Bloodborne is a game that has been shrouded in mystery since its announcement. Many gamers are eager to find out what the game is all about, but some may be hesitant to use blood because of its graphic nature. The game takes place in a dark and gothic world where players take on the role of a character who is searching for answers. The graphics are definitely not for the faint of heart, with scenes that can be quite gruesome. However, many gamers feel that the blood and gore are integral to the game’s atmosphere and make it more immersive. Some people argue that using blood in video games can desensitize players from violence in real life, which could have negative consequences. Others feel that it’s up to each individual to decide whether or not they want to use blood in their games. Ultimately, it’s up to each gamer to decide if Bloodborne is worth playing based on their own personal preferences. ..
If you aren’t already heavily invested in Arcane, avoid A Call Beyond.
Its enormous Arcane requirement of 40 means that you’ll be dumping level after level into Arcane just to use it. In this situation you might want to save your levels and put them into stats better suited to your build.
But for something to consider:
Are you willing to put 40 points into Arcane to cast it?
And are you willing to give up a mass amount of Quicksilver Bullets too?
If yes, then you’re going to have a lot of fun with A Call Beyond.
What Does A Call Beyond Do?
A Call Beyond is a Hunter Tool, a special item that casts a spell or grants you a special ability.
In A Call Beyond’s case, using it summons a small star above your character’s head which then explodes, flinging damaging stardust around you.
The stardust springs out in all directions before homing in on the closest target, dealing massive damage to anything it hits.
Unfortunately, A Call Beyond has a long wind-up animation before this explosion happens. So you’ll have to be careful not to be interrupted when you’re using it.
This means that you’re unlikely to be using A Call Beyond for crowd control, and will probably only use it against strong individual enemies.
As well as being somewhat difficult to cast, A Call Beyond has another drawback – its Quicksilver Bullet cost.
Every Hunter Tool costs Quicksilver Bullets to activate, Bullets which you pay from the 20 that you carry with you each time you leave the Hunter’s Dream.
A Call Beyond costs 7 Bullets, so you’ll only be able to get two uses out of it before you have to restock.
Luckily you can boost this to three uses by picking up one of the Formless Oedon Runes, as these will increase your maximum Bullet capacity.
Although this only adds one extra use, having three cosmic grenades is much better than two, so be sure to seek out the Formless Oedon (4) Rune by the Cathedral Ward Lamp.
How To Get A Call Beyond
You can find A Call Beyond on a corpse in a late-game secret area, the Upper Cathedral Ward.
Accessing this area is a long process, as you’ll need to find a secret key to get inside.
