Bloodborne (aka Project Beast/Demon's Souls 2)

[tommers]

Is your weapon levelled as well? Just as, if not more important.

 

[fen_boy]

Is Gatling Gun Arsehole optional?

 

[tommers]

I've not got to him yet. I have no time to play this game. I got to the top of the healing chapel and there's a door that I don't have a key to. so I went into a chalice dungeon which was pretty cool but the boss killed me and then my mother in law arrived.

You've just described an area I haven't seen. I think. Gatling gun arsehole is right at the start of old yarnham.

Yeah, he's shot me loads of times but I've never got up to him (which I presume is what you do)?

I did explore that level but I got a bit lost and sidetracked I think.

The healing church workshop sounds like the giant blacksmith equivalent I guess. It's near the cathedral ward lamp. I needed to get some kind of chalice or something from one of the bosses. Who was in a church I think.

 

[tiki]

I've read that blood starved beast is optional so I'll come back to him later when I've levelled up a bit more and then kick his ass.

 

[tommers]

Is he? I'm getting confused. I thought he was the one who I got the chalice off.

It's all very similar. I forget where everything is.

 

[tommers]

I found gatling gun man.

He's an arsehole.

 

[tommers]

Haha. That was amazing. I climbed up the ladder to him and I lost my nerve cos I had a few souls so I went back down again. I got up to go and get a drink while I decided what to do and suddenly there was a flash and I got another 875 souls.

Stupid twat had fallen off the ladder.

Bet you still have dreams as well you mug. Haha.

 

[fen_boy]

Go back up the ladder, he leaves a thing.

 

[tommers]

Yeah he dropped it at my feet.

 

[tommers]

tiki you've beaten cleric beast, any tips?

 

[tommers]

Actually it's not cleric beast it's vicar amelia.

 

[fen_boy]

Isn't it just like every souls boss? Bury your face in its arse and hack.

 

[fen_boy]

Been thinking about the Father Gascoigne fight, in retrospect I reckon it's one of my favourite in the souls games. It should have come later in the game as I didn't really appreciate it at the time as I was still getting used to the whole setting and whatnot.

I've been doing Co op with people fighting her and that definitely helps but she's got a nasty sweep attack and also does a weird charging thing that looks like it should be a huge explosion but, actually, doesn't seem to do anything.

It's good though, about half the attempts have ended in dismal failure. It's like dark souls before everybody knew exactly how to beat everything.

It kind of passed me by a bit. I tried him a couple of times and then summoned somebody. You're probably right that it should have come later, thinking about it. The other hunters are cool. I fought one down by the end of cathedral ward and it was like a Jackie chan fight.

I died. Obviously.

 

[tiki]

Haven't got to vicar Amelia yet. Probably give it a shot this weekend.

 

[sleaterkinney]

It's a difficult game.

 

[tommers]

It's a difficult game.

Where are you up to?

 

[sleaterkinney]

Still in central yarnham, trying to master the weapons.

 

[tiki]

God. It's almost too stressful. I finish playing and notice I'm all tense and shaking.

 

[fen_boy]

Managed to let Eileen The Crow die, can't get her stuff now.

 

[tommers]

I haven't met her yet. I killed amelia last night with a little bit of help from some friends but was so tired I kept making silly mistakes so I left it.

 

[fen_boy]

You missed her really early on. Not sure if her story will have moved on at the point you're at.

Ah. I hate it when that happens. Thanks for the tip.

 

[tommers]

Not had much time to play this recently but got an hour in this morning.

I got to the forbidden woods and I was walking along when I heard this sound. So I jumped back just as a huge spiked log fell from the trees on some rope where I'd just been.

Congratulating myself, I stopped to get my breath. The log then fell off the ropes, rolled into me and killed me.

Bravo.

Managed to finish this last week. Felt a great sense of achievement. Apparently there's an expansion coming later in the year.

Cool. Have you played the souls games?

 

[tiki]

Never played them before. Really enjoyed Bloodborne. Drove me crazy at first but I got into a groove and managed to do 3 bosses in one night. I learnt quickly that button mashing doesn't work, it's all about timing. I did farm for a little while though to level up and boost my advantage.

I have DS2 on my hard drive but would rather play it on a console. I can wait for a price drop for that though as I'm now getting into the Witcher 3.
