LAURENCE, The First Vicar | Bloodborne First Playthrough | Pt. 16 

Places like cummfpk have fixed the game for me. While one can argue that being anxious about resources is part of the game, I think it's mostly a bad implemented idea. And if farming is not that fun, being stuck in an area with no resources is neither, so you always end up farming at a certain point. Cummfpk is just a nice place to farm quickly, and even offline there are some areas in late dungeons where I used to make like 300k bloody echoes in 10 minutes, so it's not actually that cheaty as the legend says. Anyway this is what happens at the entrance to the cummfpk: Hunter Olek majestically spawns on a swinging blade. The game, at a certain distance, would load first the health bar and the hit box, then, only if you get closer, the model too. So you are standing close enough for the hit box to spawn, but not enough for Olek's model to spawn, fall, or react, as his box gets repeatedly hit by the blade until he dies. If you do just one or a few more steps further, he'll spawn and gets displaced out of the hitbox as soon as he gets hit, preventing him from dying. Some advanced enemies in deep dungeons do give you that amount of echoes, though normally they are not this easy to defeat. The real cheat of Bloodborne can be done in the Living Failures boss fight. There's a trick to defeat them which gives you an insane amount of echoes at their death. 00:30:25 You have heard that name from Micolash, during his boss fight. If you are missing him, here is his full prayer again: "Ahh, Kos, or some say Kosm... Do you hear our prayers? As you once did for the vacuous Rom, grant us eyes, grant us eyes. Plant eyes on our brains, to cleanse our beastly idiocy. The grand lake of mud, hidden now, from sight. The cosmos, of course!" 00:31:00 small trivia: that's the shape of the Hunter Rune. You often see bodies hanging like this in chalice dungeons, a common practice in blood rituals. It became a symbol of the hunt, and finding hunters hanging like this in this nightmare might represent the curse of the blood-drunk hunters entering the nightmare. Leveling health in this game is much more useful than in the other soul games, because blood vials here heal in percentage (40% of your maximum HP), so having a long health bar means having more powerful vials, and since you can carry 20 this really makes the difference: ∆HP + 20×0.4×∆HP = 9∆HP, so the leveling +∆HP actually increases the HPs you are carrying of nine times the amount of HP added by the level. 10.6∆HP with 24 vials. 12.6∆HP with 29 vials (the maximum amount). This allows you to resist long explorations and long fights, but you still get oneshotted (of course you still can't shoot them all at once in your body). Personally my favourite stat in soul games is endurance (I love doing long combos attacking and dodging nonstop).

My stamina is not great which mean a Building issue !!! My Stamina when facing Laurence was double yours !!! Neglecting Aspect of Leveling is going to make things way harder in Bloodborne !!! Bloodborne ain't Dark Souls nor Demon's Souls
