I need to delve back into the dungeons, have been putting it off as the next one up is the defiled dungeon and I'm sitting on 2.5M souls. I'm just going to level up some more maybe to 130-135 and jump in.

I'm no where near as effective with the blades of mercy but rolling into an R1, L1 transformation stun, L2 backstep, is awesome

Hi ALl,

I'm desperate to get my hands on the Yharnam Stone in Chalice Dungeon.

I'm told by a guide it resides with last boss in Pthumeru Ihyll Chalice, and the route to get this chalice is in Pthumeru line >Defiled Chalice.

When I go through this dungeon, I dont get the chalice at the end. In fact I dont get the Bosses at all:

Keeper of the Old Lords (Layer 1)
Watch Dog of the Old Lords (Layer 2)
Amygdala (Layer 3)

I get these:

Merciless Watcher x 3
Pthumerian Descendant
Bloodletting Beast

Any ideas? I just want to get to last chalice to get to Yharnam Queen and get the stone!

I have these chalices already:
Pthumeru Chalice
Central Pthumeru Chalice
Lower Pthumeru Chalice
Defiled Chalice

Thanks

To get to the Queen you need to get the "Great Pthumeru Ihyll Chalice" you get it off Amygdala after killing her in the Defiled chalice dungeon.

I would recommend name checking all of the chalice dungeons you're going in and out of, make sure you're going in the right one, the names can be confusing.

Can't play this game, the fps are all over the place on ps4 slim.

Not that they are dropping but the shattering it is just unplayable for me

The only place I've seen stuttering is at the big bonfire on the street in the starting area. Just after the bell rings and the guys move off on their rounds the FPS drops well down.

Any time i go back to Bloodborne I always feel the framepacing affect the game but it fades the longer you play.
It's worse if I've been playing a PC game or a 60 fps game.

gimli2112

It seemed a little off to me recently but that could have been because I was playing it for 5 hours straight and was having some kind of seizure.

Taltos

I've only seen stuttering when playing coop with some but not always.
Otherwise not noticing what you're seeing.

TitianGerm

Started a new character with the Axe a little while ago, the stun ability is great on it but I definitely prefer the Cleaver overall.

So far I'm sitting at 16 Vitality and Stamina, 17/18 in Endurance and 30 in Strength. I haven't touched any other stats. I've a +6 Axe and +5 Saw Spear.

Bosses down are Cleric Beast, Gasgoine, Blood Starved Beast, Witches and Darkbeast Paarl.

Going to tackle Amelia next.

Frame pacing, its the one thing stopping me from playing the game again. Gives the illusion that the game is dropping frames but its not. I think Dark Souls 3 on PS4 also had the same problem

Mickeroo

I started it today and enjoying it so far.Lack of a shield takes a bit of getting used to and the blunderbuss seems a bit inconsistent but was getting the hang of it before I hopped off earlier.

Managed to get the cleric beast beaten on the second or third try, looking forward to getting back to it later.

t does seem to run like ass though unfortunately, but won't be enough to put me off playing.

Mickeroo

Main game more or less done now, just one boss left on the Old Hunters DLC. Main game was brilliant but have found the Old Hunters to be a miserable slog tbh.

Didn't go near the chalice dungeons, not sure I like the sound of them so likely won't be platinuming it.

nix

Big learning curve on the old hunters, and eh, the chalice dungeons are great, loads of unique mobs and bosses..

Dont half ass it Mick! :P

gimli2112

by mistake I only went into the dlc on ng+, it's fn rough, a real struggle. beat Ludwig a few days ago, best thing EVER

now that a remember it, it was a few hours after beating defiled amygdala, jesus that really was a good day

gimli2112

platinumed earlier, beaten the game but sat down with some spreadsheets and wine and picked up the last few things
found my first cheater, one shotted one reborn

farming gems now, can't stop

Doubt that's real? You'd imagine that all Froms effort is on Sekiro now?

One can only hope

Doctor Nick

Apparently amazon Italy have previously leaked or prematurely published games that have in fact been released (according to resetera). But they mentioned this particular listing suggests its coming to xbox which would never happen as we all know (in saying that I can't see any mention of any platform). I wouldn't hold my breath anyway but we can dream.

gimli2112

aren't they the guys who "leaked" MW2 remastered was launching in April?

Bloodborne has been added to PS Now.

gimli2112

There's a post on reddit about how you can play Bloodborne on a PC via PS Now. I don't practice the dark arts so I cannot tell you how. Just reading the thread and it seems to by US only.

https://www.reddit.com/r/bloodborne/comments/9d3oz4/bloodborne_playable_on_pc_through_playstation_now/

Thought I'd give this thread a bump, cover art of the new issue of Bloodborne is too good not to share:eek:

Are they a good read? I picture them being mostly art work considering how vague the games story telling is :pac::D

I think they're very good. Kot nails the atmosphere and the first story arc is a fantastic take on the search for pale blood, putting his own take on it that easily fits in with the games lore

Doctor Nick

Have any of you heard about the references in Déraciné that has folks convinced it points at Bloodborne 2?
