Trying to kill the big thing with an axe.
Fuck parrys trading hits now and fuck needing to be close enough to pick it’s fucking nose to ripost.
That is all.
Aw man, you had me going for a second. That’s just the Beast Roar item, which is absolutely badass btw, but yeah it’s an unlimited use item that consumes bullets on use. This basically DOES have magic, they’re just items and consume ammo instead now
A well timed parry shouldn’t trade.
Just got to Old Yharnam, attempted fighting the guy shooting at me and got fucking decimated. Currently in the area with all the wolves on the streets below, without telling me exactly where, is there a lantern coming up or do I have miles of hell yet before the next?

You have to buy the Holy Blade. I don’t remember which badge you need to unlock it at the shop.
There’s only one lantern and you use it already. The best you got going for you is unlocking a shortcut.
Man I see what some of the critism about lack of lamps are. I was k8cking ass for so long and fought my way past those monsters while minigun guy was being a bitch. No lamp.
Killed the hunter who was a prick then fought through another giant ass sea of dark areas filled with the same kind of enemies for what like a straight hour to conserve health vials. No checkpoint lamp.
Then after all that there’s an even DARKER area filled with fucking werewolves hidden in tight spaces trying to sneak attack you through fucking walls! No biggie I trust nothing and see it coming and barely ever get hit. Kill all the wolves with like no damage taken then on the exit from this dark town there MORE fucking enemies trying to attack you. And oh yeah they have poison lol, don’t get hit by any of it through and run through the even them. STILL NO FUCKING LAMP!
Whatever, I’m feeling myself got like 15k souls or blood whatevers. Saw this big church like building surrounded by fire and I’m like “that a boss battle isnt it? Nah that’d be dumb as hell right after all that” NOPE BOSS BATTLE! Bullshit, whatever I’m the fucking best! Counter city baby! BUT NOPE the game FREEZES for a sec and I’m stuck in place too long and the boss kills me in combo even with all my health upgrades. Worst part 8s I almost had him killed
So now I have to fight through all that shit all over again for like 30 mins to a hour at least just to reach the damn boss! That bad design I’m sorry. I can deal with game difficulty but this shit is so tedious. I hate whiners about games being to hard but the people saying shit checkpoints spacing have legit as fuck complaints to me.
You know you can just run past all of the wolfmen and hop on the ladder to get Djura(mini-gun guy). It’s not even far. Like, it’s less than a minute of running at most. I just did it to get that Stake-Driver.
The other boss, the Bloodstarved beast, can also be ran to in under a minute if you find the shortcut.
This game doesn’t need a lot of lamps, the shortcuts are ridiculous, you just have to find them.
Did you unlock the shortcut? There should be one near where you fought the hunter with the Gatling gun. You can skip a good portion with it.
There a fucking ladder? Where?
What do you get when you kill minigun guy?
Keg Hunter badge.
You gain access to purchase,
The Stake-Driver:
http://bloodborne.wiki.fextralife.com/file/view/stake_driver.jpg/545542568/stake_driver.jpg
It’s a pilebunker(basically a piston with a spike on one end) with it’s spike end sharpened and flatten like a blade. Instead of transforming the stake-piston shortens as it locks itself in, and when you do a heavy attack it shoots out violently doing a ton of damage in a very short range. Light and heavy attacks in unlocked mode are pretty standard blade swipes, light attacks in locked mode are series of right jabs that stun lock(most enemies).
You also get the the Rifle-Spear:
http://bloodborne.wiki.fextralife.com/file/view/rifle_spear.jpg/545542422/rifle_spear.jpg
It’s exactly what it says it is.
It uses your bullets too, so I guess you can have a non-gun in your off hand without worrying about not being able to stun enemies.
It has a good charge attack that makes you run forward a bit, and obviously good poking attacks.
I hear the actual bullet damage is negligible unless you build for projectile damage. That said that how it is for most of the actual bullet shoots guns in the game.
Besides that you get a few items IRC that you can buy like flammable oil bombs and such.
You can actually do what I did and get the Rifle-Spear from a hidden path that’s about halfway between the lantern and the mini-gun boss. In the room are a ton of wolfmen(that you can just dodge and run past), the Rifle-Spear, and the Charred Hunter’s set, as seen in my picture a few posts above.
I didn’t get either of those for killing the Minigun dude in Old Yharnam. Wtf?
You buy them from the messagers at Hunter’s Dream. Whenever you get a badge new stuff becomes available for purchase.
I know. All I have in the shop besides the hammer is the Holy Blade, and I’ve already bought that.
Also, what determines whether or not the Insight shop is open?

[/quote]Well fuck I take back most of what I said then. This game goes back to being godlike lol
You have to have at least 10 insight or it’ll close.
When I do co-op I often get awful players to help me. I feel the counterhit health mechanic is a contributing factor to why people are sucking in combat right now. I’ve seen too many times how my partner will endlessly attack an enemy to regain health when at times it would be smarter to pop blood. When you fighting a boss and drop to half health take a step back and heal. I have dudes trying to be a hero to get health back.
Why not put the consumables on square instead of going into your inventory to throw them? It seems that everyone is killing the Cleric with molotovs, I found it easier to parry him with the pistol. If you get the timing right he collapses in front of you and then you just stab him in the face a few times.
Finally beat the Spider. The boss become easy once I decided to ignore the adds and unleash the full fury of the Thor’s hammer.
EDIT: [spoiler=]What the fuck! After killing the Spider the moon turns red and there are Cthulhus everywhere. What did I do?[/spoiler]
