Real quick

Made my way to Cainhurst, enjoyed the winter scenery, made my way through the castle and got up to Logarius.

Too many distractions to concentrate tonight (died really stupidly :snoop:) but tomorrow?

I put it on to play a little before the Spurs/Warriors game cause my girl wanted to watch me play, and it was Shadow of Yharnam time. Fireball guy was really pissing me off the first few times I tried, so I made it my mission to eliminate him as quick as possible. Little did I know that there were repercussions for such a strategy. Died a few times to them stupid ass transformed long range attacks, and said fukk it, I'm going inside. Got in and started fukking them up, got it down to 1, and then gigantic ass snakes started coming out of the ground :dwillhuh:. It lunged after me and I ran like hell until he went away. After that, I figured that I should end it quick, so I went right at the last one's bytch ass and put him down. Finally.

Took both a bit longer and was shorter than I expected. I didn't know what to expect at first, and the bosses usually don't take me that long to get, but when I got in there and died a couple times to fireball guy, I thought it was gonna take me forever to kill 'em. Went back and cashed my echoes before I cut it off for the game. I'm assuming the place that Alfred brought up a couple times is up next. Good times.

Logarius is fairly easy once you know how to dodge his attacks. Darkbeast Paarl and Ebrietas were the only bosses that gave me a lot of trouble in the main campaign.

Anyways, updates on the DLC, beat Lady Maria, she was ALOT easier than Ludwig cause her attacks weren't as devastating as the Ludwigs.

I got a video in the other Bloodborne thread of my fight with Lady Maria. Got her first try, but probably used 10 or 11 blood vials. Her and the things before her were definitely the easiest DLC bosses.

I'm gonna be real though, Ebrietas made me put the game down for MONTHS. It's probably my favorite boss fight now, but at the time on my first playthrough, she made me tap out. :mjcry:

I hated this game at first because I kept dying, but this game is the absolute truth once you get all the weapons. Game becomes a whole lot easier (and a whole lot more fun) after you get the stronger weapons.

Updates :francis:

Didn't have anywhere else to check out except the Lecture Hall so I went after avoiding it all this time. It's not really intimidating at all honestly, it's just dark. :ld: The students that show up looking like flan in a cap and gown die in 1-2 hits and that's the extent of the threat in the area. There's a room where there's like 10 of them and they seem to give up a good amount of echoes (went in with 669, left with 14k) so I might use this place to farm later on. I get to the door at the end of the hall and open it without even reading the text....I ended up in the Nightmare Frontier. :lupe: Right off the bat, it's a nice change in scenery with the fields, but I don't get too much time to enjoy it because apparently there's a sinister bell ringing woman somewhere summoning actual players to invade my game. :stopitslime: I only fought 2 of them. Got my ass whooped in the first fight, and took the second invader down with ease and got all my echoes back from the first fight. Only netted 30-something thou total. :ld: At this point I'm debating on switching to offline because I really want to just explore the place, but I eventually find where the bell woman was hiding and take her out from the back. :camby: There's also 2 NPC hunters in the area but they're hardly worth mentioning at my current power. :sas1: Now I can actually explore this new area. :blessed: These new beast like things with mouths that look like infected p*ssy only look intimidating but actually go down in 3 swipes for me. Same goes for those squid looking things that thrive in the poisonous water (which is the only kind of water this area has to offer apparently :martin:). I pick up various cold blood stones and runes scattered about and end up in this field with these giant looking dudes that like to throw rocks. And I'ma tell you right now, these rocks do more damage than they ought to. Almost 2/3rds of my health bar? Even getting hit by the debris? Word? :francis: Luckily they're so slow, it's easy kill them or get behind them for a visceral. It's about 3 more of these dudes in the area as well, so I try to creep up behind one while I see the other one standing on a cliff that's about an entire valley away. There's no way he can throw that rock far enough to reach me, right? :lupe:

Now I have to constantly be on the run because apparently these are rocks with heat seeking missiles inside of them. :fohch: Getting past all of that, I find the first shortcut that's a falling statue placed closer towards the lamp. Now, what happens next is something where I can show you better than I can tell you.



I had to use a Bold Hunter's Mark just to get out of there. :snoop:

Redid everything for the echoes and peace of mind and made sure not to end up in that spot again. :martin: At this point, I think I'm going to make some progress now at least, so on the upper path where I was supposed to go, there's this branching left path that even has little glowing dots (shining coins probably) to light the way to an item that's sitting on top of a dead corpse. This must be a really important item if From Software decided to light a pathway towards it! Whatever could it be? :hamster: Is it a powerful rune? :jbhmm: Perhaps a weapon? :lupe: A quality bloodstone? :whoo: An outfit with a higher defense stat than the one I've been wearing since the start of the game? :brilliantshawty: The curiousity is killing me! :damn: Let me see what this item is that has been placed ever so careful in front of me-

Instead, let's have this spider creature push the player off a cliff down into the poisonous water caverns lurking below the entire area with more squid monsters, where you move as if trying to walk in quicksand with you get slowly poisoned every step of the way, thereby forcing the player to roll around by mashing circle and spend the stamina they need to fight said squids efficiently!

I guess I should consider myself lucky that they didn't factor in fall damage for this. :pacspit: Again, the squid enemies go down in 2-3 hits but trying to manuver in that water is an absolute pain in the ass. At this point, my blood pressure is building like Beanie Sigel in 2000 eating the greasiest of cheesesteaks. :comeon: I roll around like a godamn idiot towards the way out only to be greeted by EVEN MORE squid monsters, and some more of those giants that throw Stinger missiles disguised as boulders. :martin: I make my way back up to where the item was, and it turns out all it was was a Coldblood flower required for some chalice ritual. :fohch: Right about now, I'm just ready to turn this bytch off and get something to eat but I keep on going. End up in some caverns where another giant was perched for an easy visceral and some squid creatures that actually thrive on land for once. The way this area was set up though, there was no way to go but down into more of the poison water, so I fall down, killing some squid monsters and figure I'm gonna have to roll my way through all this to move forward. So I'm killing some squids, keeping an eye on the poison meter but guess what brehs? :whiteparadise: YET ANOTHER fukkING ROCK THROWING GIANT IN THE DISTANCE WITH A PERFECT HOMING ROCK THAT KILLS ME RIGHT THEN AND THERE. :pacspit::pacspit::pacspit::pacspit::pacspit::pacspit:

I get my souls back, use another Hunter's Mark, level up some, and cut the PS4 right the fukk off. :snoop:

I grabbed something to eat, took a little break, and dive right back into it because I didn't come this godamn far for nothing. :ufdup: Since this other water area is the only place left to go, I pretty much roll like hell avoiding damn near everything just to get past this bullshyt and try to find another shortcut that's close to a boss area that leads back to the lamp. Further up down here, I find a pathway leading up to the giant that killed me and savored every bit of the visceral I killed him with. :ohlawd: I go back down thinking things will be easier, only to find what looks like a new cave with, YOU GUESSED IT :beli:, ANOTHER rock throwing giant in front of it. Short work is made of this motherfukker and I'm just ready for it all to be over. Well guess what nikka? It aint. :umad: This is another cavern with poisonous water so I get to rolling as usual (this is so fukking dumb), but in here, other than your average squids, there's something else lurking in these waters. :lupe: Something that sounds like singing infact. :merchant: I use an antidote and blood vial I didn't even need to go see what it was. Brehs....it's some new type of enemy that looks like Mother Brain from Metroid. :wtf: I didn't even get a chance to take it all in because it shuffles towards you at light speed, and to me that only means one thing, this is one of those bullshyt enemies that can kill you in one or two blows. :damn: I swing my axe like crazy and it actually goes down in 3 hits, but my frenzy meeter is activated and it's moving faster than it ever has before...even after the thing died. :qpwtf: Frenzy maxed out and took most of my life bar with it. :mindblown: Mashing triangle like a madman, I go towards the exit of this cave...only to find another one of those brain enemies lurking outside. :damn: I don't even bother going for a visceral and just kill the thing....and once again it almost killed me. :sadbron: Right now I'm just trying to get the fukk up outta here and see 2 paths branching left and right. Towards the left is what looks like a boss arena and I run back like a bytch because I aint about this Bloodborne life no more today .:mjcry: Right path had an elevator of sorts that led to the beginning of the map with the lamp. I tucked my tail between my legs and went right back to the Hunter's Dream with the doll. At least she won't hurt me. :mjcry:

This DLC is crazy man...

I got bold and wanted to take out...Laurence and was humbled pretty quickly. It was tough for me to reconcile having to primarily not lock on. this battle although not as hard as Ludwig imo but still i had a worse experience with the camera against Laurence. I went in with many different strategies, but I failed every time.

I decided to come back to him after I beat Kos... Didn't realize it would only take me two tries. I had a way harder time just trying to get to this nikka. This is what truly makes this game unique what's the hardest boss for you might easy af to me and vice versia!


....now back to fukk boy no. 2 Laurence.

I decided to take my sweet time with Laurence. Not locking on seemed to help more and more. His pattern suddenly began to appear simple. I got him down to his last 25 percent and I got greedy...I was flattened... But I smelled blood.

Next time once I got Laurence down to his 2nd form I switched to the bow blade and really took my time popping shots at his face.The combination of the Lava and swipes made space the key at this point in the battle. Once he began to go ham spitting lava at me I didn't give a fukk... Nothing... Could stop my blade from freeing him.

I was now down to my last bit of health and I was too close to heal comfortably... I saw a brief opening...time slowed down as I began to slash away at the last bit of Laurence's health but alas I realized my hunter stopped attacking.....



I RAN OUT OF STAMINA!!


:sadcam:



Time began to speed back up, the b*stard was already in motion of a God Hand Slap that would surely crush my hunter, my ego, and ultimately my soul. I mashed R1 with my Ludwig Holy Blade...desperate...please for the love god...






SUCCESS!!! Somehow I struck him down before he could get off his swipe and I couldn't stop mashing R1 long after he was dead....DEAD ASS this was me ya'll as Clarence Williams III




FALL!!! GET THE fukk DOWN



We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood.
