Ah, kicked that suckers ass the first time so I just assumed you had to beat it. That is good that you can still make due with losing too.You just have to battle it once. Win or lose, you will be able to level up after. Anyway, I find it cute that the doll reacts to the gestures.
Did you get it situated? The stump messenger is behind the building. You have to go up the left and spin around the building and they are back there. You find a hat early on in game and for the longest time I didn't even know you could go back there : PSo.. I put in the code for the Top Hat.. it says it should be near the stump messenger. I do not see anything.
exited game.. still nothing. The game page shows I have it installed, where exactly is it?
and yeah... the game is no cakewalk.
Restored licenses 3-4 times and kept getting an error.
Completely shut PS4 down, got back into game... and it finally shows up.
I think I am pretty much just right behind you. Not sure of the actual count because I do not know if some characters are counted as 'bosses' such asI love how visceral attacks demolish various bosses. Currently, I have gone through four bosses and the first chalice dungeon. However, I am still unsure of whether to commit to a str/tinge or skill/tinge build yet.
i mean i put stuff in vitality and stam too. what does the skill one do? i def wont be putting any in arcane cuz right now it just seems uselessI have not put anything into tinge haha
I am all STR VIT and STAM. I do not use my gun all that much. Should probably start leveling that up though since after 25 my STR stat has seen diminished returns.
Skill seems to be like the dexterity of this new gamei mean i put stuff in vitality and stam too. what does the skill one do? i def wont be putting any in arcane cuz right now it just seems useless
From the Cleric Beast lamp go back on the bridge and take the first left you can where you drop down. Follow that path to some dogs and then a big staircase down and there is more there.i beat cleric beast but every door i go to is closed by a device. i know the second area is kinda like a sewer right? where the hell is it haha
I decided to go skill/tinge for this run. Anyway, Saw Spear is amazing to me. I love using the transformation combos on enemies and it has great range. Saw Cleaver is the same in design, but minus range and power. It's more suited more towards Str builds though. Anyway, currently using the Rifle Spear as main and Threaded Cane as second primary for mobs only.What are you guys all finding as your favorite weapons so far?
If you really like the Saw Cleaver I say go with it. Bloodstone Shards are very easy to come by so no worries spending them and then deciding to change later on.yeah i got it like 10 minutes after posting. every time i see a new enemy i never fought before i get scared about losing my echoes. hahaha
so should i fortify my original saw cleaver or wait until i get a better weapon? if im just gonna end up changing weapons, i dont wanna waste a ton of those blood stone shard things
Take anything you like to +3. There are plenty of shards in the game and they are farmable. You will have to make a decision though with a weapon that you want to take to +4 since twin shards are more rare. You can still farm twin shards, but the drop-rate isn't as good.so should i fortify my original saw cleaver or wait until i get a better weapon? if im just gonna end up changing weapons, i dont wanna waste a ton of those blood stone shard things
Just run through the level to get an idea what you are up against. I made the mistake in Demon's souls of moving slow as a turtle. I ended up not finishing the game because I would get so pissed when I would die and lose all of my souls. Or I would craft something that is basically useless and then I find out I have to play through the whole game again to get another stone.I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but there aren't any difficulty options are there? I hate to miss out on a great game for such a stupid reason but I ain't got no time for crazy ass difficulty reminding me how much I suck at games. Not sure why I even care really since The Show will own my soul next week.
Hah yeah really you can use whatever weapon through the whole game in any Souls game which is pretty cool. Just a matter of upgrading it.yeah since this is my first "souls game" im not sure if the whole "your first weapon will eventually become useless" like in every other game hahaha
There are only three versions: normal, uncanny, and lost. So far, the only differences are the location they are found in and the gem imprints on them.Speaking of have you guys gotten variants of the normal weapons? I got one like as I went to bed last night so I cannot remember exactly but in a Chalice Dungeon I got a ____ Saw Spear. The blank being some sort of adjective that made it sound stronger... which I cannot remember.
Uncanny! That was it. The gems provide massive boosts though so the difference in those could be a big deal.There are only three versions: normal, uncanny, and lost. So far, the only differences are the location they are found in and the gem imprints on them.
Try finding one of the bosses so you can level up. Anyway, I have been farming insight via coop.I just don't know if I should bother fighting everything or just try to find the boss.
Took me a few tries too, my friend told me about a little shortcut you can unlock to get to him quicker if you died and that helped since you could bypass a lot of enemies.After 5 attempts I finally beat the Cleric Beast. Man, that wasn't an easy first boss by any means.
Yeah with that shortcut from the first lamp there you can basically just run straight from the lamp to the boss and not even interact with the enemies.Took me a few tries too, my friend told me about a little shortcut you can unlock to get to him quicker if you died and that helped since you could bypass a lot of enemies.
I had the same experience. I didn't expect the boss fight and yea I agree it was a lot easier. Makes me think that he was suppose to be the first boss haha.Just finished the second boss. Surprisingly it was a lot easier than the first one and it only took me two tries, although the first time I didn't know it would be a boss fight and didn't have enough bullets/cocktails for it.

It's has two uses. Fist, it is used to summon other people to help you. Costs one insight. Second, it acts as a form of currency in Hunter's Dream to buy special armor and other items there. You need at least 10 insight for the messenger to show up to let you buy items with insight.what is insight? i have some of it but no idea what it does
There seems to be other impacts the more insight you have but nobody has figured out what yet.It's has two uses. Fist, it is used to summon other people to help you. Costs one insight.

You get insight by killing bosses yourself or helping others clear their bosses.
Yeah I havent noticed anything myself either really but I am still hoping there are some extra mechanics built in that nobody has figured out yet!I have over 30 and the only thing I really noticed is that some of the enemies have an extra attack or two.
i just memorized the stats lol. then did +/- in my head to see if it was worth buyingSo is there a way to compare your currently equipped armor with the vendors' or am I blind?
High insight doesn't seem to affect drop rates from what I have noticed. It would have been a nice homage to the black world tendency of Demon's Souls if they did that (tougher enemies, better drop rate). I guess that is the point of the higher difficulty Chalice dungeons.Yeah I havent noticed anything myself either really but I am still hoping there are some extra mechanics built in that nobody has figured out yet!
Yeah that is what my buddies and I were speculating that it was at first, more akin to the World Tendencies of Demon's Souls; too bad it is not.High insight doesn't seem to affect drop rates from what I have noticed.

i think every gun is like that with the exception of the cannon. apparently this thing is insanely OPSpeaking of weapons I haven't really bothered to upgrade my guns past 3 because I feel like you arent really ever using the pistol and what not for damage but moreso just stunning the enemy... at least with how I have been playing.
Damn, 10 bullets per shot means you only have 2 total!i think every gun is like that with the exception of the cannon. apparently this thing is insanely OP
yeah but with high bloodtinge it annihilates bosses apparentlyDamn, 10 bullets per shot means you only have 2 total!
Req 30 STR to even hold so definitely a NG+ weapon to really pack a punchyeah but with high bloodtinge it annihilates bosses apparently
the base caps at 25. is there any items that bump it up to hold on your initial game?Req 30 STR to even hold so definitely a NG+ weapon to really pack a punch
It doesnt cap at 25 you can go as high as you want, it is just after 25 the increase in damage is lessened per attribute point. I am at like 28 STR right now myself on my first playthrough.the base caps at 25. is there any items that bump it up to hold on your initial game?
oohhh, i gotcha. well then the cannon could totally be a first play through gun then. my str is like 23 already and about to fight the 3rd bossIt doesnt cap at 25 you can go as high as you want, it is just after 25 the increase in damage is lessened per attribute point. I am at like 28 STR right now myself on my first playthrough.
Ya, that's a thing, lots of the heavy weapons in Dark Souls required STR higher than the soft cap in order to wield them.It doesnt cap at 25 you can go as high as you want, it is just after 25 the increase in damage is lessened per attribute point. I am at like 28 STR right now myself on my first playthrough.
