Everything works well with it. Transformation attacks boost the bar the most

i don't know that it matters too much, other than you might not like the game and not want the dlc. all of the DLC stuff is in the game as it stands, and buying the DLC just gives you access to the key that unlocks it. the DLC is late-game material, but it has some unique weapons that you might want to dip in there at a certain point and get. i'd say play for a little bit, see if you like it, and then buy the DLC once you know, because it's just more awesome poo poo.

I did this and it takes some getting used to but it's really really fun and the move set is really versatile.

I did a saw cleaver run because everyone talks about how good it is and it it's really sweet so I tried the beasts hunter saif and it's like the saw cleaver but better

It kills me every single time, I've died like 15 times to that attack. My advice is to stay close enough so that he doesn't trigger it

well, i haven't fought him since the patch, but the main thing is that he really only does that at range, and sticking close to him will stop him from trying it. if you get caught unawares, then i think it's just tricky timing.

blades of mercy fuckin rule with pellets. if you pop one at the beginning of the rom fight you can get her to like less than half hp if you get a good combo in, it murks bosses if you get a good chance to drop a whole stamina meter on a combo

I have gotten the Bloodborne and a PS4. One hour till I can play it, though, because of the really big update I gotta install.

dont let micolash start a call beyond. if you keep pressure he won't do it. his version starts up really quick i think so it's not worth trying to interrupt it. you'll die.

but if he does dodging into medium distance is better cuz there is a dead zone.

up close you'll get hit by all of them and one-shot, and in the farther zone you'll get hit by some of them and probably one shot.

good luck out there
