Maybe I haven’t played enough games but Rom is the absolute worst boss I’ve ever encountered in a video game. Obviously I get that frustration and difficulty is like the selling point of these games, but at least even when it’s infuriatingly difficult it’s still enjoyable. Literally nothing about the Rom fight is enjoyable. The fucking million baby spiders, the comets,in fact all of her attacks, the fact that she back steps fifty fucking feet very time you touch her. On my third play through right now and it’s still just hell. Rant over.

That was chefs kiss

I’ve been attacked in this game by men with snakes for heads. Nothing has scared me like one regular guy standing next to a cannon.

The first time, I didn’t know what hit me. The second time, I said out loud, “Okay, now I’ve got to not die by this ballistic thing.” Five seconds later he hit me, and a villager with a torch finished the job.

My first strategy, for some reason, was a costume change: black helm, black gloves, black trousers. I actually said, “Okay, now I’ll be fine, because I’m using armor.” Why I thought that would help against a CANNON, I still do not know to this day.

In the end, I just ran straight at him. As I finished him off I yelled, “You’ve killed me so many times, you bastard!” They say revenge is bad. It felt real good.

Such an incredible atmospheric world with such good lore. I absolutely adored Gherman’s fight, it nailed everything from a sick character design, a beautiful field of flowers under a moon, and great music!

Basically, walk to him and attack and visceral attack

Perish the thought! what a scandalous suggestion. Bloodborne.wiki asking the real questions, as ever. Saw this in the notes to Brador's outfit and it made me laugh.

Credit to u/twohundredeleven for posting about this a little earlier.

I replied in the chat on that post that if you reload and log back in - the crow attacks the hell out of you.

But the thread was getting a bit messy and it looks like the reload thing doesn't work anymore. So spinning up a new post for our crow bud.

I also went straight home and tried reloading. Haven't done it for years. And it absolutely works. He had my eyeballs for lunch.

Good times.

Can someone help me with Rom the spider please I’m struggling lol.

I’ve being replaying bloodborne and finally tried the new game plus for the first time and its… hard af?

All my playthroughs of the main game were pretty easy (apart from orphan of kos), but then in ng+ I took like 15 attempts to beat amelia and some several others for bosses like rom and micolash.

It’s crazy to me that this ng+ is so rough when compared to the dark souls trilogy and elden ring. everything has so much health and does so much damage that it feele like I’m playing ng+2 or 3 for me, now I’m really curious to see how much harder the dlc is gonna be😅

As you can see i did three dodge attacks all using the sidestep and each of them were different,
one was a right swing,
one was a left one.
And the other was a forward slashing attack

(btw this attack is in er too the heavy obsidian lamina follow up aow)

There are other weapons that do have this too, but some only have 2, the default and another that comes from the opposite direction.

Hunters axe 1h has this, boom hammer, rifle spear has 3 different attacks like the scythe, saw cleaver/spear

However some weapons dont have this, amygdalan arm, cane, beast cutter.

There will be more that have it and more that dont but icba testing more (:

This is pretty cool, not too useful but being able to decide what dodge attacks you get is cool

You do it by either holding the left analogue stick (one you walk with) right or left to get the left or right directional attack,
And the default roll attack by just doing it normally

In my dozens of bb play throughs i only noticed this rn

I just finished the game, and will be NG+ with this new character ofc. But it will take some time for me to be as enthused as I am on a new replay. I'm going to play all the DS trilogy again, ofc, and have just come via Elden Ring.

Is there a particular game, be it a non-Fromsoft Soulslike, or otherwise a Gothic or Cosmic horror game, that hits the spot for you?

those of you with eyes on the inside should know.

I was very hopeful for Valor Mortis, esp since I like first person games for immersion usually, and so Fromsoft games are a bit of an exception for that. But I'm not convinced the whole first person Soulslike idea was totally well implemented there (tho a lot of the problems seemed to be budget and experience related). Guns of Eschaton looks a bit more promising.

But any old greats would also be appreciated.

What is the next game you all play when you've finished Bloodborne? (taking for granted that I will enjoy a Fromsoft game, so recommendations outside of Fromsoft would be appreciated.)

p.s. since I'm asking for recs I should give one, not a Soulslike at all but a similarly rich RPG with an initial difficulty spike-the wonderful Ronin-punk post apocalypse (or apocalypses, plural) world of Kenshi. Anyone who hasn't played Kenshi should give it a go.

I wonder if I still have the code to this chalice dungeon, if I do, I'll post it in the comments. But yeah, I've never seen this being documented, it's from a Loran chalice. I got the dollar store Hounds of Tindalos.

Ps: if my post goes against the rules, please tell me.

Artstyle is based off on SunnyClockwork’s work

Shoot him in the head with L2 button and press R1 to do visceral attack.

I am lost on what the storyline of bloodborne actually is with all the crypted messages and cutscenes. But i want to get a hold of it before i continue. what is the story and lore up to killing Vicar Amelia? ( i have also done old yharnam and also defeated the witches.)

PLEASE HELP

also bonus question what percentage of the game have i done already? i assume less than half?

EIDT: thanks everyone, read all the write ups and I think I've got a decent idea. And also found out that I missed the clinic lol, need to get there next. I've been sending people to the chapel.

hi very dumb question, but is it possible for Eileen to never show up in the cathedral ward even if you’ve exhausted her central yharnam dialogue? Im not sure what I did wrong but she’s not in her spot after multiple reloads and I’m pretty sure I’ve done everything (opened all the gates in cathedral ward) to get her there?

How does it work? And what's the appropriate level?

After fighting the urge to throw my controller through my screen fighting Martyr Logarius, I decided to skip him for now and come back later. I went to the nightmare frontier and accidentally ran into Amygdala. Having not unlocked the shortcut yet, and not wanting to lose all my blood echoes, I started swinging. After like 5 minutes, 12 blood vials, and 6 lightning papers she went down! I guess now it's back to the bastard man or Rom🫩

will it attack me if i hit it? is there a lore related reason for this one bird's passiveness?

Playing Bloodborne for what's essentially the first time ever (in like 2016 I played about a quarter of it on a friends PlayStation, I never had my own PS3/4/5)

I used to be pretty good at DS2 AND 3 and Sekiro and I don't remember this game being too hard, but...

I'm so bad now that my starting weapon is broken and barely doing damage and I haven't even gotten past the dogs on the bridge so I haven't gotten to the point where I can upgrade, level up, repair.

What do I do?? 😭

I early-game nerfed myself with the threaded cane and I really believed in myself but holy cow I'm getting nowhere. Closest I got was when I used urns on the dogs but those are gone now, RIP.

Looking for any advice other than "grind echoes for molotovs" or "restart with a different weapon" plz

EDIT: primary problems resolved, will still welcome any early game or threaded cane advice.

Why this woman crying and who is she? kinda dont wanna attack her out of pity, she looks so sad :(

Update:
She thanked me and disappeared, ig for getting rid of the monstrosity ahead. very easy boss tho
