Bloodborne is AWESOME

[Neil Tyson]

Exactly, dudes bragging about not being casual when they low key calling themselves lames

I'm not in high school anymore where I can spend 100+ hours in a game, I got a life outside my living room. I can respect a challenge but not about invest countless hours into any game

Don't make excuses for whining. Especially on a gaming board.

Noob question, but how do I use molotovs and pebbles


I just started playing today. I got 10 of these joints, and I want to know how to use em before I go along to far and get raped. Also, I'm assuming the Lamps is how I save my progress right? If I die and go back to where I got killed, all I have to do is beat the enemies that merked me and I get my Blood Echoes back?



I'm lost af brehs

Lamps are save points, checkpoints. You can beat the enemies and collect your blood echoes.

You can also just run past difficult enemies quickly to get to the next lamp like i did, come back and clean house. Hunters are a bit more difficult to escape though.

How do I use molotovs? There's like 7 Hunters in the street and I see a dog chillin' but I don't want to engage without knowing how to burn these nikkas

 

[Kuwaiti_dude]

Yeah. But some of the bosses are a real bytch, and can be a huge roadblock for you unless you co-op it.

Spoiler: This motherfukker

he makes the flamelurker look like a bytch
had to co-op for him and the orphan of bullshyt.
gonna get him on my new skill build though with the beasthunter saif

option button > inventory (the lower section) > equip the molotovs and throw them with the square button
I think you might want to save them for the wolves on the bridge though, they are much harder than the street fodder.
EDIT: those are not hunters btw.

I have 2 kids, a wife, and very high stress career where i can work 60-100 hours a week.

I still beat the game with 4 characters and all other in game content---meaning I got the yharnam stone 4 times.

In a new game, I could probably get all the way up to vicar Amelia without dying once.


This game is actually very easy and most enemies are predictable.

I though bloodborne was just a hack-n-slash game like god of war or dynasty warriors, so I started out mashing r1 and getting my ass-kicked. Once you realize that this is basically a fighting game, which requires fighting-game like strategy and timing, you will never die except in the ultra-hard depth 5 chalice dungeons.

This is the only game I have on ps4. I put maybe 1000 hours into it since it came out in April. I still play it whenever I have free time mainly to finalize builds and play pvp

Thanks

If you want to be more precise at throwing, it's better if you target an enemy with R3 first then their your pebbles / Molotovs. Otherwise you'll just be wasting them

the lamps in this game are PERFECTLY placed...get better youngin

3 days is some casual shyt but if this really is your first game from this series i ain't mad

Once you get used to the thought process you need to get through these games you can jump into any of the other ones like it's nothing. I mean, you'll probably get fukked up but what you gotta understand is it doesn't really matter. Especially your echoes, fukk them shyts. You'll have them coming out your ass sooner or later. Treat every life like a learning experience. Cop some bold hunter's marks (Eileen the crow lady gives you a couple when you meet her). Use those and you can teleport back to the lamp so you can go spend your echoes in case you're holding onto a whole lot at once. Still though and i repeat, fukk the echoes breh. Despite how it may appear, being slightly under leveled doesn't really make a difference as far as the difficulty goes. People finish the game at level 4. Main thing is keep your weapon up to date, if you can upgrade it, do it.

I'm a noob to this game and I've never played any of the Souls joints, but I have to agree. After I beat the Cleric Beast, I just splurged damn near all of my Echoes on shyt... cause I know chances are with me having no idea what's lurking around the next corner, I'd get destroyed and lose them shyts.

The way the game plays basically makes you use them ASAP, and I'm typically a guy that hoards currencies in games... not in this one. fukk that.

My MO is if I got enough for 3-5 levels I'll cash them in. At the same time having a high level really won't make your life that much easier which is a misconception. A lot of people I've seen quit these games die and lose a bunch of souls/echoes and say "fukk this shyt, I'm out." Having 5 extra vitality or a few more points in strength won't make that next boss fight any easier. There are fringe cases where if you had a pixel more health you would have survived but that doesn't happen often. Biggest advantage you can give yourself is having your weapon as decked out as possible. Other than that you just gotta learn the fights and execute. Not locking on can be better in a few fights so experiment with that too.

Also the Threaded Cane is pretty wack as a starter weapon if you're new. Basically asking to play on hard mode. It becomes highly later on but until then it's real weak. Saw Cleaver, Hunters Axe and Ludwigs Holy Blade (not accounting for playstyle, strongest weapon in the game) are all better options.

I picked the Threaded Cane... I knew the stats were lower than the other options but I didn't even care. I also figured that it probably turns into a beast after a few upgrades. I already Fortified it once



I upped my Vitality, Stamina and Strength after beating the Beast. I think I'll value Stamina and Strength going forward to make my attacks hit even harder based on your thoughts about Health

The cane scales with your skill stat breh

If you've been pushing strength and not touched skill I'd suggest picking up the hunters axe and see how you feel about it. The trick mode charge attack is overpowered as fukk. Not saying vitality isn't worth leveling up but a couple points isn't really life or death a lot of the time. Obviously you wanna keep that pool of health growing as you move forward and enemies get stronger. What I was getting at was losing some echoes here and there isn't a big deal. It's more about keeping it moving. Hit that next lamp, you'll be alright. The game is designed to give you more than you need so if you're the type to run back to Hunter's Dream whenever you have some echoes on you you'll wind up ahead of the curve. You can straight up run passed most shyt and you won't be underpowered for the next boss. When you beat a boss and get that stimulus there's always a lamp right there so you can go and cash them in. Making it clear for ya'll new dudes that dying and losing your echoes doesn't mean shyt, unless it was the big ass bonus you got from a boss in which case you fukked up

When it comes leveling your character's stamina it's more about how good you feel about the amount of swings you can get on your weapon. 25 is enough for most builds and even then you don't have to race there. It's more of a question of feel. For you strength if that's what your're feeling or skill, get that up to 25. Right around there you start getting diminishing returns so it's a good spot to sit at while you're upgrading your weapons and whatnot. Push your vitality up as you go along. It's a "you can't go wrong stat" tbh. Keep pushing till you 40 on it and you'll be good for NG and NG+ even. It's plenty. The Holy Blade is pretty dope if you get that, that goes off both strength and skill so you can push the two of those to 25. Once you've got your vitality to 40 and your skill to 25 start pushing your strength or skill to 50 (if you're doing one). If you copped the Holy Blade a lot of people go 40/40. When you did all that shyt you most likely finished the game.


Main things

1. Can't go wrong with vitality.
2. 25 stamina is alright. 40 is the cut off, you don't get any more after that.
3. The attack stats have diminishing returns at 25 and severe diminishing returns at 50.
4. No need to fukk with arcane and bloodtinge on your first character

the optional boss in the DLC is real bullshyt

Way too fukkin hard on NG+

Might just give up on it its just a boring reskin anyway, its no fun to fight like all the other bosses.
