Spent about 3hrs shouting at my TV, finally killed the cleric beast... Only to find I didn't need to!
This game is extremely irritating and yet I can't stop...
It's optional, but the badge you get for beating it unlocks purchases in the store in the Hunters Dream.This game is extremely irritating and yet I can't stop...
One of the items unlocks a shortcut if you want access to a certain area a little bit earlier / easier.
I'm still absolutely loving this. Surely, this will be the game of the year.
I've just done the trek down into Old Yharnam. It's the Blighttown of Bloodborne, certainly! One trip to a final destination, and then back again. I had heard of the Blood Starved Beast being a stumbling point, but I kicked his arse with relative ease. Sticking close to him, dodging diagonally past his attacks and striking his back legs was what worked for me. I only used three antidotes but when I first died at his hands, it was after losing about 80% of my health from one combo and taking poison on top of it. Annoying, the animation to take an antidote is slower and easier to interrupt than drinking a blood vial.
This morning saw me take an unexpected trip to the Unseen Village, although I quickly found my way home. I'm loving the overall layout and design, so many shortcuts and layers to discover.

If not, don't. Come back to him later once you defeat the boss in the unseen village. You'll get a shortcut to Old Yarnham so you can approach him without him seeing you. If he doesn't ever spot you he doesn't aggro and you can talk to him.
I got into Iosefkas clinic and found out what was going on in there. ***Spoiler*** if you want your NPC rescues to live, don't send them to Iosefka...
Can someone please clarify the saving mechanism for me?
After 3 torturous hours, I've fought the 1st bonfire group about 20 times
and got the shortcut and hunter armour. If I quit now, will that progress be saved, or do I have to make it to lantern number 2?
Also, does X for run have no effect for anyone else? I've tried holding it down and pressing it quickly but neither seem to increase his speed.
Loving it so far, but by god it's tough. My only real criticism is that the fights feel a bit clunky. Bloodborne is probably more realistic, but God of War had the whole hit and evade manoeuvre down to a tee.

The game autosaves everything. You won't lose any progress.
BUT, you have to quite the game properly or your save file could be corrupted. So press options go to system and quit. You can turn the PS4 off once you're back in the main menu.
Remember, things don't stay dead. YOu clear an area, if you leave that area and go back everything is reset.
I don't feel it's clunky at all. It's circle to run, not X.

Thanks for the replies.
I got a list of controls with the game that says X is run. Just tried O and it works, how strange.
I had a go last night and quit application rather than going through the menus. Problem solved, cheers!!
If you push the PS button and go to quit application without exiting from your current game I think you might still have a chance of corrupting your save. THe game will tell you when you start it up that you didn't quit properly.I got a list of controls with the game that says X is run. Just tried O and it works, how strange.

Interesting.Haven't been captivated by a game this much since Fallout3/Bioshock.
Started getting the hang of it. The game, and Yarnham itself is starting to get a bit less daunting, think you're getting on top of it, turn a corner......and blam! What the hell is that?!?!
Every encounter is strategic. How much blood have I got on me? Can I afford to lose it? Can I win this fight? Shall I go back home and spend the blood echoes so they're safe?
Not a spoiler, but if anyone has yet to encounter Eileen the Crow google her. I inadvertantly ruined her quest line as was unawre of it.
I googled some moves and found this: http://www.polygon.com/2015/3/26/8296155/bloodborn... there's probably loads more.
A couple of other nice moves.
Burrito combo (pvp tactic mostly, I guess). You can parry with the gun and when they stagger spam R1 right in front of them. You can sometimes get a free R1 attack in before he goes in for the visceral.

Chaining backstabs. Some weapons are so fast that you can do a charged attack to stagger for a visceral, then get a second charged attack in and restagger. Then go visceral attack.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0haEeUWP88
Parry / Riposte with the Cannon. You need a trick weapon that can shoot and use that to parry. Then riposte with the cannon for huge damage. Even better if you use Bone Ash to boost gun power.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrOakAdTuJE
Massive damage with the flamethrower. Parry, then when they are staggered unleash a normal attack with flamethrower. Even better if you use oil urn first. Yeah, that's almost 20,000 damage in one attack...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGFi88vHjYM&fe...
Also, use both forms of your weapon. If you're close enough R1 then transform with L1, if they get hit by the transformation... That's a guard break.
I don't know if people are using the notes system but if you see a note you like or that helped, rate it fine.
The person who left the note gets a message saying "One of your notes was rated fine" and they get full hp. That can help! Especially if it happens in a boss fight.
