This happened for me too. If you die/go to hunter's dream his loot should respawn at the top of the tower

I think depth 3 chalice (pthumeru) is reaching mid to late main game difficulty. depth 5 is probably going to be a pain.

Yeah. Depth 3 is where things start to get dicey. I'm stuck on the depth 3 layer 3 Pthumerian Labyrinth boss. It's rom, but in a tiny ass room. Such a pain.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #189 on:** April 05, 2015, 04:39:47 PM »

Pre Rom, I don't think the Unseen Village was all that bad outside of Paarl. Post Rom with the blood moon in the sky......fuck that. And especially fuck those old women wearing the robes. I've died way too many times by those bitches looking for the lady with the bell to stop them from coming back. I finally gave up and just sprinted through it and then found that lantern right afterward. Not to mention the three incredibly tough guys hanging out in that large room or those mass of corpse things that roam the streets in place of the pigs that were there before.

So yeah. I agree. Fuck that place.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #190 on:** April 05, 2015, 05:14:54 PM »

Go down the stairs where the pig used to come up. That path leads to the next boss.

Welcome to the Unseen Village part 1. Remember to get that lantern while you're there otherwise you wont be able to come back until later in the game.

.....

Meanwhile.....

Ya know, the closer I am to finishing this the less I'm liking it. I guess Dark Souls kinda shit the bed towards the end too but I remember wanting to immediately go back and try it again afterwards. Whenever I finally slog my way past the last boss I don't think I'll want to touch this for a good long while. I'm good. I don't need to see anymore. I think from the Forbidden Forest onward really soured me.

Aight, don't own the game so I have questions for Souls veterans:

How varied can a character build be?
In general, whats the best build when it comes to attributes?
What's the most OP weapon thus far when fully upgraded?

1) character builds are basically the same across the board in Bloodborne and nothing at all like it is in the other Souls games. Theres next to no variance here. Sure you can plunk points into shit like arcane or bloodtinge but in the end everyone is the same quick character that swings a handful of the same weapons.

2) I don't know about the best but it seems like most of the weapons outside of lone or maybe two of them are governed by strength. IMO strength, vitality, endurance, and skill (in that order) play the biggest role. I'm still not sure just what the fuck bloodtinge is good for and arcane is somewhat useful on certain weapons but largely unnecessary in the end.

3) my weapon of choice is Ludwig's Holy Blade. I'm not sure if it does the most damage but it does a hell of a lot, the moveset is pretty handy, it's relatively quick when compared to the Kirkhammer, and the two handed charged thrust can be devastating. I also really like the Tonitrus with its electrical damage.

Got the lantern, and opened the side door. Also got this weapon that has electric on it. When charged up it's more powerful than the Kirkhammer. May have to experiment with it a bit. I also explored the dungeon area where you spawn and found a path that lead to a fucking big electric boss and bailed the hell out of there.

The dude in the wheel chair in Hunter's Dream said to scale Oeden and I did but I don't have the key to the door. And now the fucker is gone!

Managed to beat the two Hunters outside the Cathedral area in one. The first with the electric weapon, the other with the gunsword. The latter was a real sonofabitch but I just had to drop the Kirkhammer on his head a few times.

I ran right into the middle of the The One Reborn and just hacked away at him. There seemed to be some kind of glitch where I wasn't taking any damage at all outside of all that acid or poison he shoots or spits up towards the end. It was hard to tell just what the hell was really happening in that fight because I was under his asshole for nearly the whole thing.

And you're nearly at the end. Just a couple more sections.

Just finished it up. Overall I think DS1 > DS2=Bloodborne

Bloodborne really won me over early with it's hugely better world design, but the complete lack of equipment, broken PVP/online and removal of build diversity started to sour me a bit. Overall, they're all awesome, but even with DS1's mediocre latter quarter it's still the best of the three. I haven't played Demon's Souls yet so I can't comment on that.

DS1 was my first souls game but I gave up early on, I played DeS 4 years later and finished it with a guide. Playing Bloodborne more blind as its less obtuse. Def wanna try DS2 now.

DemonS i accidentally attacked some critical character in the hub early on. it made progress back to the hub hell, every time (would immediately get chased), when i finally beat him from saving up 30 things of wheat grass or whatever, it felt the same as beating most final bosses in games, at which point i gave up the game and called it a success $:-\$

for me it's DS1 > Bloodborne = Demon's. online puts DS1 over Bloodborne for me. it's not just the brokenness, it's how invasions are handled, covenants, etc.

Yep, definitely. Both its implementation as well as the fact as the netcode somehow got worse between DS2 and this make this the lesser of the three when it comes to the online aspects.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #215 on:** April 06, 2015, 08:58:44 PM »

I definitely think Dark Souls is better than Bloodborne. Bloodborne's combat feels better than Dark Souls and it's obviously graphically superior but in every other way I think DS1 is a better experience overall. From character customization to world design DS1 trumps Bloodborne.

And speaking of world design, I always loved how interconnected the world of Dark Souls was. I remember how amazed I was when I opened up shortcuts in the game that would unexpectedly lead me back to Firelink. I think I only got that one time in Bloodborne when I got lost in the Forbidden Forest and ended up going into the back of Losefka's Clinic and even then it wasn't that big of a deal. I never wanted to go back that way ever again.

I don't think Bloodborne is a bad game or anything but it's no Dark Souls.

Thank you for answering. I had the feeling that build options and actual RPG elements would be culled, since every piece of gameplay had similar player characters doing the exact same stuff.

Reddit cracked it. Basically if you kill the dogs in the Forbidden Woods village while they're still caged and come up here through the poison lake it freaks the game out and keeps counting them as dying when you cross a certain threshold.
