Anyway to make chalice dungeons more fun?
Treat this part of the game as an Spectacle Fighter, make your fights and weapon usage as amusing as possible.
Friends help a lot too.
>>337946165
I find that exploring them with a friend is fun, especially if you're both slogging through the first few dungeons to get to the FRC Depth 5 chalices. Grinding for top tier gems is also a lot faster if you co-op with a buddy because you'll have two chances to get a decent gem.
Any items in this game increase your ability to withstand physical attacks? I'm on the chalice dungeon version of blood starved beast, and while the fight itself is really easy because BSB has really easily parryable attacks and I can just throw the jars of blood at him, it takes one hit to kill me. My health or whatever the stat is is only at like 30 and I don't know if this matters, but my stamina and strength are about 10.
>>337946165
Literally cant be done. After a few of them you'll realize that there are only about 4 rooms that are regurgitated again and again.
Important part of what makes Souls game fun is the overworld, there's nothing like that in the chalice dungeons.
>>337946563
Leveling automatically adds defense, plus clothing. I dont play chalice dungeons so I dont know, but vit 30 is doable in non-chalice end-game. Its easier tot have 40 tho.
>but my stamina and strength are about 10
So youre playing a dex build? Why the fuck didnt you invest in END(stamina)? What level are you?
>>337947021
Level 108
I've only focused on skill and bloodtinge all game.
>>337947152
Shit brah, for dex builds, endurance is paramount. How many times can you hit before youre out of stamina? Besides that, if youre using weapons that scale well with skill+BT, you should be okay. I guess he's just hard. If I remember correctly though, he should be weak to fire. Are you using fire paper? What level are your weapons?
Post em if you got em brothers
>>337947809
Some sensual dodging there, anon.
>>337947809
only one i got
>>337946165
No. You just turn your brain off until you reach the last chalice were all the good gems are.
>>337947974
Thanks anon. Was just testing it out since I just converted it to webm. Wanted to see if it played correctly.
Make every boss in the game+DLC appear as random chalice dungeon bosses.
>>337946165
They should have made chalice dungeon progress shared between characters so you don't need to go through the same fucking 30 dungeons every time you make a fresh character.
>>337947809
what level are you in this webm?
I tend to have something in the background to listen to, like a podcast or a LP or something.
Also post Hunters.
>>337947809
I've killed more of these fuckers than I can count for vial runs. The quickest way is to use amygdalan arm or the pizza cutter.
>>337948045
Damn that boss was an awesome experience.
"Kos, or some say Kosm"
>>337948417
Seeing as he has 60k echoes, Id say about 90-100.
>>337948542
or shit, how do i get that outfit
>>337947809
>wrong neighborhood hunterfucker
>slaps their shit
>pssh, nothing personal kiddos
>mfw /v/irgins don't spelunk with friends in the chalice dungeons
I always have a few bros who do root chalices with me, seen some crazy shit
>>337948648
Kill Maria and you buy it from the Insight vendor.
Didn't know about it until like, a night or two ago myself, just got around to playing the DLC recently.
>>337948795
I want to play with other people and explore shit.
Are they randomly generated or something?
>>337948417
Level 80. Was trying to challenge myself. I would run from the place where you first wake up all the way to the where you fight rom without getting hit once or I would use a lamp and go back and start over.
I was basically training and Since I beat all the bosses except for Old hunters ones I was free to just run around basically. It was a new character I started just for Old Hunters and I was kind of rusting after having not played for so long.
Dont mind me, just the best boss experience in BB coming through.
>>337948648
The helmet is from the cainhurst armor. Loved it to pieces, the torso is rubbish though. I found it works best when you swap the torso for the executioner one. The rest is the maria one I think.
>>337948045
I unironically love the Micolash fight because it's obviously inspired by the final fight in Blade Runner.
>>337949089
the ones that have "root" in their name are
the ones that don't are set
I used to not like chalice dungeons but i've opened up to them. I agree doing the earlier ones suck but doing co-op makes them more fun
>>337949203
Where's Orphan of Kos, you imposter?
>>337948045
I want to try this out one day Evelyn hits so fucking hard with high BT
>>337949203
In terms of vanilla BB, I enjoyed Gehrman the most.
I mean, just listen to his theme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V9zxXN1rx0
So goddamn fucking good.
>>337949203
I really REALLY like Amelia!
>>337949408
He's second in my list.
>>337949814
Gerhman was underwhelming for me. Dont know why, maybe because he was kinda easy and didnt have interesting moves or backstory.
Loved the amelia fight becausee of the setting, but especially because her screams fucking terrified me.
>>337949814
I died to Gehrman more than my other deaths in BB combined, fucker put me through some real challange because i could neither parry or backstab when i got to him and my damage was shit
Not my favorite boss but has a special place in me, caused me to git gud at the game
I never played BB and have no interest in a PS4. What's the lore about? I heard some people in DS3 threads mention that it's got a lot of water motifs and Aldrich's dream of an Age of Deep Seas could be a reference to BB.

Assuming you Share'd using Twitter, here's a tip, open up the picture and replace large at the end of the url with orig.
You can save it by copying that url and pasting it into MS Paint.

>>337950437
You're a foreigner who goes to a Victorian-styled town to find a cure for a disease you've been inflicted with (I think?). This Victorian town, which is called Yharnam has a strange obsession with blood. Blood transfusions is a type of drug and pretty much the entire population is addicted. Apparently some bad blood gets passed around and people begin turning into beasts. You have to survive one night in this town where the population is slowly turning into beasts which make typical werewolves look like puppies.And then aliens appear.
>>337950437
aliens n shiet
>>337950535
Thanks for that. I do share using twitter.
A tip for everybody in this topic. If you want to make webms of BB and other PS4 games, download WebMConverter and youtube-dl.
>>337946165
Pthumeru is boring.
Loran is ok.
Isz is fun us fuck.
>>337950535
Or you can just get a flash drive, put it in the PS4, copy whatever shots you want and plug it into the computer then post it.

The Pthumerian Queen bossfight is pretty fucking fun, though.
>>337950437
In Bloodborne's world theres a church that created a type of blood that can heal any sickness or injury. But something happened and caused some of that blood to curse the people and turn them into beasts.
You become a beast hunter, and kill whatever caused that curse.
That's the main story.
also in Bloodborne's world "Old gods" are worshiped. The Old Gods are like the ones in Lovecraftian mythos.
>>337950437
It's mostly about menstruation blood and placentas.
I can't stop making metrosexual men in videogames.
Somebody please send help.

You can't be serious about the backstory part. His story is basically one of the pillars for the bloodborne lore

Haven't played in a while, but I'll try and sum it up:>race of superhumans known as Pthumerians come into contact with the Great Ones and discover the "eldritch Truth"

>scholars discover the ruins, and soon after discover the Great Ones and their blood, which is a cure-all for humans
>the church devotes an entire place of learning to the research of the blood and the Great Ones
>turns out the blood has adverse effects on humans, turning them into beasts
>Willem, an important figure in Yharnam, urges the church to "fear" the blood because it has adverse properties
>Laurence, the first Vicar of Yharnam, does not heed Willem's warning, and thus distributes blood freely to Yharnamites
>Yharnamites become addicted because the blood gives a better buzz than alcohol
>Yharnamites becomes beasts
>in response to this, the church creates a workshop with which to fashion weapons and the like and trains their members to hunt down any Yharnamites who've turned
>then there's you, an outsider come to Yharnam for "blood administration"
>you sign a contract
>doctor puts you under
>you wake up in an empty clinic

There's obviously a lot more to it than this, but I hope that kinda gives you the jist of the story.

Why did you guys ruin the twist?
It's best to go into Bloodborne thinking it's a Victorian-inspired horror game so you can go full 'Oh shit what' when things get weird.
So after Ludwig how much is left to get the bowblade?

Good. It means another game with newer assets and a different setting.

Once I got to 40 insight, I decided to wander around the levels to see if anything changed due to my higher insight stat. I went to the cathedral and noticed the statues were ayys. I didn't know if those statues were ayys before or after my insight, or if it was my own intrigue in the level design which made me notice what the statues really were.

Skill and Strength will still take you up a point or two in the AR screen per level past 50, visceral damage scales with skill too, and arcane scales well to 99, so yeah, you can still get get quite a lot out of things going that high, though nothing too significant other than in Arcane, overall going that high doesn't change much at all or make things easier

It depends on the other person's settings.
>>337956625

you can change it on the network options menu

HOLY SHIT WHAT DO I DO
>>337956836
>the tracking on these things was so good that FROM actually had to nerf them
I always find that hilarious.Lock on to a spider and dash away. It's the easiest way to dodge them.
>>337956853
>>337952869
>>you'll never play a bloodborne 2
I hope it stays that way. I'm kind of done with Soulsborne games.
>>337957038
holy shit, they were NERFED? those fucking missiles still get me.
>>337957138
>>337957303
They were, yes. It used to be very difficult to dodge them to the point that even dashing wouldn't always let you get away safely.
what's the story with that choir intelligencer guy? i like him
>>337957383
>>337956836
Sprint in one direction until they stop. Took me a long time trying to dodge them to realise it's best to just run like fuck.
>>337957635
>>337957616
He's a spy, since that's what "intelligencer" means. Presumably, he's there to keep a close eye on the Mensis guys and share any information about them with the church.
>>337957883
whats your vitality at?
>>337957883
>>337958114
wrong thread buddy
>>337957303
Man I noticed a huge difference from release rom to now when I did my most recent run. That fucking magic rain was almost impossible to dodge completely before. You would almost always get hit by at least one.
>>337946165
Do them at the levels you're supposed to do them. Like depth 1 after Bloodstarved Beast, depth 2 after Rom, depth 3 after the One Reborn.
>>337957934
>>337957616
I thought he was someone who went back to abandoned Byergenwerth on behalf of the Choir to pick up important documents and shit and take it back to Upper Cathedral Ward.

>>337958878
>>337958734
why does he attack you? he hasn't turned, right?
>>337947809

>>337958878

>>337959229
Is that one a woman?
>>337959261
Annnd that's all I care to dump
>>337959112
Dunno. Maybe he's a traitor? Can't say for sure, really.
>>337959229
Oh, so you were talking about Yurie, right? What you said actually makes a lot of sense.
>>337959325
Yurie is a woman, yes.
In my opinion, once you get chalices other than Pthumeru ones, they become fun.
For some reason, Loran, Hinterland, and Isz are great fun, but Pthumeru is just garbage. You do need to do all of the Pthumeru chalices for some unique bosses, though.
>>337947809
I have so many of these I forget what they all are.
>>337959325
Yeah, I just looked her up and apparently her name is 'Yurie, the Last Scholar', so I presume she was the last student of Byrgenwerth that hasn't transformed into an eye-insect-thing or succumbed to too much insight like Willem.

That's an interesting challenge. Did you ever find yourself just avoiding enemies to succeed? Did you enjoy going through the forest like this? Those snake headed assholes can just hit you while you're hitting them because the snakes don't seem subject to the body's hitstun.

That elevator takes you into a new area. You have to finish the area to fight Maria, and then get well into the area after that to get the bowblade.
If you want it sooner, you can kill the guy who has it whenever you see him. He's the only character in the DLC who talks to your normally, you find him by the shortcut before Ludwig, in Ludwig's room after the fight, and also right up that elevator you're talking about.

I took Loran to be a substitute for Africa. The "sands of Loran" could either be a reference to Arabia or Africa, both have significance to Lovecraft's lore. But Darkbeast Paarl is named after the oldest dutch colony town in Africa, so I think that's a hint as Loran Darkbeast is the apex boss of the Loran dungeons.

Seriously ?
>>337962965
imo games at 30 on console are very different than games at 30 on pc, they lack a lot of the post processing effects that they get on consoles that don't make lower framerates seem so bad
A lot of people experience how laggy and jumpy and generally fucky 30fps games are on PC but in general it's much more unstable than on a console
>>337963153

It feels very "laggy and jumpy" compared to Uncharted 4 for example

their (ancient) culture is cool. you can definitely disregard the millions of peoples, though

>not killing the guy outside Ludwig that gives 5 every kill
Why
>>337966360
The world you're living in isn't real if it includes people that are "bad" by default
>>337965597
>aztec souls
holy shit fund it NOW
>>337965597
>>337967289
Wasn't that what the Sunken King DLC was about ?
>>337965597
Meh. Make it an East Asia souls game instead like Nioh, and keep the MidEast flair for a Bloodborne spinoff.
>>337966360
it's really not

my family has lived among them for several generations, first there, now here, they've always been ISIS tier
>>337966993
Niggers and people of the Islam faith. Both, however, do have interesting ancient cultures and histories like this guy said >>337966360
The question is -- why would you want to even deal with or acknowledge people who would rather have you dead?
>>337965597
I'd like an African themed Souls game. We could call it King Souls.

It's like you give zero fucks about the integrity of the world
What kind of fucking hunter would wear a piece from both sets
>>337967671
pls BLACK souls for all the butthurt

Logarius wheel makes everything more fun.

Blackborne

A foreign hunter who has just turned up and no idea about the customs and traditions of Yharnam and its surroundings?
You know, a hunter like the player character?
>>337962656
mfw some one actually tries that onme
>>337946165
So how's the online on this game? I haven't played it in months after finishing the DLC.
Been to busy being disappointed by dark souls 3 that I want to go play some bloodborne, but kinda of a shame if the Online portion is bad.
>>337968380
I imagine the online is dead since 3 just released.
>>337964992
I tried this once, the spiders in the pit despawned and the bell bitches brought in new ones. I was very dissapointed.
>>337968659
Yeah, that's what I'm afraid off.
I've done two playthroughs of Dark souls 3, but it's just so boring, compared to Bloodborne. 3 installments in the same universe with the same rehash of weapon and armor really gets you..
Bloodborne is how FromS should be doing things, new universe and style each time. Makes the experience much more refreshing and enjoyable.
Oh well, I'll jump on BB tomorrow after work and I'll see how it goes.

It takes fucking balls to use a bow against beasts
So /v/, what's up with the snakes? We've got a pretty good idea about the lore behind the beasts, the undead, the kin, the insect things, the slug things and the fish things, but then there's just a bunch of snakes for no reason.
Why are there giant snakes in the woods and the hintertombs? Why are some people just full of snakes? Has it got anything to do with great one blood, or is it an entirely unrelated snake apocalypse happening at the same time as the great one blood apocalypse?
>>337968353
>he tries to r1 spam into it twice without the gloves hitting
damn what a wanna-be
>>337968659
it's shockingly not dead. I'm getting some co-op action, and Im at end game levels (~120). It may be better at lower levels more in line with a first playthrough.

Where do you get that? Also what attributes do you need? Newfag here, clearly
>>337969141
Different strains of the old blood do different things. Not all old blood came from the same old one.
Why is this game such a popular meme on this board?
>>337971098
Its the only game the PS4 has but its a really, really good game, probably the first truly good souls games since dark souls, which upsets PCfats. Basically sonyfags and pcfats are both pathetic and this game highlights all the reasons why.
>>337947809
So this just happened. Kek. GG From Software.
