how does coop work if I would want to summon you or a specific person? I summoned random people, I didn’t check. Is there a password system like in DS3?

There is a password system, yeah.
Oh man, PS Remote Play has an update, and now I can’t connect to the PS4 anymore. I’ll to go to the actual PS4 when the TV is free late tonight, and find a manual link number to put into the Remote Play app again. This sucks. I want to play Bloodborne right now damn it.
@Brad_Grenz, I blame you for this.
You probably need to update your PS4.
Didn’t we just have an update yesterday (or was it the day before?). It was definitely within the last two or three days.
That was trophy changes, the OS update was today.
I did a lot of exploration of the Forbidden Woods last night after I updated the PS4. Even now, years later, despite this being my favorite area of the game, I’m still discovering new nooks and crannies that I’ve never discovered before in this area. Just amazing. It’s like a layered design, you’ve got your main central path, and then you’ve got paths along the side of that, and then crisscrossing paths that weave and intersect around them.
I got my ass kicked by the Shadow of Yarnham trio though. 50,000+ blood echoes lost to the void.
I’ll have to think about how to handle 3 people at once. I might have to switch away from the Whirligig Saw, even though I have that at +7 now. Or at least switch to the mace and shotgun, or mace and cannon.

Back on the horse, completed the back door run to Amelia, but took a detour before doing her to Hemwick Charnel Lane because I Know What Happens There at Night. Got pretty much all the way through. I’ll run to the Witch tomorrow and hopefully co-op it up with her, then probably go back and do Amelia, too. And then to the Hunter’s Nightmare! Not to see the sights, mind you, just to grab my Beast Cutter and if I really get my shit together the constable’s outfit to complete my ensemble for probably the rest of the game. Unless I can’t resist the Harrowed set and Amygdala arm later, but those will be much later.
Shadows of Yahrnum down, Rom down. Tomorrow: Unseen village!
Btw, I did go back to where I beat the BSB and couldn’t find any other exits down there. I’m glad I bought the key! :)
The trio were actually pretty easy when I switched to a fast weapon. Can’t let a lumbering two handed weapon slow you down in that fight, just like I speculated upthread.

It’s not an exit down there. It’s the side door in Oedon, which I think also opens when night falls. Beating the BSB just opens it early and lets you get into the cathedral without the badge.
Also, what the hell are you wearing. You look terrifying.
Heh, yeah, I got frenzied to death from some new enemies, so I looked through my inventory for the best anti-Frenzy defense, and kept playing. When I accidentally swung the camera around to see my character I had to take that screenshot because it turns out I’m a nightmare.
You know, I kind of half-heartedly joined you on this Halloween playthrough Kolbex, but I gotta admit, this was a great idea. I can’t wait to go home and play some more.
You’re going to take down Amelia tonight? @Kolbex?
You’re going to take down Amelia this weekend @newbrof?
The way I see it, I have 3 main choices on where to go next.
- The guys that jail you, that area I could explore further.
- Elsewhere in the Unseen Village where I ended up after Rom
- I could explore the expansion pack area again, and see if it’s any easier now that I’m stronger.
And there’s always the possibility of further exploring the Nightmare Frontier, but I’m not ready for that.
There’s also the possibility of doing one more run through the Forbidden Woods, try to clean all the enemies in one run, gathering blood echoes and making my character stronger. Because god knows, no matter how strong I become, I won’t be strong enough to have an easy time in the expansion or in the Nightmare areas.

Yeah, I’m definitely gonna do Amelia tonight, gonna log on when I get back from class, which ought to be about 11pm eastern.

Uuuuuuuugh, network problems again. They have yet to even acknowledge it, so the chances they fix it are quite low.
Edit: I was able to get on after a couple hours, but I couldn’t find anybody to co-op with at the Witch, either giving or taking. :(

Amelia down with help of NPC summon Heriett. It was too easy, now I feel I’ve cheesed the boss. Is it an optional boss? I got a medal, no door or new exit …
Kolbex
1681
Nope, not optional. Touch the skull. Then down the stairs and off to the right (I think) through the graveyard there will be a door down some stairs if I remember right.
Edit: more network woes today! I wonder if it will just be every weekend from now on. Really putting a damper on things.

I haven’t seen any stairs… went into the sniper woods instead. Poison daggers were very useful there. I wish I knew where I had them from. Cleared the woods and the undead settlement afterwards, really Dark Souls 3 vibes. I made it to a boss area without a fog door. Witch of Hemwick. I had made 30,000 blood echoes, so I teleported back to the hunters dream.
A new area is really something, you never know where you are going to die ;)
Where can I equip runes? I suppose it comes later, I collected maybe 4 or 5 runes now.
I will look for the stairs later… need to paint some minis now.
