Hey guys. You might have seen my thread the other week about why I think the Order is garbage. If not I'm not going to post it here because I'm lazy. 

Anyway, I was excited to send the Order back to gamefly so I could start Blood borne. 

Being my very first souls game (i know don't judge me though) I was expecting a very challenging and rewarding experience. 

So far, I am having a blast. Not sure how to check my playtime but I'm somewhere around 10-12 hours. Level 25 with some decent stats. Still learning a lot. 

I hadn't been too frustrated with it, most of my deaths have been deserved. I either didn't know how the enemy fought or I did and got too cocky. 

Until I got to Old Yharnam. This place blows. 

***POSSIBLE SPOILER***

In case you haven't played, in this section of the game there is a mini boss on top of building that rains down with a gatling gun whenever you're out in the open. Of course enemies down with you will attack you while you're getting annoyed and trying to hide from the gun. 

Only way to stop it is to go up there and kill him. Only he's the hardest enemy I've faced yet. Very frustrating battling him with his constant dodging and shotgun that sprays wide. 

Died 6 times to him. One after another. 

I know I should just level up but that gun annoys me so much. 

Anybody else pissed off by this guy???

I'm actually contemplating quitting. Its that annoying. Convince me to stick with it 😊

Just get him to the edge and he`ll fall off...

You need to knock him off the building or sneak up from another location and talk to him; either way, you don't have to beat him to continue the game. He's optional.

I just hooked up this game & ready some kickass!!

... Haha he is actually stupidly easy, of course fighting him properly can be a different story and especially for somebody new. I got lucky and had him fall off the very first time I fought him.

Like others said, just knock him from the edge. But if you can't manage to do this, just run past the tower... he won't be shooting you anymore. Old Yharnam is also a 100% optional area (so you can always come back later when stronger and easily get rid of him).

lol, the first time I faced him, in matter of seconds he fell off the edge without even touching him. I was like "that's it?"

git gud

dude he is super hard to kill because you are not supposed to actually kill him (at least not in a "normal" way), you are supposed to throw him off the tower.

do this: get on the ladder and sprint up when you get to the top DONT STOP, and get up and dash towards him and hit him a couple of times and he will fall off, but remember you must be very quick and get to him before he gets away from the gatling gun.

It's hard for me to believe anyone has that much trouble with him since his ai is so dumb he constantly goes flying off the ledge without any pressure.
