Attack its rear, keep circling (easier to do if you unlock targetting for that), dodge lasers (easy), watch out for side swipes later and lure her back out to middle if she ends up pressed against a wall. When at a distance she will spew frenzy infecting blood but, like the lasers, it's easy to dodge.


Damage reduction runes/gear helps too. Oh and, watch out for the ground pounding head-butts.

It's just the laser attack that keeps getting me, and it's another boss fight where the camera is the biggest threat :lol:


Lasers are easy to avoid if you aren't near/under her, and the tell that she's about to fire them is an easy to one to spot and gives you time to back off a bit.

I found the camera to be fine for the fight if I didn't stay locked on at all times and didn't fight her in corners.

I think she's one of the hardest hitting bosses in the game; I had a total of 800-900 HP and forgot to equip damage reduction runes. I was down by about 10-20% health when one of her early side swipe attacks one shotted me. :lol:

You really have to dodge out into the courtyard and lure the enemies that are in the left corner back into the room to dispense with. Once they're gone then you can run into the far left corner and the machine gun can't hit you there. I then worked around the corner to lure the hunter and any other enemies into that area.

I managed Logarius on my second try. The first fight was chaos, at first I thought he was gonna be really easy as he wasn't really fighting back but then he suddenly kicked it up a gear and wiped the floor with me. The second fight I was ready for him, parry his melee attacks, hide from the skulls, shoot the sword in the ground and most importantly two hand charge attack plus visceral from behind when he's charging up and he doesn't get the buff which makes him harder.

Yeah, likewise. I just reached there last night. Once you've beaten the wee jumpy things and the hooded buggers, there's a small broken bridge type thing that you can drop down. I left the hunter alone and went up the ladder to see who'd been doing all the shooting. I ignored the note saying 'Beware of man' so got a nasty surprise when I reached the top :dread:

Won't be going back there in a hurry!

He can to attack me and rolled off the ladder side to his death when I went up there, I didn't even get a hit on him.

I ended up cracking and buying a PS4 with this and The Last of Us last week - been absolutely loving it so far.

The amount of notes people leave which are complete garbage is really infuriating though. I believed some note saying there was a hidden path in the Cathedral district which just resulted in me plummeting to my death :fp: (in my defence it had loads of appraisals)

As of April 5 Bloodborne sold through (meaning sold to customers) over 1m copies. Retail and download.

Is that good?

I'm still in the unseen village...killed all the coffin plebs, currently being sniped by a banana split on a bridge.

Fabian Delph is a banana split.

Over 1m in 13 days and on a single platform. Yup. That's good.

Anyone else shaking after boss fights? I get so pumped up that my fingers twitch for about 5 mins afterwards :shifty:

strawberry floating hell I love this game, really don't want it to end, but it feels like I may be in the last quarter of the game.

Good job I have dark souls 2 on ps4 to go straight in to then :datass:

The Mrs watched me take on the last hunter in the unseen village last night and was horrified at the face I was making :lol: I tried to explain it was really tough but all that came out was a series of grunts punctuated by me saying FFFUUUCK every time I took a hit.

Sony are aiming to release patch which shortens load times (and fixes easy bosses bug) by the end of the month.

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2015/04/ ... rformance/

They're also suggesting online feature problems could be down to NAT type. NAT 3 being the issue. (I'm on NAT 2 and I couldn't get anyone to join me. So, yeah.)

The one I swore at the tv and shook my fist was BSB. Even yelled the words, take that you banana split! Had to go and have a lie down.

I always get a bit intense with boss fights in this game, the Souls games too for that matter. I usually turn the air a little blue with some tactical F and C bombs. When I killed Gehrman for the first time after several failed attempts I proudly proclaimed, "Stick that up your jacksy you stupid strawberry floating banana split". :D
