There are a couple of them that you can get to. There might even be three, I think. It's getting confusing. I'm trying to play completely without a guide and it's already to the point where I need to write down the places I need to go back to.

Edit: actually I'm using the blunderbuss so not sure if the pistol is as effective.
The pistol works great for parry/riposte. I don't know if there's a difference between guns in that regard at all.

Weapon spoiler: I found
Spoiler:
a cannon. It uses 10 bullets per shot.
This game...

On the 2nd boss.

Spoiler:
Got sick of getting killed by those dog-like monsters (the villagers are burning their dad after a successful w/v vote) at the top of the stairs. It wasn't so much that they suck as it just takes me forever to get back to them by picking the patrols apart one at a time. Decided to head down into the sewers and see where it goes. But before i get there, epic moment.


Epic Moment:
Spoiler:
I decided not to kill the big guy that scarily bangs on door because he's not worth it for his paltry souls and ****ty loot. I kill the patrol and dogs up the stairs. I decide it's a good time to take a drink of water and I'm sitting there with just my right hand on the controller while I'm drinking water with my left. Suddenly, i hear a big scary footfalls/groaning sound that's coming right at me! My right thumb just happens to be on the O button and I panic press it to perform a perfectly timed backstep while the big guy goes flying by with an attack that he probably thought was gonna cave-in the side of my head. My left hand drops the glass of water onto my lap/couch and grabs the controller to perform a flawless victory over a pretty tough enemy. My heart is racing, my couch is soaked, and my shorts definitely only have water and not urine on them. Fromsoft.

Weapon spoiler

We are close to the same pace as I just found this as well.

Found boss
Spoiler:
Darkbeast Paarl
, haven't beaten yet tho. Think I'm just going to explore/farm that area for a while since the fight itself isn't far at all from the lamp.

Ok, so it looks like the new direction I went has at least 1 new boss (haven't tried fighting it yet) and 1 new area and 1 new giant ball of light that

Spoiler:
INSTA KILLS ME AND SAYS "FRENZY" WHAT THE ****


, so that's good. Although it's a little irritating how far everything is from my current lamp. I guess given the pattern so far, I'll get a closer lamp if I kill that boss.

Time for sleep, aka hours that I won't be playing this game.

Awkward decision to make today...start playing Bloodborne that arrives today, or watch NCAA basketball tonight...what to do, what to do

I've been trying to not read too much in the thread, thank you guys for putting in spoilers and not just posting answers on everything.

This game. It's a little too groundhog day. Going shopping respawns everything? WTF? Made my farthest advance with the sawblade thingy and blunderbuss and I hate them both. Did manage to kill the beast in the waiting room, no such luck with the guy by the lever. How far do you have to get before you can start upgrading weapons?

I'm not sure what "beast in the waiting room" or "guy by the lever" are...

But for upgrades, you'll need some items that you'll start coming across, which are

Spoiler:
blood stone shards, and then a tool for the workshop so you can upgrade stuff there

Those are the first 2 bad guys you come across after you wake up. I've found some shards but no tools or anything else that isn't a consumable of one kind or another. Suppose I'll need to check out some guides and see what I'm not smashing or looking in that I should be.

It's happened in two places to me (spoilers for anyone who has found <4 bosses yet I think):

Spoiler:
Cathedral Ward in round area right outside the lamp, and wherever the long path takes you if you go right at the tippy top of cathedral ward and go all the way in that direction

Super stuck for first time. Forbidden woods spoilers [posting names of locations without spoilers is good with everything, right? If not I will not do so in the future]:

Spoiler:
WHERE THE **** THE BOSS IS? More specifically, how do I unlock the shortcut right by the lamp? I've unlocked two or three in the area and none of them are it. Jfkajfka;jfkajfaklfjkalf

I spent about 2 hours making my character and trying to decide which skills to start with then I abandoned the contract and went to bed. I'm about to give this another shot. Such a frustrating game.

My advice would be not worry about your starting stats too much. You don't have to decide which way you really want your character to go until you start leveling up.

Spoiler:
In the building where you got the cannon, go to the bottom and go outside. Go across the bridge and one of the buildings has an elevator in it that goes up to open the door by the lamp.

Spoiler:
No. I still haven't figured out where that one goes. After you kill the guy at the bottom of the building, you go outside and you should find another elevator in a little shack out there. I can't remember exactly where it was, but it's not too far from the big building.

I found a video. Start at 1:50 or so.

Finally beat the giants to get to the elevator and the switch wouldn't work. Did get to level up though. Finally not reflexively trying to reload my pistol after each shot and throwing **** all over...

Few hours in and found a shortcut to the elevator. Found a saw so have that plus my initial cane. Also found some hunter gear. I've been all over this damn city and I think I got lucky with finding this shortcut to whatever the elevators go to which I am going to look into now gl to me lol

Well &$@@ me, finally made it to 1st boss getting him to go warewolf is easy but then he just leaps on me (I get knocked down), and he kills me right away... 5x in a row

They can be done in either order but that is the second boss most people tend to find.
BLOODBORNE Quote

Calling it a night. Solid first session even though I still feel lucky finding that shortcut. Died a couple of times at the first boss but think I can beat him, especially since I've only leveled up like 3 times so I could farm if I had to.
