@Balta666 ok got it.
@AgentCooper I probably found the same safe house as you.
@Sebatrox I went near that yellow circle and couldn't find anything unfortunately. I'll try again tonight.

@NintendoByNature I don't know if Missions are dynamic between runs but if you want a small hint:

@Sebatrox I haven't but I will check it out. I do find myself running out of ammo quickly as well. I check all nooks and crannies too.

@GamingFan4Lyf sounds good. I'll search to see where I can enter in that yellow circle.

I have restored the sunlight.

@Sebatrox I'll give the stake launcher a try. Currently using a revolver sniper and shotgun.

@Sebatrox Stake guns are insane! I think the current one I have does 2400 damage. I save it for tougher enemies since I can only hold 9 Stakes at the moment. UV Guns are my main Vampire Killer [take that Simon Belmont].

@NintendoByNature Have you been doing the ammunition amount upgrades for your character?

@Sebatrox I am at a point where I can move on to the next area, but I am looking for Grave Locks. I found out I am locked out of one because it was only available during a mission.

@GamingFan4Lyf I believe I have been. I upgrade at the fire station whenever possible.

@GamingFan4Lyf They can be ridiculously overpowered, I disposed of the first underboss in one shot, almost laughable.

@Sebatrox This particular Grave Lock is located at:

I'm finally getting the hang of it. And I have to say, it's alot more fun than I expected. Especially after hearing the negative reviews and responses. I've locked down some safe houses, defeated some under bosses, and tried out some new weapons.

I do have a question though. Is the only way to progress to the next area through getting safe houses and doing the missions for each? Then once you've done all of them, I'm assuming you fight a big boss before going to the next area?

I just left off at the part where you find the rally, and I'm not equipped just yet. I need alot more ammo before heading in.

@NintendoByNature You don't have to do all of Safe houses.

That's the sad thing about the game.

Yes, right now there are some issues that need ironing out. But I noticed that even in the few reviews I have read that had negative things to say about graphics, controls, shoddy AI have all said they still have fun with the game (despite giving it a low review score). So....isn't the point of a video game to have fun?!

@GamingFan4Lyf ok good to know. I probably missed that somewhere in the beginning.

Yea man, the game is actually pretty fun. The gameplay loop is fairly enjoyable, and weapons feel really effective. Especially the shotgun.

@NintendoByNature You didn't miss anything because it doesn't tell you until you get to the proper point in the game - lol!

It just so happens that I did all the side stuff (I think anyways) before progressing main story and...well...already met what I needed to meet.

I still haven't transitioned areas, yet.

@ralphdibny sorry it took so long to reply. Certainly, no problem tagging me in anything whenever and wherever you want - hard to say I will have a clear docket to get involved, but by all means. Cheers!

@GamingFan4Lyf I did a 3rd underboss last night and I didn't see any markers where I could progress to a new area. The only marker is that big red 'X' but I wasn't able to actually go through the tunnel.

I just found another safe house. I'll do the mission and underboss tonight and see if I can progress after.

@NintendoByNature So...

@GamingFan4Lyf so in short..stake everyone and everything. Got it 😜

@NintendoByNature LOL! There you go.

Rip and Tear until it is done.

Wait...wrong game.
