Even though he was called a rude outsider, Ben was still having a good time.
Just to be safe, Ben took the blood echoes from killing the boss and went back to the doll girl using the lantern.
Looking at the doll girl in front of him, Ben couldn't help but sigh.
Boss Lucas really understands us players.
Look at that beauty, amazing!
It's just a shame that this doll doesn't have many lines.
And compared to the fire keeper who is also a doll, she lacks a sense of life.
Also, the whole hunter's dream is different from the previous "Dark Souls", and no new NPCs will be added.
There's only an old man in a wheelchair and the doll girl who levels you up.
And this old man in a wheelchair is sometimes there and sometimes not. I don't know what he's doing running around even though he's in a wheelchair.
While sighing, Ben put his blood points into his health.
As an old player of Soulslike games, I won't talk about skills for now, but I have a very solid understanding of the theory.
In the early stages of the first playthrough, the other stats don't matter. Prioritize increasing health and stamina, and leave just enough to be able to use weapons.
With the doll girl's voice, Ben watched his health bar increase and felt a lot better.
Finally, he went from a small pipe to a big pipe.
Then Ben ran to the hunter's workshop on the second floor. He had been fighting those spear-wielding werewolves and picked up some shards in the sewer, so now his hunter axe could be upgraded to +1.
Next, he had more than five hundred blood echoes left. Ben went to the messengers in the middle, ready to exchange them all for oil urns.
But he found that there was a new weapon called the church hammer for sale, costing 3000 blood echoes.
But Ben didn't have any blood echoes left at this time, and he had just upgraded the hunter axe, so Ben wasn't very interested in this hammer.
After preparing everything, Ben teleported back to the lantern at the bridge again through the tombstone. He still had many places he hadn't had time to explore.
The door on the bridge could not be opened, obviously lacking some key item.
So Ben left back the way he came from before, but at the intersection, Ben kindly opened his notebook and left a message here.
"Use oil urns and firebombs well."
This is also a major feature of the Soulslike games, you can leave some messages on the ground for later players.
Of course, some are kind and some are mean.
And Ben was obviously not the type of person to leave mean messages, because he knew the desperate experience some ordinary players have when they first enter Soulslike games.
After all, not every player has grown into a battle-hardened old flame keeper like him.
No, in "Bloodborne" it should be called an old hunter.
Thinking of this, Ben smiled.
Having just defeated a boss, his confidence was now at MAX level.
He strolled around for a while, and through a ladder at the end of the sewer, Ben climbed up to a new area.
There was also a shortcut here. You could go back to the first level platform by elevator, which is where the two brick guys made him painfully lose his blood echoes before.
And on the bridge, there was a small patrol team from Yharnam.
"Wow! Is this a tribute to the fire dragon bridge from Dark Souls? Instead of breathing fire, they shoot fireballs?" Ben barely dodged a huge fireball with a roll, still shaken.
After spending some effort to take down the brick guy and two werewolves, Ben arrived at Oedon's tomb.
But the moment he stepped into Oedon's tomb, Ben's heart skipped a beat.
Because he found that he couldn't control his character, and a creepy background music suddenly started playing.
This atmosphere, is it a boss fight?
But where's the lantern?
In that instant, Ben panicked.
You have to know that he had already accumulated a huge fortune of over 6000 echoes from exploring along the way.
While Ben was feeling annoyed, the game's camera shifted to a corner of the graveyard.
There was a hunter holding a hunter axe, constantly swinging the axe to chop at a body.
With each swing of the axe, blood would spray out from the body parts.
Getting closer, you could vaguely see that the body under his feet was a werewolf's body, but not the large type. Its hands, feet, and body still roughly retained the appearance of a human.
'There are monsters everywhere in the streets...'
'You will become like them sooner or later...'
As if sensing that someone was coming, the hunter stopped swinging his axe.
Slowly turning around, he looked towards the entrance of the graveyard.
The ferocious face and those big yellow teeth directly scared Ben.
But when he saw it clearly, he showed a surprised expression.
"Hey! Isn't that the little girl's father, Father Gascoigne? This is a story boss fight!?"
"You and I worked together and fought side by side not long ago, but now you're doing this to me? You traitor!" Ben immediately recognized the boss in front of him as the NPC he had summoned before.
First let the player fight side by side with the NPC, and then let the player kill a former teammate, hitting the player's heart hard?
Is this another conspiracy by Boss Lucas?
Although this Father Gascoigne helped him before, but to be honest, Ben wouldn't feel any psychological pressure even if he killed him.
After all, this guy didn't say a word from beginning to end, and he was a bit ugly too.
"Come on! Let me see if your damage as a boss is still as touching as before." Ben switched to the axe and went to meet him.
And the most memorable thing about this boss for Ben was his embarrassing damage.
'Bang!'
But what Ben didn't expect was that the moment he took the initiative to meet him, Father Gascoigne directly raised his left hand and shot him.
The mercury bullet shot from the barrel came towards Ben, hitting him right in the face.
"Wow! Rude Yharnam people! So unfair to use a gun, and this damage, were you acting when I fought the cleric before!?"
Watching a third of his health bar disappear from a single shot, Ben was shocked. What kind of damage was that, and it was just shooting!?
