yeah, I think you can stagger every boss somehow, but not always with the gun, they seem to have locational damage points. Like the first boss in the chalice has a growth on his leg and if you target that it will blow up and deal massive damage, and then you can keep targeting the same leg to cripple and stun him. It's cool

You can kneecap the fire dog and you can do it 3 more times during each stun it's epic

the vicar was giving me trouble but i discovered one trick to own the fight

i love how a lot of these bosses have attacks you can "parry" unlike in dark souls, and also unlike dark souls there are many other ways you can stagger them. ds it was just like, do enough damage to break their poise within 5 seconds and they stagger, maybe. here... im slammin this mother fucker and breaking his knees so that he falls down

for some fcking reason i kept trying to dodge away from blood-starved beast so i could pop antidote and chug a potion , even though i knew that dodging into it very easily avoided every attack and combo it would try

and then i was getting owned

I need to go check out a lot of the doors that previously just said "Closed" and see if they opened. I also wish I could get blood transfusions from the women I saved but they're freaking out and bad.

ps4 facts: the only time i dipped below 20 fps was fighting 3 player enemies at once in a closed room w/ no smoke effects or anything, at a time when they all fired their guns. it was hosed up.
i downloaded bloodborne instead of having a disc and in certain areas/situations my hard drive slows and makes scary noises while my tv does the "your computer is dying" noise and frames start to skip but it stays a solid 30+

Question for those who are further than me: does the second tombstone only have the witches fight? I can't find another path in that area and it seems crazy short

yes
but it also has a secret area that you can only activate doing a different secret area thing

The new ps4 update that lets you suspend the game when you put it in 'rest mode' and then pick up exactly where you left off is great for this game

agreed
but get this - i only found it out because i tapped the power "button" with my palm accidentally and my ps4 went into rest and i freaked out

Ultra gem just do chalice dungeons eventually you'll get to the point where every gem is high enough level to unlock it. Blood rock is in the nightmare of mensis if you take the second cage down you can jump out of it and into a window and get to a lever that will drop down the brain that makes you frenzied and you'll find the rock where it falls.

drat... wtf... i pulled that lever and got teh funny cutscene and then i looked in the hole and didn't see any items
