I was invaded a fair few times but I was actively going out of my way to call them into my world in my 2nd play through. It's a shame there's no equivalent of the dried finger in Bloodborne. I've done loads of invasions too and they've been wicked fun (not recently mind) although I much prefer Dark Souls 3 for invasions/friendly coop though - PvP combat is much more satisfying than in Bloodborne. They really got their shit together for that. I'd highly recommend newbies get involved with the invasion/coop aspects of the game. They add new elements to the game that you'll miss with a dry solo play through. |

Molotovs are also handy in health whittling situations. I believe they're fairly cheap. And remember you can sacrifice a little life (Up on dpad) to get 5 bullets. is sensible to go in with 25 and try and find a blood vial on the way to boss to get you up to max. |

25? I can only carry a max of 20. I'm wondering if throwing knives are good too. Beasts are susceptible to serration apparently. |

You can get an extra 5 on top of your 20, but it costs health. Do it while you're fighting someone crap so you can get the health back from them. |

You should ignore all the music box, bullet tricks, item usage and rubbish until you can just smack the shit out of him. So do that, smack a cramp in that ass. |

I'm actually finding him reasonably easy now until he turns to beast form. Then I'm just falling short because I can't seem to get any hits off on him without him destroying me. |

I reckon your best bet is the tomb near the stairs then. Have him chase you round that in wolf form. When he goes mental just run/dodge around the tomb in a circle. When he starts working make him feel the wrath of your charged R2. Simples. |

Did it. Parry and viscerals. Then when he transformed a music box/charged attack and finished him off with molotovs. |

It opens up a bit more now, you get the ability to use weapon gems* (and runes aren't exactly out of reach). And the remainly bastardly bosses now tend to have npc summons i believe. Oh, and you can return to the hguy next to the central yharnham lamp and he'll give you a fun flamethrower. can be a useful tool in some places. *- ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! |

He's come close to killing him and he's definitely a lower level than I am. I dunno, I was making a good effort of it--especially at a lower level and with all starter gear--however I just spent a while levelling up plus getting the better weapon and a whole new suit only to fail to even get him into beast form. I did only try once after all that so it's not necessarily indicative, but I was sort of hoping all the new gear and whatnot would make the difference and it totally didn't. Anyway, I'll get a better run at him tomorrow. |

Gascoigne really is a brutal boss to be facing so early, when you're still getting used to the combat though. His first form has all the tricks you do, his second form is fast and agressive. |

A lot of the clothing alternatives have better resistance to different types of attack and can have an impact on your speed / stamina Generally when you go into a new area and find a clothing set you should check its attributes and normally switch over to it. |

The stuff you find in Yarnham is better than the stuff you can buy at that point for everything except weird shit I don't understand or care about. Poison resistance and stuff I think. Oh, actually there's a difference in 'blunt' vs 'thrust' attributes but I wasn't really sure what that meant. |
|
| Author: | myp [ Thu Mar 22, 2018 16:31 ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Bloodborne - From Software - PS4 |
How much resistance to those types of damage, I'm assuming. |

| Author: | Mr Dave [ Thu Mar 22, 2018 17:35 ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Bloodborne - From Software - PS4 |
tindeed. The hnters aex, which is what gascoigne uses for most of the fight is a blunt weapon, so better blunt resistance is better than thrust resistance. But I never really noticed much difference between the armour sets. It's not Dark Souls. |

Father Dickface: fucked. Took me three attempts tonight and for the final one I did nothing different, just luck. First two attempts I never even got a hit into his beast form as he just relentlessly smacked me around. Third time, after getting him into beast form, I completely ran out of bullets and accidentally 'bought' more while panickly trying to hit him with a Molotov (which missed). But then he seemed to calm down and let me actually get a chance to think and respond rather than just run away in terror. I parried and followed up twice in a row which brought him to the edge of death so then I just ran in smashing the attack button. I should really have been punished for my hubris at that point, but fuck it. I don't really feel I earned the kill by being better or anything, it just worked out properly for some reason this time. Still, I didn't use the music box or secondary weapons or any other helpers so that's something I suppose. |

With a nudge in the right direction from Mr Dave I managed to avoid chain gun guy and not have to face him at all, cleared the cathedral, opened the shortcut to outside, killed the hunter by making him fall to his death, then battled my way to the next shortcut which takes you back to the previous lamp. I banked my 15,000 blood echoes and pushed on. Found the Blood-Starved Beast and got him down to half health first try. That'll do for now! |
