that's one of the the best parts of souls games: strugglin on a boss and gettin to the point where you wonder if you'll ever beat it and then you finally do by the skin of your teeth but when you replay the game you get to the same boss and beat it on your first try with no trouble

amelia was easy for me both times so far... just stick to her sides and look for her freak out tells. fire paper makes it go even faster.

fire paper + untransformed saw cleaver equals pwning amelia every time unless your a noob

the hardest enemy for me in the whole game is just the generic snake men in the forbidden woods. I've prolly died to just some shmuck with a snake for a head more than any boss in the whole game

I still haven't figured out their parry window because their attack animation is a weird multi strike mess of snake heads

apparently if you parry them, the parry window gives you i-frames through the frenzy going off so you take little if no damage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkp63cClCRc

huh, they have a huge parry window. i might try that when i run through nightmare frontier next time.

i bet we get Bloodborne dlc details at e3 in two weeks. are there any locked doors they never end up using, or is it gonna be like ds1 where they just add in a new NPC and different location. Pretty easy to do considering the nightmare levels already exist in some different plane and there could just be a new portal somewhere to transport you

So nothing ever unlocked that? That could be it, considering you can look out from above there and see a huge bridge and more city

That door connects directly to the bridge where you fight the cleric beast. They probably just changed their minds about that shortcut, it can't lead to a new place.

that's what you think, but, you're going to open it and there will be a giant portal behind it and you'll be in a new nightmare

i wish there was more of the lovecraft "eldritch thing beneath the water" than just one boss fight. a sunken city that you can still run through would be so cool

I'm actually curious how Fromsoft would handle a sequel to this assuming they do one. All of the Lovecraft poo poo in the game was kind of a twist that I don't think many people expected and they kept all that pretty well hidden leading up to the games release. I just wonder if there's anyway they could recreate that in a sequel or if it would be more like DS2 where it feels like the plot and worldbuilding was just "you know the deal, go kill poo poo"

if they wanted to do an artorias type thing, then going into memory or back in time to fight laurence would be pretty cool

the more i play bloodborne the more i can tell they had to rush to get it released. for example if you position the camera to look inside of Eileen's like, model, she doesnt have a face ... but everyone in Dark Souls has a face. theres also like a million half finished buildings and graphic errors everywhere. like literalyl hundreds of them. there wasnt any of that in dark souls except for the floating door in duke's archives. i think sony pressured them to release it quickly

yea, but all things considered those are such small issues. it really tells a story of a dream team that can work on any deadline imho

if it really is a rush job that's really impressive

Bloodborne will continue the Souls tradition of having the DLC be the best part of an already great game

they should make a new thing like bloodborne again instead of dark soul 3. i think miyazaki said he wanted to make something with a warm atmosphere. that would be nice
