Haven't played this game yet Ju (still hanging out for my copy to be delivered) but I've finished the last three, so in answer to your question: they're stupidly hard. But it doens't take a game genius to beat them. The fighting mechanics are actually very simple. These are not Bayonetta or Street Fighter games. The atmosphere is the thing. If you allow the atmosphere to draw you in, and accept the fact that you're meant to die and that this is not an aberration or a sign that you 'suck', then you'll find the Souls games hugely compelling. Dying a lot is the point. They're quite relaxing when you accept that.

You can't summon against that boss unless you spend 10k on a special item. You can get Fire Paper from the vendor. It's 1730 a time though. A maximum of two is all you'll need. Keep practicing. Once you get the patterns down, it's a really easy boss. You only want to hit twice then dodge. Once it kneels, you can go mad on it. You can always take on the fifth boss first too. That area is really easy, as the enemies are really weak. The fifth boss is just a normal enemy with a huge life bar. It didn't even hit me once.
Bloodborne is way easier than the Soul's games IMO. I don't feel afraid to take on any enemy. The VA is godly.Last edited by J0e Musashi; 26-03-2015, 19:22.Kept you waiting, huh?

oh man did this boss piss me off. i had to spend 3 of my 4 insights to find finally find me capable co-op partner to finish him. even then it was a close call. i was already determined to sell the game if i would lose my last insight without success.
no idea what Fromsoft were smoking when deciding to make this the first level boss. i know i am crap at this game but surely this boss will put many gamers off, especially series new comers. so expect lots of second hand copies coming in soon.
@ Joe, you just need a special item for invading and helping others out.

No. The main gate to Central Yharnam has to be open before you can summon. From put it in to make people think the game was bugged, but it is actually intentional and is one of the bosses powers. You can unlock it through exploration, which is likely what you did. Otherwise you can buy a key for 10k to unlock it instantly.
You can farm Souls quite easily in the Cathedral area. Some enemies will drop 798 every time. I spent around three hours there last night. I'm level 42 now, and my weapons are +6. I'm quite over-powered for the area I'm currently in. I think I'll complete my first run by Saturday with a bit of luck.Kept you waiting, huh?
