oh I thought you meant the humanity ghosts originally. My buddy (a Dark Souls fanatic) was watching me on my first run-through and freaked out when I encountered one in the Abyss. I also found one in Duke's Archives a while later--but of course it was on top of a bookshelf where I couldn't reach.

Killing Logarius is a pain the loving rear end, even with the Hunter's Axe. Is there some other weapon I should be using?

I enjoy bosses like Paarl that are hard until they're easy

There are a lot of bosses that are tough until you figure them out, then you can reliably beat them. Only Logarius feels like I can barely handle him every time.

On my first playthrough I was using the extended version of the hunter's axe, so I ate poo poo against Logarius 20 times in a row.

Er, I've been usisng the tricked hunter's axe the whole game up till Logarino, who is now consistently pounding my rear end. What other weapon do you recommend?

Also I have a real hard time parrying Loghead reliably, does he only stumble and open up for a visceral if you shoot him in the middle of his long wind-up scythe swing? Or are there other attacks that are parriable?

so I beat all the dlcs and talked to vendrick and got his blessing... soooooo he cured the undead curse right? So there's no reason to have a Dark Souls 3? DS3 is confirmed to be fanfiction?

I really ought to stop following this thread as I've only been able to play the game when I visit my friend... who lives three hours away. Every day I get closer and closer to splurging on a ps4 + bloodborne...

it'll go down in price soon, r-right guys?

apropos to nothing posted:

actually when you consider the fact that bloodborne just got a massive expansion, making 2015s GOTY even more amazing, it stands to reason that sony would start increasing the price of the ps4 now since the experience of playing bloodborne has only gotten more epic since the ps4s initial release

gently caress me

maybe I'll find a cheap ps4 on ebay???

I'm beyond excited for Dark Souls 3, but its hard to shake the feeling that Bloodborne was something special that can't be replicated.

really hoping they continue the design philosophy of "what if we did Dark Souls but with [motif here] in [location here] and we changed [core mechanic here] and [core mechanic here]"

I've said it here and in other From threads but I'm hoping for a souls game in a desert world that uses egyptian mythology. that would be killer

I should have mentioned that I preordered DS3 for the PC, but I still wanted to play BB so I got a PS4.

I think I'm going to take off work the rest of spring. maybe summer too. in fact I'll just quit

blade of mercy is really fun to use, but it's not quite effective on bosses due to the small per-hit damage. that's why I've got my buddy mr. tonitrus as my secondary

also I wish the walk to logarius wasn't so long. he's so hard, I'm afraid I'll never get to try out the chikage or the wheel :cry:

1) it has a 1.25x damage modifier on dodge attacks
2) there are two shortcuts that you can combine to make the run easier


In Training posted:

you may be missing a shortcut. Logarius run can be about 30 seconds

starting at the lamp, I take the elevator, run down the hallway to the ladder previously hidden by a bookcase, climb up, go up the spiral stairs to roof, run along the rooftops until I get to the fight. did I miss anything?

It seems like a long run to me, maybe I'm just spoiled because I've been doing a lot of chalice runs

bloodletting beast is quite difficult, even with my beastkilling saw spear

speaking of, it's pretty funny how JSF develops a really nice theory about bloodletting beast only for it to be completely btfo by the DLC (I like how he compared it to SOTFS when instead of Aldia subtly hinted as being the dragon he turns out to be "a big bonfire with a nose")

you mean Demon's Souls 3 in space. because bloodborne is demon's souls 2 but with werewolves and lovecraft

wild west souls (red dead redemption souls basically)
moe souls
