Some quick lore on father gascoigne. If you would’ve knocked on his house his daughter would’ve answered asking you to help find her parents. She would also give you a jukebox thing that they used to calm the father down when he was bloodlusted to bring him back to reality. Father gascoigne (the father) and her mother were both missing on the night of the hunt. The mother went out to look for gascoigne. The reason the father turns into a beast is because like the rest of yharnam they are victims of the old blood. During the boss fight of gascoin you will find the mother dead on top of an overhang. I think it was bc gascon in his bloodlusted state killed her. Even more depressing is that if you go back to the giant pig you killed you will find the ribbon that belonged to the daughter. She went out looking for her parents only to meet her death by a giant pig.
I'm not fully sure but I have seen a video saying that he became blood-lusted and went into his killing frenzy cause his wife died and the corpse of the person or beast you see him repeatedly hitting at the start of his cut scene was the thing that killed his wife but that might not be true
1. There is no "two hand" button. Some weapons, like the hunter axe (the axe the boss was using), automatically goes into two handed mode when transformed (L1). Your saw cleaver doesn't have a two handed mode. 2. Your saw cleaver scales better with *strength*. If you want a skill build I recommend using the saw spear. It's one of the loot you cut down in the sewer. They are very similar but the saw spear does slightly less damage at the cost of a better transformed mode and scaling with *skill*. 3. Both rolling and side stepping have the same I-frames. Side stepping has slightly less recovery frames but staying unlocked lets you aim where you wanna attack (better against bosses with breakable limbs like the Cleric Beast). AFAIK they cover the same distance.
i’m gonna bloodrant for a minute, done multiple platinum accounts for this game. and fyi before i start you did awesome getting through central yharnam you went just about everywhere you needed to go, although you would’ve have 5 stones at the end of the vid if you dropped down to get the loot off the hanging bodies you dropped to the sewer after talking to elien the crow hunter. your I-frame dodge in this game IS the side step. it’s just the animation they did for this game to emphasize the fluidity of hunters and the combat of this game. don’t be scared to explore just like you would in elden ring. you’ll miss whole areas and bosses if you don’t, the soonest area is a branch out from cathedral ward to old yharnam. you should utilize “trick attacks” almost all the time with the saw cleaver and many other weapons. you do that by hitting the transform button L1 during a combo. does a lot more damage. and the “transform” is this games 2 handed version essentially each weapon is 2 weapons in 1. parrying is all you use the gun for besides a bloodtinge build with select firearms so just use it for that. you can get extra bullets using the blood bullets in a 5:1 ration of bullets to blood vials needed to heal back up. last thing, we would all also love to see you go through the dlc as it has some of if not the best bosses in the game 4 main bosses 1 optional one. maybe even some chalice dungeon action if you’re up to it once you wrap everything else up. hope some of this helped out, god bless!!

Been loving the series so far here’s a couple of tips to make life in Yharnam easier. For the saw cleaver transforming mid attack gives great damage and is one of the faster weapons in the game. R1 L1 L1 R1 will get you through basically anything! Also parries aka Visceral attacks scale with your Skill stat, so there’s not really ever a need to upgrade your gun.
bro I have been waiting to see if he would figure out the beautiful intricacies of BB with the weapon tricks and how you can target individual limbs of certain bosses and do bonus damage that way
Oh wow! Jev is continuing the series and I'm all here for it! I haven't played the game in so long but a bunch of comments on the last vid reminded me of some tips I could give you You don't have to worry about upgrading your gun or bloodtinge as a attribute unless you want to do a bloodtinge build Guns themselves are like slightly more useful parry sheilds in a souls game, find a gun with stats you like or a design you like and lvl it all the way with any spare blood echoes you aren't using anything for Also the trick weapons of the game have a special attack you can do that does more dmg then normal because it's an attack that leads into switching your weapon into it's alternate attack mode Finally just explore a bunch! It's like ds1 where the whole map is interconnected and there's a lack of boss souls for the game I believe (I don't remember but I'm sure someone else could clarify) so you'll find wrapons as items just scattered across the world and if your going with strength there's some weapons I think you may really like
The transformed version of the saw cleaver just increases range and scales more with strength, however it removes the serrated side thats in the base form of it. Its why most ppl opt for the saw spear that scales off skill alot and has two serrated sides. Its where u dropped those chains down into the sewer with the rats at 5:10. Gascoigne (pronounced gas-coin) is pretty much the beginner learner boss that lets you learn the basic movements in side stepping and the mechanics in parrying. Youll want to upgrade ur gun if you are doing a bloodtinge build, it just increases the damage of the bullets doesnt really do much for the parry thats mainly skill. Also good combos for the saw weapons is R1 R1 L1 L1 or any variation of that (we need 26 videos)
Really enjoying this series. As someone who has recently gotten into the Soulsborne games but has yet to play Bloodborne, I appreciate how your editing showcases the game while also doing a great job avoiding showing exactly where items are located so people like me can still play through with a fresh experience!
Jev is great at that, you can watch him play a whole series and then when you play it yourself you’ll be shocked how much still surprises you. I prefer his style over just watching someone play from beginning to end and showing everything
Id say play bloodborne or Lies of P if your starting out playing souls games they are great games kinda on the easier side but its better to start off with one of those then make your way up to dark souls and elden ring
The storys are one offs ao you dont have to play previous games to get the story and if your not good at parrying attacks bloodborne and Lies of P are amazing to start practicing on
So Jev, no spoilers. You’ll need three items for unlocking the true ending. Here’s some vague information if you eventually decide you want to do that. First one is granted by simple game progression, second is hidden in the old hunters workshop in central Yahrnam, last one is gained by doing the blood maidens questline Also you do not two hand in this game, there is no weight you can use whatever you want without fat rolling, the weapon transformation can be used mid attack to chain combos and deal bonus damage, for dodging you’ll want to mostly dodge in and to the left for basically every enemy, and there is only a few enemy’s where locking off and using the full roll is optimal so get used to quickstepping.
Another small tip but really helpful - use your vials after a battle before picking up items from enemies, as most likely the item pickups from enemies would be the vials. This is so that your inventory remains topped up instead of the storage. Most useful in the case of having full vials at the end of a battle. I used to do that regardless though.
Good job with gascoigne! A little tip, whichever arm your enemy is swinging, try to dodge towards it. For example, if they’re swinging an axe with their right hand, dodging towards the swing will put you right behind them, a perfect position to counter or hold r2 for a heavy. Also, you can use L1 mid combo for a switch attack. That does some SERIOUS damage and with the saw cleaver, it’s incredibly fast and effective. I recommended trying out a couple different weapons tho, just to add some variety. The weapons in this game feel AMAZING
Hey Jev. the way weapons work is that they have two modes, not a dedicated two hand. They essentially transform as if they are two different weapons. If you attack then press the transform button you can do a transform attack, varying your strikes and even doing more damage some times. Hope this helps!
One suggestion that can really be helpful is that upgrading the Skill stat really ups the visceral attack damage (attack you do after parrying an enemy). Strength also upgrades it but Skill does it dramatically. Can do like 2500-3000 damage late game
There is an NPC that you missed, its not that important but its still kinda cool and says a lot about the world in which bloodborne takes place. There is a ladder in the sewers that leads to a young girl that would've asked you to find her mother. Her mother went out looking for the young girl's father who is also a hunter but never came back from the hunt. The husband is Father Gascoigne himself, he is the father of the young girl and you find the body of her mother in the arena. He succombed to the plague in which the enemies that you fight are affected by and became one, leading him to kill his own wife due to bloodlust. The guy in a wheelchair that you see in the very first cutscene is called the blood minister and we have no idea who he is due to very little info about him. The lore in this game is some of the most interesting but also complex in the soulsborne series. If you wish to understand it better I recommend that you take the time to explore the areas and meet the different NPCs. Hope this becomes a full series:)
Spoilers but I think you'll want to know this so that you don't need to do a second playthrough for all the bosses in base game. There are three bosses in Bloodborne which are not tied to what ending you go for that can easily be missed. Those are Maryr Logarious, Celestial emmisarry (super easy), and Ebreitas. You need to unlock two secret areas. Castle Cainhurst for Logarious and Upper Cathedral Ward for the other two I mentioned earlier. There is also a key item called Third Umbilical cord; you get one after killing the second boss in the game and taking the lift up. The other you get by returning to the starting area and killing an NPC. Once you consume those in Hinters dream before the final boss you are now able to fight a second final boss and get the "true"/secret ending.
Hey Jev, in the Gascoigne boss arena there is a red jewel on the roof you can get, you can crush it to get a gem to put on your weapon that increases its damage.
press LB to use a weapons alternative mode. some weapons will change their range and movset, and others will do that and you'll have to two hand it. the weapons in bloodborne are far more interesting and complex imo than elden ring. basically all of them are viable, and have unique movesets. this game kinda avoids inventory cluttering by only having a few weapons, and i enjoy that
As others have commented, you do want to dodge into your enemies, 95% of the time in the direction the attack is coming from. If you're going to parry, shoot right when they finish raising their weapon, and dodge towards them after. The reason why is that if you do get the parry, you'll be close enough to do the visceral attack. If you miss, you can dodge again to the side and likely not take damage, or just one hit's worth. You cannot parry large bosses, but anything medium or small usually can. Some leveling advice: The first soft cap for your stats is 25 levels. I would recommend, if you're staying with the cleaver, to level strength and vitality equally, with skill being 5 levels behind, and getting your endurance to 15. Unlike other Souls games, when working on your levels, I would prioritize your damage stat instead of vitality. The reason is due to the rally mechanic (you take damage, hit them back to recover sometimes all of it). For example, with your current stats, I would put strength to 20, then vitality to 20, then get skill and endurance to 15. After that, repeat the cycle until your skill is at 25. I would probably leave endurance at 20 (once you get there) for the first playthrough, as you likely won't need more than that. Also, your visceral damage scales exclusively off skill, the skill scaling of your weapon in hand, and the thrust damage of the weapon. This is why you should level skill up, at least to that soft cap on strength builds. It makes the reward for parrying very satisfying. It's what makes up for skill-based weapons having lower regular damage in the later portion of the game. Their visceral attacks are usually 2 to 3 times more damaging than a strength build. Also, you cannot two hand weapons in Bloodborne. Some of the weapons are two handed when you trick (modify/extend) them, meaning you can't use your gun, which is usually bad against hunters and small bosses, and really good against the big ones. A little tip about tricking the weapon: if you're fighting an enemy and you trick your weapon, you attack while it changes. These attacks have higher damage multipliers compared to most options, so you can chain combos together. I would recommend playing around with it in the dream and seeing what you like. Sorry about the paragraph, I've played this game a bit too much. EDIT: I forgot two things. One, you can upgrade your pistol if you really want to, but I would only recommend doing it if you have spare materials and don't plan to change to another weapon later on. The only thing upgrading your pistol does is increase the damage it deals; it has no effect on your ability to parry. The second thing is that I would recommend you explore, even if it doesn't seem too fun. You can get a lot of useful materials, find hidden NPC quests and lore, and most importantly: fashion and weapons. Armor is pretty much useless in this game, so you can get real creative with what you want to wear without losing performance, and some weapons cannot be outright bought using badges, you have to find them in the world. Now I'm done.
Upgrade your skill attribute if you want to do more damage on your visceral attacks. It’s pretty sweet to parry a boss and they lose anywhere from a 1/4 to half of their HP (I would level mine up until the soft cap which should be about 40 I believe). Also if you use your trick weapons ability and switch between the shortened and lengthened form, it can build your beasthood meter (only if you’ve popped a beast pellet). Idk if you’ve found any of the pellets or not, but using the pellets and the trick ability go together like butter and toast for amazing damage output in this game.
Hey Jev there is no dedicated "two handing" button, but there is an alternate mode for every weapon, some weapons alternative mode does involve two handing. Also whenever you get a new badge the little guys on the hunters dream sell new things. Love the video, keep it up
just a small tip, but it’s often better to dodge INTO attacks instead of away, especially for bosses/enemies who have huge reach. when you dodge away from attacks, you’re more likely to be hit by the later part of their attack animation. loving the series!
•Save up Insight, I believe more than 10 Insight will let you see enemies that you can’t see with low insight, like the Amygdala and some other invisible enemies. •Farm Blood viles and bullets, you can get blood viles almost all the time by killing trolls. for bullets, kill any riflemen. •You can get even stronger using the memory altar (inside the workshop, - table with a bunch of candles) you can equip up to 3 caryll runes. •You can do some other combos with your L1, press R1 (or R2) about 2 - 3 times and press L1 to do a transforming attack. Super helpful if surrounded by enemies or for show •To jump, hold circle to run and press circle to jump, it is annoying if you want to dodge/dash but it’s the default setting (can’t change it) •Exploring is something you want to do instead of going to the bosses immediatly (unless you’re speedrunning) you will find materials that will help you like Beast pallets •I would upgrade endurance, skill and strength more than vitality/health. •Press R2/L2 to switch faster when you want to switch attire and weapons •You can’t 2 hand weapons, only trick weapons (which it will do automatically when you press L1) the hunter’s axe is a trick weapon, while the saw cleaver is a normal weapon. 2 handed weapons are good but will use so much endurance and strength. The saw cleaver is already a cheese weapon, super effective
Upgrading the Pistol (and any weapon) unlocks slots for Blood Gems. Some have passive abilities like healing, so its best to put those gems on a weapon you have out most often, like a pistol That way you save the slots on your weapon for + damage Gems
Not every weapon has 2 handing, the transform mode (the left bumper) is technically the 2 handed mode, some weapons will actually 2 hand, and some will still let you use the gun and parry. Ths Bold Hunters Mark is basically just a homeward bone, it returns you to your last lamp. The items you cut down but didn't drop down to get in that one building was an upgrade material and a new weapon.
there genuinely isn’t a youtuber that i’m happier to watch play bloodborne than jev. jev could run around in circles and it would still be entertaining
A good idea for the weapon you're using is the transform attacks, when doing the basic attacks click the button that usually brings out your transformed form to do a transformed attack those do more dmg, can stun bosses if you hit their limbs and are a good closing attack for normal enemies, it would be something like r1 r1 and then l1 to do it. Also there's no 2 handing in this game tho some weapons transformed form 2hands their weapon Also leveling skill for your weapon is very good if you want to do a parry based build as skill increases riposte damage (and the saw cleaver scales well in both skill and str but skill is better)
Dodging forward and to the right is THE STRAT for Bloodborne. That is all you need to evade most bosses. It’s almost overpowered it’s so effective. Happy to see you play this :) I played it for the first time last summer when I broke my ankle and just got to chill in bed for 6 weeks.
Hey Jev! Some tips I learned while playing is that some of the trick weapons scale differently depending on the form, not just the saw you are using but just about every weapon, the damage type and scaling type can change!
Jev, the dude who gave you a transfusion at the beginning was indeed the werewolf that also tried to kill you. The point of that character is just that he's just a twisted doctor, drugging patients before ultimately killing them. The whole idea around blood in the game is that certain blood carries certain powers/properties. And Yharnam was at one point known to have powerful healing blood, even establishing a church around the practice. However as you see it now, it is overrun with beasts and horrifying monsters partly due to the blood actually turning man into said beasts. The other part has to do with The School of Insight, which you'll learn about eventually. But yeah as of now; blood turns you into a beast
@@iwatchpaintdryy7802 Assumptions maybe, but made with using information on the character. Very little mind you, since he's nowhere else in game. The only real thing we have is his hat, being in the design of the old hunters
Some people read about the games but Jev plays them fresh. I appreciate that. Reminds me of the old Let’s Play that dominated back in the good ol days.
If you’re going for a strength build, the kirk hammer and the hunters axe are truly excellent strength weapons for early game. What you really want is Ludwig’s Holy blade (and eventually the holy moonlight sword in the dlc imo). When you get a hunter badge it expands the shop in the dream, eventually you’ll be able to buy both of those weapons pretty early on with badges you get from bosses. Also take advantage of the weapon transformations, they allow extended combos and mixups during combat. It throws a special attack if you transform mid attack. Love you JEV keep up the amazing content 💪.
Hi Jev, the best strength weapon is the Kirk hammer imo it’s very strong and has nice R1 to L1 combos. Also this game implemented the trick system which gives every weapon 2 move sets that you can chain into
One general tip I can give for the bosses in this game is you never want to be dodging backward because you'll just get caught most of the time. For example in the second phase of this boss it's a lot more effective to dodge into them and cross them up. It's another way they encouraged aggressive gameplay.
Hey Jev. Glad you’re enjoying Bloodborne! You get the same amount of i frames dodging locked on and unlocked on. Also Gascoine wasn’t the man you meet in the intro. It’s just a common Yharnam practice to harvest eyeballs for rituals, which is why you see a lot of npcs with blindfolds on.
There isn’t a specific “2 hand” button in bb, some weapons have 2 handed modes and some don’t, the saw cleaver has no 2 handed mode. Btw if you switch weapon modes mid-combo you get different attacks
Jev, if you press L1 after starting a chain with r1, you do more dmg. You can pop a beast blood pellet and use this combo to build up your beast for bosses and you start hitting really hard, but you have to be aggressive, it decays quickly
Keep using the dash. I know it's difficult to get used to but it's very useful once you get it down. It actually (as far as I know) has more I-Frames and has more distance than the roll.
So hyped to see another video keep the series going!! As for dodging, you got the right idea where dodging toward them (and usually on a diagonal) is your best bet! Glad you found the armour I pointed out too!
To @ando2421 's point, if you uses beast blood pellets (for more damage) and start with R1 then chain L1, L1, L1, your beast blood meter will build up significantly faster.
I love this game and this new series so heres a few tips: You dont need to upgrade your pistol since it wont affect parrying You should utilize your "trick attacks" by transforming your weapon in between attacks to get cool combos You explored pretty much all of central yharnam and only missed one weapon, which is basically the same thing as what your using, and some small things I think most people would really love to see you do the DLC because it has some of the best bosses. You unlock it after you fight the fourth boss (Im pretty sure) Also you cant 2 hand weapons besides from some weapons that do it automatically Some boss fights that are usually big monsters have breakable limbs which when you break a limb it deals damage and leads ti a stagger
I’m sure you’ll love the lore in this game as it compliments the visuals completely. It’s kinda hard to figure out the story by yourself but it’ll blow your mind if you watch some other vids out there on it
This game doesn’t have a “2 hand” method for weapons. They are called “transformed” because the weapon is meant to catch opponents off guard with their function. Mixing in L1’s lets you pull off transform attacks and they are super powerful in combos. The sidesteps also have more significance as the beasts in Bloodborne are said to be too fast for people in armor so hunters have to be fast and use trick weapons to beat them.
I've never played a Dark Souls game but I thoroughly enjoy your Elden Ring videos and the two Bloodborne vids you've dropped. Really hoping you continue this 💯
idk if anyone has said this to Jev but transformation attacks word wonders ESPECIALLY on the saw cleaver. to do it all you have to do is attack with r1 then press l1, you can do it until you run out of stamina
parrying isn’t effected by upgrading your pistol, you only want to upgrade certain guns if you’re doing a Bloodtinge build
Or some build using the gatling gun or cannon cause those guns are pretty dang good from what I've seen
yeah or if your using the chikage

I haven't played the game in so long but a bunch of comments on the last vid reminded me of some tips I could give you
You don't have to worry about upgrading your gun or bloodtinge as a attribute unless you want to do a bloodtinge build
Guns themselves are like slightly more useful parry sheilds in a souls game, find a gun with stats you like or a design you like and lvl it all the way with any spare blood echoes you aren't using anything for
Also the trick weapons of the game have a special attack you can do that does more dmg then normal because it's an attack that leads into switching your weapon into it's alternate attack mode
Finally just explore a bunch! It's like ds1 where the whole map is interconnected and there's a lack of boss souls for the game I believe (I don't remember but I'm sure someone else could clarify) so you'll find wrapons as items just scattered across the world and if your going with strength there's some weapons I think you may really like
The transformed version of the saw cleaver just increases range and scales more with strength, however it removes the serrated side thats in the base form of it. Its why most ppl opt for the saw spear that scales off skill alot and has two serrated sides. Its where u dropped those chains down into the sewer with the rats at 5:10. Gascoigne (pronounced gas-coin) is pretty much the beginner learner boss that lets you learn the basic movements in side stepping and the mechanics in parrying.

Also good combos for the saw weapons is R1 R1 L1 L1 or any variation of that

yeah this needs to be highlighted. truck combos are so good

So Jev, no spoilers. You’ll need three items for unlocking the true ending. Here’s some vague information if you eventually decide you want to do that.
First one is granted by simple game progression, second is hidden in the old hunters workshop in central Yahrnam, last one is gained by doing the blood maidens questline
Also you do not two hand in this game, there is no weight you can use whatever you want without fat rolling, the weapon transformation can be used mid attack to chain combos and deal bonus damage, for dodging you’ll want to mostly dodge in and to the left for basically every enemy, and there is only a few enemy’s where locking off and using the full roll is optimal so get used to quickstepping.
Arianna's questline is optional as you can get another umbilical cord if you don't kill a certain character before rom
you seemed to have gotten it at the end but yes dodging INTO the enemy is KEY
Another small tip but really helpful - use your vials after a battle before picking up items from enemies, as most likely the item pickups from enemies would be the vials. This is so that your inventory remains topped up instead of the storage.
Most useful in the case of having full vials at the end of a battle. I used to do that regardless though.
YES MORE BLOODBORNE LET'S GO
Good job with gascoigne! A little tip, whichever arm your enemy is swinging, try to dodge towards it. For example, if they’re swinging an axe with their right hand, dodging towards the swing will put you right behind them, a perfect position to counter or hold r2 for a heavy. Also, you can use L1 mid combo for a switch attack. That does some SERIOUS damage and with the saw cleaver, it’s incredibly fast and effective. I recommended trying out a couple different weapons tho, just to add some variety. The weapons in this game feel AMAZING
Keep em coming jev😂
Hey Jev. the way weapons work is that they have two modes, not a dedicated two hand. They essentially transform as if they are two different weapons. If you attack then press the transform button you can do a transform attack, varying your strikes and even doing more damage some times. Hope this helps!
“We’re not gonna talk about it”hahaha
Jev in this game doing the step back dodge gives you a .5 second of invincibility so that’s what you need to to do. Stop rolling in bloodborne
We need to up that comment

One suggestion that can really be helpful is that upgrading the Skill stat really ups the visceral attack damage (attack you do after parrying an enemy).
Strength also upgrades it but Skill does it dramatically. Can do like 2500-3000 damage late game
Jev playing bloodborne is the best content for me at the moment. Love this game, love this man, love it all.
Top Tip Hold R2 backstabs in Bloodborne are incredibly good. Additionally using R1 and L1 together is great too. There's also no two handing weapons.
This is gonna be a classic series if you see it through Jev!
There is an NPC that you missed, its not that important but its still kinda cool and says a lot about the world in which bloodborne takes place. There is a ladder in the sewers that leads to a young girl that would've asked you to find her mother. Her mother went out looking for the young girl's father who is also a hunter but never came back from the hunt. The husband is Father Gascoigne himself, he is the father of the young girl and you find the body of her mother in the arena. He succombed to the plague in which the enemies that you fight are affected by and became one, leading him to kill his own wife due to bloodlust. The guy in a wheelchair that you see in the very first cutscene is called the blood minister and we have no idea who he is due to very little info about him. The lore in this game is some of the most interesting but also complex in the soulsborne series. If you wish to understand it better I recommend that you take the time to explore the areas and meet the different NPCs. Hope this becomes a full series:)
Please continue with a series. You know your fans wont stop until we get a playthru of all Souls games
Spoilers but I think you'll want to know this so that you don't need to do a second playthrough for all the bosses in base game.
There are three bosses in Bloodborne which are not tied to what ending you go for that can easily be missed. Those are Maryr Logarious, Celestial emmisarry (super easy), and Ebreitas. You need to unlock two secret areas. Castle Cainhurst for Logarious and Upper Cathedral Ward for the other two I mentioned earlier.
There is also a key item called Third Umbilical cord; you get one after killing the second boss in the game and taking the lift up. The other you get by returning to the starting area and killing an NPC. Once you consume those in Hinters dream before the final boss you are now able to fight a second final boss and get the "true"/secret ending.
I think Paarl is also an optional boss as well (as far as endings go)
Forgot about that @@7quantumphysics
Hey Jev, in the Gascoigne boss arena there is a red jewel on the roof you can get, you can crush it to get a gem to put on your weapon that increases its damage.
Thank you Jev for another Bloodborne vid. Keep them coming. You’re the greatest youtuber of all time
Heck yeah, another Bloodborne video. Let's go!
press LB to use a weapons alternative mode.
some weapons will change their range and movset, and others will do that and you'll have to two hand it.
the weapons in bloodborne are far more interesting and complex imo than elden ring.
basically all of them are viable, and have unique movesets.
this game kinda avoids inventory cluttering by only having a few weapons, and i enjoy that
THIS IS THE SERIES WE ALL NEEDED
As others have commented, you do want to dodge into your enemies, 95% of the time in the direction the attack is coming from. If you're going to parry, shoot right when they finish raising their weapon, and dodge towards them after. The reason why is that if you do get the parry, you'll be close enough to do the visceral attack. If you miss, you can dodge again to the side and likely not take damage, or just one hit's worth. You cannot parry large bosses, but anything medium or small usually can.
Some leveling advice: The first soft cap for your stats is 25 levels. I would recommend, if you're staying with the cleaver, to level strength and vitality equally, with skill being 5 levels behind, and getting your endurance to 15. Unlike other Souls games, when working on your levels, I would prioritize your damage stat instead of vitality. The reason is due to the rally mechanic (you take damage, hit them back to recover sometimes all of it). For example, with your current stats, I would put strength to 20, then vitality to 20, then get skill and endurance to 15. After that, repeat the cycle until your skill is at 25. I would probably leave endurance at 20 (once you get there) for the first playthrough, as you likely won't need more than that.
Also, your visceral damage scales exclusively off skill, the skill scaling of your weapon in hand, and the thrust damage of the weapon. This is why you should level skill up, at least to that soft cap on strength builds. It makes the reward for parrying very satisfying. It's what makes up for skill-based weapons having lower regular damage in the later portion of the game. Their visceral attacks are usually 2 to 3 times more damaging than a strength build.
Also, you cannot two hand weapons in Bloodborne. Some of the weapons are two handed when you trick (modify/extend) them, meaning you can't use your gun, which is usually bad against hunters and small bosses, and really good against the big ones. A little tip about tricking the weapon: if you're fighting an enemy and you trick your weapon, you attack while it changes. These attacks have higher damage multipliers compared to most options, so you can chain combos together. I would recommend playing around with it in the dream and seeing what you like.
Sorry about the paragraph, I've played this game a bit too much.
EDIT: I forgot two things. One, you can upgrade your pistol if you really want to, but I would only recommend doing it if you have spare materials and don't plan to change to another weapon later on. The only thing upgrading your pistol does is increase the damage it deals; it has no effect on your ability to parry. The second thing is that I would recommend you explore, even if it doesn't seem too fun. You can get a lot of useful materials, find hidden NPC quests and lore, and most importantly: fashion and weapons. Armor is pretty much useless in this game, so you can get real creative with what you want to wear without losing performance, and some weapons cannot be outright bought using badges, you have to find them in the world.
Now I'm done.
why you yapping
You can combo the weapon "2 handed mode" with the R1 light attacks as well. Just a little tip. example would be R1, R1, R1, L1
Upgrade your skill attribute if you want to do more damage on your visceral attacks. It’s pretty sweet to parry a boss and they lose anywhere from a 1/4 to half of their HP (I would level mine up until the soft cap which should be about 40 I believe). Also if you use your trick weapons ability and switch between the shortened and lengthened form, it can build your beasthood meter (only if you’ve popped a beast pellet). Idk if you’ve found any of the pellets or not, but using the pellets and the trick ability go together like butter and toast for amazing damage output in this game.
Hey Jev there is no dedicated "two handing" button, but there is an alternate mode for every weapon, some weapons alternative mode does involve two handing.
Also whenever you get a new badge the little guys on the hunters dream sell new things.
Love the video, keep it up
just a small tip, but it’s often better to dodge INTO attacks instead of away, especially for bosses/enemies who have huge reach. when you dodge away from attacks, you’re more likely to be hit by the later part of their attack animation. loving the series!
•Save up Insight, I believe more than 10 Insight will let you see enemies that you can’t see with low insight, like the Amygdala and some other invisible enemies.
•Farm Blood viles and bullets, you can get blood viles almost all the time by killing trolls. for bullets, kill any riflemen.
•You can get even stronger using the memory altar (inside the workshop, - table with a bunch of candles) you can equip up to 3 caryll runes.
•You can do some other combos with your L1, press R1 (or R2) about 2 - 3 times and press L1 to do a transforming attack. Super helpful if surrounded by enemies or for show
•To jump, hold circle to run and press circle to jump, it is annoying if you want to dodge/dash but it’s the default setting (can’t change it)
•Exploring is something you want to do instead of going to the bosses immediatly (unless you’re speedrunning) you will find materials that will help you like Beast pallets
•I would upgrade endurance, skill and strength more than vitality/health.
•Press R2/L2 to switch faster when you want to switch attire and weapons
•You can’t 2 hand weapons, only trick weapons (which it will do automatically when you press L1) the hunter’s axe is a trick weapon, while the saw cleaver is a normal weapon. 2 handed weapons are good but will use so much endurance and strength. The saw cleaver is already a cheese weapon, super effective
The biggest backseater I've seen
Delete this comment bruh let him discover the game I hate people that spoil everything holy shit
all weapons are trick weapons besides i guess the Tonitrus. it's just some modes for weapons require two hands like the Axe and Kirkhammer.
Bug off bruh
U don 't even know what you're saying, it's 40 insight. Backseating head ahhh
Upgrading the Pistol (and any weapon) unlocks slots for Blood Gems. Some have passive abilities like healing, so its best to put those gems on a weapon you have out most often, like a pistol
That way you save the slots on your weapon for + damage Gems
5:50 💀🤣 bro got violated
Only episode 2 and jev already fisting pigs. The madman’s knowledge is in him
Not every weapon has 2 handing, the transform mode (the left bumper) is technically the 2 handed mode, some weapons will actually 2 hand, and some will still let you use the gun and parry. Ths Bold Hunters Mark is basically just a homeward bone, it returns you to your last lamp. The items you cut down but didn't drop down to get in that one building was an upgrade material and a new weapon.
I can’t believe we actually are getting a series IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Watching these Bloodborne videos is what got me into this game and platinum it in like 3 weeks. FaZe Jev I thank you for your inspiration! ❤
Love this game, please keep playing Jev
there genuinely isn’t a youtuber that i’m happier to watch play bloodborne than jev. jev could run around in circles and it would still be entertaining
A good idea for the weapon you're using is the transform attacks, when doing the basic attacks click the button that usually brings out your transformed form to do a transformed attack those do more dmg, can stun bosses if you hit their limbs and are a good closing attack for normal enemies, it would be something like r1 r1 and then l1 to do it. Also there's no 2 handing in this game tho some weapons transformed form 2hands their weapon
Also leveling skill for your weapon is very good if you want to do a parry based build as skill increases riposte damage (and the saw cleaver scales well in both skill and str but skill is better)
Dodging forward and to the right is THE STRAT for Bloodborne. That is all you need to evade most bosses. It’s almost overpowered it’s so effective. Happy to see you play this :) I played it for the first time last summer when I broke my ankle and just got to chill in bed for 6 weeks.
YES JEV KEEP GOING
Ayooo
Hey Jev! Some tips I learned while playing is that some of the trick weapons scale differently depending on the form, not just the saw you are using but just about every weapon, the damage type and scaling type can change!
Jev, the dude who gave you a transfusion at the beginning was indeed the werewolf that also tried to kill you. The point of that character is just that he's just a twisted doctor, drugging patients before ultimately killing them. The whole idea around blood in the game is that certain blood carries certain powers/properties. And Yharnam was at one point known to have powerful healing blood, even establishing a church around the practice. However as you see it now, it is overrun with beasts and horrifying monsters partly due to the blood actually turning man into said beasts. The other part has to do with The School of Insight, which you'll learn about eventually. But yeah as of now; blood turns you into a beast
There not the same people
Yeah this is not true at all
@@iwatchpaintdryy7802 Assumptions maybe, but made with using information on the character. Very little mind you, since he's nowhere else in game. The only real thing we have is his hat, being in the design of the old hunters
@@benholland1965 Assumption is what Fromsoft is about. And he's no where else in game, so have some fun why doncha
"Yeah let me just give this person powers before i drug and kill him" makes sense dude
Some people read about the games but Jev plays them fresh. I appreciate that. Reminds me of the old Let’s Play that dominated back in the good ol days.
I cannot WAIT for Jev to fight Orphan. We gotta bother him to get the DLC
Best boss in the game
This game is loved by anyone and everyone. The best thing i love seeing is someone playing this for the first time and they always end up loving it
This series has got me pumped like Jev’s Palworld series haha
If you’re going for a strength build, the kirk hammer and the hunters axe are truly excellent strength weapons for early game. What you really want is Ludwig’s Holy blade (and eventually the holy moonlight sword in the dlc imo). When you get a hunter badge it expands the shop in the dream, eventually you’ll be able to buy both of those weapons pretty early on with badges you get from bosses.
Also take advantage of the weapon transformations, they allow extended combos and mixups during combat. It throws a special attack if you transform mid attack.
Love you JEV keep up the amazing content 💪.
For the bigger bosses it's better if you dodge into them, and sometimes not locking onto a bigger boss makes it easier to dodge attacks
Love all the people nerding out in the comments to help jev the bloodborne community is great
Ooooo he said part two, does this mean we're getting a full series? Let's go!
Hi Jev, the best strength weapon is the Kirk hammer imo it’s very strong and has nice R1 to L1 combos. Also this game implemented the trick system which gives every weapon 2 move sets that you can chain into
I just watched the first one, 5 mins later and part 2 is here. I love jev
One general tip I can give for the bosses in this game is you never want to be dodging backward because you'll just get caught most of the time. For example in the second phase of this boss it's a lot more effective to dodge into them and cross them up. It's another way they encouraged aggressive gameplay.
Watching this stoned was the best 12 minutes of my life
Hey Jev. Glad you’re enjoying Bloodborne! You get the same amount of i frames dodging locked on and unlocked on. Also Gascoine wasn’t the man you meet in the intro. It’s just a common Yharnam practice to harvest eyeballs for rituals, which is why you see a lot of npcs with blindfolds on.
There isn’t a specific “2 hand” button in bb, some weapons have 2 handed modes and some don’t, the saw cleaver has no 2 handed mode. Btw if you switch weapon modes mid-combo you get different attacks
Thank you Jev, you are the guy everyone watching when they eat and you are just being yourself. I got into soulsborne games because of you!
KEEP EM COMING JEV!!!
Please keep up this series, Bloodborne is truly one of the best games of all time and you especially is very entertaining to watch (:
Play Lies of P if you have room, Jev!
I have a feeling he will before Elden Ring DLC
Second this
Ain’t gon lie that game was not great. Especially if you came from these games
Awesome to see. Make this a full series 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jev, if you press L1 after starting a chain with r1, you do more dmg. You can pop a beast blood pellet and use this combo to build up your beast for bosses and you start hitting really hard, but you have to be aggressive, it decays quickly
It also lowers defense doesn’t it
yes he needs to combo with the weapon, I played very little of this game, but doing the combos helped out atleast for me
Jet is the only gaming UA-cam I still watch. He never changed his personality and such a down to earth guy. Big fan here
I was needing this, thank you Jev!!
Keep using the dash. I know it's difficult to get used to but it's very useful once you get it down. It actually (as far as I know) has more I-Frames and has more distance than the roll.
love it havent watched yet ovbs but im glad your doing more bloodborn
I’m so happy that jev plays games other than cod now these lets plays let his personality shine through more
Hell yeah more bloodborne 🔥🔥
Watching of my my favourite games on my birthday featuring my favourite UA-camr. Best birthday ever
Jev please do unedited hour long videos, I’ll watch all of them
I would absolutely be down for that as well. I would love to see Jev's full on progress and learning curve with this game.
I am down for 17 videos so glad your going to keep playing this was my first from soft game and i loved it
MORE WE NEED MORE
I swear one of best feelings about this game is when you finally get the i frames down. It makes the game feel so amazing and rewarding.
Been waiting for this
So hyped to see another video keep the series going!!
As for dodging, you got the right idea where dodging toward them (and usually on a diagonal) is your best bet!
Glad you found the armour I pointed out too!
Jev making this a series will make me edge 24/7
To @ando2421 's point, if you uses beast blood pellets (for more damage) and start with R1 then chain L1, L1, L1, your beast blood meter will build up significantly faster.
Yeesssssss more BLOODBORNE
I love this game and this new series so heres a few tips:
You dont need to upgrade your pistol since it wont affect parrying
You should utilize your "trick attacks" by transforming your weapon in between attacks to get cool combos
You explored pretty much all of central yharnam and only missed one weapon, which is basically the same thing as what your using, and some small things
I think most people would really love to see you do the DLC because it has some of the best bosses. You unlock it after you fight the fourth boss (Im pretty sure)
Also you cant 2 hand weapons besides from some weapons that do it automatically
Some boss fights that are usually big monsters have breakable limbs which when you break a limb it deals damage and leads ti a stagger
if this isn’t a series i’m blocking you
Okay vairins
I’m sure you’ll love the lore in this game as it compliments the visuals completely. It’s kinda hard to figure out the story by yourself but it’ll blow your mind if you watch some other vids out there on it
I am LIKING Jevs every single video with BLOODBORNE in it
jev is a guy who appreciates some good visuals, really hoping he gets true ending done for the cutscene
This game doesn’t have a “2 hand” method for weapons. They are called “transformed” because the weapon is meant to catch opponents off guard with their function. Mixing in L1’s lets you pull off transform attacks and they are super powerful in combos. The sidesteps also have more significance as the beasts in Bloodborne are said to be too fast for people in armor so hunters have to be fast and use trick weapons to beat them.
I've never played a Dark Souls game but I thoroughly enjoy your Elden Ring videos and the two Bloodborne vids you've dropped. Really hoping you continue this 💯
idk if anyone has said this to Jev but transformation attacks word wonders ESPECIALLY on the saw cleaver. to do it all you have to do is attack with r1 then press l1, you can do it until you run out of stamina
This is infinitely more entertaining than call of duty
We needed this series! My favorite game of all time!
Good work sir! Never seen the father so passive before, every time i ever fought him he had no chill.
I don't think I ever liked a video faster than this one. Commenting also for the algorithm! The people need a full Jev Bloodborne playthrough with dlc
this is so fun loving jevs bloodborne arc
