If you have the pistol (if you didn't pick this up as the starter, you can buy it after getting the saw hunter badge from the pig underneath him. It can be done with the blunderbuss, but the timing is more precise), just shoot at him whenever he looks like attacking. When stunned, just wander up to him and put your main weapon through him. when he transforms, make sure he's away from the wall,use the music box and then o a charged R2 on his back. and then ram your weapon through him as before. It may help to go into the fight with 5 extra bullets through pressing up on the d pad, and then healing and finding a blood vial on route. Failing that, you can use his weakness to getting blocked by gravestones fairly well (The way I've always done it up until earlier today, whereupon I was surprised at how easy the way I've described above is)

I were a little crap during that last fight. Watching it back, You could tell my concentration was lagging a little. Plus I'd forgotten that was the one I experimented with the bow blade. Which was utterly shit. And the one you cancelled my backstab. Tsh.

I've just nipped into a Chalice dungeon and deadid that ROM bastard that was hounding me for months. I'm on fire all of a sudden.

There's a board game. Here's how it works.

Started Bloodborne last night. I managed an hour or so. I chose a character with a violent past (I am from the north afterall). I chose a natty beard and burns combo that's on the right side of the Victorian cad/hipster divide. I chose the saw and blunderbuss. It took an age to equip my weapons (as per Zaphod earlier in the thread). I have made a couple of trips back to the Hunters Dream to sell my blood echoes for better gear. So I'm basically still at the start. Killed a few manky dudes. There's a big gathering of them in some town square that I'm going to go and fuck up. After that, who knows. I'm enjoying it, feels less obtuse than Dark Souls, which I never made further than 30 minutes in. I'm much more comfortable with dying in this, I think. In this regard I read a helpful description of Bloodborne the other day: think of it is a roguelike. Death is inevitable in every session, but with each death your chances are enhanced. Will see how long I last.

Dying is totally part of the game mechanics. I took part in Return to Yharnam, and it was great.

It's one of those 'get better each time' games. I found Bloodborne felt slightly fairer than Souls games, because you are better equipped to respond offensively to any nasty surprises. Which starter melee weapon did you choose? I went with the Saw Cleaver. The Axe is supposed to be good too. The cane/whip thing is a bit more niche.

Post subject:	Re: Bloodborne - From Software - PS4
I took the saw first time, cane second time, as ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! you can pick up a slightly better saw early into the game . Once I had got a bit (lot) harder, I switched to Ludwig's Holy Blade and never looked back.

That boss fight is brilliant. Stunningly difficult at first but when it all clicks and you’re dodging around and wacking him on his arse you feel like a badass. If you’re thinking about giving up though - make sure you call in some co-op assistance. Or make yourself available for some friendly cooperation and see how others are fairing.

Of course not, how could I? It's not like the fucking thing explains any aspect of itself, not even the most basic of controls. Which is another thing about it that's grinding my gears somewhat.

Bloodbourne has a whole mechanic which revolves around friendly cooperation and invasions. You’re just the kind of person who would dump it after seeing a fraction of what it has to offer and friendly coop would allievate your frustrations and probably help you get into it. You can always choose when you’d like some help (usually for a difficult boss) and when you’d rather they fuck off.

Dark Souls had the simplest of tutorials which was basically a set of messages on the floor in the first area telling you how to do a few things. One of them was a lunge attack. I spent about half an hour trying to do what it was telling me to do only to find out after looking online that the starting weapon you get as a dex character can't do that type of attack. Fuck needlessly impenetrable games.
