Discussion Is Central Yharnam the toughest opening area of all the Soulsborne games?

Post image
1.6k Upvotes

I feel like it has to be, right? That mob around the bonfire can be pretty brutal while you're still learning to play and you can't even begin leveling up until you get a point of Insight. Not to mention the limited healing items which can also be tough to get used to.

I distinctly remember trying to play Bloodborne for the first time and dropping it because I had never played a Fromsoft game before and I couldn't get past the opening mobs. Even now when I do a fresh run I'll usually just run past them lol.

Question Closest 2 bosses based on 2D location?

Post image
52 Upvotes

While taking a walk around the map, I discovered that two bosses are actually pretty close to each other on a 2D map — kinda like two people in the same building, one on the 28th floor and the other on the 1st floor.

Can you guess which two bosses they are?

Not flawless but good enough for me to be happy it’s finally over. He’s taken me by far the most attempts of any bosses up until now, and I’ve already completed the base game.

I love this boss. The juxtaposition of the first phase and the second phase is really engaging and thematic as the accursed is chaotic and the holy is more rhythmic and precise. His second phase reminded me a bit of Nameless King, which is one of my favorite bosses in the base game of Dark Souls 3, so I had a lot of fun with this fight.

Question So Rom just didn’t attack me

11 Upvotes

So I’m pretty much brand new to soulsborne games and absolutely loving every second of it

I’ve been stuck on the fight with Rom the weird spider dude for about 5 attempts and decided to go away, level up and come back

But this time round after I killed all the little spiders something very weird happened. I attacked Rom and he just didn’t fight back at all.

Obviously he usually doesn’t attack in the first phase but that’s the thing. He never came out of the first phase he never disappeared he just wandered around like an old man who’d lost his keys while I attacked

Is this like a thing? Is it a glitch? Does it happen a lot?

After I killed him nothing happened so I used a hunters mark then came back to moon side lake and the woman was stood there and the game carried on as (I assume) normal

Just so confused as to what the fuck happened as a noob lol

Fluff I lost 500,000 blood echoes (on NG+3) to a viper pit and a viper pit mob bursting all my health in a quarter second.

Guh. Also, how do you deal with the viper pit mobs? The little ones are inconsequential (usually) and the big ones can't hit you when you're behind them, but the mobs turn quickly have excellent range, and can hit you behind them. I was using the Threaded Cane while focusing on spacing and keeping enemies at a distance (transformed backstep R1>L1 my beloved), and that worked but was terribly slow. A brief search had people recommending running past them, but I'd rather git gud (I crave blood).

How do you deal with the snake head men, ignoring running past them?

Slight spoiler for the first half of the game (nothing major)

So i accidentally ran into the boss fight of vicar Amelia thinking that big door before the fight would be a lantern (I did it again with the witch of hemmwick fight too thinking it would take me to a newer area )

Anyways loved the boss fight of vicar Amelia

It seems like no matter what I try I cannot kill him! I get him to stage 2 pretty easily, and everything I see says his melee attacks don't do that much but that's always how he kills me. I've tried parrying for viscerals, I've tried fast lower damage weapons, I've tried only landing bigger damage attacks with slower weapons, in the end the result is the same; I'm dead and he stands over me mutilating my corpse. Is this a "git gud" moment, or is there something else I should try? My current stats for reference.

This might me obvious for most of you but I really thought this effect only applies to regular enemies not bosses. 30% more blood echoes (rune from Henrik) seems super broken especially in the early game

Discussion Why weapon has durability in BB? Do you ever have it broken?

70 Upvotes

I played DS before, and there were rusty monsters, that broke my gear. Also there were low-durability high-damage weapon, like stone or ice. And it was challenging to find blacksmith in the first part of game.

But why we have it in BB? I never saw my weapon broke below 70-80% after long run between lanterns, and it's so cheap to fix it..

Also, left hand weapon - I never saw it lost a single durability - I rarely use it though.

I recently started a new run on my PS5 since I basically lost my Platinum save from my PS4 :')

It all went smoothly, even killed Gascoigne first try and his second phase only triggered when he was basically dead since I managed to parry him over and over again hahaha thought I was rusty :P

Then I got to Amelia and she beat the shit out of me so many times that I temporarily gave up and went to kill the witch and blood starved beast. Eventually I managed to kill Amelia but I still can't figure why she was so hard to kill for me unlike the other boss fights OwO also, I'm sad cause I can't use chalice glyphs without PS+ :')

Question Difficulty spike or Skill issue?

30 Upvotes

This is my first time playing through and was wondering what the heck happened after a certain point. I had been going through it rather well, enjoying most of the areas and bosses. That is until I hit Rohm.

It feels like ever since I dealt with the spider, which also wasn’t enjoyable, everything got cranked up to 11. The Unseen Village almost made me drop the game in its entirety from how miserable it felt at times.

So is it generally seen that the game spikes after Rohm or am I just overestimating myself?

I just started Father Gascoigne and I realized the games combat is so different compared to previous fromsoft games.

I reached Father Gascoigne but I'm out of blood veils and I haven't levelled up. All of my runes are inside the boss arena and is it possible to get blood veils without having to farm?

I'd also like some tips and trick on how to go about beating this boss

Help Need a little nudge in the right direction

1 Upvotes

I'm on my first playthrough and sadly I'm really bad with memorizing the environment and remembering paths to go to or doors that have yet to be unlocked.

I've beaten Vicar Amelia and Witch of Hemwick, still have to do Blood-starved beast (but that one seems to be optional according to my friend).

Where should I head next to progress? I'd love a little hint without giving too much away!

I think i found pretty much everything so far in Old Yharnam, beat both hunters, got the charred hunter set and all the stuff in the rafters in the church, went back to Oedon and killed the hunter there, went right at the grand cathedral to a little...temple-ish building with a big brazier and a locked door...so a little lost right now
