better get yourself back up to that upper cathedral ward you love so much
in the celestial emissary boss room, there's a big window you can break through, where you'll find the real boss of upper cathedral ward
btw tec, chunks aren't that scarce tbh. you find a ton of them in late areas, from either just normal loot or scurrying beasts
btw you can also buy chunks for 20 insight, and rocks for 60
and you can technically farm insight by just creating the first and easiest chalice and fighting its bosses over and over
oh i noticed him, but i quit for the night before challenging him lol
and boy am i glad to hear that chunks become more common
and that there's an easier way to farm insight than co-oping bosses

Agreed. :(
like, he's not hard, but you have to chase him all over, and he's got one move that can easily kill you if it hits right
if you're going to get everything in nightmare of mensis, particularly the choir bell hunter tool, the blood rock, and the best version of the moon rune (super useful btw), you have to go through this awful part that has four of those winter lantern enemies. all of which seem to be particularly impossible to sneak up on, so i ended up having to tank the frenzy damage and heal up over and over
looked up the npc sidequests. turns out you CAN save the skeptical guy near the prostitute in cathedral ward. oops :(

Yes. My Hunter can no longer be a bride.
Oh Amygdala, Amygdala...have mercy on the poor bastard!
[spoiler]defiled amygdala did not have any mercy to spare. would honestly not be that hard were it not for two moves that are near-guaranteed to one-shot pretty much anyone. took me many tries, but i knew i'd get it just fine eventually because i almost always got him down to very low health[/spoiler]
I still think the biggest problem, aside from near no health of course, is you have much less room for this version
hnnnng i wanna start this game but im palying so much shit right now i know i wont finish this game if i try to put in my rotation so i should just wait until i beat/get tired of something else but it looks so cook hngggg
it did help me a lot that i figured out a good strategy for getting a visceral in at just the right time. and that the ludwig's holy blade transformed l2 swings in a high arc that will reliably hit his head. and that bone marrow ash with an evelyn+10 can also do reliably good damage to his head
basically i'd try to not hit his head at all in the first phase, then start hitting his head a lot in the second phase, making it so my visceral opportunity will be right about the time he would have ripped his arms off for the third phase, also getting an extra hit in after he gets back up from the visceral, making it so he'd only have a little bit of health left for the hardest part

it's a fantastic game and a worthy entry in the souls series, with a playstyle that's more fun than the rest of them wrench;
yeah im currently playing lots of diablo 3, witcher 3, and (lol) destiny (which im sure i'll get tired of within the next few weeks). and then there's the usual dota 2 with the squad which eats up most of my gaming time, and we've now started tossing in vermintide, so i'm afraid if i try to put bloodboner into that ill play like maybe 3 hours over the span of 2 weeks and then never touch it again
I WANNA GET INTO IT
so maybe once i beat diablo since im p close to the end of that i think, or once i officially say 'fuck destiny' i'll get goin on dis one
oops, now the crow hunter lady is trying to kill me since i didn't randomly backtrack and find her in a random location during a random period of game-time!

DO IT
i'm such an asshole
i just invaded and murdered some poor kid in nightmare of mensis
he didn't even have a chance to retaliate
someone had done the very same to me earlier and i was p. annoyed lol
forgive me, friend, i need those gestures
6 tries and like 70 blood vials for martyr logarius >.<
how do you even fight him without desperately gun-spamming lmao
well, you can't parry him in his second phase if you allowed him to buff himself, because if you did, he can't really be stunned. you can backstab/visceral him out of buffing himself tho, then the second phase is super easy because he'll then be really easy to parry as all he'll do is melee attacks
i honestly remember very little of my own fight against him, i don't think i did anything special other than hiding behind stuff to keep away from his magic, and just dodging his melee attacks
that giant sword explosion he does when he's switching to phase 2 is an interruptible buff??????? god damn it it's artorias all over again akudood;
i must have discovered it by accident because i do remember being able to parry him in his second phase. i only read online later that said buff really sucks if you let it happen
im confused because i never interrupted the buff but the only reason i even beat him was by doing parry+visceral attacks with fire paper lol. i think you have to be REALLY close to him or else the bullet will literally bounce off of him

also i'm probably just blind but there doesn't seem to be a way to get back to hunter's nightmare from hunter's dream so do i have to get grabbed by amygdala every single time i want to go back there or what? also what's the deal with that guy who asks you if you're interested in nightmares, is it a covenant? confuseddood;

time to do chalice dungeons, grind pigs' assholes in nightmare of mensis, or finally cave in and summon to just end this shit hocuspocus;
you're better off doing chalice dungeons in ng+ because their difficulty doesn't scale but in ng+ you can level more and trust me you'll have difficulty with the later ones in ng lol
hey kaz what level were you for these FUCKING bosses
umm idk. but by the time i finished chalice dungeons i was like level 150 for fighting queen yharnam. i only did the dungeons necessary to fight her. however, i felt like i may have been slightly overleveled for her, as i had a really easy time with her...but i guess maybe she's just easy in general idk
i feel like i was like lvl 110-120 or smth when i beat orphan of kos
who, by the way, took me many tries to beat
ok im level 92. time 2 grind
oops i fucked up getting the milkweed rune
finally beat laurence at lvl 95 and orphan at lvl 96 right after. orphan took around 40 tries and is the absolute hardest boss in all of demon's souls, dark souls, and this game (not counting chalice bosses). jesus christ >_<'
he probably is the hardest yeah
beat the game. 3 tries for gehrman and then i one-shotted moon presence with only 3 blood vials lmao
great game, i can't wait for dark souls 3 hocuspocus; [glow=black,2,300]but i guess i have to play dark souls 2 first...[/glow]

caved in and summoned an npc for the first time for defiled amygdala because FUCK THAT SHIT
he died halfway through so it barely helped at all though lol, especially since i had to deal with the hardest part of the fight with the boss having even more health
im so ready to be done with chalice dungeons holy fuck
beat queen yharnam first try THE POWER OF GOD
cool boss but not worth the dungeon slog. could have just been a secret boss in the main game. you could cut the chalice dungeons entirely and the game's overall quality would stay the same. i look forward to never doing any of them ever again!!!
now all i have left for platinum is 2 of the endings and 1 missing weapon but i won't bother until a long time from now
which missing weapon? hope it's not the beast claws because they're in a chalice dungeon lol
then again, it's one of the ones you would have done to get to queen yharnam so you coudl easily just warp to the floor its on and run to it
chikagay cause i never joined the vilebloods
oh. it's not like you really have to "join" them anyway, there's no true covenants in this game lol. you just talk to her and get the oath rune

would anybody be interested in watching me try to play this
beat father g whatever first try, didnt even use the music box which i later learned is the cheapy way to do it from my friend lol. the notes i had made it sound like it was just enemies not a boss fight, so i wandered into it on accident sitting on 6000 bloods (enough for almost 2 levels where im at), so my butthole was clenched the whole fight
was kinda cool, since it's arguably a level playing field fight since you're fighting another hunter, but it also made it kinda easy to bait out lol
ON TO THIS CHAPEL THING
I got dragged into some prison by some bitch with a sack after I beat the Blood starved beast wtf akudood;

the shield you find can negate the lightning's damage by like 90%, as opposed to having to dodge through it which can be tricky since it moves so slow.
but yeah it's a really tough fight, i would say arguably the hardest boss in the whole souls franchise
but it's also fucking great
It was okay. akudood;

he was nothing compared to kos... for me anyway
i don't think nyerp is saying he's necessarily harder than kos, just frustrating and awful. for cheap reasons such as the lava filling the room. at least i hope he's not saying he's harder than kos, because kos is definitely harder.
i didn't like the laurence fight. "bring back an old boss but on fire" boss design strikes again. it was just a pain.
yeah what kaz said. i meant worst designed boss. too much fire explosion bullshit and slam attacks that track you until the last second. don't even get me started on the second form
Ah... apologies
got to the blood starved beast, fight was going p well for my first try, had him down to less than half hp
and then he ripped my head of while i had full hp.

use a guide for how to get into each chalice dungeon + which order to go in to get to queen yharnam
personally i didn't do them all so there's like two bosses i've never fought but i don't really feel bad because chalice dungeons are lame and queen yharnam netted me the platinum so
apparently I'm the only one who liked the chalice dungeons.
it was fun to randomly get summoned for them, but going through them alone is kinda boring
they've got some good bosses and they're not like "bad" per se they're just boring

now somebody explain why gehrman so vehemently resisted my attempt to free him from eternal servitude to the moon presence as the decrepit host of the dream
i must be misunderstanding his motives lol, why would he not want to be freed just as he does for the pc in the first ending
i mean he clearly laments his position as host
>attempting to make sense of souls plot lines[/spoiler]
[spoiler]idk maybe gehrman realized that if you killed him the moon presence would just replace him with you so he'd rather try to "free" you by killing you?????
he laments his position but i'm pretty sure he's powerless to moon presence and assumes you are as well[/spoiler]

agreed, i interpreted it the same way. especially since if he kills you his dialogue seems to imply that he's freed you, iirc
also: [spoiler=other ending spoiler]choosing to let him kill you, like through the dialogue choice, allows you to wake up from the dream.[/spoiler]

FUCK THIS FUCKING BLOOD STARVED BITCH, also how can he identify as blood starved, i have died to him many times
[spoiler]but really can someone give me a tip or two, especially for the third phase; i have no real problems getting to the third phase but once i do i get utterly fucked because of how fast he starts moving, like basically if i get hit once it's GG because i can't recover because i need to antidote and use a blood flask and thats like 2 seconds of just standing there which ya can't do!!! i died twice last night with him down to about two or three hits, and i've spent like 4 hours across all my attempts now THIS SHIT IS FRUSTRATING WHY DO I SUCK[/spoiler]
Hmmm do you have any fire paper? He's weak to fire.
yeah i've been using it; helps ensure i get to phase 3, but then i still get my dick kicked in.
also bloodborne wiki and my bro keep saying this shit is optional so perhaps i should KEEP EXPLORING despite not having seen another way to go saddood;
oh also reading the wiki page for old yarnham told me i should summon Alfred with THE BELL which is something i have not tried lmao god i'm trash at these games
You could also just summon a player to help you with the small resonant bell
Idk I don't have great advice because he gave me trouble my first time too
blood starved was really hard for me until i realized that every single one of his attacks can be dodged the same way (to the left and slightly forward for me). you pretty much can't get hit so you just have to not let him hit you. the third phase is all about getting him as far away from the poisoned area as possible.
yeah i read about the left side dodge thing this morning, i will have to give that a shot in combination with INVITING A BUDDY THE POWER OF GOD

don't even man, i saw you die to flamelurker over and over last night
tfw you play through demon's souls the first time without rolling and have to completely change your playstyle to beat allant
i'd probs still to this day couldn't beat flamefucker without cheesing him
i'm sure you could
i cheesed him on my first playthrough too, but by my second i was confident enough to take him on directly and i quickly realized he's pretty easy if you're just as aggressive as he is lol
and by my third confrontation with him he went down in about a minute

funny enough, my first time, he was like, one of the few bosses I didn't cheese. But I was better prepared with the heater shield and other stuff.
I think I mostly fucked up my stats this time, because everything I want to use is strength based, but is dex based in later games.
Or rather, requires more strength than I remember, and equip burden is a huge pain in the ass in demons

yeah, being really aggressive is the key to flamelurker, since he thankfully staggers from hits fairly often and his attacks have decent-ish forewarning. unless you are indeed going to cheese him via purple flame shield (or getting him stuck in that little bone house in the room)
i just realized the shop messanger guys had a fucking emblem key
so i opened up a whole new place to explore off of cathedral ward

so i beat blood starved beast and vicar i'm on my way baby

yeah i was real close to being that guy, i think im done for the evening lol
legit weird to me that you did so well on darkbeast but are having trouble with rom
but the interesting thing about souls games is that nobody seems to agree on which bosses are harder than others and everyone has trouble on different ones
yeah i mean i just get impatient really easily, if i can figure out how to cheese it i do good; rom i died because i just got impatient after the like 5th try. and i've been playing this shit all day, i can't grind bullets and vials right now lol maybe ill give er another go tomorrow i think i can beat spidy in the next try or two i think ive figured out the strat

I'd be like, the only one who says that you should do them. I really liked doing them.
But the powers that be have spoken, so...
Skip 'em
i'd say at least give 'em a shot, but don't expect much.
kewl. i might check em out soon to at least see what all the jazz is.
though im probably in overwatch land for the next couple weeks anyway yes;
i do not like the repetition and constant boss reusing that the chalice dungeons have but i think it's a system at least worth skimming over because there's unique bosses in there plus the system is actually pretty neat on paper
though what's neater is the root versions that are actually truly randomized
headless bloodletting beast downed in one attempt :)
just... one... more... layer......
so you're on the layer with queen yharnam now?
i was
and now she too is dead after one attempt lubdoods;
[spoiler]
though not before she brought me down to zero blood vials (from 24) and less than half a bar of health lol[/spoiler]
PLATINUM GET !!
nice!! also neat coincidence that i also just platinumed dark souls iii today
i ought to get started on that myself sillydood;
also i recently learned that i'm apparently missing two armor sets (charred hunter and harrowed), and acquiring either of them would require investing a few hours into ng+, so i can't technically claim to be 100% complete with this game just yet
anyway, now just two more souls games left to platinum
great job tec !!
thx nyerp boyahbby
Congrats on the platinum
wrench;
lol i'm such garbage
beat cleric beast on my fourth or fifth try
for gascoigne i had to summon a dude goowan
this hunter is probs never gonna be alone when it comes to bosses
tfw having to pay for ps+ to have the privilege of being able to beat this game
i have complete faith that you could have taken him and the subsequent bosses solo thyme lol
but now that you've already paid for ps piss i guess it would be a waste not to use it myface;
you're not paying for summons, you're paying for messages and bloodstains!!!

also what the

here's a tip for the next boss!!!:

well tbh most of the souls gimmicky fights HAVE been pretty lackluster, but there's a few cool ones. i liked the deacons of the deep and crystal sage in dasiii

oh boy goowan
the one reborn was a dumb boss

just beat bloodborne
[spoiler]by letting gherman kill me ifeelbetter;[/spoiler]
also either i'm actually gitting gud or this one was easier than both DeS and DaS1
i cheesed about as much as i did with those other two so that can't be it lol
one thing i really liked about this game is how none of the bosses are particularly hard to go back to if you die to them
four kings, anyone?
also the shortcut system in general
there was a semblance of that in DaS1, but i feel it wasn't as elaborate as in bloodborne, idk
random thymeplaythrough facts:
time: 38:28:07
end level: 93
weapon used against mergo's wet nurse: tonitrus+9 with my best gemstones, got it to 427 atk iirc lol
fav bosses: witch of hemwick, micolash (i like gimmick bosses), amygdala
least fav boss because 2hard: gascoigne
least fav boss because lame: one reborn
bosses i needed an online buddy to beat: gascoigne, blood-starved beast
bosses i beat on my first try: one reborn, celestial emissary, micolash, ebrietas (with offline npc)
bloodborne is the hardest game in the series
also you really should've fought gherman >_<'
cheese 2 the end
perfect excuse to replay the game on ng+ [glow=black,2,300]with the dlc[/glow] tomatoes;
also i'm glad there were no [glow=black,2,300]mimics[/glow] goowan
ebriatas is probably the hardest boss in the main game imo
also i found bloodborne to be overall easier than souls games, but of course the dlc final boss is insanely difficult, hardest boss in the franchise
congrats thyme
dlc thyme y/n
and yeah you def. should have fought gehrman lol, but i guess there's always ng+++++

no way
i downed ebrietas in one attempt
martyr logarius is easily the hardest non-dlc boss lol
and i downed logarius in one attempt sillydood;
btw the reason logarius was easy for me is because i was aggressive and used lots of visceral attacks and also backstabbed him out of his buff animation
started playing again
still stuck on this fucking spider
Quote from: C.Mongler on May 21, 2016, 08:40:07 PM
rom the spider is a big BITCH can i modify my boyah award nomination
let it be known that it took me 4 fucking months of my life to finally clear this dipshit boss that wasnt even that hard this is just how these games are for me

if it's any comfort, i struggle with """easy""" bosses in these games all the time rofl

what specific part are you having trouble with? if it's the room with all the enemies around the big fire, you can use the pebble item to draw fewer enemies' attention
also which weapon are you using?

yeah that part gave me trouble but i'm able to get past it now, but i still haven't beat the first boss. i forgot the name of the weapon i think it was the saw, and the blunderbuss
Saw Cleaver? Solid weapon, used it for a long time.

that's the one
just beat cleric beast on i think third try, now i'm loving this game. i stumbled upon father gascoigne unexpectedly and actually got him about halfway down before he killed me, too
heh trying to beat this before zoldo that is my new goal. i BEAT A BOSS LAST NIGHT
the one reborn
don't know why i rage quit after my first try on this guy, he was fucking easy as sin, but i also spent 3 hours grinding and regaining my bearings the other night so i might just be way too overleveled now but whatever WISH ME LUCK SQUAD i got to the nightmare place last night and found a room full of spiders and decided it was time for bed
i mean to be fair you can't really be truly overleveled for a boss, any boss can still annihilate you in a few hits. so i think it's more that you just figured out how to fight him, and for the record he's pretty easy to most people (compared to other bosses at least i guess)
true, i more meant that my attacks do a shitton of damage now, and i killed his ass after only 2 cycles of jump in, smack the shit out of his middle part, jump out, repeat

you fought him on the ground eh?
i did too lol, i'm sure most people did
can u fight him from space
also i think im almost done maybe? nightmare of mensis is the last area right? cuz i just kicked Amygdala's ass they were a lil bitch
Nightmare of Mensis is the last area before the final boss yes, but did you do the optional areas/bosses? Also consider doing the DLC before finishing up of course. This is one of the several Souls games that immediately launches you into New Game+ after the final boss so make sure you've done all you wanna do on this playthrough.
Also Mergos Wet Nurse is the boss of Nightmare of Mensis, not Amygdala??
Also also, consider if you want to go for the true ending, normal ending, or "bad" ending (quotation marks cause it's more good than bad tbh).
i just meant i killed amygdala and now im going towards finishing nightmare of mensis since i got spooked by spiders last time which is what lead me towards exploring alternative paths to find and kill amygdala in the first place. i think i have two optionals (celestial emmesary, eberietas) but logarius was such a cunt that i dunno if i give a shit anymore lol
wait so i should do old hunters before i finish mensis tho? i was gonna do it after i beat the game/when i had time for it cuz at this point im just trying to wrap up this shit before zelda comes out since ive been playing this game for like a damn year now, but if its more productive to finish old hunters before i beat the game i guess i will
tho im never gonna finish pokemon before zoldo too at this rate if i do that tho :(
If you're gonna do the dlc, do it right before the final boss, which is right after Mensis. You'll want to be as prepared as you can anyway.
I think DS 2 & 3 are the only ones where you have to trigger ng+?

nope
finish bloodborne
my bro suggested doing a save backup right before final boss and coming back to old hunters i might do that, but i think ill check it out and see how much trouble it gives me first as i think im just starting to get fatigue from playing this shit for probably like 50 hours now (over the span of a year lolol)
tried to do the remaining optionals but holy shit the alien guys annoyed the shit out of me. i died 3 times and lost almost 20 insight and then went back to the main path because i was too frustrated lol
i decided to give old hunters a lil whirl last night and made it 5 minutes before dying with a "what the fuck was that shit"
2 hard 4 me
