Mind. Blown.

I don’t know what to say.

Ten years and ten million playthroughs later, I just found out this thing existed as a weapon.

Personally, I have a love/hate relationship with Amygdala. I love its design, where it appears, the fear it generates, but I hate all of its damn boss fight

Platinum Got the platinum after 11 years!

25 Upvotes

I first bought this game on release despite never playing a FromSoft game, I knew it wasn’t going to be my favorite game but it was so hyped on release that I felt like I needed to get it, especially being a PlayStation exclusive. I struggled my way through the beginning, I think it took me 3-4 days to beat the cleric beast and finally start leveling. I had absolutely no idea how to properly make a build, I used the hunters axe and pumped tons into stamina because I was annoyed I couldn’t swing more lol. But spinning to win got me far! I made it through Rom and the One Reborn, Killed Amygdala and made it to the Nightmare of Mensis. I finally stalled out when I couldn’t beat Logarius, I tried for weeks and finally gave up because I couldn’t beat him and I couldn’t figure out the Nightmare of Mensis and didn’t understand the relation between insight and frenzy.

Fast forward to now, I decided to download it and try again, and after a very in-depth first playthrough (including DLC and Chalice Dungeons), I just finished new game plus 2 and let Gehrman wake me from the hunters dream for the platinum! What a crazy experience coming back after a decade and overcoming this monkey on my back. I’ll never be great at these games but it feels amazing to complete one fully. Just wanted to share my experience with the community after using a lot of advice from here! The Watchdog of the Old Lords can fuck off and die though, that one pushed me to my limits lol

Question So, Does Armor Actually Do Anything?

83 Upvotes

I decided to lock in and actually play Bloodborne after having about 8000 hours split amongst the trio and Elden Ring and uh, the armor is confusing. There's no real difference in defenses from what I've seen so far and I just got to Martyr Logarius. Am I missing something because I've just been kinda playing fashion souls?

Edit: Thank you to everybody that let me know. Because most of the armor stats are similar, it was confusing, but that little bit when negating as much damage as possible in Mr. Logarius' fight with arcane I think was actually noticeably better but I think for the most part I'm gonna run fashion unless I really need the boost in defenses.

Also, I found a recreateable out of bounds quit in Cainhurst castle if anybody is curious, but I'm not too sure if you can get anywhere with it.

Alright, alright. Last episode, we battled 3 lanky speed demons. They proved a worthy adversary, no doubt. Capra demon in a garden eh? 2 dogs? Adorable. Try these guys in the broom closet 🫦. 1st tried em with the parasite which is way too strong, & doesn't count lol. Pretty sure, the parasite even makes you take less damage, if caught during a dodge. I can say, this was the 2nd hardest thing i did in a video game. Pointless, but pretty funny.

So I just beat this cage head man and have been seeing the community discussion - apparently everyone hates him.

Is there a particular lore reasoning that I missed or are we collectively deciding to mess him up 😭

It's perfect, and provides more damage than the flat +77 bolt waning gem from the golden coffins. It only took around 10 kills, too.

My Hunter and Henryk on the Byrgenwyrth balcony, with Younger Madaras still outside where the fog wall will be

So, the documentation that I could find says that NPC summons in Byrgenwyrth can't come out onto the balcony until you've challenged Rom once. Well, after struggling for a few lives with the hostile NPC inside, I was able to walk out onto the balcony and convince Henryk to join me. So far, I haven't gotten Madaras to come out here but I'm gonna keep trying.

EDIT: I was somehow able to trade Henryk for Madaras. I didn't think I'd actually manage to get him out here.

Help Tips for Lady Maria

5 Upvotes

First of all, this fight is incredible! The music, the atmosphere, and honestly the cut scene jump scared me a bit lol. But for the life of me, I cannot seem to get the parry timing down for her, either I never get a shot off before she's on me, or I get her before her attack but outside the parry window. I've only gotten her past the first phase once on my second attempt, since then she kills me so quickly. Not to mention sometimes she just spams her gun and rushes me while I'm stunned. Any tips would be greatly appreciated as always!

Discussion Was Micolash fight always so easy?

1 Upvotes

Some background: I played Bloodborne for the first time a year ago but couldn't finish it. The thing is I remembered struggling against Micolash and I hated it so much. Right now I'm playing Bloodborne for the second time and I just beated Micolash in my second try. I even remembered him running away from me and teleporting through the mirrors, but that didn't happen this time. Wondering if that was a bug or something.

Fluff Hunter of Hunters

A single feather can embarrass a sword

when used with intent

merciful violence given to wailing fiends

the sound must cease

and blood given freely loses it's luster

Sickening wings unfurl, dissapating disease

with powerful gusts

She takes to the sky, and with one motion

the sound dies out

another colleague reduced to ash

one less familiar face

This comes as no surprise

as this was the chosen path

but even predators grow weary

when a single feather is all that remains

edit: these are lyrics from a bloodborne themed metal ep I'm working on

Discussion Finished playthrough no. 5

4 Upvotes

Played bloodborne again for past 4 days, as Halloween is coming. This time, planned to do bloodtinge run. Started on 22nd october, finished on 26th. Took 17 hours, for all 22 bosses (no chalices). I used many glitches, first to get to gorbidden woods quickly for summons, and thats why i got chikage after only 5 bosses. Used dup glitch for farming. Did many skips and shortcuts. Combining all this, I had a serious fun time. Didnt cheese a boss tho, like ai freeze and all, believed in myself i would beat them. Today only, defeated 10 bosses (amygdala, paarl,celestial emissary, erbitrus, lawrence,living failures, maria, kos, gehrman and moon presence)I will recommend you all as well, to try a run with such skips and all, really was a breather. Also in this run, I will say I did good (ludwig under 90 seconds, an epic battle). Boss like kos and ludwig, I have fought them twice only before, and all times took too much time and attempts. This time nope. Was really a fun run.
