Gr4de_04 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Are there any downsides to using co-op? A friend of mine offered to help me get trough the game. and although i like a challenge we barely ever get the chance to do co-op games with eachother. So i wanna do my initial playtrough with him. Ive only just begun and beated the cleric beast. I was just wondering if multiplayer has any downsides. I could imagine bloodechoes being splitted therefore stalling character progression and some trophies. Any insights would be helpfull. ps: im completely new to this. i have never played dark souls either. closest thing to this game that ive played is Let it Die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platisfaction Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Well, the only real 'downside' is that you might get invaded while summoning a coop partner. Saltyie and me compiled an FAQ in our Bloodborne guide; check it out, might be helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah im not asking how Online play works. im asking if there are any downsides. that section only describes the bells and stuff. I just want to know if any trophies will be significantly harder or if i gain less blood echoes or something. Sorry if that wasn't clear in my initial question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will gain the same about of blood echos and no trophies are harder to obtain or anything. Sorry that I did not make this clearer in my first post.

Tounavis Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Yes the guide is greatly detailed and the game is hard without one.Thank you.So this means BB gets easier if you coop? Like right now I was struggling to make it to the 1st boss.Then i farmed echoes and lvled up my character to the most i could.Now all enemies are easy to kill my weapon axe is 5+.I rarely use parry mechanism but down most enemies and bosses easily with hack and slash. Seriously gg I just reached the woods with the 3 bosses but dammit I got to go to work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyphron_ Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Another downside might be that if you accidentally match up with a super powered Hunter, you might not see much of the boss fight at all. But if you go in with a friend who rolls a new character, that might not be a problem. But you might miss a big portion of the fun that makes up a Souls game: getting owned at first, learning enemies behaviour and eventually overcoming them, which yields a lot of satisfaction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the whole persistence pays off part of hard to beat games but personally, i find this unappealing. It's more about the actual gameplay for me than constantly being beaten down wasting hours upon hours. I play games to enjoy the gameplay and story. Not to torture my self or waste time.

Golden Devil Gamer Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Honestly, co-op makes things way easier. Considering how the bosses choose to attack one person at a time, one person can be used as a distraction, while another chips off the boss' health. Solo is where the real fun and tension comes from. And tbh, Bloodborne is quite an easy game once you get familiar with your weapon and boss patterns. I never played the other Souls games, so I don't know how Bloodborne's difficulty is in comparison to others. Try opting for coop only after you think that a boss is too hard to beat solo. The hardest boss for me where probably Martyr Logarius since his aerial attack really screwed up my lock-on camera, lol. Ebrietas was pretty hard until I realized that staying on its back allows you to avoid most of its attacks, minus the laser ones.
