no i havent, swear i've searched the whole map though up to that point
You see those windows with red lanterns scattered throughout the area? They're NPC's that you can interact with.

I found 5, guess there must be a sixth. Darn lost 10,000 echoes :/
To the boss? Tip: You can grab the echoes, then use a Bold Hunter's Mark to return to the hub. Just make sure you have an opening, because enemies can knock you out of the animation.

yeah, then died agin so i assume they are gone for good
There was a fake promo image the other day.
If you die with zero echoes then they're gone for good. If you die with echoes then your bloodstain contains the echoes you had when you dies.
You can also quit the game in the menu when at the boss. When you load next time you'll be right outside the boss area.

died to boss, picked them up, died to him again, died to another enemy before picking them up but had some echoes on me
Yeah then you lost whatever was not on you.

actually no cant decide if to upgrade saw or sprear
Just pick the one with the moveset and stat scaling you like. You'll get access to better weapons soon, and upgrade materials become more common as you go.

Ahhh ok. I thought it was a From Software IP for Sony. Didnt know Sony actually owned the license. Good to know!
And another: Ahhh ok... A friend was saying about a Bloodborne 2 the other day... This time (since I screw up in the past with unchecked info trusting a website) I wanted to ask around to confirm or deny this info. Thanks!
The original version of Bloodborne actually didn't have NPC summons except for 2 bosses I believe. They were added later, so originally they weren't really designed with NPC summons in mind. I'm not saying you shouldn't summon NPCs but I think you should know that it's different than the other Souls games in that regard.

Omg finally got Ludwig. Took me 8 tries. That was by far the toughest boss in the game. Feels good.
Haha he isn't even the toughest boss in the DLC. Kos and Maria are both more difficult and the last six chalice bosses are all more difficult. The boss difficultly continues to scale up in a way I did not expect after playing the main story.

literally the only thing I missed, whats with the wheelchair guy, he keeps respawning? attacks me without provocation too.

Nice! I was kinda disappointed with the base game difficulty tbh. I haven't done any chalice dungeons either lol

Lost to the second boss again despite having the music box, he transformed way earlier this time too

You are becoming better use the box on his second phase
ShogunDarius
Member
Transformed he is so damn fast and has fucking long range. Even when I dodge he hits me, and I can rarely parry with the blunder
You can cheese him in the second phase by running around the big square thing by the stairs. Try to get him stuck around a corner of the square and take cheap hits. Chip away at his health that way.
Or use the music box and take a few quick hits and the. Run away.
Use it too many times (3 I think) and he'll transform earlier.
Save the box to use after the transformation. You'll only get to use once, but it's where it counts.

Beat the bastard, put simply I fought him normally in phase 1, but managed to hurt him a bit more just before he changed. Phase 2 I used the music box, annoyingly he was attempting a long range lunge at the time, sidestepped it and wailed on him while he was taken aback by it. After he recovered he was one heavy hit from death so just smacked him while leaving myself open, we traded, I won. That was hard.
I found parrying him in beast form was pretty hard, especially as the blunderbuss is slow

I'm thinking about making a hunter tools build, but I haven't found a single one yet. I'm in the cathedral ward. Am I close to any hunter tool?

Finally got enough chunks to get another weapon to +9 so I decided to give my Saw Cleaver a break and try out Ludwig's Holy Blade. It's really good. Now I just need to get another blood rock.
LHB is easy mode. Put some gems in it and wreck.
The dude who drops bullets? He's a regular enemy, you'll see more of his kind later.
I like Bloodborne it was my first FROM game too, but going back to it after DS3 the stats and build variety and weapon selection are very small compared to Souls. Although that can be good too. I hate having to worry about my weight in Souls (but it makes sense why they do it otherwise everyone would just wear Havel set lol).

Got the brooch after that boss, i knew the 2 things you could do with it from a search earlier about the music box, decided to do the 'right' thing rather than keep it

I don't think many people would agree that Maria is more difficult.
Hell, I have a harder time with Living Failures, but to be fair no one would agree with me on that either.

Oh, i wasn't talking about NPC summons but rather other players, which i really enjoy doing in Dark Souls too. I try to avoid the none player characters as their just a distraction at best, unless they made a lot of improvements to the Bloodborne ones. I did play through and complete Bloodborne at launch, only coming back this past week to grab the Platinum and play through the DLC. The bosses do scale based on the amount of players there, so it is a feature these games are built around.
We've had this discussing many times over the years but choosing to summon in these games in not choosing to play the game in an easier mode, more so not summoning and ignoring one of the games key features is choosing to play in a harder mode. (Not aimed at you Soulhouf, i just sometimes see people shaming players for summoning in these games, which is daft)

Basically, Celestial Emissary part 2.
Threw some gems on it and the AR is insane.

I'm with you. I killed Maria on my first try, Living Failures were way harder.

Likewise (well, second try with Maria, but much harder time with the LFs).

Got Maria my second try. She staggers easily. Ludwig is easily the hardest of the first 3 DLC bosses imo.

Where can I find the LHB weapon?
To the right of the entrance leading to Vicar Amelia, keep going and eventually you'll encounter two hunters. One drops a badge that lets you purchase the LHB from the shop. I think.
