Bloodborne

Fuck, lol! We have to be within 10 levels of each other for friend co-op to work. Not sure if that rule applies to the dungeons, though.

As of last night, I think I was at 111 but I'm currently stacking my level 2 and level 3 Moon runes and making tons of blood echoes in the Loren Chalice (depth 4).

I have another character that I'll try to get leveled up quickly. And I did the same thing, just with 3 Moon runes haha. That, combined with farming the student puddle things on the first floor of the Lecture Hall was a great way to boost levels.

Patience in battle. Much patience. Learn from your deaths. Beat all the bosses. You go back to the dream at each lantern and you purchase items or level your character up with them.

Just to add: you need at least 1 insight to activate the Doll at the Hunter's Dream, who levels you up. Here's a rundown from the wiki that lists how you gain insight:

Insight is gained as the player progresses through the game, defeats enemies, and finds new areas.
◾ Entering a boss area for the first time grants +1 Insight.
◾ Entering Iosefka's Clinic through the back door grants +1 Insight.
◾ Entering the Abandoned Old Workshop grants +2 Insight.
◾ Entering Yahar'gul, Unseen Village after being killed by a Death Dealer grants +1 Insight.
◾ Entering the Cainhurst Castle grounds grants +2 Insight.
◾ Defeating a boss grants +3 Insight.
◾ Defeating a boss in another player's world grants +1 Insight.
◾ Consuming a Madman's Knowledge grants +1 Insight.
◾ Consuming a Great One's Wisdom grants +2 Insight.
◾ Consuming One Third of Umbilical Cord grants +3 Insight.
◾ Sending an NPC to Iosefka's Clinic or Oedon Chapel grants +1 Insight.
◾ Killing an adversarial host player grants +1 Insight.

Easiest way is to just enter the Mad Cleric boss fight, or find a Madman's Knowledge. The downside with the boss fight is, you will probably die and thus lose any souls that you have.

Final post: Has anyone else here finished the game yet? Either way, what is the boss fight (or even general encounter) everyone had the most difficulty with? What was something you heard was really tough but found not that difficult?

Personally, I had a MESS of a time with Amelia on my first go around. Probably took about 8 or 9 times. The Moonlight Presence was also tough, although I only died once (I was just super stressed).

I found that Gehrman wasn't all that bad. I had the timing down on him perfectly. Also, the chain gun guy I found to be a cakewalk one on one, and all I've heard is that people have had a night mare time with him.

Apparently the patch that reduces load times by '5-15' secs has been released!

Awesome. Made it to the Blood Starved Beast last night in the Loran Chalice - getting closer to the Defiled Chalices.

By far, the one that pushed my shit in the most was Ebrietas - she can fuck right off. Stupid Cunt.

Her reach/damage was just insane.


Everything else hasn't been too bad once you learn from your mistakes/attack patterns.

So I just finished installing and starting up Bloodborne. You can tell the difference already on your first load up. Also love the fact that now they cycle through different items/objects in the load screen with a description of them. Better than looking at 'Bloodborne' every time.

Bloodborne guide. Over 550 pages of goodness. This is how a guide is supposed to be made; for a game where a guide can be useful from time to time.

It's probably the best guide I've ever purchased. It's fantastically made and quite in-depth. What makes it even more worth it is the fact that Bloodborne doesn't exactly explain anything to you and throws you into the world to figure it out for yourself. That's been a fun experience to learn as you go, but even a month after playing it, there are still so many things I had questions about (ie. importance of arcane, the exact effect of insight, etc.) that this guide can dispel for you.

I'm not the kind of guy that will use this guide as a crutch throughout the entire game; I like to experience things for myself, but this is a terrific thing to have when you are stuck or after you 'beat' the game and want to see what you missed on your first runthrough.

I haven't got anywhere in the game. I'm literally in the 1st area after the opening sequnce. I killed about 30 baddies and die every damn time.

Ordered one last week. At $22, it's a steal.

Nice! Sorry I haven't had a chance to respond to your PM. Been super swamped of late and when I've been free, I've found that Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has thoroughly sunk its teeth into me. My name is SethMode on PSN, btw.

Anyone playing these going to give Dark Souls a shot thanks to Bloodborne? Or, if you want to stick to PS4, Dark Souls 2?

Finally making some progress... this game is mega frustrating and super addicting.
