You sound like a caring big bro here ^^ Not that I mind, it's just surprisingly out of character (love the care and passion that seeps throught your words about this game by the way).
6:51 Quick Silver bullets, you missed the best tip! Hit the UP button right before you start comboing on an enemy. The hits you land'll heal you back up thanks to the rally system, so as long as you're doing it right, you can have free QS bullets the entire game, no vial use necessary to counteract it.
To be fair, Bloodlickers are totally bullshit. Quite literally the only enemy in the game that is, really. Stupidly fast, have combo attacks, do WAY too much damage in one hit, can clear distances faster than any other enemy, are pretty much entirely dangerous except when at the hindquarters, have no parry windows (that I'm aware of), and are an absolute nightmare in Chalice dungeons (their only saving grace there is that they drop something really nice in the dungeons when they are killed off upon returning to a visceraled area). Their only real weakness they have is sticking to their hindquarters, but one should NEVER stand directly behind them, lest they wanna get bucked in the face by their back legs. Also, free tip. When Father Logarius is about to enter phase 2 of his battle and go super saiyan, run up behind him, and visceral him. It'll cancel out his bullet deflecting aura and make phase 2 MUCH easier to handle on the whole. I learned that while doing a Lvl DIE run.
VERY IMPORTANT: Even if you have killed an enemy, smacking them a few times after and as they die will still trigger Rally and give you back health. So do that, it will save you more blood vials than you know.
Armor means practically nothing in this game. Dont overthink the clothing you are wearing. If you like it, wear it. It's all about looking good at the end of it. Fashion Souls baby.
@@spacewizardpip1111 Not that much, poise is broken in dark souls and still has something to do with using a weapon's hyper armor in DS3. In bloodborne you can just get a couple seconds more before frenzing to death so yeah,I go naked to show off my abs😂
The only thing I can think of as useful stats for the armor is resistances. But thats easy to deal with because you can just throw gassy coin's armor on, beat BSB, then go right back to your favorite fashion souls after.
Yep and I've learned when fighting the Orphan Of Kos always dodge to ur right a split second before it hits you except the multi smash attack. I've never seen it fail yet
I wish i knew this. Once i got the boss too 1 hp literally no red health bar left and he grabbed me and if i knew this i would have saved time on not doing another 60 attempts trying to kill him
I’ve literally been fighting this boss for a year. Or rather, I’ve been stuck in Old Yharnam for the last year because I’ve been continually dying against the BSB and rage-quitting. lol
@@mourningwoodward i was recently stuck for weeks. There's a way to cheese it with blood pellets, fire paper and beast pearls, but i managed to waste them all and fucked it up. They don't sell them in the shop until you kill it. 🙄 There's a clip of a guy killing it with no hits and it helped me a lot with the timing of the dodges. As the OP mentioned, it's best to dodge left, even if I didn't realize it, i was unconsciously doing it too.
ItzMrinyYø I have nearly 14 hours in the game and still haven't beat the cleric beast, and yet keep coming back for some reason. Somehow, it's one of my favorite games.
Bonus tip: When you play this game, just accept the fact that you’re going to die. It’s okay to get mad, but just accept the deaths and keep going, and don’t be afraid to take the game in small doses if you get frustrated. Made the game more enjoyable for me
Recently picked it back up. First couple times it was 30 minutes or so. Next couple times 1-2 hours. Now I’m back into the binging sessions of self loathing and great personal triumph. Best SoulsBorne game IMO.
It took me literal years to learn this lesson. Bought the game due to a combination of hype, interest in the setting and story, and it was on sale. The first few tries at it ruined my morale. It wasn't until I watched someone play BB who knew almost every little thing about it, and was immediately inspired to get in there and try again, however this time without putting all the pressure on myself to succeed immediately. I began playing the game in bursts to maximise my enjoyment while minimising frustration. It is now one of my all time favourite games.
I love how bold this game is. No matter how many times you die, the game won’t falter it’s difficulty. You either adapt to the challenge and win, or you quit. End of story.
Or you grind until your character is OP and abuse ridiculous damage whilst using broken weapons like Ludwig’s holy blade 🤪 Nah in all seriousness your right though, it’s a challenging game that requires you to adapt and it’s all the better for it
@@jbryan985 or you go to a certain chalice dungeon for passive grinding and max your stats before getting to Amelia Not that I did that or anything haha...
My tip: Dont be afraid to take a break. If you are getting frustrated and not having any fun at all, stop. Come back to it later, whether that's the same day, later that week, or even months later. Personally, my first block was Gascoigne. I wasn't having fun, stopped for a couple months, then came back and made some progress. Next the Blood Starved Beast was another wall. Shorter break this time, only a month or so, then when I came back it finally clicked. I've loved this game ever since.
I tell people this all the time, and it goes for any game. Why are you going to sit there and yell at the TV and only make things worse for yourself, instead of just switching games for a bit and taking a breather, you know?
Best advice you can give. At BSB now and I find myself begrudgingly returning and losing and thinking "ugh, I gotta go grind shit again?!". It's seems like a good game but very unforgiving if youre new and unfamiliar or a tad wasteful with supplies. The size and scope of what remains in this game, judging from some of these review/tip vids is daunting too when considering how early on one is in the game.
"Dying is your fault" throwback to that time i glitched through the floor and told myself:"It's my fault,i should've known better,I'm playing bloodborne goddamnit"
Me gets bloody staved beast to 1hp and his health bar has literally no red in it and the hit box broke and he grabbed me when he shouldn't have. Sorry i should have know and doge past the invisible hit box
Sometimes it does fuck up, I'll agree. But like. 90% of the time, it'd be because you did something wrong. Like, if I die because I got stuck in a corner? That's definitely the game's fault. But if I die because I wasn't quick enough to dodge? Or got greedy? Definitely my fault.
@@goodblueboy6224 I didn’t see any red bar whatsoever either when I was fighting the mini boss on the tower with the turret in early game, but somehow I died. I was so pissed because I wasted all of my precious poison throwing knives and Molotavs to kill him, and haven’t been able to remotely get to killing him since. I don’t have the ability to buy more poison throwing knives - I used all the ones that I found as treasures when exploring. 😩
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Technically Djura (The guy on the tower) isn't a boss. If you ignore him and kill Darkbeast Paarl, he becomes friendly to you and stops shooting. Killing him is an option, which is what I did on my first playthrough, but he's a tough fight due to the confined space and that damn blunderbuss.
fun facts ludwigs blade has better dmg output as a lost version in an arcane build with correct gems by alot. Ludwigs is just another perfect example of him that str/skill makes every weapon usable but not op. If u ever used a chikage on a BT build or kos on an arcane build you wouldn't think ludwigs does alot of dmg. that being said it is a rather good weapon since it has an easy to get used to moveset
i am now in my ng++ run and i realize that i am overlevelled for bl120 and i havent even finished my build for skill and strength, i now realize that i have to restart
New player here! I got stuck on Father Gascoigne for so long and all my attempts at parrying that failed left me out of bullets so rather than farming I had the genius realization that the transformed state of the hunter axe could stagger him briefly with an L2 followed by an R1 and immediate dodge forward to avoid his guaranteed blunderbuss counter Made fighting him an absolute joke and the hours I spent before became almost comical
Tip 16: Don’t Underestimate the Pebble Seriously, Pebbles and Throwing Knives are great tools to pull SINGLE enemies. There is no shared aggro in this game. Yes, enemies will turn towards the impact of the damage, but so long as you stay out of their lines of sight you will be fine to pull away one enemy from a group.
@@amafuji I know exactly what you're talking about, I've tried dozens of times to lure one to the door shortcut to cheese it out and I swear those two wolves must've been a newly wed couple in their past lives. Fromsofts A.i. scripting is some of the most hilariously spaghetti shit I've ever seen.
Just popping in to say that the "Dodging into the weapon hand" tip was SUPER useful. Makes the boss fights so much easier (so far...) and fun for that matter.
Helpful tip I learned as a new player, after defeating Father Gascoigne and getting 10 insight to see the bath messengers, you can buy his outfit from them for insight. It has slow and rapid poison resist! (Though, I think it lowers your defences, if I remember right)
I got my 1st character to about 50 something vit and realized it’s useless. All later characters have 30 vit and 20 end. Other stats vary based on my build
I'm very late to this, but I'd recommend fighting through the Yharnam street bit right at the start a few times. I did it as a beginner because I was too scared to go further without learning the game mechanics at least a little. You end up with a fair amount of bullets and blood vials which are super useful early game (mainly bullets though I'd say) and you get confident enough to face other enemies. ❤
Best Advice I Can give is Stay Calm. Getting frustrated only makes you more prone to making mistakes. If you feel like you cant do it, take a breather. An hour, a day, or a week. Just Stay calm and enjoy the game.
Pacing yourself can aid in will to complete the challenge before you, ignore this and you can suffer burnout really fast, which would suck because erhe souls games are amazing and teaches you patience and persistence, and over all make you a better gamer. No matter If your playing animal crossing or DooM Eternal on nightmare
i wish someone would've told me that before trying to get into the soulsborne series. my first game was ds3 and man have I ever been that angry at a videogame lmao
I took a week long break because I kept getting my ass handed to me by Gehrman. Then when I came back, I managed to down him during my first attempt that day. So definitely agree. Taking a breather is super important.
My #1 tip: Don't get impatient. Yes you want to get back to where you died, but getting impatient and rushing will make you die again. If you want to run to a boss fight, do it when you don't have resources to lose.
@GigaChad *Laughs in Clockwise Metamorphosis 3, Lake 3, Great Lake 3, and maximum Physical Resistance clothes to face-tank Bloodletting Beast's punches*
One tip I like to give new people is when you encounter a new enemy don’t attack them. Just dodge, dodge until you learn all their different attacks. Some enemies don’t attack in a timed rhythm and going in for an attack when you think they’re done attacking can hurt you very quickly
Having a torch as a backup extra hand weapon can be surprisingly useful, you can quickly create light in dark areas with no resources, certain enemies flinch from the open flame in your hand, and some can be grossly affected by fire.
@@brewckle New player to bloodborne (solely single player, i'm not good enough for multiplayer + don't see use to buy ps+ to do so) and even though I got the hip lantern I find it's weak lighting. So i'll still use the torch even with it equipped.
Tip: some large bosses like cleric beast, Amelia, Laurence, and Ludwig are easier to fight unlocked on if you can control the camera. The extra movement and I frames for the rolling animation helps.
@@beargrylls6135 I take it back, they apparently have the same amount of I frames. The i frames wouldn’t be the main difference, it’s mostly the extra movement in the opposite direction of wide swings. It gives a much bigger window, especially when the attack has a big hit box.
@@jasemayfield6853 Hitting after rolling is slower and you have different animations, so window to hit them is also smaller. I love how the sidestep feels. Suits the fast pace of the game well.
@@beargrylls6135 yeah I mostly sidestep, but the extra safety helped me when I was first learning Ludwig and I still use it on Laurence to this day. I also use it to avoid very specific attacks like Ludwig’s lunge attack.
Confidence. I tell a lot of my friends when playing this game the first time. I promise you that at least 45% of your deaths on first encounters with bosses will be from panic. The more confident you are, the better you'll play. It's a mind over matter type thing and it works. Once you learn to calm down, you start to notice certain things about bosses, patterns of attacks and most importantly you start making better decisions. You begin to think on your feet and adapt to situations much faster. In short, Your overall performance will increase, even if it's just by a bit, if you stay calm and play confidently
This, basically, though in my case I would call it focus more than confidence. I only started a little while ago, but after getting eaten by Gascoigne for the millionth time and nearly hurling my controller, something clicked in my head and went, "Stop. You KNOW what you're doing wrong, and you know WHY you keep doing it. Stop worrying about IF you get hit, and remember what to do WHEN you get hit." The next time I fought him I stomped him so hard, so fast, with so few blood vials that my previous losses seemed downright shameful. It was practically easy. Since then, that same click occurred after just one loss against Blood Starved Beast and Vicar Amelia and I rocked them both on the second go, and I wasn't even trying to win I just wanted to learn their attacks better. Even just reaching the old hunter workshop killed me over and over because I was trying to find a safe route, but as soon as I let that go and just accepted I was gonna take fall damage, got it in one. Shit is GOING to happen in Bloodborne. Know what to do next.
When in intense combat keep a level head, and remember if the enemy and you are both one hit the enemy will kill you if you don’t heal. It might ruin your momentum but it’s better to beat the enemy (especially bosses) and take an extra moment of time than it is to wake up back at the last lantern
This right here is such a damn good lesson and one I had to learn with that rando hunter in Old Yharnham. You may not want to give up momentum but sometimes you need to to make sure you don't overstretch yourself. Absolutely screwed myself a few times making that mistake.
Didn't he push me into a pool of acid in the nightmare frontier? 👀👀 Then...like, turn into a spider face dude in that weird school/house? It's been a while since I've played this game... can't forget how much I loved it!!
@@JazzyUnderscoreTrumpeter nooooooo that's not Patches that's a spider cosplaying as Patches, Patches is an upstanding citizen and would NEVER try to kill you.........multiple times
The best advice I can give, if someone is having a rough go of things, is to beat Cleric Beast and Father Gascoigne. I had broken at least one controller, and was about to ragequit this game for good. My buddy watching me play was like, "Dude, beat the first two bosses. Trust me." I did, and now Bloodborne is in my Top 5 games of all time. I'd also like to note that git gud is, in fact, legitimate advice.
I've beat every one of the souls games, except 2, I just can't get myself to like playing it. I've gone through 6 controllers in my 2.5k combined hours in the games. Controllers go bad fast
A few years ago when I started playing it took me sooooo long to beat father G. Maybe a couple days.I fought him maybe 40 times 😭 but I wasn’t using music box correctly and I wasn’t parrying! Now that I e been playing I’ve been using parry so much that it’s amazing !! I think it took me 3 tries to beat father G and he dies in about 4 well times parries !! I’m finally hooked on this game years later !!
@@Ginjitzu For me, it helped the mechanics sort of click. I had been stupid frustrated with the game and after beating them, I was like "alright, I can do this."
The final tip needed to be said. As many times as I died playing this game, whenever I did die, I knew it was on me. No amount of complaining was going to change that, I got good and Bloodborne has become my favourite game. Stay determined hunters! You got this!
If you really like using two handed weapons I highly reccomend upgrading arcane to the point you can use augur of abrietas. Because the tentacle summon parries 👀✨ meaning you can keep your weapon in 2 handed mode and still catch enemies and pvpers in a parry.
Angus Gee I came in here to point that out. All Skill build for me, every playthrough. My main character can three shot the woman in the DLC (spoilers so I'm not saying who) with viscerals.
That's why I actually would suggest people build BOTH Like, I've gotten through the game building both based on the numbers either gives me to my stats
Bloodborne was the first FromSoft game I played, having only seen clips of Dark Souls. I was scared shitless every time I saw a chest, as i was sure THIS one would turn out to be a Mimic
Being honest I had bought it after i beat dark souls 3, while I liked what I was playing just put it on the back burner for a bit think I got more into the souls series than bloodborne at the time. I played it again and beat after a year having it lol personally was just glad I got it beat some areas were some bs Now Currently revisiting for platinum trophy it's a good game but in all honesty took a minute to appreciate the gameplay it gets rough but I got Gerham to kill one last time and then I have the platinum then I can close this chapter in my path as a soulsborne player
NOTICE: Unless you are utilizing arcane in your build, NEVER use elemental (fire, bolt, arcane) blood gemstones. If you put an elemental gem on a weapon not using that element it will then make that weapon scale solely on the elemental damage and your arcane stat. If you plan on not touching the arcane stat at all don’t even touch an elemental gem. Only use elemental gems if you’re doing an arcane or arcane hybrid build.
Thx for this. New player and i pit a fire gem on my holy blade that also gave 12.7% dmg boost. And i noticed im hitting for a lot less. Now i know. My skill is 25 and my arcabe is 6..
@@Yourantsally Nah, LHD is a quality weapon because it scales the same with STR and SKL But I know due to its slow animations, it's better off with a STR build, but it doesn't hurt SKL builds to use LHD since it also has Thrust damage, further increasing Visceral's damage A +10 LHD has B scaling on STR and SKL, and A scaling on ARC It's one of the best weapons to put in elemental blood gems with ARC build
My advice: go into every boss fight with the acceptance of dying the first time. Just focus on their attacks and how to dodge and visceral them (if possible). These types of games are hard, so learning how an enemy attacks and what they’re weak to can either make or break the fight. Bosses attack differently, and if you don’t take the time to learn their move sets, you’re going to have a hard time. I usually give the bosses a couple soft tries my first go round before actually really trying. This allows me to learn when, how and where to dodge, and when to attack. It’s a hard game, but it’s all about patterns, and the more you focus on their patterns and how they move, the more ample you’ll be to overcome them. And if you’re really stuck-UA-cam that shit. These videos exist to help you, and there is no shame in using this as a resource, as you can plainly see. Overall: find a way to have fun. It is a video game after all. It’s meant to be enjoyed and once you get good at it, the enjoyment factor increases
Or you could, you know, actually try to kill them at your 1st try no? Why would you go in the arena with a mindset that you are gonna get killed. You are a god damn hunter! Their movesets aren't that hard to learn. Its a euphoric feeling when you kill them 1st try.
@@beargrylls6135 you play it your way, I play it mine. It’s a god damn video game after all. I’m not here to impress you or anyone else, just here to help people out, and share what works for me. But sure, cuss me out over something that really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things; let me know how that works out for ya
@@justondement4458 Hey, im not here to insult. I just made a point: the adrenaline rush you get from actually trying to kill them 1st try is cool. But yeah, usually more passive approach is easier. Im just not looking for a easy way out - I play soulsborne because of the thrill of it.
@@beargrylls6135 I get it. I didn’t mean to come off as mean, so I apologize. In my first official playthroughs of these games, that’s how I approach the bosses. I’m not the best at these games, so it takes me a couple soft tries to learn their move set. After beating the game once, I go back through on new game + and usually beat them on my first try. It is a euphoric feeling, yes, but beating them alone usually gives me that feeling. I still remember when I finally beat Martyr my first time. The rush I felt from beating that atrocious boss made me shut the game off to enjoy my accomplishment, rather than diving further and being locked behind another boss. I started playing the game again recently and I’ve been beating a lot of the bosses on my first try, for the exception of a couple. It still holds to be one of my most favorite games I’ve ever played, and one of the games that had stuck with me having conquered the game so far back when I wasn’t used to its difficulty
@Juston Dement I started BB when it was free on ps+, got stuck on Reborn and stopped playing for 3 years. Then I got more into souls games and spent easily over 200h in both ds2 and ds3. Now last month I got ps+ again and decided to give this game a chance, downloaded it and fuck yes I'm happy I did! I mostly remembered my way to Reborn but after that it was full blind playthrough. Last time I hated the dark athmosphere and these beast type enemies, was scared of the environment and enemies, scared to lose my echoes, and overall scared of the game. But now I've grown to love it. Lore plays a big role for me why I started to appreciate this game with totally different eyes. But with that said, this time this game felt so much easier than before. Experience carries over within Soulsborne and tbh I was little annoyed how easy it felt. Most tries I needed was 4 tries for Reborn and most of the bosses I killed in first try. Some of them gave amazing feeling but most just left me dissapointed because I was looking for the insane difficulty. But, this game is now easily my favorite game and can't wait to see all of the endings there is. I actually played with same strategy than you, 1 or 2 bosses and then I stopped, not because i'd get stuck, but I didnt want to consume whole game in few sessions. I found it very enjoyable and way less stressing.
@@br3hbmc79 That's awful advice. Using fire paper before engaging and then throwing a pungent cocktail at a wall, going ham with a threaded cane, and throwing another pungent cocktail after 4-5 swings is a lot safer and makes BSB a joke. Also, it's dodging to your left that will make you avoid all of his attacks.
Also, don’t just spam R1. Attack a couple of times and move. Attack after he does, couple of times and move. After I learnt this he was no longer a problem again.
After completing the game and picking between the enemies that give off frenzy like the white lanterns. I personally hate the brain suckers more than anything. In one run I gone from 99 insight to 60
Memorizing what enemies drop what can help u save on silver bullets and blood viles. The ogres in yharnam almost always drop blood viles so if u r low on health but u have not healed up yet, heal before collecting the drops so that u can keep as many blood viles or silver bullets on u as possible
I'll drop 2 pieces of advice. 1. Saw Cleaver = Old Reliable. Damn thing will un-tilt just about anybody. Great starter weapon, same with a saw-spear. Not exciting, I know, but they'll get you further into the game until you pick up something more badass/exotic. 2. Stick to da bootie. On bigger enemies especially, the butt is your safezone and target. First, pull of the dodge, second, SPANK DAT ASS, BITCH. I'm serious, game should have been called "Buttborne", aim for the ass, stick to the ass, spank the ass, every move when facing a large boss like the Cleric beast should be focused around the booty.
LMAO at your second piece of advice. Reminded me so much of fighting Vendrick in DS2, it felt umm.....nasty haha. It was funny because I really love his character and liked listening to the lore around him, but fighting him by following his
@@davethescrub858 Yeah! For exmple, mister guy-on-fire I won't spoil just in case. His second phase is "harder" than his first phase, but to me it's more predictable? I beat him on the second try in a new game ++ (Forgot him in the previous games xD)
You're going to have so much fun! I've been waiting for 4 years to join the hunt and it was well worth the wait! Also Pro tip: The blood rapture runes regain additional health from visceral attacks. Super helpful to heal without using blood viles.
These tips are insane. The 2 most critical, though, are: 1. Dodge INTO attacks. 2. Spend your goddamn Blood Echoes. You should still take the other tips into account, but these two need to be ingrained into you early on for the best experience.
Idk, familiarizing yourself with a bosses move patterns is pretty important too. I do admit I go tryhard and attempt first fight wins on bosses, yet I always play semi cautiously on new bosses to learn their move set. And by semi cautiously I mean I typically focus more on position management over trying to get hits. Going aggressive should be more of a position control versus spamming attacks. Spamming anything in this game is a good way to panic and hesitate.
Darker Daemon yeah, but if you don’t pick up the first two tips, there’s a risk you won’t even reach the first boss. I had a friend start Bloodborne without telling me, and they got so fed up with trying to get past the big bonfire, that even when I offered to help after them finally telling me, it was too late. Those first two tips would have given my buddy the boost he needed to at least explore central yarnham.
The dodge into attack tips is really situational though it really depend on the attack itself, this tips work 60% of the Time I would say it it is not for the use of the highframe
If the enemy has their weapon in their left hand, are you supposed to dodge to the right? Is that correct? So you dodge to the same place that they are holding their weapon? It was a little confusing for me, because in this part of the video he shows an enemy which has a torch in the other hand, and that enemy has messed me up many times with the torch lol. Also, if an enemy, like the executioner enemy, is two handing a weapon, where should you dodge?
The "Don't invest in both skill and strength" tip is misleading. Doing exactly that is an entirely viable strategy. It does lead to a scenario where you can use most weapons but it is not that they all suck, it is that only weapons with good scaling in both strength and skill will be effective. Some of these like the saw cleaver/spear and Ludwig's holy blade are amazing.
Totally agree. Despite the quality build not getting the spotlight nearly as much as in Dark Souls, it certainly still has its place in this game. Additionally, increasing both of those stats makes your defenses much more balanced, which is a boon in its own right. It isn't necessarily all about damage in this game.
@@Dave_ja_vu That's not entirely true because quality builds can still use most strength or skill weapons effectively, just not as much as a more focused hunter could. I'm saying quality builds are just as good for new players as strength or skill builds. Each has their ups and downs, but quality builds shouldn't be dismissed. My first run I was told to focus strength, then found I really really liked Ludwig's Holy Blade and had already leveled too much for an easy transition.
Dude why is everyone starting to replay all the souls games, it’s like getting layed off made everyone need to have some extra stress from just sitting home all day
As a solid and very experienced Bloodborne veteran, these tips are a gold mine, I pretty much already practice all of these tips, but the strength and skill stat tip, I actually didn’t know that, thanks for the video, makes me love Bloodborne that much more,
Never felt this game in the beginning, then i did watch some vids and i got hyped and did try it again.. and then i did beat the first boss and got addicted now i got this game platinum 😄
I feel the need to correct something in this video, in regards to STR/SKL; there is a reason you'll want to level both, depending on what weapon you'd like to use. Weapons that scale equally with Strength and Skill are called Quality weapons, and builds that level both Strength and Skill, are called Quality Builds. A C/C weapon with 25/25 STR SKL will provide you the same stat weight as an A/- weapon with 50 for its dedicated stat. Depending on the Class you start as -- a Soldier, for example -- your investment necessary to get your Quality Build off the ground can be minimal.
Another Tip: If you're playing online, leave notes. When a player rates one of your notes, you receive full hp. The number of times that has come in clutch is unreal. Don't get carried away and put them everywhere, but a nice tip or corny joke every once in a while is enjoyed by many in the community.
Not true, the game only allows you to leave 3-5 notes, beyond that it erases them, the oldest unrated one. Also if the note doesn't get rated for a few days, it is removed! Otherwise ALL of bloodborne would be covered with notes, lol!
One tip I have is *Experiment with the types of damage you can do*. Every enemy is weak to a differing type of damage. For example, Beasts are weak to fire and serrated damage, and Kin are weak to Bolt and Thrust if I remember correctly. So when you see an enemy that's just being an absolute wall in your way, experiment with the different kinds of damage you can deal, and you may just find that magic bullet that'll help you get a bit closer to killing said "wall".
@@VelmiArtrid true, but must thrust attack in my experience tend to be r2's, excluding things such as the Rifle Spear, the Reiterpalasch, or the church pick, and yeah, it is good to keep buff such as those on hand.
And always either have a weapon that can do both serrated and thrust or one of each. Enemies like the brainsuckers will not put up with your serrated bullshit and will eat attacks like pancakes. Poke 'em in the butt and they will fall like flies.
One I learnt is don't forget your weapon ranges and movements. Many of the weapons have little movements forwards during attacks and large sweeping attacks. Do not forget about these and apply them in combat, they can shave seconds off before enemies react and can help with crowds of enemies quite effectively.
3:40 Correction: visceral damage does not scale with weapon damage, true, HOWEVER, it does not scale with strength, there's 4 ways to get a stronger visceral: Level up skill Level up(visceral damage is also amplified by just leveling up in general) Putting visceral damage runes Having thrust damage and thrust damage gems on your weapon. This one's a bit weird, but you can notice it on some weapons, do a visceral with an axe and then one with a tonitrus, even if they do the same damage, the axe will deal more visceral damage, and this works only with weapons that have a thrust damage stat.
this is gonna end up changing how i play completely lmao i tend to work with skill/bloodtinge builds but never knew that thrust damage increased the power of visceral attacks
Tip: DON'T sleep on the Beastblood Pellets. There are plenty of times throughout the game where I was facing a tough boss and I felt I wasn't doing enough damage, so I used the Beastblood Pellets. Beastblood Pellets are most effective when using a weapon in its transformed state, and especially well in transforming attacks. The extra damage goes a long way. Keep the Beastblood bar up and the enemy's health bar down.
@@Crouch_Potato Pellets only increase damage given (depending on your Beasthood level and how full you keep the bar during the duration of the buff). As far as I can tell, the pellets do not increase damage received.
Have always been afraid of the increased damage you seem to receive using Pellets. I haven’t used them in a long time because of this. Maybe I should try again. Thanks.
@@crilleedara They can be useful, but I would recommend until you're familiar with an enemy to use them, since you could just as easily get one shot using these things
For Father Gascoigne .... Use the big statue or fountain or whatever it is on the right site of the place you fight. Especially in his second phase he will hunt and try to catch you but he can't crash through it. After my like 100.000th attempt I just ran around the statue, hit him one or two times, than kept running around it. With this he became a pretty easy first try 😂. Not the most elegant way but damn I was pissed of at this point 😅😂
Here's a tip for those who are having a difficult time with a boss: abuse beasthood. If you use a beast blood pellet, it increases your damage multiplier for every persistent hit. But IT WILL REDUCE YOUR DEFENSE IN RETURN. you can get Insane dps with the right armor and weapons, but your effectively a glass cannon for a period of time.
Finally going to play this tonight, I had trouble adapting to the 30fps when I first played it so I stopped after about 20minutes, but after finishing sekiro and ds3 for the hundredth time I'm in the mood for another souls game to play through!
Im in my senior year and im graduating in a few months but this game has literally sucked all my time. It has been a week since i got the game and i am proud to say i just completed it defeating all bosses (non dlc) and to finish it in a week is one of my proudest achievements as a games. I really hope anyone who is reading this and has not yet playes the game to do it because trust me it is worth it
Damn. You must play 24/7! Kidding. I know where your coming from. This is one of the games I have been coming back to since I preordered it years ago. Congrats, Bub!
Great video, Rusty! You've actually inspired me to start playing the game again, im definetly going to start my fifth playthrough tomorrow. Also, if i had to give one more tip to new players is to not save up all those coldblood dew items, its ok for a little while but i've caught myself holding on to them for the entire game, and when i finally use them they're worthless because i can just kill enemies to get echoes way faster.
Yeah it's definitely not like playing Dark Souls 3 where you can use soul items to instantly gain over a million souls. Having played DS 3 first this was a hard lesson to swallow. In Bloodborne you must work for your blood echos.
@Brendan Rickey yeah, coldblood dew gives you blood echoes (so currency), difference is that coldblood dew is an item and is not lost upon death, blood echoes are. (you have a chance to retrieve them once though) Good luck in Yharnam, good hunter!
So after I watched this, I have realized two things: 1. You can perform back stabs, 2. I actually was playing the game correctly it’s just hard normally....... yeet
Spend all of your insight before entering the upper cathedral ward: even the most seasoned hunters will get caught by brainsuckers. I'll usually beat mergos wet nurse and buy a blood rock to get myself down to 0 insight before the trip to UCW.
@@KAT-zz9dv Madman's knowledge gives you insight, which acts as a sort of secondary currency (there's a shop in the hunter's dream you can spend it on). Unlike echoes which you can endlessly farm, insight is a bit rarer. So yeah I hate those brain sucking bitches. Also, a certain level of insight will show you hidden stuff in some areas, and I have also read that with high enough insight enemy attack patterns change (cant confirm that though)
@@saadabbassre the latern church people gain new moves in the cathedral ward. But they’re the only enemies I’ve noticed. I’m running around at 99 insight and basically you just see a bunch of amygdala’s all over the buildings
9 years later and I just got my first copy of the game and im literally addicted. I’m currently crafting a mass text to send to my friends and family alerting them I won’t be seen for the next few months and not to worry.
Man this guide is so op, currently on my first play through & I was already pretty hooked, but now after applying all of this (at least what I wasn’t already doing) I’m straight addicted. it’s insane how happy I am to have finally picked this game up 🦾
thought of some of my own tips, i don’t kno w how helpful they’ll be for other players but it’s all things i try to keep in mind while playing: 1. molotovs annihilate the cleric beast. 2. visceral attack the living hell out of gascoigne, it takes chunks out of his health. most (if not all) of his attacks, both pre and post transformation, have pretty long wind ups that are easy to predict and parry. it feels a little cheap for me, but i honestly don’t feel that bad because of how many times he killed me on my first play through. in my experience, molotovs are also good against him in all phases but especially his last one. 3. get rid of your insight using the insight bath before fighting the witch of hemwick. walk in the first time and get the insight from starting the boss, use a bold hunters mark, and then level up and spend all of your insight at the insight bath. having no insight for that fight makes it the easiest boss in the game because it prevents certain monsters from spawning during the fight. 4. before fighting the blood starved beast, stock up on antidotes and talk to alfred in the cathedral ward to get fire paper. (there’s more in depth walkthroughs that show you where to find him, but basically, he’s praying at an altar on the way from the cathedral ward to old yharnam, walk up to him and tell him you want to cooperate for the fire paper). during the actual BSB fight, dodge left and go behind him to wail on him. 5. the way i got better at bosses that were difficult for me was using the small resonant bell to go help other players. you don’t lose your echoes when you die in other players’ worlds (i don’t think?), you get the same amount of echoes that the beckoner gets from bosses and enemies, you get insight after beating the boss, and it’s easier with other people while it also helps you learn, so it’s definitely worth it imo. the main downside is that using the bell takes a big chunk out of your health, so you should probably have a good vitality level and the league rune before using it. 6. it’s annoying, but i always try to kill all the little spiders during the rom fight before focusing on her. ive died a lot because of their stupid jump attack that i didn’t notice because i had my back turned/was beating up rom, so to avoid that, just kill the spiders. also, when killing them, go behind them instead of attacking their head because the head attacks don’t do as much damage. baiting them into their jump attack, dodging, and then attacking them when they’re upside down is another easy way to kill them. 7. get the dlc, imo it’s the best part of the game.
Definitely take advantage of the up arrow bullet retrieval feature. If you parry alot have 30 to 35 bullets at least in your storage. Bullets are the only storage item accessible while you're deployed in Yarnham. Take advantage of that. They are also the easiest way to deal with multiple dogs.
Three hours ago I got platinum. Lmao It's the first time I purposefuly try and get platinum on a game. Also my first From Software game; I bought it three years ago, hated it, and played it recently because Hollow Knight showed be the beauty of hard games.
There’s actually a unique attack that occurs when transforming weapons normally. Ludwig’s Holy Blade for example, has a (relatively) fast one-handed swing when you’re going from the straight sword to Greatsword and when doing the opposite you get a heavier two-handed swing than you normally do when using the smaller form. Experiment with weapons to see what each of these... post-transformative? attacks can do.
Yes I know exactly what you're talking about. The Ludwig's Holy Blade is the best example. Both its forms do an attack like this, but the other one is actually slower so I don't recommend it. I open up with the attack you mentioned quite often and it made me appreciate the game and attention to detail even more when I discovered it.
Certain trick and post-trick attacks are meant to extend a combo (the quick ones) and others seem to be better for outspacing, like after dodging, they also normally have ahigh damage, rally boost, and tend to stagger more often
@@ember3530 It's great because you can use that post-transform r1 1 handed greatsword slash to chain into the two handed horizontal slashes without going into the slam attack. so you can get 3 horizontal slashes with greatsword mode which is much faster and higher damage output than two slashes and the slam.
Luke Kusanagi The LHB is the only heavy weapon I use in most of the souls games, the only exception to that being in Demon's Souls where I found Large Swords to be my preferred choice. I usually find them too slow and with annoying quirks, like unchainable heavies or something of the like. The LHB solves this problem by giving a quick attack after transformation and also with the heavy amount of stagger damage it can dish out to make it viable in a game as fast paced as Bloodborne. The fact that it does a lot of damage is what makes the weapon so good. It's fast enough to be usable, it does great damage, it has even scaling across Strength and Skill, and it staggers enemies and bosses really easily. There's no question in my mind that it is the best weapon for PvE, even if it isn't my preferred choice.
I know I'm late, but here's a tip against NPC Hunters: use Bestial Roar to cheese them: you can knock them to the ground, then use the time to charge an R2 so you can give them a Visceral Attack, then repeat for as long as you have quicksilver. By the time you run out, they'll have lost most of their health. Another tip against NPC hunters: the wooden shield is actually usable against hunters who use light weapons like the cane or a sword; don't rely on it to stop a full combo, but use it to avoid being stunlocked by R1 spam
Links get auto-modded out of existence on UA-cam channels. I would post a link. But, it would end up in a bin and not be seen. The videos are all over UA-cam. Just do a search for 'Bloodborne OP in 10 minutes' or something similar.
Ah yes good ol’ ymfah. I honestly would say don’t follow any of his guides to be “OP in minutes” though because 1. They usually aren’t beginner friendly and 2. For a first play through I’d recommend just going through it as blind as you can for the full experience.
@@pierat3338 They aren't really made for new players in the first place I wouldn't say. They always seemed more for people trying to make new characters and such.
Never toss a weapon aside because you don't like it's moveset unless it's actively getting you railed. I used to hate the chikage because I found it's swings to be way too slow for being a "light" weapon. Now I'm going through a chikage focused build and loving every moment cause I took the time to explore the possibilities with it, be determined enough to enjoy the weapon you use and it'll destroy what you want it to.
One tip I always try to remember: "A smart Hunter takes stock of his surroundings, so as to not get backed into a corner or stuck on the environment in the heat of battle." If you're worried about an encounter you see ahead, take a little time to look around, plan where you want the enemy to fight you, and how much room you'll have to evade, because nothing sucks worse than getting backed into a corner or surrounded(or worse, both at the same time). Also, when fighting Mergo's Wet Nurse, when she pulls out her doppelganger, the best way to survive is unlock from her, and just start running in a massive circle around the room. As long as you keep moving(even when your stamina runs out) most of their attacks will miss you, and then once she's back to normal, you can re-lock and fight as normal.
Yeah if you enter an area and are ambushed or are destroyed by a trap you didn't see, explore the area before returning to that spot and more often than not Bloodborne will provide a more advantages avenue to get the drop on wouldbe ambushers or traps or bypass these hazards completely.
As someone who recently 100%'d Bloodborne,I had a fun time with it because of the challenge and the people I play with and personally, for me BloodBorne will go down in history
I would like to throw in that it's a good idea to take a break from fighting a boss if it's giving you a frustratingly hard time. There are a lot of hidden bosses that's re fairly easy to defeat. And don't be afraid to summon the old hunters for help if you see their summoning lamps they are there to help and it doesn't make you any less of a player to use them. I myself have to get help with Darkbeast Paarl every time because he is the bane of my very existence.
I found him, refused to fight Vicar Amelia before beating the shit out of him and basically grinded my way from lv40 to lv90 in a training arc to kill them. Finally did it with 50str and a +6 kirskhammer
When you feel like a boss is hard don’t smash your controller in rage rather, take a couple rounds against it to learn it’s Moveset, this is also true for all souls games
@Brendan Rickey no laughter here my friend we all have different paces, it's not a race. The main thing, that'll stand to you later, is that you don't give up.
Brendan Rickey you haven't quit DS3 either - you're on hiatus😉 I promise you, at some stage you will finish them. You'll end up finishing Bloodborne I believe, and gaining confidence from beating them to go back and beat those other games. Is the reason you want to kill Eileen for the blades of mercy? Because if its early in the game getting the 40k blood echoes to use it is an absolute grind anyway and will certainly impact your enjoyment of it. I would say make a choice, make it decisively, and stick to it. You can always make a different choice on your second playthrough so don't try think about it too much mate
I know I'm super duper late to this but here we go: If you get to a bunch of tall dudes with canes and weird, ghoul-looking faces, shoot them the moment they pick their cane off the ground to wack you. They have a VERY long parry window for some reason and if you don't parry them they can be a pretty annoying enemy to deal with.
This is one of the most honest and actually helpful tip videos I've seen, thank you. I've played a lot of dark souls and am new to bloodborne, but I think one tip that stands for all soulsborne games is not to panic. When death is close panicking will just quicken your demise, but if you stay calm you still have a chance of succeeding.
Amen. I'm early to souls like games, but i find i play much better if the game is muted and I'm listening to a podcast. Keeping calm and patient is key. Almost beat one of the early bosses on the first go that way... but then i panicked because i didn't understand it's fight patterns yet. Lol
@@raidonshin no joke, i unmuted the game for the first time when facing the cleric beast the 2nd time... the audio was chilling and amazing to listen too! But it didn't help me beat him lol. Lord blessed the mute button
The biggest thing that has helped me in Bloodborne and really all souls games is to take your time to learn enemy movesets. Especially in Bloodborne where it's so fast pace, learning how long an attack wind-up is going to take and when to doge or parry is incredibly important. Also if you're having trouble with parries, just keep practicing and try baiting attacks to allow some distance when trying to parry. Often times the enemy will miss anyways and you still get the parry.
If you've got the ability to do it, pick a weapon with a thrust attack somewhere in its move-set. You'll find yourself coming out of the game with much more insight when you realize just how low a brain sucker's thrust defense is.
Kin in general are pretty weak to thrust. On my first playthrough the saw cleaver that carried me through otherwise the whole game failed against them. So I then proceeded to wreck byrgenwerth with the rifle spear, then Isz chalice with the churchpick.
Lil tip from lil me: if you attack an enemy as they are dying you can get rally health. Also most enemies with large screams (pigs, snachers) are standing still during those screams, and can usually be backstabbed or just hit with a big move.
Something i do on a regular basics is when lets say there are crows in front of me and they hit me. I attack back expecting to get a hit. You will NEVER get the hit first. The game reads your moves a little bit. If you get hit after pressing the attack, stop pressing it and back off because the game will NOT let you get out of that as a winner

Dis you know that some weapons need both 50 str and 50 skl to be most effective like the Ludwig's holy blade.
You sound like a caring big bro here ^^ Not that I mind, it's just surprisingly out of character (love the care and passion that seeps throught your words about this game by the way).
@@turbochicken80 He meant just for start to spread out your points
6:51 Quick Silver bullets, you missed the best tip! Hit the UP button right before you start comboing on an enemy. The hits you land'll heal you back up thanks to the rally system, so as long as you're doing it right, you can have free QS bullets the entire game, no vial use necessary to counteract it.
To be fair, Bloodlickers are totally bullshit. Quite literally the only enemy in the game that is, really. Stupidly fast, have combo attacks, do WAY too much damage in one hit, can clear distances faster than any other enemy, are pretty much entirely dangerous except when at the hindquarters, have no parry windows (that I'm aware of), and are an absolute nightmare in Chalice dungeons (their only saving grace there is that they drop something really nice in the dungeons when they are killed off upon returning to a visceraled area). Their only real weakness they have is sticking to their hindquarters, but one should NEVER stand directly behind them, lest they wanna get bucked in the face by their back legs.
Also, free tip. When Father Logarius is about to enter phase 2 of his battle and go super saiyan, run up behind him, and visceral him. It'll cancel out his bullet deflecting aura and make phase 2 MUCH easier to handle on the whole. I learned that while doing a Lvl DIE run.
VERY IMPORTANT: Even if you have killed an enemy, smacking them a few times after and as they die will still trigger Rally and give you back health. So do that, it will save you more blood vials than you know.
I've learned this from the beginning accidentally and I still use it to my advantage
just noticed this the other day - so useful!!

Armor means practically nothing in this game. Dont overthink the clothing you are wearing. If you like it, wear it. It's all about looking good at the end of it. Fashion Souls baby.
Robby Glockson It’s kind of been like that for all the Souls games other than some very specific cases.
@@spacewizardpip1111 Not that much, poise is broken in dark souls and still has something to do with using a weapon's hyper armor in DS3. In bloodborne you can just get a couple seconds more before frenzing to death so yeah,I go naked to show off my abs😂
Not exactly, good arcane defense can really help u against bosses like Rom or Logarius
The only thing I can think of as useful stats for the armor is resistances. But thats easy to deal with because you can just throw gassy coin's armor on, beat BSB, then go right back to your favorite fashion souls after.
And that's what I love about this game! I love running around in cool ass clothes swinging cool ass weapons 😁
When fighting the Blood-Starved Beast, always, always, ALWAYS dodge left.
Yep and I've learned when fighting the Orphan Of Kos always dodge to ur right a split second before it hits you except the multi smash attack. I've never seen it fail yet
I wish i knew this. Once i got the boss too 1 hp literally no red health bar left and he grabbed me and if i knew this i would have saved time on not doing another 60 attempts trying to kill him
I’ve literally been fighting this boss for a year. Or rather, I’ve been stuck in Old Yharnam for the last year because I’ve been continually dying against the BSB and rage-quitting. lol
Same goes with Maria, dodge to your left!
@@mourningwoodward i was recently stuck for weeks. There's a way to cheese it with blood pellets, fire paper and beast pearls, but i managed to waste them all and fucked it up. They don't sell them in the shop until you kill it. 🙄
There's a clip of a guy killing it with no hits and it helped me a lot with the timing of the dodges. As the OP mentioned, it's best to dodge left, even if I didn't realize it, i was unconsciously doing it too.
"You bought this game to be challenged"

Well... Did y'all enjoy it?
ItzMrinyYø I have nearly 14 hours in the game and still haven't beat the cleric beast, and yet keep coming back for some reason. Somehow, it's one of my favorite games.
Bonus tip: When you play this game, just accept the fact that you’re going to die. It’s okay to get mad, but just accept the deaths and keep going, and don’t be afraid to take the game in small doses if you get frustrated. Made the game more enjoyable for me
had to remind myself of that when playing sekiro
Recently picked it back up. First couple times it was 30 minutes or so. Next couple times 1-2 hours. Now I’m back into the binging sessions of self loathing and great personal triumph. Best SoulsBorne game IMO.
@@CamoHSU2310 Outstanding
Well said indeed
It took me literal years to learn this lesson. Bought the game due to a combination of hype, interest in the setting and story, and it was on sale. The first few tries at it ruined my morale. It wasn't until I watched someone play BB who knew almost every little thing about it, and was immediately inspired to get in there and try again, however this time without putting all the pressure on myself to succeed immediately. I began playing the game in bursts to maximise my enjoyment while minimising frustration. It is now one of my all time favourite games.
I love how bold this game is. No matter how many times you die, the game won’t falter it’s difficulty.
You either adapt to the challenge and win, or you quit. End of story.
Then you'll probably like dark souls as well if this is your first time hearing of them
Or you grind until your character is OP and abuse ridiculous damage whilst using broken weapons like Ludwig’s holy blade 🤪
Nah in all seriousness your right though, it’s a challenging game that requires you to adapt and it’s all the better for it
@@jbryan985 or you go to a certain chalice dungeon for passive grinding and max your stats before getting to Amelia

My tip:
Dont be afraid to take a break. If you are getting frustrated and not having any fun at all, stop. Come back to it later, whether that's the same day, later that week, or even months later.
Personally, my first block was Gascoigne. I wasn't having fun, stopped for a couple months, then came back and made some progress. Next the Blood Starved Beast was another wall. Shorter break this time, only a month or so, then when I came back it finally clicked. I've loved this game ever since.
I tell people this all the time, and it goes for any game. Why are you going to sit there and yell at the TV and only make things worse for yourself, instead of just switching games for a bit and taking a breather, you know?
Best advice you can give. At BSB now and I find myself begrudgingly returning and losing and thinking "ugh, I gotta go grind shit again?!". It's seems like a good game but very unforgiving if youre new and unfamiliar or a tad wasteful with supplies.
The size and scope of what remains in this game, judging from some of these review/tip vids is daunting too when considering how early on one is in the game.
Could not for the life of me beat orphan of kos then came back almost a whole year later and beat him on the third try
Gascoigne is so hard but littke by little im so close to beating him

Sometimes it does fuck up, I'll agree.
But like. 90% of the time, it'd be because you did something wrong.
Like, if I die because I got stuck in a corner? That's definitely the game's fault.
But if I die because I wasn't quick enough to dodge? Or got greedy? Definitely my fault.

I don’t have the ability to buy more poison throwing knives - I used all the ones that I found as treasures when exploring. 😩
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Technically Djura (The guy on the tower) isn't a boss. If you ignore him and kill Darkbeast Paarl, he becomes friendly to you and stops shooting.

Tip 16: Don’t Underestimate the Pebble
Seriously, Pebbles and Throwing Knives are great tools to pull SINGLE enemies. There is no shared aggro in this game. Yes, enemies will turn towards the impact of the damage, but so long as you stay out of their lines of sight you will be fine to pull away one enemy from a group.
I swear those two werewolves on the bridge have shared aggro

"Don't overlevel a stat"
*Laughs in 99 vitality because I didn't know much about stats*
I got my 1st character to about 50 something vit and realized it’s useless. All later characters have 30 vit and 20 end. Other stats vary based on my build
30 Vit is a must if you don’t like 1-shot deaths.
*Laughs in 99 Arcane because hunter tools like Auger of Ebria-however-the-F-that's-spelled have no cap for scaling*
@ZennyoRealOne can you even do that? I thought there was a maximum lvl
@ZennyoRealOne but it does allow for 99 in all stats? or is 544 the limit BECAUSE all stats must be maxed to reach it?
Bonus tip: when getting more bullets, do it right before killing a weaker enemy to rally back the health
I will usually bait an attack from a single mob, then blood bullet and counter. I rarely lose any health this way.
Oh shit. Thanks for the tip :D
If only I know to use this during my Bloodtinge run...
This is genius
I'm very late to this, but I'd recommend fighting through the Yharnam street bit right at the start a few times. I did it as a beginner because I was too scared to go further without learning the game mechanics at least a little. You end up with a fair amount of bullets and blood vials which are super useful early game (mainly bullets though I'd say) and you get confident enough to face other enemies. ❤
exactly what I just did. Allowed me to get used to the mechanics and build up some currency to level up before the first two bosses in the area
Best Advice I Can give is Stay Calm. Getting frustrated only makes you more prone to making mistakes. If you feel like you cant do it, take a breather. An hour, a day, or a week. Just Stay calm and enjoy the game.
This.
Pacing yourself can aid in will to complete the challenge before you, ignore this and you can suffer burnout really fast, which would suck because erhe souls games are amazing and teaches you patience and persistence, and over all make you a better gamer. No matter If your playing animal crossing or DooM Eternal on nightmare
i wish someone would've told me that before trying to get into the soulsborne series. my first game was ds3 and man have I ever been that angry at a videogame lmao
I took a week long break because I kept getting my ass handed to me by Gehrman. Then when I came back, I managed to down him during my first attempt that day. So definitely agree. Taking a breather is super important.
Wish someone told me this when I started blood borne lol
My #1 tip: Don't get impatient. Yes you want to get back to where you died, but getting impatient and rushing will make you die again. If you want to run to a boss fight, do it when you don't have resources to lose.

One tip I like to give new people is when you encounter a new enemy don’t attack them. Just dodge, dodge until you learn all their different attacks. Some enemies don’t attack in a timed rhythm and going in for an attack when you think they’re done attacking can hurt you very quickly
Visceral Attacks can provide a temporary immunity to Frenzy triggers. If you time it right
There's footage somewhere in the video of me doing this by complete accident. I should've mentioned it... Lol
I hate dogs in soulsborne but winter lanterns I hate with a fucking passion 😆
I think I saw that on footage as well. Another tip!
If you're very skilled, if you roll at the right moment you can avoid frenzy damage with I-frames.
That little trick is the only thing that keeps me sane when it comes to Winter Lanterns
Having a torch as a backup extra hand weapon can be surprisingly useful, you can quickly create light in dark areas with no resources, certain enemies flinch from the open flame in your hand, and some can be grossly affected by fire.
there is also a lantern that you can use for light instead which also lets you use both left and right hand weapons
First learned of that in Old Yharnam. They can't gank you easily with a torch.
@@brewckle New player to bloodborne (solely single player, i'm not good enough for multiplayer + don't see use to buy ps+ to do so) and even though I got the hip lantern I find it's weak lighting. So i'll still use the torch even with it equipped.
Jesse Allen :/
I think that the brightness of the torch can also be a good emotional support in dark places that you can quickly change to, or maybe that is just me.
Tip: some large bosses like cleric beast, Amelia, Laurence, and Ludwig are easier to fight unlocked on if you can control the camera. The extra movement and I frames for the rolling animation helps.
So do you actually get more i-frames with rolling than stepping?!?
I would like to know the answer to the question that the first reply asked as well.
@@beargrylls6135 I take it back, they apparently have the same amount of I frames. The i frames wouldn’t be the main difference, it’s mostly the extra movement in the opposite direction of wide swings. It gives a much bigger window, especially when the attack has a big hit box.
@@jasemayfield6853 Hitting after rolling is slower and you have different animations, so window to hit them is also smaller. I love how the sidestep feels. Suits the fast pace of the game well.
@@beargrylls6135 yeah I mostly sidestep, but the extra safety helped me when I was first learning Ludwig and I still use it on Laurence to this day. I also use it to avoid very specific attacks like Ludwig’s lunge attack.
Confidence.
I tell a lot of my friends when playing this game the first time. I promise you that at least 45% of your deaths on first encounters with bosses will be from panic. The more confident you are, the better you'll play. It's a mind over matter type thing and it works. Once you learn to calm down, you start to notice certain things about bosses, patterns of attacks and most importantly you start making better decisions. You begin to think on your feet and adapt to situations much faster.
In short, Your overall performance will increase, even if it's just by a bit, if you stay calm and play confidently
This, basically, though in my case I would call it focus more than confidence. I only started a little while ago, but after getting eaten by Gascoigne for the millionth time and nearly hurling my controller, something clicked in my head and went, "Stop. You KNOW what you're doing wrong, and you know WHY you keep doing it. Stop worrying about IF you get hit, and remember what to do WHEN you get hit." The next time I fought him I stomped him so hard, so fast, with so few blood vials that my previous losses seemed downright shameful. It was practically easy. Since then, that same click occurred after just one loss against Blood Starved Beast and Vicar Amelia and I rocked them both on the second go, and I wasn't even trying to win I just wanted to learn their attacks better. Even just reaching the old hunter workshop killed me over and over because I was trying to find a safe route, but as soon as I let that go and just accepted I was gonna take fall damage, got it in one. Shit is GOING to happen in Bloodborne. Know what to do next.
@@Gagoushou Yeah, pretty much the same thing. Mainly just being calm under fire. And bloodborne is 80% fire

When in intense combat keep a level head, and remember if the enemy and you are both one hit the enemy will kill you if you don’t heal. It might ruin your momentum but it’s better to beat the enemy (especially bosses) and take an extra moment of time than it is to wake up back at the last lantern

The best advice I can give, if someone is having a rough go of things, is to beat Cleric Beast and Father Gascoigne. I had broken at least one controller, and was about to ragequit this game for good. My buddy watching me play was like, "Dude, beat the first two bosses. Trust me." I did, and now Bloodborne is in my Top 5 games of all time. I'd also like to note that git gud is, in fact, legitimate advice.
I've beat every one of the souls games, except 2, I just can't get myself to like playing it. I've gone through 6 controllers in my 2.5k combined hours in the games. Controllers go bad fast
A few years ago when I started playing it took me sooooo long to beat father G. Maybe a couple days.I fought him maybe 40 times 😭 but I wasn’t using music box correctly and I wasn’t parrying! Now that I e been playing I’ve been using parry so much that it’s amazing !! I think it took me 3 tries to beat father G and he dies in about 4 well times parries !! I’m finally hooked on this game years later !!
Why is it important to beat those bosses in particular?
@@Ginjitzu they’re arguably two of the more difficult bosses in the entire game, especially with how early on you encounter them.
@@Ginjitzu For me, it helped the mechanics sort of click. I had been stupid frustrated with the game and after beating them, I was like "alright, I can do this."
Just a minor nitpick, the damage from visceral attacks actually scales based on your level not with strength, but skill does have an effect
And weapons Dude🤷
@@CUSTOM_V9 only thrust damage it doesn’t scale with the rest of your weapon
Notice you literally don't have your weapon in hand when doing a visceral.
The dodge in Bloodborne is like having Evade skill in Monster Hunter. You're basically invulnerable within a few frames when you dodge.
The only problem being that MH does not revolve around dodging as a way to save yourself from an attack, unless you're inhumanly good at it.
@@goddamnpiero6153 so what when its different games. Its still true for bb
The final tip needed to be said. As many times as I died playing this game, whenever I did die, I knew it was on me. No amount of complaining was going to change that, I got good and Bloodborne has become my favourite game. Stay determined hunters! You got this!
If you really like using two handed weapons I highly reccomend upgrading arcane to the point you can use augur of abrietas. Because the tentacle summon parries 👀✨ meaning you can keep your weapon in 2 handed mode and still catch enemies and pvpers in a parry.
Visceral attacks only scale with skill, not strength.
Angus Gee I came in here to point that out. All Skill build for me, every playthrough. My main character can three shot the woman in the DLC (spoilers so I'm not saying who) with viscerals.
I gave u a like cause thats facts
I thought it did scale with strength but it's so little it doesn't matter
That's why I actually would suggest people build BOTH
Like, I've gotten through the game building both based on the numbers either gives me to my stats
Don't forget, the thrust attack of your weapon also adds to your damage.
Tip 16: “Try thrust but hole”
As funny as it is, it’s actually true
Heyyy game grumps reference
I know right. Many people see it as a meme, but others who know the game well know that 70% of the mobs in the game are weak to thrust attacks. 😋

Being honest I had bought it after i beat dark souls 3, while I liked what I was playing just put it on the back burner for a bit think I got more into the souls series than bloodborne at the time.
I played it again and beat after a year having it lol personally was just glad I got it beat some areas were some bs
Now Currently revisiting for platinum trophy it's a good game but in all honesty took a minute to appreciate the gameplay it gets rough but I got Gerham to kill one last time and then I have the platinum then I can close this chapter in my path as a soulsborne player

NOTICE: Unless you are utilizing arcane in your build, NEVER use elemental (fire, bolt, arcane) blood gemstones. If you put an elemental gem on a weapon not using that element it will then make that weapon scale solely on the elemental damage and your arcane stat. If you plan on not touching the arcane stat at all don’t even touch an elemental gem. Only use elemental gems if you’re doing an arcane or arcane hybrid build.
Thx for this. New player and i pit a fire gem on my holy blade that also gave 12.7% dmg boost. And i noticed im hitting for a lot less. Now i know. My skill is 25 and my arcabe is 6..

@@Yourantsally Nah, LHD is a quality weapon because it scales the same with STR and SKL
But I know due to its slow animations, it's better off with a STR build, but it doesn't hurt SKL builds to use LHD since it also has Thrust damage, further increasing Visceral's damage
A +10 LHD has B scaling on STR and SKL, and A scaling on ARC
It's one of the best weapons to put in elemental blood gems with ARC build
My advice: go into every boss fight with the acceptance of dying the first time. Just focus on their attacks and how to dodge and visceral them (if possible). These types of games are hard, so learning how an enemy attacks and what they’re weak to can either make or break the fight. Bosses attack differently, and if you don’t take the time to learn their move sets, you’re going to have a hard time. I usually give the bosses a couple soft tries my first go round before actually really trying. This allows me to learn when, how and where to dodge, and when to attack. It’s a hard game, but it’s all about patterns, and the more you focus on their patterns and how they move, the more ample you’ll be to overcome them. And if you’re really stuck-UA-cam that shit. These videos exist to help you, and there is no shame in using this as a resource, as you can plainly see. Overall: find a way to have fun. It is a video game after all. It’s meant to be enjoyed and once you get good at it, the enjoyment factor increases
Or you could, you know, actually try to kill them at your 1st try no? Why would you go in the arena with a mindset that you are gonna get killed. You are a god damn hunter! Their movesets aren't that hard to learn. Its a euphoric feeling when you kill them 1st try.

@@justondement4458 Hey, im not here to insult. I just made a point: the adrenaline rush you get from actually trying to kill them 1st try is cool. But yeah, usually more passive approach is easier. Im just not looking for a easy way out - I play soulsborne because of the thrill of it.
@@beargrylls6135 I get it. I didn’t mean to come off as mean, so I apologize. In my first official playthroughs of these games, that’s how I approach the bosses. I’m not the best at these games, so it takes me a couple soft tries to learn their move set. After beating the game once, I go back through on new game + and usually beat them on my first try. It is a euphoric feeling, yes, but beating them alone usually gives me that feeling. I still remember when I finally beat Martyr my first time. The rush I felt from beating that atrocious boss made me shut the game off to enjoy my accomplishment, rather than diving further and being locked behind another boss. I started playing the game again recently and I’ve been beating a lot of the bosses on my first try, for the exception of a couple. It still holds to be one of my most favorite games I’ve ever played, and one of the games that had stuck with me having conquered the game so far back when I wasn’t used to its difficulty
@Juston Dement I started BB when it was free on ps+, got stuck on Reborn and stopped playing for 3 years. Then I got more into souls games and spent easily over 200h in both ds2 and ds3. Now last month I got ps+ again and decided to give this game a chance, downloaded it and fuck yes I'm happy I did! I mostly remembered my way to Reborn but after that it was full blind playthrough. Last time I hated the dark athmosphere and these beast type enemies, was scared of the environment and enemies, scared to lose my echoes, and overall scared of the game. But now I've grown to love it. Lore plays a big role for me why I started to appreciate this game with totally different eyes. But with that said, this time this game felt so much easier than before. Experience carries over within Soulsborne and tbh I was little annoyed how easy it felt. Most tries I needed was 4 tries for Reborn and most of the bosses I killed in first try. Some of them gave amazing feeling but most just left me dissapointed because I was looking for the insane difficulty. But, this game is now easily my favorite game and can't wait to see all of the endings there is.
I actually played with same strategy than you, 1 or 2 bosses and then I stopped, not because i'd get stuck, but I didnt want to consume whole game in few sessions. I found it very enjoyable and way less stressing.
For those struggling against the blood starved beast: stock up on blood cocktails and antidote.
To add on, dodge to his right, kite into open area, oil urns, fire damage and serrated weapons work best
But try a couple of times before completely cheesing it with blood cocktails, fire paper and a serrated weapon
@@br3hbmc79 That's awful advice. Using fire paper before engaging and then throwing a pungent cocktail at a wall, going ham with a threaded cane, and throwing another pungent cocktail after 4-5 swings is a lot safer and makes BSB a joke. Also, it's dodging to your left that will make you avoid all of his attacks.
Also, don’t just spam R1. Attack a couple of times and move. Attack after he does, couple of times and move. After I learnt this he was no longer a problem again.

Memorizing what enemies drop what can help u save on silver bullets and blood viles. The ogres in yharnam almost always drop blood viles so if u r low on health but u have not healed up yet, heal before collecting the drops so that u can keep as many blood viles or silver bullets on u as possible
I'll drop 2 pieces of advice.
1. Saw Cleaver = Old Reliable. Damn thing will un-tilt just about anybody. Great starter weapon, same with a saw-spear. Not exciting, I know, but they'll get you further into the game until you pick up something more badass/exotic.
2. Stick to da bootie. On bigger enemies especially, the butt is your safezone and target. First, pull of the dodge, second, SPANK DAT ASS, BITCH. I'm serious, game should have been called "Buttborne", aim for the ass, stick to the ass, spank the ass, every move when facing a large boss like the Cleric beast should be focused around the booty.

You're going to have so much fun! I've been waiting for 4 years to join the hunt and it was well worth the wait! Also Pro tip: The blood rapture runes regain additional health from visceral attacks. Super helpful to heal without using blood viles.
All bosses second and next phases are harder, and if there're more than one per arena, spread damage before you trigger next asskickin'
These tips are insane. The 2 most critical, though, are:
1. Dodge INTO attacks.
2. Spend your goddamn Blood Echoes.
You should still take the other tips into account, but these two need to be ingrained into you early on for the best experience.
You're right. I think i didnt parry more than 10 times during my +150 h playthrough. I just dodged forward to get the back of the enemy every time
Idk, familiarizing yourself with a bosses move patterns is pretty important too. I do admit I go tryhard and attempt first fight wins on bosses, yet I always play semi cautiously on new bosses to learn their move set. And by semi cautiously I mean I typically focus more on position management over trying to get hits. Going aggressive should be more of a position control versus spamming attacks. Spamming anything in this game is a good way to panic and hesitate.
Darker Daemon yeah, but if you don’t pick up the first two tips, there’s a risk you won’t even reach the first boss. I had a friend start Bloodborne without telling me, and they got so fed up with trying to get past the big bonfire, that even when I offered to help after them finally telling me, it was too late.
Those first two tips would have given my buddy the boost he needed to at least explore central yarnham.
@@curts7801 I wasn't refuting those two tips, just offering a third in line.
The dodge into attack tips is really situational though it really depend on the attack itself, this tips work 60% of the Time I would say it it is not for the use of the highframe
Really appreciate the advice on dodging towards the enemy's dominant/weapon holding side, and about parry timing.
If the enemy has their weapon in their left hand, are you supposed to dodge to the right? Is that correct?
So you dodge to the same place that they are holding their weapon?
It was a little confusing for me, because in this part of the video he shows an enemy which has a torch in the other hand, and that enemy has messed me up many times with the torch lol.
Also, if an enemy, like the executioner enemy, is two handing a weapon, where should you dodge?
The "Don't invest in both skill and strength" tip is misleading. Doing exactly that is an entirely viable strategy. It does lead to a scenario where you can use most weapons but it is not that they all suck, it is that only weapons with good scaling in both strength and skill will be effective. Some of these like the saw cleaver/spear and Ludwig's holy blade are amazing.
Totally agree. Despite the quality build not getting the spotlight nearly as much as in Dark Souls, it certainly still has its place in this game. Additionally, increasing both of those stats makes your defenses much more balanced, which is a boon in its own right. It isn't necessarily all about damage in this game.
Don't think quality builds is something a beginner should be thinking of, limits the weapons they can use well
@@Dave_ja_vu So does going into any damage scaling stat.
@@bread1958 true, but there's more weapons available if you focus on just one of those, than the weapons that just scale with both
@@Dave_ja_vu That's not entirely true because quality builds can still use most strength or skill weapons effectively, just not as much as a more focused hunter could. I'm saying quality builds are just as good for new players as strength or skill builds. Each has their ups and downs, but quality builds shouldn't be dismissed. My first run I was told to focus strength, then found I really really liked Ludwig's Holy Blade and had already leveled too much for an easy transition.

Same. The chalice dungeon blood queen took a while to get to.
I feel the need to correct something in this video, in regards to STR/SKL; there is a reason you'll want to level both, depending on what weapon you'd like to use. Weapons that scale equally with Strength and Skill are called Quality weapons, and builds that level both Strength and Skill, are called Quality Builds. A C/C weapon with 25/25 STR SKL will provide you the same stat weight as an A/- weapon with 50 for its dedicated stat. Depending on the Class you start as -- a Soldier, for example -- your investment necessary to get your Quality Build off the ground can be minimal.
Another Tip: If you're playing online, leave notes. When a player rates one of your notes, you receive full hp. The number of times that has come in clutch is unreal. Don't get carried away and put them everywhere, but a nice tip or corny joke every once in a while is enjoyed by many in the community.
Finger but hole
Not true, the game only allows you to leave 3-5 notes, beyond that it erases them, the oldest unrated one. Also if the note doesn't get rated for a few days, it is removed! Otherwise ALL of bloodborne would be covered with notes, lol!
@@kbites8438 How does that discredit anything I've said?
One tip I have is *Experiment with the types of damage you can do*. Every enemy is weak to a differing type of damage. For example, Beasts are weak to fire and serrated damage, and Kin are weak to Bolt and Thrust if I remember correctly. So when you see an enemy that's just being an absolute wall in your way, experiment with the different kinds of damage you can deal, and you may just find that magic bullet that'll help you get a bit closer to killing said "wall".
Valuable tip, thank you
Pretty much every enemy in the game is weak to thrust, and it's always good to keep fire and lightning papers on you.
@@VelmiArtrid true, but must thrust attack in my experience tend to be r2's, excluding things such as the Rifle Spear, the Reiterpalasch, or the church pick, and yeah, it is good to keep buff such as those on hand.
And always either have a weapon that can do both serrated and thrust or one of each. Enemies like the brainsuckers will not put up with your serrated bullshit and will eat attacks like pancakes. Poke 'em in the butt and they will fall like flies.
I just dodge their attacks and hit them. They die either way
One I learnt is don't forget your weapon ranges and movements. Many of the weapons have little movements forwards during attacks and large sweeping attacks. Do not forget about these and apply them in combat, they can shave seconds off before enemies react and can help with crowds of enemies quite effectively.

Correction: visceral damage does not scale with weapon damage, true, HOWEVER, it does not scale with strength, there's 4 ways to get a stronger visceral:
Level up skill
Level up(visceral damage is also amplified by just leveling up in general)
Putting visceral damage runes
Having thrust damage and thrust damage gems on your weapon.
This one's a bit weird, but you can notice it on some weapons, do a visceral with an axe and then one with a tonitrus, even if they do the same damage, the axe will deal more visceral damage, and this works only with weapons that have a thrust damage stat.
Thank you! I was wondering why other people weren't saying this! I love Rusty, but I was like "that's not how that works, you donut!"
this is gonna end up changing how i play completely lmao
i tend to work with skill/bloodtinge builds but never knew that thrust damage increased the power of visceral attacks
@@grxssly_incandescent2316 it's why the church pick is so damn good.
Trust damage is the way to go in bloodborne.
Tip: DON'T sleep on the Beastblood Pellets. There are plenty of times throughout the game where I was facing a tough boss and I felt I wasn't doing enough damage, so I used the Beastblood Pellets. Beastblood Pellets are most effective when using a weapon in its transformed state, and especially well in transforming attacks. The extra damage goes a long way. Keep the Beastblood bar up and the enemy's health bar down.
Glass cannon strats in bloodborne do pay off well. (I'm not crazy right? Beastblood Pellets do increase both damage given and received?)
@@Crouch_Potato Pellets only increase damage given (depending on your Beasthood level and how full you keep the bar during the duration of the buff). As far as I can tell, the pellets do not increase damage received.
Woow, interesting tip, I totally gotta try that one out!!
Have always been afraid of the increased damage you seem to receive using Pellets. I haven’t used them in a long time because of this. Maybe I should try again. Thanks.
@@crilleedara They can be useful, but I would recommend until you're familiar with an enemy to use them, since you could just as easily get one shot using these things
For Father Gascoigne .... Use the big statue or fountain or whatever it is on the right site of the place you fight. Especially in his second phase he will hunt and try to catch you but he can't crash through it. After my like 100.000th attempt I just ran around the statue, hit him one or two times, than kept running around it. With this he became a pretty easy first try 😂. Not the most elegant way but damn I was pissed of at this point 😅😂
Or just parry
Parry with your gun when he gets big and also use Molotovs

Here's a tip for those who are having a difficult time with a boss: abuse beasthood. If you use a beast blood pellet, it increases your damage multiplier for every persistent hit. But IT WILL REDUCE YOUR DEFENSE IN RETURN. you can get Insane dps with the right armor and weapons, but your effectively a glass cannon for a period of time.
U learned from cowboy
I just start the game 2 weeks ago and now i'm very close to the end, level 70 and i think this is the best game I've played on years
Good for you dude!!!
I’m glad to see one of my favorite games being loved by new players. I’ve played through at least 20 times by now. Maybe more. It’s amazing.
Finally going to play this tonight, I had trouble adapting to the 30fps when I first played it so I stopped after about 20minutes, but after finishing sekiro and ds3 for the hundredth time I'm in the mood for another souls game to play through!
Im in my senior year and im graduating in a few months but this game has literally sucked all my time. It has been a week since i got the game and i am proud to say i just completed it defeating all bosses (non dlc) and to finish it in a week is one of my proudest achievements as a games. I really hope anyone who is reading this and has not yet playes the game to do it because trust me it is worth it
Damn. You must play 24/7! Kidding. I know where your coming from. This is one of the games I have been coming back to since I preordered it years ago. Congrats, Bub!
Great video, Rusty! You've actually inspired me to start playing the game again, im definetly going to start my fifth playthrough tomorrow. Also, if i had to give one more tip to new players is to not save up all those coldblood dew items, its ok for a little while but i've caught myself holding on to them for the entire game, and when i finally use them they're worthless because i can just kill enemies to get echoes way faster.
Yeah it's definitely not like playing Dark Souls 3 where you can use soul items to instantly gain over a million souls. Having played DS 3 first this was a hard lesson to swallow. In Bloodborne you must work for your blood echos.
@Brendan Rickey yeah, coldblood dew gives you blood echoes (so currency), difference is that coldblood dew is an item and is not lost upon death, blood echoes are. (you have a chance to retrieve them once though) Good luck in Yharnam, good hunter!
So after I watched this, I have realized two things: 1. You can perform back stabs, 2. I actually was playing the game correctly it’s just hard normally....... yeet

Me: Laughs with Ludwig’s Holy Blade.
Yeah that tip is more or less not true. Some weapons need both stats to be at their full potential.
This, quality builds are a thing in this game. 100%
Spend all of your insight before entering the upper cathedral ward: even the most seasoned hunters will get caught by brainsuckers.
I'll usually beat mergos wet nurse and buy a blood rock to get myself down to 0 insight before the trip to UCW.
I have 70+ hrs and I'm not amazing but I'm decent and still get butt touched by those cunts
Are you referring to madman's knowledge? I'm 20 hours in and I still don't its purpose aside from activating the doll
@@KAT-zz9dv Madman's knowledge gives you insight, which acts as a sort of secondary currency (there's a shop in the hunter's dream you can spend it on). Unlike echoes which you can endlessly farm, insight is a bit rarer. So yeah I hate those brain sucking bitches. Also, a certain level of insight will show you hidden stuff in some areas, and I have also read that with high enough insight enemy attack patterns change (cant confirm that though)
@@saadabbassre the latern church people gain new moves in the cathedral ward. But they’re the only enemies I’ve noticed. I’m running around at 99 insight and basically you just see a bunch of amygdala’s all over the buildings
9 years later and I just got my first copy of the game and im literally addicted. I’m currently crafting a mass text to send to my friends and family alerting them I won’t be seen for the next few months and not to worry.
Tip: beware the WELL
Why are there autistic sharks chasing me?
tip: stones, use em, singles out enemies faster than electrolysis
Man this guide is so op, currently on my first play through & I was already pretty hooked, but now after applying all of this (at least what I wasn’t already doing) I’m straight addicted. it’s insane how happy I am to have finally picked this game up 🦾
What emoji is that? I’ve never seen it before lol.
"you know, these guys with eyes on their face"
thought of some of my own tips, i don’t kno
w how helpful they’ll be for other players but it’s all things i try to keep in mind while playing:
1. molotovs annihilate the cleric beast.
2. visceral attack the living hell out of gascoigne, it takes chunks out of his health. most (if not all) of his attacks, both pre and post transformation, have pretty long wind ups that are easy to predict and parry. it feels a little cheap for me, but i honestly don’t feel that bad because of how many times he killed me on my first play through. in my experience, molotovs are also good against him in all phases but especially his last one.
3. get rid of your insight using the insight bath before fighting the witch of hemwick. walk in the first time and get the insight from starting the boss, use a bold hunters mark, and then level up and spend all of your insight at the insight bath. having no insight for that fight makes it the easiest boss in the game because it prevents certain monsters from spawning during the fight.
4. before fighting the blood starved beast, stock up on antidotes and talk to alfred in the cathedral ward to get fire paper. (there’s more in depth walkthroughs that show you where to find him, but basically, he’s praying at an altar on the way from the cathedral ward to old yharnam, walk up to him and tell him you want to cooperate for the fire paper). during the actual BSB fight, dodge left and go behind him to wail on him.
5. the way i got better at bosses that were difficult for me was using the small resonant bell to go help other players. you don’t lose your echoes when you die in other players’ worlds (i don’t think?), you get the same amount of echoes that the beckoner gets from bosses and enemies, you get insight after beating the boss, and it’s easier with other people while it also helps you learn, so it’s definitely worth it imo. the main downside is that using the bell takes a big chunk out of your health, so you should probably have a good vitality level and the league rune before using it.
6. it’s annoying, but i always try to kill all the little spiders during the rom fight before focusing on her. ive died a lot because of their stupid jump attack that i didn’t notice because i had my back turned/was beating up rom, so to avoid that, just kill the spiders. also, when killing them, go behind them instead of attacking their head because the head attacks don’t do as much damage. baiting them into their jump attack, dodging, and then attacking them when they’re upside down is another easy way to kill them.
7. get the dlc, imo it’s the best part of the game.
Definitely take advantage of the up arrow bullet retrieval feature. If you parry alot have 30 to 35 bullets at least in your storage. Bullets are the only storage item accessible while you're deployed in Yarnham. Take advantage of that. They are also the easiest way to deal with multiple dogs.
Three hours ago I got platinum. Lmao
It's the first time I purposefuly try and get platinum on a game.
Also my first From Software game; I bought it three years ago, hated it, and played it recently because Hollow Knight showed be the beauty of hard games.
There’s actually a unique attack that occurs when transforming weapons normally. Ludwig’s Holy Blade for example, has a (relatively) fast one-handed swing when you’re going from the straight sword to Greatsword and when doing the opposite you get a heavier two-handed swing than you normally do when using the smaller form. Experiment with weapons to see what each of these... post-transformative? attacks can do.
Yes I know exactly what you're talking about. The Ludwig's Holy Blade is the best example. Both its forms do an attack like this, but the other one is actually slower so I don't recommend it. I open up with the attack you mentioned quite often and it made me appreciate the game and attention to detail even more when I discovered it.
Certain trick and post-trick attacks are meant to extend a combo (the quick ones) and others seem to be better for outspacing, like after dodging, they also normally have ahigh damage, rally boost, and tend to stagger more often
@@ember3530 It's great because you can use that post-transform r1 1 handed greatsword slash to chain into the two handed horizontal slashes without going into the slam attack. so you can get 3 horizontal slashes with greatsword mode which is much faster and higher damage output than two slashes and the slam.
Luke Kusanagi The LHB is the only heavy weapon I use in most of the souls games, the only exception to that being in Demon's Souls where I found Large Swords to be my preferred choice. I usually find them too slow and with annoying quirks, like unchainable heavies or something of the like. The LHB solves this problem by giving a quick attack after transformation and also with the heavy amount of stagger damage it can dish out to make it viable in a game as fast paced as Bloodborne. The fact that it does a lot of damage is what makes the weapon so good. It's fast enough to be usable, it does great damage, it has even scaling across Strength and Skill, and it staggers enemies and bosses really easily. There's no question in my mind that it is the best weapon for PvE, even if it isn't my preferred choice.
I know I'm late, but here's a tip against NPC Hunters: use Bestial Roar to cheese them: you can knock them to the ground, then use the time to charge an R2 so you can give them a Visceral Attack, then repeat for as long as you have quicksilver. By the time you run out, they'll have lost most of their health.
Another tip against NPC hunters: the wooden shield is actually usable against hunters who use light weapons like the cane or a sword; don't rely on it to stop a full combo, but use it to avoid being stunlocked by R1 spam
I believe a lot of people found out the Blood Bullet function by accident; primarily, after they threw their controller...
i found it at the very beginning of the game messing with the buttons. Didn't even know what i did and wondered why i was missing health xD
I just read it on one of the notes on the ground near the beginning
Same I was trying to find out how to heal
I believe there's a video somewhere which is called "OP in 30 minutes" or something along those lines. That's a great companion video to this one!
Can you add a link for that?
Links get auto-modded out of existence on UA-cam channels. I would post a link. But, it would end up in a bin and not be seen. The videos are all over UA-cam. Just do a search for 'Bloodborne OP in 10 minutes' or something similar.
Ah yes good ol’ ymfah. I honestly would say don’t follow any of his guides to be “OP in minutes” though because 1. They usually aren’t beginner friendly and 2. For a first play through I’d recommend just going through it as blind as you can for the full experience.
@@pierat3338 They aren't really made for new players in the first place I wouldn't say. They always seemed more for people trying to make new characters and such.
Nah takes all the fun out of it if you're giving newcomers all the cheese tactics
Never toss a weapon aside because you don't like it's moveset unless it's actively getting you railed. I used to hate the chikage because I found it's swings to be way too slow for being a "light" weapon. Now I'm going through a chikage focused build and loving every moment cause I took the time to explore the possibilities with it, be determined enough to enjoy the weapon you use and it'll destroy what you want it to.
One tip I always try to remember: "A smart Hunter takes stock of his surroundings, so as to not get backed into a corner or stuck on the environment in the heat of battle." If you're worried about an encounter you see ahead, take a little time to look around, plan where you want the enemy to fight you, and how much room you'll have to evade, because nothing sucks worse than getting backed into a corner or surrounded(or worse, both at the same time). Also, when fighting Mergo's Wet Nurse, when she pulls out her doppelganger, the best way to survive is unlock from her, and just start running in a massive circle around the room. As long as you keep moving(even when your stamina runs out) most of their attacks will miss you, and then once she's back to normal, you can re-lock and fight as normal.
Yeah if you enter an area and are ambushed or are destroyed by a trap you didn't see, explore the area before returning to that spot and more often than not Bloodborne will provide a more advantages avenue to get the drop on wouldbe ambushers or traps or bypass these hazards completely.
I just kill the clone
As someone who recently 100%'d Bloodborne,I had a fun time with it because of the challenge and the people I play with and personally, for me BloodBorne will go down in history

I would like to throw in that it's a good idea to take a break from fighting a boss if it's giving you a frustratingly hard time. There are a lot of hidden bosses that's re fairly easy to defeat. And don't be afraid to summon the old hunters for help if you see their summoning lamps they are there to help and it doesn't make you any less of a player to use them. I myself have to get help with Darkbeast Paarl every time because he is the bane of my very existence.
I’m fighting him next definitely using the old hunter
I always fight him at the end of the run so he can’t murder me s easy
I found him, refused to fight Vicar Amelia before beating the shit out of him and basically grinded my way from lv40 to lv90 in a training arc to kill them. Finally did it with 50str and a +6 kirskhammer
🤣
BEST BOSS EVER - totally hate and love him :D
When you feel like a boss is hard don’t smash your controller in rage rather, take a couple rounds against it to learn it’s Moveset, this is also true for all souls games
Just took down Lorian and Lothric, found the trick was to get close, dodge behind them and slash with the sellsword twinblades
@Brendan Rickey bloodborne? It has lots of safe shortcuts to bosses. Ds3 has some, but are more hidden.
@Brendan Rickey yeah, and there's usually a gate or a ladder or some form of shortcut near the boss too.
@Brendan Rickey no laughter here my friend we all have different paces, it's not a race. The main thing, that'll stand to you later, is that you don't give up.
Brendan Rickey you haven't quit DS3 either - you're on hiatus😉 I promise you, at some stage you will finish them. You'll end up finishing Bloodborne I believe, and gaining confidence from beating them to go back and beat those other games. Is the reason you want to kill Eileen for the blades of mercy? Because if its early in the game getting the 40k blood echoes to use it is an absolute grind anyway and will certainly impact your enjoyment of it. I would say make a choice, make it decisively, and stick to it. You can always make a different choice on your second playthrough so don't try think about it too much mate
I know I'm super duper late to this but here we go:
If you get to a bunch of tall dudes with canes and weird, ghoul-looking faces, shoot them the moment they pick their cane off the ground to wack you. They have a VERY long parry window for some reason and if you don't parry them they can be a pretty annoying enemy to deal with.
This is one of the most honest and actually helpful tip videos I've seen, thank you. I've played a lot of dark souls and am new to bloodborne, but I think one tip that stands for all soulsborne games is not to panic. When death is close panicking will just quicken your demise, but if you stay calm you still have a chance of succeeding.
Amen. I'm early to souls like games, but i find i play much better if the game is muted and I'm listening to a podcast. Keeping calm and patient is key. Almost beat one of the early bosses on the first go that way... but then i panicked because i didn't understand it's fight patterns yet. Lol
@@HORSESNDOGS9 playing muted is a smart idea actually, a lot of the music in the game while epic also can be overwhelming and intense
@@raidonshin no joke, i unmuted the game for the first time when facing the cleric beast the 2nd time... the audio was chilling and amazing to listen too! But it didn't help me beat him lol. Lord blessed the mute button
I like how I'm watching this despite having ended the nightmare multiple times across like 5 different builds
The biggest thing that has helped me in Bloodborne and really all souls games is to take your time to learn enemy movesets. Especially in Bloodborne where it's so fast pace, learning how long an attack wind-up is going to take and when to doge or parry is incredibly important. Also if you're having trouble with parries, just keep practicing and try baiting attacks to allow some distance when trying to parry. Often times the enemy will miss anyways and you still get the parry.
If you've got the ability to do it, pick a weapon with a thrust attack somewhere in its move-set. You'll find yourself coming out of the game with much more insight when you realize just how low a brain sucker's thrust defense is.
Kin in general are pretty weak to thrust. On my first playthrough the saw cleaver that carried me through otherwise the whole game failed against them. So I then proceeded to wreck byrgenwerth with the rifle spear, then Isz chalice with the churchpick.
Lil tip from lil me: if you attack an enemy as they are dying you can get rally health. Also most enemies with large screams (pigs, snachers) are standing still during those screams, and can usually be backstabbed or just hit with a big move.
Something i do on a regular basics is when lets say there are crows in front of me and they hit me. I attack back expecting to get a hit. You will NEVER get the hit first. The game reads your moves a little bit. If you get hit after pressing the attack, stop pressing it and back off because the game will NOT let you get out of that as a winner
Joke's on you, I'm maxing out all stats.
