I have to say, it's absolutely delightful to read the impressions of the newcomers, it's like the game just came out, it's great :)
I may give my sinister bell a whirl...

I love seeing all these newcomers. I'm still shocked that PS+ offered Bloodborne this month; incredible.
It makes me want to start up a new character. Maybe a skill / bloodtinge build...

Weird bug I used to run into as well. It just corrects itself after a few restarts. Idk what it is.
Man, that place in
Loving the game and deaths aren't really that stressful anymore. Just wish I had more time to play this and MHW.
Old Yarhnam where the hunter tries to shoot you from the roof is brutal. Seems like there are two paths to get to him: one that heads off to the left, through a building with a decent amount of cover (good), and one where you drop down a ledge into an area with four or five crows, a beast in rags, and a crapload of gunfire (bad).
Couldn't really advance anymore in the Cathedral area, so I went back to OY to have a look around and farm some Echoes.

What's the best way to increase stats with Threaded Cane? Cuz I'm going to save up for Uncanny in Depth 1 when I acquire Pthumeru Chalice from
Blood-Starved Beast at Old Yharnam.
Skill all the way, Cane on its final form get an A from Skill. Also, the normal one is the best Threaded Cane if you're after the most optimum damage with it, the imprints for the uncanny is not ideal for this since it doesn't have triangle for it.
Good day of playing Bloodborne and cooping with some new players. You can definitely tell when some are new but it makes it feel all the better knowing you're helping them. Playing with all of this activity has allowed me to coop some bosses I've never been able to coop.
Been experimenting on a new character with different weapons. The Saif is such a great weapon. That slight dash that comes from that first R1 of the transformed state is extremely useful, and the transformation attacks that dash you forward and backwards make for some great movement to take advantage of within combos. The normal form has such long and wide range good for dealing with multiple or larger targets (like limbs), the transformed form is as fast as the saw clever/spear.
Tis good.

I fell in love with it super hard, at first it looks just like another cleaver but ten you find out about the movement and it's so goooood
Blasphemy!
Cleaver is good, but not ideal for a bunch of stuff that the Cane can easily deal with. Really, Cane has an answer for almost if not all situations, it has thrust, serrated, church damage. it's R2 chain attack can stagger hunters.... perfect for any situation... and it's stylish too >:)
Yeap, it's a fantastic plus it's such awesome-looking and stylish weapon as well. The only real weakness is that it's not strong against anything, but meh, the style points alone makes up for it.
Just realized that the Old Hunters price is the same as the base game itself.
Hahah that's crazy :P

Threaded Cane is possibly the best weapon of all time.
I'll always remember walking down a set of stairs at Old Yharnam, smoothly finishing off two beast monsters with a sweeping whip attack, and then with pitch perfect timing, hearing "you're a skilled Hunter. . ." shouted from an unclear rooftop. No other weapon could have captured the vibe of that moment.
The Beast Saif is also incredibly badass, though. It's the weapon that finally pulled me away from the Threaded Cane during my first full playthrough.

It's worth it 100%. Probably the most fun I've had in any game is the old hunters DLC.
Same here. I've never had this problem and I've been playing since launch. Does anyone know of a way to fix this?
It's pretty short though, well I guess quality over quantity, but they should lower the price nonetheless, it's like you're buying bloodborne full price twice, hahah.
It's a known issue that, as far as I can tell, has no reliable way of getting out of other than closing the game fully and restarting it and just hope for the best.
Edit: try switching your connection to Wi-Fi, see if it helps.
My friend is having problem connecting to bloodborne server. He just can't.
He tried opening the port in his router "Bloodborne" TCP: 18671, 20443 UDP: 9305,9306 but it still didnt work. His connection is NAT type 2 and he have no problem playing other games online.

Don't give up Mr Skeltal. It's a pretty hard boss for the early game, but it's doable.
I got more enjoyment from old Hunters than I did the entire main game(Main game was good, mind), so it makes sense.
It's great to see the new blood coming in.
No pun intended.
Did they ever change it so weapons are at least somewhat usable even if my stats aren't high enough?
I just stuck to strength-based stuff but should have experimented more at the start. New Game Plus it is.

It's a pretty short run, and if you kill the piggy (easy peasy since you can come after its arse from behind from the stairs on the bridge) you can always have some of your blood vials refunded.
Are you making use of the musical box? You don't have to, but it can greatly help. Also he's a beast in werewolf form so during that he's weak to fire and serrated weapons like Saw Cleaver.
But the GOTY edition, which includes both, is 40 bucks, so...
I've been doing the flame method and it's pretty effective. Got him down to about 10-15% in my latest fight, but I got done dirty by a bad dodge maneuver.
Also, is there another closer checkpoint that I'm just not aware of? I've been using the first one after the new game origin point the entire time, specifically the Central Yarnham one that's facing a forked path (the right side of which leads to the bonfire). Because really, it's the premature loss of resources and blood echoes on the way that hurts me.
He's the early game bottleneck but you can do it. Parry and fire is youre friend, if you have any. And like others have said, if youve found a music box, use it....but not too much.
Have you opened the gate next to the first Lamp? Also, remember that you can run past things. Not every trip needs to have a fight.
Weird. I've restarted like 10 times. I guess I can try the WiFi thing
The shortest path to him is indeed from Central Yharnam, go to the left through the unlocked gate, you may choose to fight the trolls (they're really easy to visceral for extra blood vials) or just skip them altogether using the right path (there's an alley that goes to the left skipping the Trolls quite a bit), and then use the elevator (you need to unlock this one first tho), go to the bridge, get past it, and head to him.
Try the visceral tactic like the way I did it in my video above, you may have better luck with that.
Yeah this is the one I've been using the entire time.
I think the problem with me is that I'm way too concerned on getting more blood vials/bullets so I feel like killing at leas 2 or 3 enemies to get some more. Problem is when you attack one, you gotta attack all after that point.
If it's any consolation, the game gets easier IMO after Gascoigne and later on you'll be better off buying blood vials then actually farming for it and they won't be an issue :)
Just keep at it! The first time I beat him all by myself I actually shivered in delight, hahaha.
Yeah, I'm getting that too. I tried restarting the game about a dozen times now and it just keeps happening.
Way to father g should be a 2 minute sprint from lantern max. The one door/gate (shortcut) should be open by now (left to the starting lantern).
I summon in every Soulsborne game because jolly cooperation defines the series for me.
I keep getting disconnected upon loading a character too. I guess the servers are having trouble with the influx of new players.
