You need to arrive at old yharnam passing by yahar'gul, under the prison where you have 2 "bag and tall mans" and some guys sleeping (to access yahar'gul you need to die to any "bag and tall man" so he can pick you up and you will travel to yahar'gul prison. Remember first of all to check the lamp above you and don't die before you take the lamp because you will not be able to travel back to yahar'gul again, once you defeat the Rom, and remember that the 2 tall guys are under you once you spawn, so just go through them and enter to the hole and defeat the Black Beast. Now open the door and go straight to Djura the minigun guy)

Advice: After upgrading your stats and/or you weapons, use the remaining Blood Echoes to buy Blood Vials and/or Silver Bullets. I did this and I only ran out of those two things for like, two to three times

One last suggestion; When going into a boss fight, turn down enemy sounds, and turn the music volume WAY up, and Cleric Beast's theme is only the beginning of this game's AMAZIMG music.

The modern flamethrower was first developed in Germany in the early 20th century. The first German flamethrower, the “Kleinflammenwerfer,” was introduced in 1911 and was used during World War I. But even before then in the 7th century something very simular to what is in the game your playing did exist. These devices were called “cheirosiphona” and consisted of hand-held pumps that shot bursts of Greek fire via a siphon-hose and a piston. Great gameplay and thanks for giving me an excuse to look this stuff up :)

Watching this man, who has played Elden Ring, fall in love with Bloodborne and view it as a completely new type of experience, is all the reason why we need a Bloodborne sequel. Some people talk about Bloodborne like it's a Souls game that can be replaced by a Dark Souls type of title, when the reality is that Bloodborne is similar in some elements but very different.

[@zprime2671]

Just a tip to avoid wasting time on collecting blood vial. Evertime you reach a boss, quit and upload save into cloud and when you run out of heals just download the save again and fight the boss.

[@matthewdupre4407]

alright, time to see what horrors are in store this time, and when the game will be getting to THAT point,

[@ZONECOMPLETE]

Let me actually explain Insight for you. Insight is a currency but also a world mechanic. You can spend insight at the second bath messenger shop in the dream, you need insight to summon/co-op, and you need at least 1 insight to be able to interact with the doll. As far as how it effects the world, think of insight as revealing the eldritch truth. Some enemies will become stronger with more insight. With enough insight you can see things in the world you wouldn't be able to normally or gain access to new dialog and lore you wouldn't. Having a lot of insight can definitely make the game a little harder sometimes but if you truly want to see everything that the game has to offer, stack your insight. Also just a quick note. If you see an orange lamp outside a window or door, that means there's an npc you can talk to. It seems like you've missed quite a few side quests.

[@sgtdipaolo]

@@TrueSquareFace There's no need to fight him, actually. if you get killed by a snatcher (one of those guys with the sacks) you get taken to a secret area, which has a boss that basically guards the back door into Old Yharnam (bring Bolt Defense gear). If you go from there, not killing anything, you can actually peacefully resolve things with Djura. and as long as you don't attack any of the beasts, he'll never shoot at you while you're in Old Yharnam ever again. edit: what i get for commenting before i watch full vid.

Technically a sneak attack if they are unaware. 15:05 Pog ambush 16:09 Pog health check (while not as important as strength, skill and bloodtinge a little more vigor is still useful) 16:23 If you want a headache. (Recommended to level up a few more times and upgrade your sword a bit) 16:50 It is indeed doable. 18:16 If you absolutely need supplies the cummmfpk dungeon can help with that. (that is how I use it) 18:56 Aggression is the name of this game, but take the time to learn how to "dance" with the bosses. 20:03 Beast bosses can be stunned by quite literally breaking their bones in each limb. 20:41 Indeed it does, but don't over extend and get greedy, the game will punish you. 22:20 Very rewarding indeed. 22:27 In all the Fromsoftware games there is a "dance" for each boss that feels so nice when you learn them. 24:44 Fantastic fight friend. Remember my friend, if you are strapped for heals, bullets or buffs it's generally accepted to use the cummmfpk chalice dungeon for them. It's only when you use it on your first playthrough to level up that some people frown upon it. BUT if you feel like you are to under leveled for some area's and don't want to grind them out, it is perfectly okay to use the dungeon for the levels you need. Always remember it's your playthrough not the viewers, some people are too critical sometimes. We will enjoy the content either way.

[@RealCutieMutie]

Is always lovely to see the moment someone just get it :3 Yeah, because you get health back right after you get hit, as long the attack doesn't kill you and your attack either kill the enemy or stagger it, just go for it and you'll get the health back and do damage at the same time. So yeah, be aggressive. Also, to anyone reading this that doesn't know much about BB, enemy limbs can break giving you a small stagger, also serrated weapons do extra damage on beasts which most of the bosses are. So if you're having problems with a boss, just grab the biggest serrated weapon you have (usually the saw spear), put it on fire, go to the boss leg and HAMMER the heavy attack. Then when the limb break and you get a stagger, just go to the next one and repeat.

Not sure if you're still playing the game but i have a few quick lil tips, its almost never helpful to dodge backwards unless its an aoe. Dodging through attacks usually puts you in a good position to counter attack. If its not the size of a building you can probably parry it and parrying makes this game super easy. And vials always heal a third (ish) of your health. I dont know if its just me but i also find that many bosses move at the same tempo as their boss theme ( but not in sync usually) so u can use that to your advantage. Hope you enjoy this game as much as i did

You do need to be aggressive with Darkbeast Paarl. If you play defensive, he'll charge himself with his electricity, making his attacks stronger. Aiming for his head and just staggering him will stop him from charging. Basically, playing safe with Darkbeast Paarl makes it harder for the player.
