Dying to any Potato Sack Man will take you to Unseen Village. Can confirm, since I died to one in one of the Forbidden Woods villages and was taken to the prison, cutscene and all.

The Snatchers which appear after Blood-starved Beast is killed can be found behind the Oedon Chapel in Cathedral Ward; near the tomb entrance to Old Yharnam; below the plaza to the right of the Grand Cathedral; in the streets below the Healing Church Workshop; and near the dog cages in the Forbidden Woods.
Behind that door are 3 different areas.Old workshop, Upper Yarnham and if you go all the way down you will find a way past the magically sealed door in Cathedral Ward. No need to buy the 10k key to open the door. You can't summon anyone to help with any bosses in the area though if you don't buy the key so there's that.
Honestly, I think this is a terrible habit of the community. Don't get me wrong, his stuff is great! I was part of three of his streams and I adore his youtube content (still didn't read Paleblood Hunt though), but I kinda hate how every time the lore comes up people just say "go read this guy". What are you guys, Gerhman? It's for my own good?
Anyone interested in taking a deeper look into the lore should just play the game and pay more attention to it. Then discuss with the community, and, of course, watch videos and read stuff. I feel like there's a constant increase in a "just play the game 'normally' and then read the Paleblood Hunt" mentaility, which is, in my opinion, unhealthy to the lore discussion.
I actually disagree with Redgrave in a lot of the stuff he says (even if I still think the videos are great), but that's only possible because I played the game paying as much attention to the lore as possible, making my own mind about it and then discussing with friends and the online community. If you don't go through this process yourself, you'll just absorb his views on the game and accept them as fact, since you can't really form a counter argument in your head to make up your own mind when it comes to the stuff that is just open to interpretation and there's no 100% fact on it.
Redgrave himself always warns people they shouldn't "appeal to authority", and just accept his word as law just because "he's the guy who wrote many pages on the lore".
Looking at lore videos, it astounds me how From can operate on their own league in terms of video game story that is woven into their gameplay. Their subtlety is powerful and leaves an ever lasting impression on me.
So not only their gameplay is the best, but their lore and world building is fantastic. Greatest developer of the past 7 years, easily.
Which is why I said take a deeper look into the lore. And they should watch videos to get themselves thinking. Of course it isnt healthy for people to simple take in others interpretations and accept them as fact. But the truth is some people dont have the time or care to piece together information on their own, which is why people like Vaati and Redgrave are important. I personally choose to suggest Redgrave because he's gone the most in depth on what could be happening in the Lore and many of his theories are supported by the game. If someone choose to accept those theories its their choice. There will always be someone else to provide a counterpoint.

Truth. No apology needed.Sorry to nitpick, but not the ones in the Chalice Dungeons.
I never got into the Souls games but for whatever reason this game just clicked with me. I;m still at the beginning though( just got to the Father Gascoigne fight and am getting my ass handed to me.
Any tips?

Prepare yourself for a world pain in the dlc. Pay special attention to the music, because it's fantastic.I guess I'll have to replay it for the DLC and Cainhurst. I've never replayed any of these games, not because I don't like them obviously but because I liked them so much in the first playthrough that I don't want to tarnish the experience in some way. That, and because I think part of what makes them great is the fact that you can and will miss stuff if you don't read a guide or know what secrets and enemies are around the next corner, which you do for the most part if you play again.
I might be weird but I don't try out every weapon or build, I stick with one build and two-three weapons for the whole game. I don't know, there's something about leaving stuff undiscovered and/or unused that I like, as long as it's not a main area worth a boss or two like apparently Cainhurst is. I'm talking a 5-10% of the game's content in regards to weapons, items or a secret small area. Cainhurst plus what's left of the chalice dungeons and the DLC will make me come back to this one for sure though, I'm just glad I derped with overconfidence against that bag dude though lol or I would've missed the prison break too.
This and some people prefer to take him up the steps so they don't get caught on any obstacles.Learn to gun parry. Follow up with viscerals.
I started the game not too long ago. I've beaten like four bosses. It's good but man is this game repetitive.
Having gone through the entire Bloodborne lore now that the DLC has been released, I can safely say that this game has one of the best world-building/lore in all of gaming.
Seriously, the various realms/frontiers and cosmic fuckery in this game are fascinating stuff

I feel like the hunted. :OIt's all about Hunt.
I leveled up well before I knew the cleric beast existed.It starts horribly. Just incredibly poorly designed not letting you level up before you stumble on the cleric beast. That being said, once I got past that, got some levels and started getting into a grove I am really enjoying it. Farming bullets/vials is really a dumb decision, but the speedier gameplay is really interesting.

How do you all rankin terms of fight difficulty compared to the rest of the game? I really struggled with the wide, sweeping attacks and massive damage. It madeOrphan of Kosseem quite easy straight after because he hit for so much less damage.Laurence
Playing through BB again solidifies that I cannot rank these games in an order. Every time I play one of them, it feels like my favourite game. They're all truly amazing. I just wish Bloodborne was on PC for dat 60FPS goodness. I want the platinum but cannot be bothered farming chalice dungeons for that trophy, I'm not really a fan. I might one day, though.
Bloodborne is still the best game available on PS4, IMO. I cannot wait for Dark Souls 3 utilising the BB engine at 60FPS, it's going to be glorious.

Just bought this during Christmas vacations. I had never played a Souls game before and was never interested anyway but I loved the art style in Bloodborne and I got it for 20 bucks.
Holy shit. I still don't even know what I'm doing. I pride myself in playing all my games on hard on the first run because I can't bother to beat them multiple times, but this is something else. The whole philosophy of get out there and die and then come back to die a little bit further. It's actually scary going out to explore and surviving for a long time, because now you have all this loot and you're far away from a safe haven without knowing if you're gonna run into a boss at any time. The visuals and sound (soundtrack is lovely) just accentuate the constant dread.
I'm at Vicar Amelia (12 hours or so) and I already got more than my money's worth.

About vials being a consumable item, while it wasn't really an issue to me, I've always felt like Estus in Dark Souls was the best healing model they've made so far, definitely the most balanced. For people doing well at the game, it can be more challenging because they have a limited amount at first, while in Bloodborne you can have 20 from the start, and for people struggling with the game, they can at least be sure they'll always have 5~10 estus, never having to farm them.
Hopefully they keep that system for Dark Souls III.
Up there, definitely. I thinkwas the hardest boss in the game, and I also felt likeFiresage Beast (you can never be too safe with some of these spoilers )gave me more trouble than him, but when it comes to the main game, the only other boss that gave me as much trouble was the Defiled Hotdog in the Chalice Dungeons, but that's more because of the gimmick in that chalice than the boss just having a difficult moveset to deal with.Ludwig, the Accursed
Loved the bosses in the DLC, what an amazing expansion, the game is a lot better with it. Not just because of the content it offers, but also how it changes the game, with much more weapon variety, and more importantly, with you getting almost all of them just by picking them up, rather then unlocking them to purchase with a badge.
The Platinum is actually the easiest in the series, and now that you can buy Chalice materials in the shops, it's probably even easier. It's definitely worth doing. Chalice Dungeons are trash imo, but some of the boss fights are legit great.

You ain't even close to done
Yeah, the director talks about difficulty as a means to an end in several interviews. It's not as much about him enjoying hard games as it is just the fact that the tension created by a high difficulty results in a much more rewarding feeling when you beat the challenge.
Part of what makes the bosses so memorable is how you have to understand their every move to progress, you can't just treat them like any other enemy and move on. It really makes you appreciate the fight's design a lot more.
Which bosses did you fight so far?
Not sure who you mean by, do you meanFiresage Beast? I think I got pretty lucky with him, I had run out of flasks and managed to kill him mid-swing just before I died, he was a toughie but I felt his damage was pretty minimal after getting constantly 2-3 hit by theLawrence.Orphanwas SUPER intense, loved that fight also and his voice was super creepy. Agreed regarding the DLC, I felt that the re-release of SOTFS for DS2 was a massive improvement and totally required. While The Old Hunters isn't as huge, I think it's definitely necessary to get the best experience, even just for the new weapons.Ludwig
Cleric Beast, Father G, Blood Starved Beast, and Vicar Amelia.
But honestly it's not even about the bosses for me. It's the literally the exploring. When you've gone like 30 minutes without getting a checkpoint, or shortcut, or anything that might indicate that you're safe, and you have like 20,000 echoes on you. You start walking at like 0 miles per hour with your eyes wide open just in case some random comes out of nowhere and one shots you. You're so vulnerable in this game, that if one of those little chumps from the beginning lands a combo you could actually die, and any fight involving 2 or more enemies is a freaking duel to death.
Neato. I never knew what did it in. I was wondering why everyone was struggling with the Cleric Beast.Madman's knowledge near sewer with the rats

Playing it on NG+3 for the first time might have something to do with my impressions regarding the difficulty of the bosses. I read you talking about a big difference being you getting 2~3 shot, buthad quite a few moves that one shot me, even at 50 VIT. So being able to take 1 or 2 hits from that boss was great to meLaurence
Oh dang, fair enough then haha! I killed him first attempt just essentially tanking a lot of his hits as I could take about 4 hits and be okay. He looked awesome though, it's like they thought "What would make thelook even more insane? I know, lets set him on fire!" I actually really hate 1 shotting bosses and missing out on cool stuff, likecleric beastI kind of cheesed just standing between her leg things and comboing her from behind. Then again, I cheesed half of Demon's Souls in my first playthrough because it was so damn hard and it still felt good so oh well!Ebrietas
