Does the Forbidden Forest blood echo glitch still work after patch? Haven't played in awhile.

I just looked at a guide and read about all the "hidden" areas and it makes me realize that I have barely scratched the surface. This game is huge man. This is probably my best purchase, that isn't a remaster, that I've made in a long time. I really don't see any game competing with this for GOTY.

Never tried it. I've been using the Loft farm spot with the 3 pigs.

For now I would spawn at the Shadow of Yharman fight lap and fight back to the Forest lamp. 3 pigs and the big snakes you can rack up a good amount of souls in less than 5 mins.

I can't front this might be GOTY, best new IP i've played. I can't give a solid opinion however cuz idk if WiiU had some fire. But between Xbox and PS this best title. Hopefully Metal Gear will cause a GOTY debate.

Wii U hasn't dropped anything GOTY worthy in 2015. Obviously E3 is about 2 months away and there could be a game like Fallout 4 that releases this year which would probably take GOTY by default. MGS, The Witcher 3 are the only other "known" games that I can see competing with Bloodborne.

This is why I'm slightly mind blown by dudes who beat the game in 16 hours. I'm at 18 hours and I'm at the 4th boss.
Taking my sweet time b.
BB is just like DS, so it's competition is TW3.

How are you tracking your time?
If you beat this game in 16 hours you obviously used a guide the entire time, only played the main story and bosses. I've beaten 7 bosses in total (4 main story and 3 optional) and I still haven't discovered any of the hidden areas.

When you go to load game instead of continue, it shows you your playtime.
I tackle everything blind, then I rely on guides when I need help.
I just realized how important improving other stats like arcane is.
I've disregarded arcane/skill, now I'm level 40+.
There's several hidden areas. If you care more about beating the game, you could retrek in NG+.

My boy suggested killing everything first run so you can skip the optional bosses in NG+

What's the importance of arcane
I'm trying to knock out all bosses my first go round. I love this game but I'm not sure about doing NG+, this game is already hard as hell

we was just talking about Dark Souls 2 last night. I think I might trade in BL and Hardline and cop DkS2 as soon as it gets a price drop. I don't have the time to really run with NTers like I want and with DkS2 I could just play it the same way I'm playing Bloodborne and not have to rush. I figure by the time I finish DkS2, The Witcher 3 will have recieved a price drop too. No more $60 purchases

Arcane gives you better item drops and increases certain weapons elemental dmg.What's the importance of arcane

The item drop part is debunked. It only affects quantity, not quality. That is to say, if a mob has a 12% chance to drop something from it's loot table, it'll be increased with more Discovery. However, if it has a 10% chance to drop a Blood Stone Chunk and 90% to drop Twin Shards, those rates are not effected.

Can you increase discovery? I need blood chunks to upgrade my Ludwig Blade. Also what is that weapon I keep seeing in these YT vides, look like a mace with electricity

You'll start to find blood chunks as you keep getting farther through the game.
That weapon is called the Tonitrus, it's purchasable though the fountain or you can get one for free
Ludwig's sword > ...
