Bloodborne thread

finally beat ludwig lol
took me 8 tries
I heard ludwig one hit kills you on NG+8 damn

I actually managed to kill him on my first try, but my character is pretty high level and I’m still on NG.

depends on your definition of missable, if your asking if there are weapons that you can go through the dlc without running into… heck yeah there is. but if the question is there any weapons in the dlc where you actually MISS them after killing a boss and can’t go back? no i don’t think so.

Yeah that’s what I meant. A weapon that if not obtained at a certain point then its gone for that play through.

Here’s the result of me completely going HAM this weekend.

Always heard about these dex/arc builds being really fun. Even the great Gasa said so.
Decided it was time to try it out for myself and i was having a BLAST doing invasions.

The char is lvl 85 with maxed out weps but not the highest ranking gems (chalice dungeon ones).
Milk**** special at the end of the clip.

[details=Spoiler]Moonlight Blade can be missed if you don’t kill Ludwig’s head after defeating him as a boss. It will disappear after you progress more into the game. Make sure you talk to him first for some flavor before killing him though (also try talking to him in Church garb).

Simon’s Blade can be missed if you don’t complete the Harrowed Hunter’s sidequest (I think). Talk to him in the Hunter’s Nightmare and tell him you’re fascinated with nightmares. You’ll see him pop up in zones after certain events (defeating Ludwig, raising the stairs in Research Hall). Once you reach the second lantern in the Fishing Hamlet, you’ll see him there and he will give you his weapon and a key to a cellar.

I think you can miss Bloodletter if you don’t complete the Harrowed Hunter’s sidequest, as you need the key he gives you at the end to kill Brador in his prison cell, who drops Bloodletter.[/details]

That’s it I think. The rest of the weapons you will likely find normally by just playing through the game.

Ok, I think I’ve got all that covered. Thanks.

Spoiler

Regarding Ludwigs head, if you put on church clothes or the Gascoines set you can talk to the head and receive the Holy Blade without killing him

Thanks for the spoiler tags, @Abbachio and @“Spirit Juice”. :tup: The courtesy is much appreciated.

You too, @Gasaraki.

Happened on my first run so I didn’t really notice/remember. At the very least, NAP can just look up on the Bloodborne fextralife wiki to see how to get all the new weapons without being spoiled too much.

Play the god damned DLC instead of crying about spoiler tags.

First Boss of DLC

Spoiler

Ludwig whooped my ass so bad. I an’t even get this guy down a quarter of his health. Now I am playing on NG+ so that might have a bit to do with it. He’s a fucking damage sponge it seems, my +10 Holy Blade tickles the guy. Gonna have to summon SRK Reinforcements if this keeps up. That move where he grabs the ceiling and then drops on you. Cheap as fuck lol.

Spoiler

When he grabs the ceiling, just sprint forward. He will miss every time.

I don’t want to give more advice unless you want it.

Dumb question but if you die and leave a pile of blood echoes somewhere do the enemies become actively more aggressive in order to prevent you from claiming them or something because it sure seems that way. Dudes that normally chill and let you sneak them are all of a sudden doing 3 hit death combos in shit lol. Seems to happen every time…

Nope. Sometimes enemies pick up your echoes though and you have to kill the enemy that picked them up. They will have glowing eyes if they have your echoes.

Some people have more important things to do that sit there the every day and play games all day.

So you’re saying you shouldn’t want to talk about Bloodborne or any part of the DLC until you have completed it all? That makes sense…

Oh yeah I know all about them claiming your echoes lol. I mean the AI specifically going ape shit on you in that situation, like regular dudes tanking blows that would normally stagger them and adding extra hits to their attacks.

I’m saying in all the time he bitched about spoiler tags, and posting on the forums he could have played and been done with the dlc by now. I’ve put in maybe 10 hours, and I’ve explored just about everything in the main game. Without help. From what I’ve been told by friends the DLC isn’t super fucking huge.

Also is there a way to fix the camera like in souls so you don’t get raped when there are alot of enemies on screen and you are trying to run/evade them. Just got fucked outta 50k echoes cause the camera jumping around like its trying to look on to something when I am just trying to get to safety.

Bruh I just barely realized I can use the other headstones to go to Hemwick and hypoean gaol lol.
