EmmyOk posted:Okay that is what I was expecting but I think I got a "locked by device" so I am guessing I was lined up to the wrong thing or something. Very embarrassing! It's easy to get back to that point though. If a boss killed me will I have a bloodstain or will I have to kill the boss for them? "Locked by a device" and "does not open from this side" are usually the signposts marking a shortcut. I think you're thinking of a different locked gate than JBP is. I think you're talking about the one between the first brick troll pounding on a door, and that little park with a couple dogs and a patrol with a rifleman. That... actually that does get you to Papa G a little quicker, now that I think about it. But the "intended" shortcut is the one with the elevator. Once you unlock it, the levers call the elevator to them if it's not already there. To actually make the elevator move - most elevators in Souls games - you have to get on it and step on the button in the center. The levers will then respond if necessary. e: there are npc summons that the note probably referred to, yeah, but you don't need 'em - coop partners increase boss health/defense anyhow

Different movesets for different folks, I know I've heard people praise the beast cutter. It's got a subtle gimmick in which all of its attacks do blunt damage, so you can squeeze out more damage with +blunt damage gems.

If you're skl/blt instead of pure skill, you should probably pick up the Chikage. I did the BoM on a skl/arc build and enjoyed them, but they just don't compare to the Burial Blade.

Archenteron posted:The theory I usually hear is that that guy was Caryll and inscribed the Hunter Rune on you as the contract Clearly he's that guy from Jamiroquai, he's got the hat. In all seriousness, the Blood Minister is almost certainly his own dude - he's not Gehrman or Caryll or anyone else. The full bloodborne script datamined recently includes cut dialogue. The Blood Minister's got a ton of it on page 13. Then again, it's clear at least some of it was cut for a reason - he references the "awakening of Ebrietas" in a way that implies she was more important, and the "dank, sweet mud" sounds like an earlier draft of the plot.

here's the secret strategy for every soulsborne enemy at least twice your size: shove your face into its butt and hack away at that sweet, sweet beast rear end

new kind of cat posted:my issue with the emotes is that they can be motion activated if you're holding X. I jiggle my leg when I'm excited. many times I have been running to my bloodstain in a boss arena, slamming X to pick it up, not realized I've got the controller resting on my knees, and my character cheers in joyful anticipation of picking up his poo poo before getting squished

verbal enema posted:edit part 2 return of edit: is Vicar Amelia singing a hymn before you go into the fog wtf "Our thirst for blood satiates us, soothes our fears. Seek the old blood, but beware the frailty of men. Their wills are weak, minds young. The foul beasts will dangle nectar and lure the meek into the depths. Remain wary of the frailty of men. Their wills are weak, minds young. Were it not for fear, death would go unlamented. Seek the old blood. Let us pray, let us wish to partake in communion. Let us partake in communion and feast upon the old blood."

one of the more clever subtleties is how the blood moon is very clearly closer than the clouds are. “the moon hangs low” is literal

Zeerust posted:Where's the lore for this, again? Is this one of those things that was theorised then basically accepted as common knowledge? that rom is blocking the mensis ritual in some nebulous sense is, as has been mentioned, said in a couple of notes about the "byrgenwerth spider." some info also comes with an interview with miyazaki in... the future press guide, I think? - in which he specifies she is/was a woman

Blind Rasputin posted:Well regardless of the lore, that man of Mensis with the cage on his head, HE DIED. I went into it totally blind and what a weird fight. Very easy, I guess I was running around a nightmare. I felt stuck a few times but just kept chasing him. Dude what an amazingly detailed castle. I think the room where you inspect the body and get transported to the nightmare is the coolest, with all those other cage-wearing people sitting about. He kept mentioning Kos. That must be a great one? Also, who was that guy I killed on the bridge? I want to wonder if it was Lawrence? Didn’t he split off from Wilem and start a different branch of things like the mensis? you saw all the in-game facts about the guy you killed, ie. there aren't any. official guide calls him "Edgar, Choir Intelligencer." keep playing, especially the DLC.

Blind Rasputin posted:Do invaders have a distinct color or name over their head? In the first of those specific places where you’re forced into pvp for a short bit, a hunter came running at me from god knows where (I hadn’t walked forward into a new area) and was pretty hard to fight but I still trashed them with the saw spear and parrying. I figured it’s probably just an NPC though. they have a subtle red tinge and a name over their head, it's hard to miss. if you're talking nightmare frontier, there's an npc hunter there, yeah

shrike82 posted:got into bloodborne after finishing my 1st soulsborne - the DS remake on the PS5. the dlc is extremely, incredibly worth getting. it's balanced for the late game so right now it would probably be a slog but it's so god-drat good. if you intend on finishing the game get it before then.

verbal enema posted:angelic Ebrietas? god drat this stuff owns. anything in there about the lake of mud or the early version of moon presence? also seeing ebrietas in that pose really makes me think of ds3's pilgrim butterflies Leon Sumbitches posted:Speaking of, is DS2 gonna be fun after playing, in this order, Sekiro (unfinished), DSR(unfinished), BB (unfinished), DS3(to completion), Sekiro(to completion), BB(to completion), DSR(to completion)? yes. it's the worst one but it's simultaneously still a really good game. if you were able to go from the later games to dark souls remastered without going insane from losing changes to later games, I expect you'll have a ball. caveat: I haven't played scholar of the first sin so idk if the rejiggered enemy placements and stuff are fun for first-timers

Last Celebration posted:Um, so. Hypogean Gaol. I thought it was pretty creepy my first run through even with spoilers. But this game keeps topping my expectations wrt atmosphere cause coming back and having it be an entire new dungeon is an entirely new kind of unsettling for this series, especially with the corpses of the guys who hosed your day up at least once to even gain access to it lying around. I choose to believe that the chanting is diegetic and your character is actually hearing the BUHHHHHs while

sigher posted:Big lol at that intro text saying "The use of software emulation is not allowed." There isn't even a PS4 emulator yet that can boot the game and not allowed by who? lol self-imposed restriction. the dude does a shitload of this kind of stuff with many games - he's the guy who found that nier: automata skip to the end credits a couple months ago. part of the concept is that he goes beyond just pulling out data and going through the file structure, and shows as much as he can in-game. his youtube channel is really good
