I just beat bloodborne in 3 hours 30 minutes
Ask me anything
Can you beat it in two hours, bl4 ng+3? If not, you can ask me anything.
Why did it take you so long?
>>342589829
That's pretty slow senpai. Did you walk it?
>>342590407
Blood starved beast kicked my teeth in a good 5 times. Also did some optional bosses to get souls.
>>342589829
I've beaten the game in around 1 hour and on ng+6 when i was going for plat.
Willing to help a senpai defeat amelia?
>>342591589
Just summon Bernadette or idk her name. that one NPC you can summonnear Vicar Amelia. she'll bait while you'll just have to hit.
>>342589829
whats your power level ?
What's the best way to beat the boss of Castle Cainhurst? I just beat Rom but this fucker kicks my teeth in and the path back is soooooooooooooooooooooooo long
>>342591589
Use fire, oil, molotovs, fire paper.
>>342591589
>Amelia
Jesus, anon. Just use a +3 Hunter Saw with some Fire Paper. 20% DMG + 20% DMG.
When she does that scream or those charge attacks, use molotovs.
All beast bosses are easy as piss since they have so many weaknesses that can be acquired so early on.
>>342589829
Have you ever held hands with a girl outside your family?
>>342592769
Play aggressively, and use the towers for cover if you need to. If you're lucky, he won't enter his phase where he redirects bullets and you can just parry him to death.
>>342593517
>holding hands with girls
hah. faggot, enjoy your cooties.
Where did i leave the remote control for my roku?
Did you beat it in 4 seconds, ng+724, bl4 and using only your left fist? If not, you can AMA
>>342589829
What do you get out of lying on an anonymous image board?
How's summoning work in Bloodborne? Recently I gave up and payed Sony for my own internet so wanted to try it out. I'm 150lvl now on NG+ and can't get summoned for some reason. Am I overleveled too much?
>>342589829
Good now try to masturbate for 3 hours and 30 minutes. Edge like fuck then cum until you die.

And now they are working on three different titles at the same time, not counting the DLC of DS3.
>>342589829
kos or kosm?
>>342591589
Why do so many people have trouble with her? It's the only boss that never killed me.
>>342591387
Same here, I was one ending away from plat and i chose the wrong ending because I was so tired. I had to rerun the entire game that night
>>342589829
Did you take a piss or hold it in?
>>342597034
You ring a bell, that bell lets you summon fags that are ringing their small bell within the same zone. It also spawns a bell ringing woman which if left alive will allow fags ringing invader bells invade you. If you kill the woman they won't be able to invade. Some areas of the game have bell ringing women already spawned before you even ring.
>>342592769
Honestly, learn his slashes and swipes and abuse the fuck out of parries. He becomes Gascoigne levels of easy if you know how to do that.
>Tfw you've done so many playthroughs of Bloodborne that you know the game forwards and back
>>342599074
because you summoned help
>>342599356
I summoned the NPC hunter from that area the first time I fought her, but even without that she never gave me trouble. She doesn't have any particulary dangerous move like BSB grab.
teach me fampai.
i made it to forbidden woods with quality build but damage fall flat and took too long to kill normal mobs. then i quit.
what build to use? i really want to try blood build but Chikage is so late into the game
Is the Old Hunters DLC worth the money? I love the main game and thibking if I should get it
>>342599652
Definitely. Even if you end up not liking it as much as the main game it has a lot of new weapons.
>>342599652
Yeah, it's worth it. The weapons alone are like crack to me, fucking whirligig saw.
>>342599652
If you love the main game, the DLC is a must get.
>>342599549
Are you using Ludwig's meme blade like a good Quality fag?
>>342599846
>>342599974
>>342599995
Alright, I'll get to it after I'm finished with ape escape.
What are the best weapons the DLC adds, like with coolness/fun factor?
So far I've been using Tonitrus to hell and back immediately after I found it, and some Ludvig's blade and gun, with Hunter's Torch. I also use Burial Blade for some of the bosses, since it seems to regenerate lost health insane amounts compared to anything else. I also really want to like Logarius' Wheel, but it feels so clunky and limited with short reach and low damage output.
>>342601263
Logarius wheel is sort of a specialized weapon, to properly use it you pretty much have to ditch one of the forms, you can either use it as a raw strength build untricked and buff the fuck out of its physical attack with gems or use it as an arcane weapon and buff the fuck out of its arcane damage with gems (lost variant makes this easier) and only use the tricked form.
Did you punch lady Maria?
>>342601263
If you kill Laurence you get a beast rune that makes you into a werewolf with the Beast Claw, that's pretty good
you can also be an ayy lmao
The Church Pick is pretty gud imo, and the Moonlight Blade's just baller
>>342601263
Beast cutter is a pretty good PvE weapon since it has decent stagger (it's good for loran chalices if you spec it for fire damage). It's basically a strength variant of the cane. There's also the amygdala arm which is fun as well.
>>342601831
Church Pick is probably the best weapon in the game. It has low base damage but does entirely thrust damage when you transform it so you can turn it into a fucking beast with thrust gems on top of thrust being the most effective damage type overall. It's even classed as serrated/holy for that little extra damage against certain enemies.
>>342601985
>Amygdalan Arm can kill the brainsucker with the key in Upper Cathedral Ward through the door it sits at
Feels great.
>>342599074
I died a shitton of times, because I put next to no points on vitality so most of her attacks killed me on the spot and I had to git gud enough not to get hit.
Pretty annoying, when you try to look for video guides and they're all by farmer scrubs who overlevel to the point of tanking every fucking hit and then have the balls to claim the fight was easy.
>>342602115
I just like the fact that it doesn't look like it will fall apart the moment you hit something with it like the Saw weapons. I did a full dex build so I don't have much to use effectively aside from the Cane, Rakuyo and the Pick (I'm horrible with the BoM for some reason), that and I really don't like weapon pieces that stick onto your back like the Burial Blade, so I appreciate the fact that it's a viable weapon with good looks
>>342602521
My biggest annoyance about weapon appearances is that fucking everything's covered in bandages, especially on the blade part.
I love the Saif but it bothers the hell out of my autism seeing the side of the blade that you hit enemies with being covered in bandages.
>>342601472
What's the lost variant and where do I get it?
GODDAMMIT
THIS MACHINE GUN HUNTER IN THE HUNTERS NIGHTMARE IS THE WORST PIECE OF SHIT IN THIS ENTIRE FUCKING GAME
THIS THIS RIGHT HERE IS UNFAIR
I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS
THIS IS BULLSHIT
>>342602945
Yeah same, that's why I don't use most of the raggedy looking weapons, Saw Cleaver's nice and all but all the bandages ruin my immersion, I thought I'd like the Beast Cutter but the thing's rusted more than a damn shipwreck, which made me real sad, it's a real cool weapon
At least we get some neat pieces like Simon's Bowblade and Reiterpallasch, wish I had utilized my build to make better use of them
Then again cane/rakuyo + pick work real nice for me, so I guess I can't complain, still a shame about the Saif, it's a real cool weapon but as you said bandages
>>342603320
Run around the rock and used charged R2s with a weapon with decent range. I don't understand why they didn't put bullet limits on enemy hunters, it is ridiculous.
>>342603205
Variants are found in chalices, sold by merchants. Only difference variants have are the gem slot shapes. It's easy to find the variants for dlc weapons because they're in standard non root chalices but for non dlc weapons it's recommended you search for a code for a chalice that has it online.
I'm kinda stuck. Martyr Gandalf is wrecking me hard and so are the mobs in the Unseen Village. What should I do? Sudoku? I don't even know where to level.
>>342603320
I never had much of a hard time with him, might be because I had a lot of stamina.
>>342604264
I think the point with Yahar'Gul is that you shouldn't try to fight all of them, it's a bit of a horror thingOr maybe I'm just a scrub
>>342603349
Lorewise the bandages are used to soak up blood for rally. You see this is why bandaged weapons tend to regain more health on hit than non bandaged weapons.
>>342604264
Mobs in the unseen village are fucking hell, cope with the fact that you will die multiple times, but focus on discovering the locations of the bell maidens and eliminate them first.
>>342604401
>>342604529
Okay, I was kinda wondering if that was the case since the difficulty takes such a sudden spike compared to the other areas. Gotta do some suicide runs then and try find stuff.
>>342604449
But, say, Hunter's Axe doesn't have any bandages on its blade iirc
>>342589829
Are you a virgin?
>>342605670
It has some, though not on the blade itself.
I'm going for a Threaded Cane build.
I have been inputting points into stamina, skill, arcane, and vitality.
My arcane is at 26 right now. Is it worth to put more into that or should I just stay with the others?
>>342599356
I've never summoned for a boss and have beaten Amelia like 10x without dying once.
>>342605864
See, I don't mind having bandages on the handle or the junky parts, but having them on the blade's just a bad design decision imo, I just go with the stuff that doesn't have it instead
Then again it's probably my autismbux at work
I wish the Whirligig Saw's Saw didn't stick on your back on mace form, I love the thing's design but that bothers the fuck out of me
>>342593237
>>342593395
>>342599074
She's hard as fuck to attack close and stay out of her sweeps and jumps.
BsB was much easier to expose.
Nigga needs someone to distract her.
>>342599356
t.shitplayer
never died to that boss, even on ng+7 shes easy as shit.
run behind her > mash r1. she cant do anything, at least laurence has fucking attacks to get you off his ass.
>>342597387
Wait
Does "extras" include dlc?
If so, DaS3 will end up longer despite the shorter storythe lengths of both honestly aren't much of a problem but I miss the lost feeling I got with dark souls 1 and the beginning of 2
>>342607057
Mate, I just fought Ludwig for the first time and died.
Don't sit there and tell me Ameilia is hard to dodge.
>>342607057
I died only once ever to Blood-Starved Beast ever. Shit's piss easy, since it can't do shit unless you're straight in front of it
aight fampais
i'm trying to get a good quality build for moonlight sword, I have planned to go 30/20/40/40/8/25
Toughts? Also no, not gonna go arc build, not my stuff and it limits for secondary weapon choices

>>342615371
Gherman, since she is a replica of her apprentice who left him alone after the events in the fishing village.
>>342589829
What is it like having physically crippling faggotry run in your blood?
>>342616124
BB gets better after Amelia imo. You just gotta keep trying weapons and find one that fits your playstyle and build.
Mensis is the other bullshit part of the game.
>>342616119
Pass: MPD
Cathedral Ward
>>342591589
Use numbing mist whenever she does her stupid healing thing. There's like 6 of them in a tower up a ladder on your way to the boss fight.
With that, you can just hug her left hip the entire game and use charge attacks. I think if you wound her left arm (the one she's clutching) she'll end up only healing and not get health when she does her heal.
Don't worry anon I had trouble with her too, but she's still a cakewalk compared to some of the later bosses.
>>342616479
gimme 5 mins
I beat this as my first souls game. Can anyone give me tips to transition into DaS? I'm at the fireplace right past the dragon on the bridge, and everything is fucking my shit up. Feels like the same learning process I had to do with Bloodborne, but slower.
>>342616796
If an enemy has their shield up, do an attack while hitting up on the stick to do a kick that removes his block.
>>342616703
Sorry bruh i weren't doing shit since i had no items when going in to the fight
>>342617482
np senpai figured as much, farm some vials to make it easier
>>342589829
Is that supposed to be impressive?
>>342616558
She only heals herself if you're too far away.
Seriously, just stand next to her leg and keep hitting it. Why is this so hard?
First playthrough of this, I'm currently in forbidden woods. I'm still using the saw cleaver with +3 but should I just get Ludwig's blade? I'm only bl38 so I figured I could wait longer for it. Also what's a decent beginner's build? So far I'm 20/20/16/18/9/8 and I want to focus on str/skill but I think my vit is way too low for where I am in the game.
>>342616124
>soundtracks for boss battles have been awful
>>342616124
"literally" go kill yourself retard
>>342617657
Alright gonna ring in a sec with same pass.
I think we can all agree that Ludwig's blade is the best weapon. But what's the best secondary?
>>342619309
Hunters Axe is better.
>>342618510
Level-matching leaves me with veryfew healt so she oneshots me. Swapping armors.
>>342616124
> When does BB get good ?
You are actually playing the better part now, senpai. Bloodborne's level design takes a nosedive 2/3 into the game.
>>342599197
Yeah, but how close your level has to be to summoner?
>>342621115
I can't remember the exact numbers, but if you use a password it bypasses level restrictions.
>>342616124
>literally barely any weapons and still using the starter
You can beat whole game with start weapon, rest are for fun. Biggest flaw about Bloodborne.
>way to many copy and paste scrub enemies
Enemies are as much as varied as rest of Souls games.
>soundtracks for boss battles have been awful
Disagree, soundtrack is amazing.
>4 bosses already that look similar
They are haired beasts but still look different and have different moveset. After Amelia there are no beast type bosses as far as I remember (not counting Chalice dungeons and Laurence from DLC)
>When does BB get good ?
Already been. If you don't like it now, you will not like it further.
>>342619730
Yoo thanks bruh
I'm about to tackle the Nightmare of Mensis. Is it any worse than Yahar'gul?
>>342610112
>40/40/25
Either go 50 str or 50/70 arc, everything else will suck
>>342622073
Hooo boy, bring max frenzy resistance, the difficulty definitely goes down once you step inside and out of the brain of mensis' frenzy range but it might take a few tries to get there. Use a fire coated weapon for the silverbeasts, if they're not killed with fire they'll release multiple worms upon death.
>>342619309
>Circular slot
>Need to go into the autism dungeon for triangular
Literally shit
>>342622383
Well shit, if it's those small worm things that I can barely hit for shit, I'm already worried.
>>342621673
>You can beat whole game with start weapon, rest are for fun. Biggest flaw about Bloodborne.
how is that supposed to be a flaw? If the game left weapons obsolete after a certain time period THAT would be a flaw
>>342622668
Yes it's those worms. Remember, fire. There's only like 3 or 4 silverbeasts and they're all on the outside where the brain stares at you and raises your frenzy meter. There are also rock chucking giants outside too. Inside there are a lot of spiders, a hunter, crow dogs, dog crows some puppets in the segment prior to the first boss of the area.
>>342622073
I hate Mensis, worst zone imo. It just strips me of my will to fight, I just run from checkpoint to checkpoint doing suicide runs.
>silverbeasts and frenzy
>spiders
>the jailers and crossbowmen
>3 pigs
>shadows of yharnam
Just why
>>342590319
When did you become such a faggot?
>>342623051
Well, so long as it doesn't have those fucking bell maidens and an assload of villagers coming at me, I guess I can manage.
>>342622870
Because kills any hype for discovery? Literally no joy of finding any new stuff if you can cut through the game with hunter's axe and yharnam hunter's set you have at start.
>>342623254
The second part has a bell maiden that summons an adversary.
>>342623309
the mindless that you need to keep getting better "loot" is a cancerous mobile game tier mentality
its about what do you want to use, not what is viable to use
>>342623373
Okay, that I can deal with better than those shitheads back in the Hidden Village.
Well, here I go. Here's hoping I do fine.
>>342623585
But only Rakuyo, Church Pick, Bloodletter and MLGS are viable
>>342623585
If my set is good I'm not gonna bother trying out or checking for other gear. That's the problem and there's barely anything in the game as it is.
>>342589829
How and when do I get access to the DLC section?
>>342589829
Try not die next time, if you did
>>342623991
>If my set is good I'm not gonna bother trying out or checking for other gear. That's the problem and there's barely anything in the game as it is.
the game is made for people who like videogames, so they can play the game as many times as they want with different weapons and playstyles where everything is viable
>>342623991
>How and when do I get access to the DLC section?
After it becomes night time you get an item via messengers in the hunter's dream called eye of a blood drunken hunter, you have to then let yourself get grabbed by a lesser amygdala that's next to the cathedral ward lantern.
>>342623309
Maybe you enjoy the moveset of another weapon you got more, that's how it worked for me. I moved from weapon to weapon trying out the moves and have a few I enjoy using and since there's no equip limit I don't feel scared of becoming too heavy.
>>342623057
I like the pigs, you can make them follow you and fight the shadows near the boss.
>>342623309
>"Boy this extensible axe is pretty cool."
>"But man this sword that sheathes into an stone altar to make a hammer is cooler."
I mean yeah, everything is viable and balanced, thats the fucking point. Try different things till you find the one that you are more comfortable with, be it the starting cane or the Burial Blade.
>>342624381
And this is best way to farm blood echoes in main game.
>>342624284
I switched to Ludwig both swords out of boredoom. Normal for common wave of enemies due to wide swings, and moonlight for bosses because slightly bigger damage.
>>342623309
I disagree, my guy. Finding the Tonitrus and the pizza cutter made me pretty excited.
You could always do that in Souls games, anyway. I've always thought the series was about finding a weapon you liked. It's always felt like all weapons were more or less equal (for PvE, at least. Won't speak about PvP).
>>342625193
Eh, maybe with the exception of Tonitrus and Boom Hammer, I think most weapons are pretty viable on pvp.

>mixing skill and strength
Enjoy your gimped stats and getting matched up with bl 150 reddit memelords
>>342625792
Souls pvp has too much cookie-cutter meta that's the most optimal shit to pvp, some of it is bullshit, sinc if you don't have a way to counter certain builds or you are not following the meta you are going to get destroyed.
BB pvp is perfect imo, all weapons have different dspeeds d reaches, but they are well thought and balanced, even magic or beasthood.
>>342625193
>>342625490
>Tonitrus
I love that weapon but it being made of electrified paper mache makes me not want to use it.
