Official Thread Bloodborne

Maybe you didn't read the post properly. I've cleared multiple bosses in co op. I have all the required bells. That was not my question.

Yeah it was late I missed part of what you said. My bad.

I think you are asking if you beat a area can you use the Bec Bell or why can't you use it afterwards?
 
Kind of thinking about restarting the game, as I've only beaten the first boss so far. I was reading someone talking about weapons later in the game so I checked out a list and based on what sounds interesting I may want to go a different route starting out. I started with military veteran but may want a bit more in bloodtinge.
 
Beat Amelia twice last night. Once in coop and once in my own game. She is easily the toughest boss yet and far more like something from the souls games . got a spanking from her the first time I battled her. Armour with physical resistance is a must.

Question, I notice after you beat a boss in an area you can no longer ring the beckoning bell. Is that the same for everyone? Want to grind out some blood with a buddy last night after beating ameila but once the boss was down I couldn't summon any more.

[Valliance related edit] For clarity, the beckoning bell does not ring but the resonant bell does.

Surprisingly I had the least amount of issues with Amelia. I beat her 2nd try no issues. I didn't even try the first time because I came across her before BSB, and I was confused. BSB, on the other hand, ugh. That was a struggle.
 
And killed another boss on my 2nd try, close to the end now, but need to upgrade a lot on my weapons. Also I may need to return to kill the castle boss.

What's your favourite weapon so far? Melee and firearm.

Hunter Axe for ranged melee, Tonitrus for close melee and for firearms I just use Hunter pistol (I more use firearms as backup).

One would infer from this that it's not a waste to level the hunter axe early in the game. I liked the dmg boost I saw so used 3 of my 4 blood... forgot the name, but crafting materials at any rate.

Should I have held on to them or is it all good?

You'll get loads of blood gems for leveling weapons so I wouldn't worry about it. I have the kirk hammer at +3 and the saw at +3 and I still have around 50 blood gems in storage

Well the range of the hunter axed has sow far helped me on a lot of the bosses, when you get to the forest there is a lot of crafting materials to be found, I upgraded the axe to level 6, and the ranged strong damage are sending most enemies flying, I did try the Holy Blade, but does not work as well at groups of enemies and I feel the swing attack is needed.

Also with the hunter axe I can easy reach places on a boss that would be harder to hit else, but it is all about how close you are to the boss and the weak spots.
Tonitrus I have even leveled up more, are at level 9 with that one and works very well on enemies and later bosses.

Could also explorer the Chalice dungeons for crafting material, on some of the deeper levels should be able to find.

Does anyone have strong opinions for or against the pistol or blunderbuss?

I chose blunderbuss, but notice most all Youtube vids are using the pistol. Should I restart since I'm still early into it, or does it not matter?

You unlock all the weapons fairly quickly so I wouldn't bother to reset based solely on that. The pistol has great range but the blunderbus has a great stun mechanic.

How is the blunderbus stun any different than the pistol? Larger timing window?

The pistol has the stun ability too, correct?


Extremely random question:

When you look at this game in your PS4 home screen and drop down into the "overview" of the game, is there a background image of the game for you? This is one of those few games where there's no picture for me, just making sure it's for everyone, and not an installation issue on my side.
 
This is going to have to be a strictly weekend game for me. Takes a lot of concentration and I just want to chill after a day at work. But man I'm looking forward to Friday.

Reached Nightmare Frontier and had my first invasion. Wrecked him easily, he healed after bowing but I still got him. What an amazing looking place to have my first invasion. It fit so well. This game....

High bloodtinge plus bone marrow ash equals Paarl dead in 6 shots to the face. Didn't even get close.

The pistol more staggers than stuns. Overall i think I prefer the pistol simply based on the range.

I'll check the overview image when I'm on again and let you know.
 
night mare frontier is the biggest load of bulls***. ive had to fight two human hunters at once, whilst simultaneously fighting AI wolves who im certain couldnt spot the other hunters, only me. then theres the poison rivers, the rocks at kill you in one hit, the enemy who drains 3/4 of your health just by looking at you, then the boss fight. and if you die once, bac to the start. and not only that, but i've used up all of my vials so i ned to farm before i can even try again. goddamit
 
Damn, I thought I found a cheese move against the dude at the Graveyard, Father something or other. I'm chipping away at his health by keeping the gravestones in between the two of us and I'm thinking I got this. Then I get his health to about 50% and he transforms and is able to run right through any obstacles and slay me. RAWWWWR! :smash:
 
Started over last night going milquetoast and hunter axe. My first character was military veteran but I wanted a more level start for all stats. And watching video of the axe looked awesome as hell.
 
Been using some time on the Dungeons, bought myself a new armor:

Killed the Castle boss, joined my first covenant, bought new armor once more and have now a sweet katana:

crown is not part of the set:

Very quick the katana, if it not been for that it drains my health it may have been a good weapon against some of the bosses.
