Just finished Bloodborne. I think that this is my favorite Soulsborne game so far, even over DaS3 (which is almost as good IMO). Can we have a BB thread?

>>335865101
I got this game only cause it wouldn't feel right play Dark souls 3 first. I love it so far but the blood starved beast is kicking my ass on the 2nd phase. Is the kirkhammer not effective on it or what?
>>335866918
just learn to stagger it
shoot when it's bracing for certain attacks then you can close in and kick its ass

Hypaogean Gaol for the first time is the most awestruck i'v ever been by a video game. That music mixed with the darkness and disorientation of waking up here after being killed by the kidnapper is just transcendent. Climbing the spiral staircase to find the child in the mensis cage with the amygdala statue looming over was unlike anything else.

>>335867625
Oh good hunter, can we keep her?
>>335867771
why does nobody mention hail the nightmare when talking about music from the souls games. It is the single greatest musical moment in the series.
Okay let's say that the patent for loading minigames never happened.
What would you envision as minigames during those endless loading times?
Orphan.
Ludwig's/Gehrman's.
Yahargul/Fishing Hamlet.
Simon's Bowblade/Threaded Cane.

It's pretty damn polished if a little short, I think Sony funding and help from Japan Studio really cemented it
Plus the music being made by a real orchestra rather than synthetically is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHIkUzmNmc0

>>335868473
You have to be far more aggressive than you feel comfortable with, learn what can be parried in his first phase. In his second phase backstabs don't work I'm almost certain and although he CAN be parried I would not advise you try it. Play unlocked in his second phase and claw your controller so you have your thumb on the stick to work the camera, finger to sprint (you'll need it) and fore finger to work the R1.
If you play unlocked in the second phase he loses a big advantage over you and fewer attacks are as dangerous.
>>335868436

>>335868681
>that lantern in Lower Loran before Abhorrent Beast where spiders will rape your afk-ass
>>335868681
I've had worse in an FRC Ihyll where the entire layer is fucked to hell with red spiders rushing the spawn from a bell maiden near the end and with rooms full of OP Hemwick Witches summoning three bloated Mad Ones at a time on the way there, so you have constant onslaughts of one shot spiders and mad ones with no let up and a single mistake is death
>>335868841
white isn't a color you chucklehead
>>335868473
try to hug his right shoulder, dodge left instead of right for most of his moves, and use a weapon that doesn't take too long for a charge R2. I did it with an untricked Riflespear.
For his second phase, either abuse homing spells, or play it safe and only attack when he does the diving attacking.
also get the rune where a riposte restores your health, and the one that restores your bullets
>>335868770
>In his second phase backstabs don't work
they do, but only the huge wind-up and dive attack have him open long enough to pull one off
>>335868097
The pvp is mediocre but the pve is possibly GOAT

I've done a lot of charged attacks to his back in the second phase and never gotten one, so I dunno man.
>>335868887
yeah, the spiders are really annoying but if you just keep running you can get around them and kill the bell maidens pretty quickly
this room sucks dick because it has 4 brain suckers, 2 werewolves, and 2 celestials that are sitting with a good vantage point and able to cast a call beyond and hit you from basically anywhere in the room doing 30% of your health per hit at 50 vit. Aside from this room Great Isz is the easiest depth 5 dungeon.

because of the way he stands in the second phase his 'back' is at an unintuitive angle. Only about 1 in 5 backstabs did I hit the sweet spot since you don't have enough time to ensure you're lined up right

Honestly BB took a lot of flak pvp wise for it's shitty matchmaking and bloodtinge shitlords gun spamming and the pandering to skill builds but I actually loved the fast paced fights, parrying heal attempts, comboing people with transform attacks. That shit was fluid like melted butter on my dick and stylish as hell. I like the pvp in DS3 too but it really lacks that flowing aspect. PvP in BB was like god damn animu ballet and I loved that.
>>335869754
N-no!
It was just for pretend!
Out of DeS, DaS, BB, and DaS3, Bloodborne has by far the best pvp. Maybe my opinion's wrong but the system is just so tight and easy. Ring bell, slap the host's shit. Healing is deliciously punishable and chalice dungeons mean you have to put in at least some effort to get big dick damage.
The Old Hunters is GOAT DLC and makes BB one of my favourite games ever.
>>335869739
What if the messengers keep it all for themselves?
i couldn't save her ;_;

I love her. She's so tall and brave yet so fragile.
>>335874437
That's because I didn't mention DaS3 or PC in the OP, I think. Sadly, DaS3 and BB threads are full of shitposting for that exact reason most of the time.
Consolewars shit has never been this bad.
>>335874671
Yeah, that totally not why it's the focal point of his deepest nightmares and why he is enslaved by the Great Ones...

It works great in the area, but as far as memorable pieces go, Laurence and Ludwig are better for me.
>>335875275
Does that mean there are other puffy vulvas?
Do you think Sony will buy the rights to Armored Core from Bamco and make Bloodborne references in the next one? I'd love to see some eldritch abominations in AC again. What do you guys think?

Is the dlc actually worth a whole 20. Im doing a second playthrough now and I let Olsen die from that first hunter on accident. Should I start over? Is a skill based build good?
>>335876712
It's very well worth it due to the sheer amount of replayability it adds through new weapons and bosses and stuff, has some really good moments in it too
>>335876712
THE DLC IS THE BEST THING FROM HAS EVER MADE IN TERMS OF QUALITY BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT IT'S REALLY SHORT. ONE AREA IS ALSO A REMIX OF A PREVIOUS AREA, TWO AREAS ARE BRAND NEW.
BUT YEAH, I'D SAY IT'S WORTH IT WITHOUT A DOUBT BECAUSE OF ALL THE AWESOME NEW WEAPONS. IT'S ALSO GOT THE BEST DAMN BOSSES EVER MADE IN VIDEO GAMES (LUDWIG AND KOS).
DO YOU KNOW THAT DSP COULDN'T BEAT LUDWIG AND HE RAGEQUITTED OVER IT? HE DIDN'T GET HIM IN LIKE 60 TRIES AHAHA, AND THAT'S EVEN WITH SUMMONS. AND THEN HE MADE A VIDEO SAYING IT WASN'T A RAGEQUIT LMAO.

Getting dlc tonight. Just killed witch of herrick.
Is skill build fun?
When do I do the dlc?
Also Eileen died. Do I start over lol
>>335878647
if you have the DLC, any build is fun and viable
you can first do the DLC after amaleia but you're out of your mind if you do so, it's late game stuff
I wouldn't mind eileen too much
>>335878647
I wouldn't attempt dlc untill at least level 60, preferably 80. DlC can be accessed when the item 'Drunk hunters eye' is found in the hunters dream.
>>335878897
>>335878834
Thanks guys. I'm excited doing my second playthrough. Haven't died from a boss yet.
Fuck I'm still really pissed ileen died. But I don't wanna start over. At least I got those blades of mercy. I hear they are good?
>>335879101
They are a pretty high skill capped weapon. They can do massive damage if you know how to dodge an get in close.
Depends on how you like to play the game really.
>>335878647
I recommend doing the DLC just after killing One Reborn
>>335879339
Agreed with this
>>335879436
I don't know Kos is a pretty hard fight. I had had a lot of troubles doing it at ~90, although I suck at timing the visceral attacks.

>>335879886
Well it burns them for a few seconds at least. It's also a great weapon for stunning enemies for some reason. Always knocks them back.
Okay I just looked up that I can't get 2 good runes. Some emotes and hunter covenant since Eileen died... Fuck me. I'm just going to restart
>>335879949
Are you retarded? The Tonitrus has a natural short lightning buff for the weapon art. It deals no fire damage at all.
>>335881017
Mine sets enemies on fire for a brief moment. Maybe I did something to it but the fire part is definitely there.
so far I have killed cleric, gascoigne, witches and blood starved beast. should i bother fighting darkbeast paarl now? i tried but i was just getting wrecked. i heard that the area becomes inaccessible after a certain boss though?

I never had any trouble with him. In fact, I was killing bosses so easily in those dungeons, some in one charged swing with my scythe.

Stake Driver, pretty simple moveset but that Falcon punch is satisfying to land
Rakuyo, Best double sword moveset in the series and downright op in pvp
Moonlight Greatsword, I always thought this thing was overrated in the other games but this one made me a believer
Chikage, Best meme sword in the series

>>335883043
>>335883093
Actually it was Ludwig's in fact. chikage is nice but i run a quality build then when i hit NG+2 i invested in arcane, still only have 18 bloodtinge
When should you fight Darkbeast Paarl? Also which boss would you guys consider the hardest?
>>335881310
You probably put a fire gem on it. The magic gems in BB are weird, they replace the physical damage of your weapon with elemental damage.
This can be bad if your weapon has poor arcane scaling or you have low arcane. So you should probably avoid putting them on your main weapon if you aren't a magic build.
>>335883438
After Vicar Amelia you should be ready. He is a bitch but he's easy to exploit if you know what you're doing. Hardest boss for me was amygdala in the chalice for sure.
>>335883438
Orphan on NG+ or higher is hardest by far. paarl has a trade off, less skilled players will struggle to him if they go to him when it was intended (edgy santas)
and if you wait, hes a cakewalk but if you still struggle you cannot use bells or old hunters so i would recommend getting henryk's set then going ahead and fighting him
>>335883438
You can beat him easily at a low level with the right strategy.You can stagger him by chopping at his legs. If you alternate between them, you can keep him permanently staggered.

Defiled chalice hot dog/Amy or Orphan.
>>335883729
When you find that kind of shit out bloodborne becomes so much easier and fun to play. What's that one boss that comes out of the sky? I think he's in the unseen village but you can just stun lock his ass. I watched fastest bloodborne speedrun and it made me realize so many things it's nuts.
Boss: Queen Yharnam (Fight her once per playthrough by opening the Last Pthumeru chalice, then spend 15 minutes running to her)
Theme: Martyr Logarius/ Queen Yharnam theme
Area: Living Failures boss room
Weapon: Hunter Axe, but any BB weapon will do.
Girl: Doll
>>335883979
Ya, there are a lot of bosses in blood borne with weak-points that aren't immediately obvious. The Cleric Beast (and Laurence?) also has one on its head. You can actually stagger him if you can shoot him enough there or have a weapon with a large downward arc.

Everytime I think of chalice dungeons and bloodgems I get a bit sad. Such a wasted opportunity to make a perfect game
