il serpente cosmico posted:My answer is "kinda." So it's basically pointless then? I took a left after the falling ice in the first area, through the million living trees and got to the second bonfire (rope bridge) before even engaging any vikings  I'm just trying to clear everything to see if there's something I'm missing and it's frustrating when there's so much (and difficult) stuff in a row with no bonfire. I've picked up all items and stuff, just haven't killed the big wolf for the second time.

All of them  Seriously, the weapons are incredible.I'm rocking the BATTLE TORCH for maximum swag right now  . I went in with a high level quality build and so far I've been able to use almost all the weapons, and there seems to be a healthy mix of super dex heavy and super strength heavy weapons.

Your Computer posted:So it's basically pointless then? Yeah, that area just leads to the second bonfire that you already hit through the living trees. Once you clear all the items out, there's nothing else of note. The wolves just drop large titanite, so you aren't missing any good drops if you forgo one of them. The large wolves are very week to bleed, btw. Triggering it once with a katana combo killed them. More BB callback? il serpente cosmico fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Oct 25, 2016 |

So the new pyromancy is completely worthless. It sounds cool until you realize the fireballs it fires have zero tracking so they never hit anything

i beat the dlc and im not really sure what happened or who anybody i met was besides the boss where the gently caress did that kid go and what do they have to do with anything i dont understand anything about the painted world, not even a little based on the descriptions of items because they make it sounds like the painted world is literally an entire universe with its own kingdoms and poo poo and not just a tiny slice of home for weirdos edit: i thought about it and they hosed up with the 2nd/optional boss. that should've been giantdad and not some random shithead Fereydun fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Oct 25, 2016 |

Had my first real summon story with the DLC tonight. Got stuck pretty early on, at the first vikings. Summoned a guy who had his sign up at the first bonfire, and we got, I would guess, drat near the end. He led me through the whole thing, pointing to items, we survived 3 invasions, and were doing pretty well. Went through a town, and were climbing up a mountain. Then we got knocked off the mountain. I landed on a piece of geometry I don't think you're even supposed to be able to land on, but he went right off the side, right in front of my face. I...think I'm done with this for the night.

So now that the DLC is up, I decided to reinstall this and play. But now my dual shock 4 won't work. It worked when I last played, none of the fixes I find online work anymore. Anyone have any solutions on what I can do to play this loving game again without having to resort to the god awful keyboard controls?

I decided to go through the DLC for the first time on NG+5 because I hate myself and holy poo poo the last boss was tough. Finally won with no estus left and about 1/4 health thanks to a timely backstab and wake-up R2 to seal the deal.

Soft Shell Crab posted:Give me permadeath, something else than ritual materials to discover and more variety in enemies and environments and I would play that game/mode. I think it's a thing that doesn't belong in a Souls game. Both Bloodborne's main game and the Chalices suffered for the fact that they existed in the same product instead of each being their own thing. The main game felt a little too sparse compared to Dark Souls 1-3 (which would've been helped by having a couple more real areas with the Chalice bosses and loot in them), and the Chalices were underdeveloped and boring because they were an afterthought rather than the focus of the gameplay. They would've both been individually stronger games. Also grabbing the DLC later this week but I'm loving psyched that the Crow Quills are apparently great. Dex rules, rapiers rule, die in obscurity Estoc-haters.

That was... pretty short. It felt a lot like the second DaS2 DLC only without the level design. The whole thing feels like a single area in the original game and even grabbing every item it was super short.

Wait is there only two bosses?Fereydun posted:i beat the dlc and im not really sure what happened or who anybody i met was besides the boss I like that they're tying the Forlorn to it though I'm not sure that makes any sense from how DS2 described them. So far what I've got is that the painted world was a home for the weary and outcasts, and that it actually avoided the rot and hollowing (unless you came in like that) of the world, until recently. They elected to kill themselves in fire but someone stopped them (the first ashen one there I guess) and now a second ashen one (you) is there to help finish things.

So can someone walk me through what I missed? Here's my order of progression: Wolf forest -> Viking ruins w/tower -> chased by wolves from there to the snowbank that collapses before the second bonfire -> Ariandel Chapel -> backtrack to Birdman Township -> kill whathisface and find painter girl -> confusing cliffs full of Followers -> gross fly basement -> illusory wall and grosser fly basement -> illusory wall and Priscilla's old pad -> pull lever in fly basement to unlock Friede & Ariandel I hear you say there's a second boss? If it's before the boss I got to at the end of the above spoilers I have no idea where.

Sakurazuka posted:Not locking on helped me with the wolves, I usually always do with small fast enemies but you end up whiffing as they jump away when you attack, and just whack whichever one is closest to you. Oh, the wolves were easy, they were just tedious. Incredibly, obnoxiously tedious. They'll chase you forever too.

Can I have B team back? B team never sicked infinite wolves on me, they never had a weird quasi-boss fight turn into a giant dog biting me through a wall four times as I tried to run away. The no fall damage leap of faith on the jagged rocks was neat and all but again undershadowed by Sif 2.0 eating me down every step. I get it they are super proud of Bloodborne but if they keep throwing enemies from it at me is it too much to ask for a bloody shotgun to even the odds a smidge? Fun times, this dlc, it is a culmination of every bad enemy from every zone you hate doing then liberally sprinkled with hulked out Nords fellows who took a wrong turn at High Hrothgar. Rolling with 1950 health and having a dude straight up remove 3/4's of it when a giant axe came through the wall was kind of the exclamation point. The only upside is invaders are having an equally miserable time thanks to the giant seeds. Spawn at bonfire, pop fingers and seed, sit at bonfire, 45 minutes and 20 some odd invaders later and I had yet to see even one.

So there's an elevated rise of land with an item on top in the gross swamp full of dying Corvians. I see there's a wooden platform in the tower from the opposite end you're supposed to jump from but I don't know how to get up there.Feonir posted:Can I have B team back?

I only got to the zone with like 20 wolves and tree ladies that Itano-circus you with fireballs because I rushed the DLC at like +3 weapon and level 30 and also it was 1 AM, but I'm loving it so far. The enemies are a serious threat but I feel sure I can take them when I have a stronger weapon, they don't have buttloads of health (at least so far) just plenty of damage and teamwork. The painted world looks great, beautiful and menacing. The way the wolves stalk you, howl, and fan out to pincer-attack you gives me the creeps. Couldn't help but laugh the first time a javelin came flying out of the mist and nailed me in the forehead.

Fereydun posted:i beat the dlc and im not really sure what happened or who anybody i met was besides the boss The Painted Worlds are microcosms of the main world. In time they begin to rot and decay (Ariandel being the mere scrap Gael shows you when you enter it), but unlike the outside world the denizens do not true and futilely prolong it's existence but instead commit self-immolation. By burning their world away utterly they create the inspiration needed for one among them to paint another world which will go on to house new life. This time, however, it's interrupted by Sister Friede who probably seems the act of self-immolation as akin the the linking of the fire, and so fights against it by convincing/probably tricking Ariandel from doing that, and instead just having them rot away slowly. At the end of the DLC it's implied that the young painter girl goes on to paint the world of Ariamis from DS1.
