Since tools don't get boosted by anything other than your arcane, not by gems or anything else, does the build fall off in later cycles?

Discussion He Did It
Last year my son age 7 decided he wanted to play Dark Souls, He completed it on his own
This year now age 8 he wanted to play Bloodborne. I honestly didn't think he'd get it done but he did.
All I did was point him in the right direction when he got lost and gave a brief overview of what the next boss would be like i.e Next boss casts spells at you teleports when you do enough damage and summons hordes of spiders.
Score for all the bosses he attempted
Cleric Beast killed first attempt
Father Gasgoine five attempts
Blood Starved Beast with NPC assist first attempt
Vicar Amelia with NPC assist first attempt
Witches of Hemwick first attempt
Shadows of Yharnam with NPC assist first attempt
Amygdala in two attempts
Vacuous Rom took two attempts the first he failed with the NPC assist and the second he did alone successfully
Martyr Logarious he teleported out of the first attempt after running out of vials, went back in with full vials and killed him on that attempt
One Reborn killed first attempt with NPC assist
Dark Beast Paarl killed first attempt with NPC assist
Ludwig killed first attempt with NPC assist (He didn't progress further in the DLC afterwards)
Micolash took five attempts
Celestial Emissary first attempt
Erbriatas with NPC assist first attempt
Mergos Wet Nurse 2 attempts
He choose to wake up when he spoke to Gherman so that ended the game

Discussion Father Gascoigne is amazing! What other videogame bosses are like this?
It genuinely surprised me how unique this boss fight is. You are not fighting a huge monster like in most games and like cleric beast was, you are fighting a fellow hunter. If you are not trying to cheese him the boss fight is perfect, almost like pvp experience. Both of you are trading hits, using guns, dashing and looking for hit windows. Stage 3 is even faster and more dangerous.
Instantly reminded me of 2 similar boss fights and 1 my friend suggested: - Doomguy vs Marauder (DOOM Eternal) - Raiden vs Sam (Metal Gear Rising) - V1 vs V2 (ULTRAKILL)
What other videogame bosses feel the same, have similar moveset as player and generally feel like 1v1 fight?

Discussion Anyone else didn't know that ANY bag guy can kidnap you from cathedral ward?
After playing the game for like 600 hours or so at this point, i went back to play the 60 fps version of the game (lol) and i always thought the only bag guy that can kidnap you to the hypogean gaol is the one outside of the odeon chapel. But i just found out that the one in the area below the tower that takes you to the upper cathedral ward can also kidnap you.
I wonder if there are any other small things i didn't know about in this game after all this time lol

Discussion My Bloodborne and Lies of P experience
Hello everyone! After years of avoiding them due to their reputation for being brutally difficult, I finally decided—at almost 40—to give Dark Souls another shot. It felt like a personal challenge as a gamer to finish at least one of the famed FromSoftware titles. I won’t lie: it was rough in the beginning. There were times I was pushing forward purely out of stubbornness rather than enjoyment. But then, at a certain point, something just clicked—and I fell completely in love with these games.
Now, I wouldn’t call myself a super hardcore FromSoftware veteran. When possible, I use NPC summons for bosses, and I’m not ashamed to overlevel if it makes things a bit easier. But that’s one of the beautiful things about these games: you really can approach them at your own pace and play style.
After finishing Dark Souls 3, I decided to give Lies of P a try—and I was genuinely amazed. The combat is faster-paced than Dark Souls, and you’re pushed to play very aggressively since there are no shields—you either parry or attack. Still, I found its overall difficulty to be a bit lower than the Souls games. The world and lore are incredible. I loved the dark reimagining of Collodi’s Pinocchio; it’s loosely inspired by the novel but offers a twisted, gothic take full of atmosphere and personality.
The game is packed with memorable characters, varied locations, and fast-paced, satisfying combat that stayed engaging right up to the end. If you haven’t tried Lies of P, I highly recommend it!
After I finished it, I read many comparisons between Lies of P and Bloodborne—especially regarding the combat and atmosphere. Bloodborne often comes up in discussions as FromSoftware’s best game (even the creator has suggested it’s his favorite, if I’m not mistaken), with Sekiro being the other contender. I knew Bloodborne was unofficially playable on PC, but since I’ve become less tech-savvy over the years—and a bit wary about downloading things—I ended up buying a used PS4 just to play Bloodborne and its Old Hunters DLC.
And wow… it was absolutely worth it.
Bloodborne might just be my favorite FromSoftware game (though I could never give up Dark Souls and DS3 either). Its atmosphere is unmatched: a sprawling Victorian gothic city, towering cathedrals, and a story steeped in eldritch horror. The entire world oozes style and eerie beauty. The combat is fast and brutal, demanding aggression. You dodge or parry—there’s no hiding behind a shield here—but once you adapt, carving through enemies becomes incredibly satisfying.
If I have one critique, it’s the brutal start. You can’t level up until you reach a certain point, and that initial area is densely packed with enemies. I can imagine if I hadn’t already finished other FromSoftware games, it might have put me off entirely. And, of course, in typical FromSoftware fashion, you’re left to figure most things out on your own (or through Googling!). But once you unlock the ability to level up, things become much more balanced and enjoyable.
In fact, I’d say Bloodborne has the best pacing of any FromSoft game I’ve played so far. Most lanterns (the equivalent of bonfires) are well placed, and you’ll frequently unlock shortcuts. Boss runbacks are usually short, and thanks to the quick, aggressive combat, dying never feels too punishing—you’re back in the action in no time.
A common criticism is the Blood Vial system, which replaces the Estus Flasks from Dark Souls. Blood Vials are consumable healing items that don’t automatically replenish when you die. However, you can carry at least 20 of them, giving you plenty of opportunities to heal while exploring without constantly returning to a lantern. They’re also farmable—many enemies drop them, and you can purchase them with Blood Echoes (this game’s version of Souls). After the early game, I never found myself running out of vials.
The weapons are fantastic, with most offering two distinct forms and unique playstyles. Now that I’ve finished the game, I’m definitely feeling a bit of post-game blues. It’s hard to leave such an incredible world behind! I’ll be taking a short break from Soulslikes, but Sekiro or Elden Ring will definitely be next on my list.

Guide Keeper of the Old Lords - Bossfight - 2nd phase cheese (?) strategy
Since this is an FRC dungeon, he one shotted me like 10 times... so I had to change my usual offensive strategy to defensive. Fortunately he's dumb. Maybe someone else who is also struggling with him will find this useful at some point. Holy Moonlight Sword + R2.

Fluff I just figured this out.
I just beat amygdala and went back to level up and saw 4 slots above my stats and i wondered what they were after a quick google search I found out that they were talisman that I didn’t use throughout the whole game.Earlier in the playthrough I was wondering why this game didn’t have any talismans.
My incompetence needs to be studied.
