Does anyone know a good way to grind Bloodvials? Because the one I use seems so boring...

I start from Central Yharnam and go to the left killing the enemy there (sometimes he drops 1 vial). Then I go where the two giants are and kill them (2 vials for each one you kill, so that's 4). Then I take the elevator and go to the other side of the bridge as quickly as I can. I beat the other giant (another 2 vials) and kill the rest of the lesser enemies (they drop vials sometimes too!). After that I go up the stairs and beat the 2 beasts before father gascoigne and get a couple more vials and... that's it. Then I use the boss room lamp and start the process again.

I can get about 10 or more per run but it still feels so slow...

My circuit is similar but after you kill the two giants instead I go into the house nearby, head upstairs and then kill the two beasts on the bridge towards the first boss.  Make my way through the remaining giant and then use the bridge bonfire to port out.  Killing the two beasts on the bridge is big because they're a pretty much guaranteed 6 vials for the two of them.  Usually takes me 5 minutes and I get about 12 vials if the three giants and the beasts all give vials which seem to be their most common drops.  

I totally forgot about the house!!!  I'll add that path to my circuit now! Thanks!

Seems like this is the best way to farm them... If only the loading times weren't so long...

There is also the executioner in the alley nearby. Drops 2-4 vials usually.

Don't really enjoy that it is hard to join random people...30 minutes trying and still not found someone...And NG+ is hard X_X.

I find this much harder than Dark Souls, took a break for a few days otherwise I know anger would get the best of me and would end up breaking something.

Never played any Souls before. But this game is really amazing. Was very frustrated in the beginning but then just learned to play and explore everywhere. I can make long runs without dying and get lots of echos, but bosses are though and the more special monsters can be really hard, but it all seems fair and balanced. If I am cautious and have patience its hard to die and get rewarded with great items while exploring and a full inventory. Everyone should give it a chance.

Anyway, I am currently going to the crazy laughing witches place after defeating Vicar Amelia. That graveyard between the cathedral and the witches place can be really difficult! So many shooters and a new kind of beast that is super fast and aggressive.

I've won 3 of my PvP battles but its weird I think I'm too strong for these guys. They barely do any damage and I finish the battle in like 1-2 minutes.

Just finished new game +++ and finally got the platinum trophy.

Does anyone know what bosses change the time of day? I know the first is Vicar (the dog like boss) and then Rom the Spider again but does any other boss change the time of day?

Oh wow just tested the Sinister Resonent Bell and invaded someone.... Did NOT EXPECT there to be two players :p. Pretty much just panicated and tried to just run away from them and probably ran around all of Yharnam until they got me and ofcourse celebrated in the death backgrounds.
I did however like that all of the enemies where on my side. :D


I hadn't given much thought to the pvp for bloodborne as I've been playing offline as I usually do for my first (second and third) playthrough, but I imagine the approach would have to be significantly different than in past souls games since there is no Havel turtle defense analogue that was so popular in this game.  While pve rewards aggressive play I imagine pvp would be a slightly slower pace (one on one at least) given how easy it is to stun&gun, as even pc controlled hunters can be a pain in the ass to fight given how trigger happy some are.
