What level were you guys when you finished the game? I'm 65, and judging from some people online that's very low. I even seen someone on Gamefaqs who was 'only level 82'

65 does sound a little low. I'm pretty sure I was around the 80 mark myself too.

I'm 106 now and I've 2 dungeons on the go and both are really difficult after beating all the easier depths.

I must beat the Watchdog in the Defiled Dungeon which is ridiculously tough as he can 1 hit kill me and in the other (lower Loran) I must kill the Darkbeast who I'm not really damaging a whole pile.

In NG+, I've beaten the first two bosses and I'm clearly a bit over-levelled for them I would say.

Can anyone help us out with last boss?

No wonder I was finding so many of the mobs to be horse**** for the damaging inflicted to and from.

Yeah I was chaining viscerals on Gascoigne, 12 later he still had about 15% health left. Did a double swing with his axe and bam. Nearly fvcked the controller through the screen.

In the Dungeons now, I'm assuming Depth 3 should be above my head? I'm really struggling with the mobs, got lucky with bosses in that I've been able to parry them all in the depth 2 and 3 dungeons

I think you should be fine for depth 3. What level are you now?

Depth 4 to 5 get really tough with some really cool bosses too. You also get some crazy amount if souls. I've easily picked up 200k going through a layer on those depths.

Not gotten to play as much of this game as I've wanted to but beat Amelia there on my second try. Saw her do her heal thing and I went crazy, how dare she try and heal herself! Got a molotov to the face every time she tried it. It wasn't the prettiest fight but out of 20 healing vials I came out with 1 spare by the end

I'm still cool, right?

Cleared it.

What a game it is. I might sell it and buy Dark Souls 2 with the money as I never played any of them before.

Jesus, the dungeons get seriously punishing.

Just encountered Rom and his buddies in a boss battle down there, in a much smaller arena. I was demolished in a matter of seconds.

Dark Souls 1!

Got Scholar of the First Sin on steam last night. It's horrible going back to this game after playing that and having 1 second load times with my SSD.

The joy of beating Rom was like no other. I was wondering around Halogean (sp) place, mostly running, picking up treasure and I found the Tonitrus on a corpse. The electricity attack with a Fire rune I placed on the weapon definitely helped with Rom. Absolutely drained after that fight. I'm sure things get easier.....riiiiiiiight?

You did the right thing getting that first as the lamp for there turns off after you beat rom

Aw finally a bit of luck so! I was about give up on that place on my next death as it was clear I was under levelled for it. I'm 42 at moment with 29 strength, trying to get it to 30 to use the canon, hope it's worth it.

Well done. I found that the hardest part of the game (not done the dungeons yet though). The bosses get easier in my experience.

Better optimised game, hopefully they can patch out the bulk of the load in bloodborne. Side note, SSD's have a very marginal effect on game load times.

Fair play, I imagine the last fight or two must have been pretty tough at that level.

You'll definitely need to level up now anyway to tackle the dungeons.

Maybe on console but boot times and load times on my PC are ridiculous at the moment. Mostly likely on consoles there's a lot more disc streaming and decompression which is not dependant on the disk drive.

I met my 4th boss last night... I was not in Form, so only got "her" to half HP on first try, but I can already say its going to be a bitch of a fight! :pac:

I still cant get a decent replacement for my Axe weapon... Its just so good in one hander and 2 hander forms. I like a bit the Hammer and 2hander sword thing, but one hander versions just suck. I always come back to my trusty Axe.

I was referring to PC.

It's not.
Sorry I levelled up specifically to use it.
Should have spread out my levelling.

FortuneChip

Haven't had the best of chances to get into this yet, but off tomorrow & Thursday.

At my most recent play, I'd gotten rid of BSB, and killed 3 bosses in the Pthumera (?) dungeon.
I'd also gotten a Root Chalice & Central chalice.

I'm about Lvl 39. Should I be carrying on in the dungeons, or heading to that area with a load of giants (and those horrible lads that bring you to the Unseen Village when they grab you)

johnny_ultimate

How do you know somebody has a gaming PC? Because they bring it up at every opportunity

Seriously though, much prefer Bloodborne in its current state to a perfectly optimised PC version of DS2. A perfectly optimised Bloodborne would be nice, but a world of difference between the two games - there's just that extra layer of care and creativity to Bloodborne's world, apparent as soon as you step out into Yarnham.

One shotting people in pvp and taking a third of a bosses hp with a single shot is totally worth it.

Retr0gamer

Not showing off or anything and there's no doubt Bloodborne is the much better designed game but the fast load times really help the playability of the game where I can only give Bloodborne an hour or two before getting so annoyed with the load times I give up on it while DS2 on my current rig is lot better where I'm straight back into it after a death. That of course might be tempered by the fact that I'm a hell of a lot better at DS2 since I'm familiar with it.

The One Reborn and Ebritas were the only bosses I struggled with

The Wet Nurse decimated me the first time, but she went down pretty easily on round two. I bowed out in the finale if you get me

Ah I see. I get you.

Maybe I was over-levelled as I didn't have much issue with the 2 bosses you mentioned although a good few of people seem to mention Ebritas as a really tough one.

Martyr Longinus was the toughest boss in the game for me but there was also some really cool boss fights. I may go into again a little more under-levelled in NG+.
