Hi everybody! This is my first From Software game, and my first souls-like. I’m on day three and just finished Central Yharnam thanks to some helpful walk through.

My question is: do I need a PlayStation subscription to play online mode? I played the last two days in online mode no issue, and I don’t have a subscription. But today it forced me into offline. I really like the notes and don’t want a subscription at this time.

I remember that in dark souls after like level 40 you get no bonus in scaling for each level up, I wonder if that's the same in bloodborne and what level it is

For speedunning btw

Church pick or saw spear? Or is there an even better options?

I recently decided to bite the bullet and finally give Bloodborne a shot. It's my first soulsborne game, and I didn't ever think it'd be the kind of thing I'd enjoy. Hard video games were never my thing growing, so I'd always stayed away from them. But last year, I started playing Hollow Knight, and I saw that a lot of the online creators who made HK content also talked about Bloodborne very positively. So after a few months of indecisively dragging my feet, I bought it. I'm already thinking it's one of the best decisions I've ever made related gaming.

I had a lot of trouble early on in the first area. The crowd around the funeral pyre in Central Yharnam was giving me a lot of trouble in my first couple of hours. But after finally clearing them out, I made some progress, unlocked some shortcuts, found the hunter set, got some insight and leveled up, then made my way over to the Cleric Beast.

I had seen some clips of people fighting it, so I knew roughly what to expect, but when it left down from thar ledge I'll admit that I freaked out a little. On my first attempt, I only lasted about 30 seconds. It caught me off guard how large he actually was and how quickly he moved (I died to the attack where he launches into the air and then pounces). But after a little bit of research, I found out that molotovs work well against him. So I went back, used some of those, and on my second attempt I kicked his ass! The euphoric feeling I got when I saw "prey slaughtered" on my screen was incredible. I know the game to come is probably going to be much harder, but I am very excited for it now.

Hey all,

I'm going through another run or two of Bloodborne and was curious if there's a way to tell how many blood echoes you need for the next level? Every single Souls game has this and I feel like it's missing in Bloodborne. The only way is to travel back to the Hunter's Dream and talk to the doll to find out.

I just finished Lies of P again, and it that game there are so many QoL improvements over the From Soft games it's incredible. Of course, it's a modern game and they just took everything that people complained about over the years and crammed it in there. For instanace, if you don't have enough Ergo for something, you can click the left stick and spend ergo crystals so you don't have to exit out, and open your inventory.

Is there any place in Bloodborne that has this information? Even Demon's Souls did FFS.

So like I’m on my first play through of blood borne and just beat the boss at the church of the good chalice and while exploring trying to find where to go next… I got killed by this guy and sent to some kind of prison idk wtf happened but it’s somewhere called the hyphen Goal two graves ahead of where I was and battled some boss that was like a lightning beast I am very confused did I do something wrong or something right?????

Simple query! I'm doing a 50 Arcane / 25 Strength build, and just curious what weapon/weapons to use? I've heard the HMLS isn't actually a brilliant arcane weapon, but would the 25 str balance this? Will the HMLS still gain physical damage untransformed with higher arcane?

If not, what would you Hunters and Tomb Prospectors advise to use for a 25 strength / 50 arcane build? Converted LHB/Saw cleaver?

I'm trying to get the Sinister Lower Pthumeru Root Chalice, but I can't find online how to get to fourth level

i just beat Ludwig in 7 attempts and I wasn't really able to experience his second phase, any way I could fight him again or no?

Hey gang. Im really stuck on Ludwig. About lvl 90. He just keeps kicking my ass. I booked it to him to do a moonlight greatsword run.

I tried for over 8 hours yesterday. Got to the 2nd phase 3 times.

Would anyone be able to help me around 530 EST wheb I get home from work?
