They will automatically replenish whenever you respawn so long as you have some stored away.

  • @wackamack9829
    @wackamack9829 4 года назад +91

    Hi Luke, really enjoyed the stream 😁 I've played through this game more times than is probably healthy, so I just wanted to drop some tips here for you, as this game doesn't necessarily make certain mechanics clear right off the bat: (quick disclaimer: I'm not doing this to undermine your gameplay - you're a goshdang natural after all - I'm just hoping to make your time playing a bit easier and more enjoyable 🙂)
    Rally system: when you're hit, your lost health isn't immediately taken away. If you get in and attack immediately, each hit will recover health. This even works for a short time after an enemy dies. This is essential for saving on healing items. Don't underestimate how valuable this is; speed and aggression are definitely your friends.
    Dodging: the best direction to dodge is usually, though not always, *through* an enemy's attack instead of away. For example, if they swing an axe/hammer/hairy arm at you, dodging underneath will get you in an ideal position.
    Parrying: I feel silly even writing this for Luke "Parry King", who bitchslapped Gwyn to death, but parrying (known as Visceral Attacks in Bloodborne) can be a bit tricky. Once the bullet lands and you hear the tell-tale "staggered" noise and see them fall to their knees/gross appendages, quick-step in close (the closer the better - try and get right in their face) and press R1 once. If you press it repeatedly, it sometimes doesn't register as a parry. Also worth noting that on some bosses (including the Cleric Beast), dealing enough damage to a certain body part, usually the head, will also stagger them and leave them open for a Visceral Attack; this is to compensate for the fact that conventional gun parries don't work on some enemy types.
    Items: items like Blood Vials and QS Bullets have a limit in your current inventory of 20, but don't worry about missing out if you fill up: any extra consumables will be sent automatically to your storage box - when you next die or change area, your inventory will fill automatically.
    Stats: combat is largely reliant on 3 main stats - Endurance (stamina), Strength (hit harder/take less damage) and Vitality (max health). Skill (which also increases parry damage) is also important to varying degrees, depending on which weapons you choose: when you look at a weapon on the weapon screen, you can see what stat it scales to (-,E,D,C,B,A,S). I wouldn't worry too much about Bloodtinge/Arcane if I were you, as it's mainly for specialised builds and you won't get much use out of them until most of the way through the game. Stats have a few softcaps and a hardcap that it helps to be aware of: stats have diminishing returns, so past a certain point, you'll get very little growth. The first softcap for most stats are about 25, and it's usually not worth going above 40/50 unless you've got loads of extra blood echoes knocking around.
    Weapon Transformation (L1): when you get a new weapon, it's worth familiarising yourself with both of its forms and learning its strengths and limitations; the two-handed state is usually slower and more powerful, with more range and can be useful for taking on large groups.
    Backstabs: backstabs work a bit differently than in Dark Souls; instead of just pressing R1 behind an enemy, you have to fully charge an attack (R2) until you see a small glint of light on your weapon - this will stagger them and leave them open for a Visceral Attack.
    Armour: unless you get deep into the nitty-gritty of min-maxing, armour is largely cosmetic (there's a reason it's nicknamed FashionSouls); the resistance bonuses you get from different armours is usually negligible. But again, there are exceptions, especially with Fire/Arcane damage and Frenzy (but that's a late-game mechanic not worth worrying about at the start)
    Insight: the more Insight you have accumulated (it's the number in the top right, underneath your blood echoes) the more the world around you will change, in a number of ways that I won't spoil for you. Using a Madman's Knowledge item will grant you 1 insight. You can spend Insight to buy some good gear in the Hunter's Dream - go through the open door near Gehrman onto a little outcrop of rock and you'll find a messenger bath just like the one below. More gear becomes available as you progress.
    Chalice Dungeons: these optional areas are primarily used for farming loads of blood echoes and powerful gems for your weapons. Unlocking them and progressing all the way to the optional boss at the end of them (Queen Yharnam) can be tricky to figure out without a guide.
    Upgrading weapons: there aren't enough materials (blood shards etc) in a single playthrough to fully upgrade most of your weapons, so it's advisable to settle on the weapon you like best after you've experimented with them. Gems will alter your weapons with a huge variety of additional effects; some powerful gems come with downsides - it all depends on your playstyle.
    Runes: you won't be able to utilise Runes until you've defeated the Witches of Hemwick, so you don't need to worry about them for a while yet, but when you do, they (like gems) have a variety of effects, but these work directly on you, without downsides. Individual Runes come in several power levels so it's worth swapping them out when you get new ones.
    The Hunter's Dream: up in the room with Gehrman are several important tools - the storage box (looks like a coffin, near the front door), weapon upgrade stand (to the left of the storage box) and the Rune station (looks like a shrine, with the candelabra on it)
    That's all I can think of right now, except one final tip: enjoy your-dang-self and don't feel bummed out if you miss some things; there are so many optional sidequests and encounters that you probably won't complete on your first playthrough without using a guide. Apologies for the text dump 😄 Looking forward to more from you and Ray!

      Also, this bears mentioning : items that go beyond your carrying capacity (such as blood vials, bullets, pebbles, and others) are not lost when you pick them up : they are transferred to a chest in the Hunter's Dream. The chest does have a maximum capacity, and when it's reached you won't be able to pick up items anymore (the capacity is individualized for each item, so if for instance you are completely full on blood vials, you can still pick up bullets).

    2) “Show Me Your Shephard” or “The Five Sole Survivors”: Showing, describing and explaining your individually created character from one common game with a decent character generator. Mass Effect 2 or Fallout 4 for instance.
    Facial feature sculpting is indeed time-consuming. But it is also one of the things that truly set games apart from other forms of electronic entertainment.

    Hi Luke. I think my last Superchat got lost in the shuffle so if you're reading this back: you really don't need to grind or farm vials for the Cleric Beast. You don't even need the armour you got. It's a fairly easy early boss. All you have to do is get better with your viscerals which you were doing fine at near the end there. OR if you're struggling with the timing of the viscerals, spam molotovs until you run out, then don't lock on, L1 transform your weapon, stay under it and attack as much as you can. Remember you get health back if you keep attacking but also don't get greedy. Be aggressive but not foolish. Don't play it like Dark Souls.

  • @AsharOzborne95
    @AsharOzborne95 4 года назад +3

    Just a quick tip:
    The blood echoes you drop upon death ARE NOT automatically transferred to the nearest enemy.
    Rather, IF an enemy happens to walk over the bloodstain you left behind (which is created upon your death near where you died), THEN that enemy will have your blood echoes.
    Bosses cannot pick up your blood echoes.
    Edit: Just wanted to add, it was great fun watching you play this marvelous game Luke. Hope you'll continue doing so, but I'll understand if for whatever reason, you chose not to do so. Ok bye, see ya later Parry God.

I do have to say though that as you are someone who plays games for a living it astonished me that you didn't speak to a single NPC more than once until chat told you to, I thought exhausting all dialogue options was just gamer instinct at this point lmao

    A good first play, Luke. I didn't get that far until I had been playing for a few days between working. Makes me want to play one of my all time favorite games again. Spoilers, though, the Cleric Beast is an easy boss. You're in for a treat with many of the other wonderful and frustrating bosses. You'll do fine, though.
    Also: after you get hit, if you attack, you can regain some or all of your lost health. All can be regained by riposting/backstabbing/parrying the enemies.

    In the chat's attempt to help Luke, they largely made it worse. Fought an optional boss a bit earlier than he otherwise would have. Made him miss a key item for leveling up prior to the Cleric Beast, and he lost a lot of echoes fighting powerful enemies without armor. Not to mention Luke missed multiple messenger notes, item descriptions, and helpful dialogue, and sent him to difficult areas to gather items he could have just bought for far less hassle.
    It was pretty funny though :P

    We'll see if you discover this in the future (I'm watching the series now that I've finished the game), but the benefit of the blunderbuss is it's nearly 90 degree spread vs the Pistol's single line of fire. This makes the blunderbuss good for enemies who like to move around a lot as you don't have to be as accurate. The pistol balances itself by doing more damage in general but requiring more accuracy.
    I keep one of each: Ludwig's rifle for spread and Evelyn as my pistol. In the beginning, spread weapons were my jam but the Pistol became my go-to about 75% of the way through the game.

    Hey Luke! Doubt you'll see this, but here's a quick tip for you that absolutely saved me so much time. Don't grind enemies for blood vials. Buy them at the messenger bath in the Dream. They might seem a bit expensive at first, but honestly they're not that bad. What I used to do was spend all my echoes on vials before challenging a boss, or when I had leftover echoes after a level up. If you do this, you'll run out of vials only rarely, and if you do, you can simply beat a couple enemies that give a lot of echoes, and buy yourself some more vials in bulk. Hope this helps!
    Also you're doing much better than I was when I first played the game! Hope you'll play again!

    • @sonoftheviper__4304

      Dont do that, use echos for your leveling. Not vials. You will eventually get enough to never farm.

    • @FriendB
      @FriendB 4 года назад +1

      @@sonoftheviper__4304 Like I said, right before you fight a boss, or when you have spare echoes after a level up is when I bought vials. Not instead of leveling up, that'd be kind of a waste indeed.
      And killing enemies in hopes of maybe getting a blood vial felt inefficient to me, so if I needed vials, I just farmed enemies for echoes and then used those echoes to buy vials. Way faster, and less frustrating.
