Nice, tempted to try that.

Leveled up a bit from 75 to 85 and beat Paarl, Amygdala and the last boss within an hour of each other.

Shame I dont have the true ending but oh well

Gotg so far easily, fee minor gripes here and there (farming, lack of builds) but overal a great streamlined souls.

How far are you?

Not far at all. Like, embarrassingly not far. I haven't gotten to the first boss yet and I keep fucking dying. I'm terrible at videogames, confirmed

Dont give up!

These chalice dungeon bosses are easily the hardest in the history of souls games. Jesus christ. Just started Depth 5 Pthumerian. Once I finish this I'll have platinumed the game, and then I don't want to play this again for a loooooooooooooong time.

It's crazy how fast blazing through this shit is when you stick to the main route, know what's worth stopping for and know the bosses. I save scummed to get both the endings I missed in one go, cause forget playing through a third time.

You should try some chalice stuff at the very least. The dungeons are kinda boring, but they have a ton of completely unique bosses that are kinda fun.

The Legend of Sunblade · « **Reply #250 on:** April 14, 2015, 09:49:20 AM »

Root Chalice dungeons are really fun. Some of the randomized arrangements in them can be so stresful, like this one dungeon I searched for that had two snatchers, like 7 generic mooks and a few wolves all cluttered together at the mouth of layer 1's entrance. I couldn't even get inside cause it wasn't worth the effort.

Ok I did a chalice dungeon and beat it cause I was pretty overleveled. Def see how this could be fun as it somehow was creepier then the the main game.

Bummer there seems to be no trophies for any bosses here.

Also how do I know that a chalice is done? I went to layer 3 and beat the boss and now there is nothing

That dungeon is done. The bosses in that dungeon should have dropped a root chalice (which lets you generate a randomized version of that dungeon) and a chalice for the next depth.

There's a trophy for beating the last boss of the last chalice dungeon. You also get a key item that seems to have a currently unknown purpose.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #254 on:** April 15, 2015, 03:31:32 AM »

Yeah I got the root thingy (didnt know that root meant random but From loves to obscure things and I think that adds to the charm a bit), I also got some maths to open up new chalice dungeons now.

There's an AI bug where some boss fights will do nothing but walk straight at you and do one move over and over. I thought it was limited to just normal-sized ones, but I guess not!

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #271 on:** April 17, 2015, 06:54:13 PM »

Yeah I knew about that bug but I also thought you literally had to have your game running for 12+ hours for it to happen. I always put my console into sleep so maybe that counts? I watched a video of someone beating that boss and it definitely does a lot more stuff.

The Legend of Sunblade · « **Reply #272 on:** April 17, 2015, 06:56:48 PM »

Mmm, I don't think that's 100% accurate. I definitely had the bug happen to me against a chalice dungeon boss (I complained about him on twitter and got told that he's supposed to have a lot more attacks) and I'd only been playing for like 1/2 that time.

The Legend of Sunblade · « **Reply #273 on:** April 17, 2015, 11:13:43 PM »

Undead Giant is the biggest piece of shit in the game. There's absolutely why this huge turd should be this god damn CHEAP in a depth 3 chalice dungeon.

Edit: Naturally, I take him down on the attempt right after I post this. Good riddance.

Played this for the first time in a few weeks tonight (putting it aside while I play through some longass rpgs in April/May and then I'll main Bloodborne) and played through the first segment of Old Yarnham. So much fun. Climbed up to the gattling gun fucker and he swiped at me and I dodged and he fell off the tower

Opened the shortcut below him and saved for the night. This is such a good game. I'm pretty excited because I never finished Dark Souls 1 since I lost my save halfway and never played Dark Souls 2; so excited to have 3 quality games of this stuff still to play. Really enjoy these games. Demon Souls was amazing.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #276 on:** April 18, 2015, 11:32:11 AM »

Rom went down pretty easy as well. And even made sure to restart the game so there wasn't a chance of it being bugged.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #277 on:** April 18, 2015, 01:24:33 PM »

Putting your PS4 to sleep with the game running makes the AI bug happen. You've either gotta close the application before you do it or completely turn off the PS4 between sessions.

Forbidden Woods might be the best level in the game start to finish. From the RE4 esque begining, to the las plagas mobs and the tension when you don't know what's going to come out from the bush right next to you. :laws

New patch dropped. Loading improvements and tweaks. Still no fix to frame pacing issues. Either FROM doesn't notice or care, or it's very hard to fix for them as I feared when the game released.

Are the rest of the Souls games this easy? In the end, the last few bosses and even optional bosses went down in one round. None of them after the One Reborn where that difficult. Though, the Wet Nurse was by far the most exciting boss battle with Gerhern also being pretty cool.

I've heard NG+ is harder, but I was also able to kill the Cleric Beast there pretty easily.

Fantastic game though.

I'm kind of unsure if I want to play any of the Souls game. What I liked about BB was how quick the game was, with it's emphasis on aggressive combat. I don't think the other Souls games are like that.

The Legend of Sunblade · « **Reply #288 on:** April 30, 2015, 03:26:06 PM »

I don't know if Bloodborne is "easier" than the rest of the souls series so much as it's a lot friendlier towards being aggressive and actually puts every boss fight at your level, where even giant dudes suffer through the same mechanics you do. I was surprised at how much more intuitive stunning enemies with guns was than trying to parry their attacks with shields. A lot of the later boss fights in Dark Souls 1/2 are just outright cheap rather than difficult too. It's a little hard to compare.

Also funny that you say the One Reborn was hard, cause he as a chump for me. Ebrietas, Paarl and some of the Chalice dungeon bosses would constantly wreck me though, specially the later. Do those if you haven't already, I'm pretty sure their difficulty is "fixed" outside of NG+ rules.

Give NG+ new content (bell ringers in most areas, monsters, etc.) also give a way to farm blood rocks in the main game

A bug of the Rifle Spear has been fixed.
A bug with Blood Gem Imprints has been fixed.
Boss rewards in the Chalice Dungeons will be improved, they will now drop blood gems randomly.
Chalice dungeons will now include Blood Stone Shards at Depth 1, Twin Blood Stone Shards at Depth 2, Twin Blood Stone Shards and Blood Stone
Chunks at Depth 3, Blood Stone Chunks at Depth 4 and Blood Stone Chunks and Blood Rocks at Depth 5.

Got back to playing this after taking about a month break 3 bosses in, and spent the day on Vicar Amelia and then Hemwick and then re-specing my character that all STR and no VIT/END. Gained like 15 levels today lol. Now I'm just entering the Forbidden Woods with VIT/END/STR at 22/22/26 in a more balanced setup using +6 Saw Cleaver and +5 Kirkhammer 2H. Before I was 15/16/26 and just was dying in 2 hits from everything >_<

Game is real fun, but lost so many souls in frustrating dying today

Got so lost in forbidden forest

Still haven't tried fighting a giant boar cause have bad memories from that first boar in Dark Souls

Missed the first bloodstone chunk in the forest with 3 snake heads. Will try to find it and grab it next time. Wondering if I should do some optional area stuff before moving on in Bygr~~~, can get to the old workshop, and cainhurst castle and unseen village and apparently nightmare of something right now. Still using saw cleaver (+6) with 24/24/28 VIT/END/STR atm.
