CAN'T YOU JUST DRINK IT LIKE BOOZE, HAHA!
We all know that Bloodborne is a game that's filled to the brim with people who are chronic fuckups.
>Willem
>Gehrman
>Laurence
>Maria
>Ludwig
>Logarius
>Micolash
the question is: out of all of these fuckups, which one fucked up the hardest?
>>343622742
Don't, it only hurts
>>343622749
Don't worry. We'll get another BB, bb.
Sony will throw so much money at teriyaki, he'll have to say yes.
>you will never play bloodborne for the first time ever again
>>343623008
Laurence.
He set the pins. Micolash was just the ball that knocked em down.
>>343622527
>cant beat gascione
>pretends the game is boring
>>343623008
Everything LITERALLY everything is Laurence's fault.
>>343623073
I seriously hope we dont.
Do you want another DaS2?
>>343623257
Except the fishing hamlet. Don't lay that evil on Laurence, that's Willem's fault
>>343623307
Same. Bb is too good on its own, a sequel would just bring disappointment. And it's much longer than DS3 anyways.
>>343623176
Why would someone draw this? Why would you save this on your computer?
>>343623396
>And it's much longer than DS3 anyways.
Was BB your first Fromsoft game? BB is ~25 hours on a first playthrough, and DaS3 is around ~35 hours
>>343623027
>he still watches GoT
>>343623008
Willem and his organisation were the ones that caused the whole shitshow to start, but Laurence is the one who did exactly what he was told not to do, and was directly responsible for a whole bunch of the games problems.
>>343616190

Hi Plague
Does anybody else find Gascoigne a real pain to fight? I've played through the game about 6 times now and each time this bastard fucked my shit up.

Confession: I have never been Gas sconeby myself
>>343624145
Nah, just keep strafing constantly to avoid bullets, same as any enemy that has a gun, and of course be ready to dodge at a second's notice. You can dodge and punish his swings with at least two hits depending on your weapon.
Save the music box for after he transforms, that's the only difficult part of the fight, especially if you're prone to dodging backwards instead of sideways.

In his werewolf form, don't ever jump back too far away or he will continuously aerial bomb the fuck out of you, decreasing your stamina a lot while you try to dodge it. Keep a mild distance and always dodge to his side/back when he attacks.

>>343622665
I WON THE LOTTERY
Started a new playthrough recently, trying the weapons I didn't before.
Cane Whip is super boring, extremely unenjoyable.
Rifle Spear is pretty fun, charged R2 is Hunter's Axe tier of broken. Some of the hitboxes are terrible and will whiff if you don't space them perfectly though.
Reiterpallasch is nothing to write home about, but untricked moveset is less gimped than Cane's at least. Tricked mode feels like a worse Bowblade to me, I barely ever use it.
Where's a good place to invade at SL60?
>>343615578
Smell of shit, overrated game
>>343626243
Why is it overrated, PCuck?
>>343626183
Nightmare of Mensis? I usually go there, and I always find someone.
>>343615578
Beasts all ovah the shoppe

To me this reads like you put way too much importance on mechanics to the point where you cheat yourself out of enjoying the game. The Cane Whip at least is a spectacular weapon.
The best place to invade is probably upper Mensis
>>343626779
>not even to Ron
>plans on getting past Ludwig and Maria
Good luck anon
>>343615578

>>343626779
Happy fishing, anon.
>>343626820
>The Cane Whip at least is a spectacular weapon.
Maybe if you enjoy doing 0 damage for 3/4 of the game. It only becomes good when you start sinking chunks into it, and it's scaling explodes
I'S BLUDD
>>343626820
It's more like Cane doesn't let me be flashy. I enjoy using all my moveset, but I feel restricted to playing it like Dark Souls to not get killed. Just R2 spam all the time gets boring.
On the other hand, I enjoy Beast Cutter a lot even if it's worse, it feels satisfying to use and every move has some use.
What's the best time to do Cainhurst and the Nightmare Frontier?
>>343626960
I've played the entire game with the cane, literally just that and not even any firearms. It seems to stagger bosses for visceral attacks deceptively easily, especially beasts like Amelia obviously.
There isn't a single weapon in that game that you can't comfortably use from the second you acquire it to the final boss
>>343626882
I got through just fine.
My usual progression is
Early game up to Bloodstarved -> Chalices until Depth 2 gems -> Amelia -> chunk looting around the world for +9 weapon -> chalice Depth 3 gems -> DLC -> +10 weapon -> Shadows of Yharnam.
>>343624145
I've only played the game once, since it was on my friend's PS4 that I was borrowing, and I fought Gascoigne as my first boss and found him way easier than the Cleric beast. I couldn't figure out how to gun-parry the beast for shit, but with Gascoigne's arena being big enough it was really easy to get the spacing right and figure out his patterns while making use of a fuckload of dodging and the occasional parry. He didn't really get tough until his werewolf phase.
>>343627152
Nightmare Frontier just after Amelia, I'd say.
Cainhurst around One Reborn / Micolash.
>>343627152
Cainhurst whenever you kill the Witches and gain access to it, the Nightmare I'd say you should be at least level 60-70, considering specifically your vit and end. The first enemies there do a good amount of damage and have a good amount of health
>>343624478
From my point of view the hunters are evil
>>343627528
Then you are lost!!!
/v/, I have a question
Why did the Mensis feel the need to cover their city with statues of screaming people who are melting into the walls? I get the statues of Amygdalas and baby bribris and shit, but I can't figure out what purpose these statues are meant to serve
>>343627528
Shut up, Fishman.
Also, does anyone have the MGSV Fishman copypasta monologue?
>>343622630
>>343622645
>>343622837
>>343622864
>>343622930
>>343623232
I'm being honest, last I remember I was at the second area the Cathedral Ward links to. I've played Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 3 times each, yet Bloodborne is just Bloodbore to me.
>>343627528
Well, an unknowing bad guy which seems to be a theme in the Souls series
>killing Amelia who was preventing night from falling
>killing Rom who was holding the blood moon at bay
I wouldn't say all Hunters are evil, but that you as the main character are doing evil without realizing it
>>343627528
I have brought peace, freedom, justice and security to my Cainhurst Castle.
>>343627847
Amelia wasn't doing jack shit to stop night from falling, that was coincidental, to show game progression
>>343627646
I took those as not statues but actual people who got frozen in agony by whatever happened there, and if not people then the souls of people from the underworld called up and frozen there
Reading Berserk helps
>>343627646
Yharnam was one of the most affected cities by the statue speculative bubble of 20 years prior to the events of the game. When the bubble exploded, the city government (the healing church) bought all the statues so that the statue makers wouldn't go bankrupt. Then they didn't know what to do with them so they sprinkled them around the city.
Now really, the people in Yahar'gul got fused into the walls due to the ritual. The whole place is halfway a Nightmare, with corpses coming out of boxes and werewolves made of legs.
>>343628063
You can't know that any more than I can know that she was holding the night of the Hunt off.
My reasons for thinking that are night falling as soon as she dies (and stops praying) and all of the monster priests kneeling down in defeat once the moon rises
We're both speculating obviously, but you seem to lack imagination
>he thinks that the Vermin are real
>>343628091
>>343628185
Wow Micolash is a dick
I'm stuck on the second layer of the Pthumerian chalice dungeon waiting for someone to be beckoned to fight the three bosses. Anyone in the area?
Lvl 48 btw
So what was the curse of the Orphan about? I can understand the old blood fucking everyone up, but wasn't that due to them digging it up from the old pthumerian labyrinths?
What did the Orphan do to everyone?
>>343628535
He made it so that Hunters go blood-drunk when they imbibe the Blood, cursing them to go mad and attack their friends and family. The Hunters Nightmare is their fate, serving as an eternal army of watchdogs that separate him from any intruders into his Nightmare
>>343628534
As is the first chalice dungeon? That one isn't an issue, just play the game and come back later if you're struggling. Chalices aren't affected by going over to NG+.
Not trying to start a shitposting war, but could anons post their BB yellow face memes? I need to bulk up my collection please and thank you
What do you think From and Japan Studio's second PS4 collaboration be, /v/?
>>343628939
I just suck against multiple bosses at the same time. I needed help with the Shadows of Yharnam, for example.
>>343628534
Make a password and post it, I'll join you
>>343622527
>>343629050
Bloodborne.
Thier third collaboration however is a mystery.FUCKING LORAN DARKBEAST, JESUS CHRIST HE'S IMPOSSIBLE KILL ME NOW I CANT TAKE THIS
>>343630034
Wait what was the first then?
>>343630034
He's literally the same fight as Paarl. If you can beat Paarl, you can beat him
Also, this is your daily reminder that Paarl was Djuras third assistant
>>343630263
Demons Souls.
>>343630353
He has obscene amounts of HP, I do 1000+ on a quick combo and there's barely a dent in his health bar. Plus Paarl fell apart like a house of cards if you hit his legs, Loran takes about 6 casts of Executioner Gloves to the face to fall over, and recovers his lightning powers 3x as quick.
Plus every single attack either one-shots me or puts me in critically low health. If he jumps as I open the door I'm dead, I don't think it's possible to avoid bevause he tracks you mid-aid and legs/torso land at different times so I-framing through it is seemingly impossible.
I don't think I can do it, I need to get 50ish hits on him without making a single mistake or dying due to the shit camera (even locked off, for example if your under him and he charges his AOE you have to guess which direction isn't obstructed by his legs).
>>343629160
I beat the first dungeon set already. But thanks anyway.
>>343630836
Cool, do post it though if you need a partner. You incited me to go back down there and it turns out the boss I was avoiding was just another bloodstarved beast
>>343630804
It sounds like you need more HP. For depth 5 chalices, 45-50 VIT + HP runes is virtually non-negotiable
>>343630804
>DeS
>PS4
oh shit nigger what the fuck are you doing
>>343630804
>Demons Souls.
He said PS4 collabs, not Sony collabs in generalunless you're saying Demon's Souls has been confirmed for PS4 because please god please
>>343631231
If that's what he were saying, then it would have been released before Bloodborne.
That's not what he's saying, he's just a pedantic idiot.
>>343631153
Don't tell me what to do
>>343631443
>10 vit
>12 end
>Plus every single attack either one-shots me or puts me in critically low health.
Good fuck
>>343624528
Because you can't or you just enjoy co-op?
>>343624145
He's probably the best casual filter I've ever seen. Not directly insulting you btw anon but that's just how I see Gascoigne, he teaches you everything you need to know about boss fights.
>>343624145
Stay close to him and dodge towards him so he won't shoot you.
>>343632039
He's doing it for the arc scaling off tools and shit12 end is also viable. 10 vit, not so much
>Byrgenwerth
>Lecture Building
>Upper Cathedral Ward
>Castle Cainhurst
Why are the most interesting areas in the game all short as fuck?
>>343632293
because fuck you
>>343631443
Just fuck my stats up, senpai
>>343632243
I solo'd Depth 5 Cursed, Rotted and Fedid Amycadala to get my Cursed Abysmal Noirishing gem with this build. I'll get Loran Darkbeast, but not today.
>>343632243
No reason no to go into the hundreds to upgrade vitality at least.
If it's a worry about staying in range for PvP that's a myth, in all of these games you can find PvP into the 200s and beyond
>>343632497
Not random PvP, at 90ish you can still invade in late-game areas with people just trying to finish the area and cause Shenanigins.
If I was to level up to 120 I'd put another 29 points in Arcane because the spells never stop scaling and some even scale better from 70-99 than they do 50-70 (and much, much better than pre 50).
>>343632052
I do enjoy co-op but all they really do is take away any sort of challenge. Might start to invade and kill other players soon.
>>343632293
Couldn't even beat Upper Cathedral Ward desu. Couldn't handle the arcane brainsuckers.
>>343632293
Fuck Upper Cathedral Ward. I lost so much goddamn insight there until I figure out how to bait the brainsuckers properly.
*brrrrrraaaaaappp*
oops sorry ;)
T-thanks for the pc port...
>>343633015
>>343633032
Brainsuckers are easy once you figure out that thrust damage absolutely wrecks them.
Also protip mash the shoulder buttons and you can escape from the grab fast enough to only lose 1 insight.
>>343633161
NEVER EVER
>>343633015
Thrust weapon or bolt paper. Also, as much of a meme Tonitrus is, it works great at times like that
>>343633212
The problem was that when you finally got free of their grasp, they'd use arcane to paralyze you and grasp you again. I had to kill them before they could respond but my saw cleaver was a weak as fuck piece of shit. I'm now using the axe.
>>343633375
Axe is incredible, but it doesn't do thrust damage so you'll want something that can for the brainsuckers.
>>343633496
Church Pick is probably your best choice since it stunlocks them so well and does great damage.
>>343633161
>tfw I bought a PS4 just for Bloodborne and I would without a doubt buy it again if it got a PC port
It'sNEVER EVERgonna happen though since Sony own the rights to it.

>>343634202
You can cheese em pretty easy with oil urns and molotovs, otherwise just kite them around the staircase until you can take them on 1v1.Or if you'd put up a password I'd be plenty happy to help out.
>>343633589

>>343634202
git gud
What's a good build to faceroll through this game? I've had the game for quite a while but never finished it. Now i want to start all over again and finish the story but i'm a shit player so i'll need a good build.
I've heard Ludwig's Holy Blade was good, but what kind of build?
>>343634383
But stacking 32.6% thrusting gems on pick so you can beast pellet and stack clawmark runes for 10k+ viscerals and stupid charged damage in transformed mode.
>>343634720
25/25 with holy blade will get you retarded damage compared to most other weapons. Push it to 50/50 if you want to kill bosses in <10 hits
>>343633375
>>343634202
Try the Ludwig's Holy Blade, it's charged R2 is pure thrust and probably the most damaging attack in the game with how OP thrust damage is, it makes staggerable bosses trivial
Also it's a giant sword
Just don't say you avoid using it due to memes like "easy mode," "too slow," or "memesword" etc
>>343634828
I don't remember how weapon upgrades work in BB.
Will i need to upgrade my Holy Blade through a certain upgrade path? Or just leave it as it is?
>>343634921
The Ludwig blade isn't available in my shop.
>>343634950
25/25 strength and skill for stats I mean. Just upgrade it normally and stick physical damage gems in it.
>>343634950
No, there aren't paths just upgrade it as high as you can. The gems are where your "paths" come in, see >>343635124 for that sword
>>343635007
You have to kill the Bloodstarved Beast in Old Yharnam. After that you go back to the Oedon Chapel where that old legless fuck draped in red is, and a new door will be open to you. Go through there and you'll find a chest with the badge you need to buy that sword.
>>343635007
How far into the game are you? You have to have killed the Bloodstarved Beast iirc, then a door within Oedon Chapel will open. The badge to unlock ludwig's in the shop is located in the area it opens up.
>>343634828
>>343635124
>>343635420
Ok thanks.
Also, my previous run (that i didn't finish) was completely blind. But now i've already seen most spoilers so i'm not gonna go blind again. Is there anything i need to make sure i don't miss out on in the game in order to get the full story experience?
>>343635667
http://zkjellberg.github.io/bloodborne-cheat-sheet/
This has all the various NPC encounters and missable stuff listed by zone without spoiling too much else in the game.
It's either your salami leg, their salami leg, his salami leg, or Carl's shoes

>>343636318
>moon drawn IN FRONT OF the clouds
wow way to fuck up guys, that shit is drawing 101
>>343635979
Thanks, exactly the kind of thing i was looking for
>>343635667
Eeeeh, since you've asked for spoilers, once you find the Healing Church Workshop (through the door in Oedon Chapel that unlocks affter killing the Bloodstarved Beast) you need to go down until you're in a big circular shaft leading down further.
From where you enter this room turn immediately left and walk off the plank that sticks out, if you chose the right one you'll land safely and reach a platform with an enigmatic door, go through that.
You'll find an umbilical cord there, you need to find three of them and use them. The other two you can gain through interacting with the whore you meet down the Cathedral Ward side street as long as you send her to the Oedon Chapel, and another woman you'll meet eventually inside the clinic where the game starts, head back there from time to time until you witness a scene where you feel like maybe you should just put her out of her misery. I'm not sure what's required for this.
>>343636406
that's no moon
>>343636318
>Old Yharnam, Cainhurst and Forbidden Woods don't change at this part
Fucking lazy-ass devs.
>>343624528
I beat him single singlehandedly while drunk. Git gud and lrn2parry
>>343636970
This annoyed me so much. I can understand Cainhurst not being affected since its a gorillion miles away from anything but the only places which had the blood moon were Central Yharnam, Cathedral Ward (Both Lower and Upper), and Yahar'gul. Not even fucking Hemwick changes.
>>343636970
Why would they? The mensis ritual is causing the MP to descend on downtown Yharnam, not the entire world
>>343637268
The sun changing in Dark Souls 3 feels like they learned their lesson after the underwhelming moon change in BB. It changes every area in daylight and gives everything a strong orange glow instead of just a different skybox.
>>343627316
so the shadows of yharnam just melt at this point?
>>343615578
Gascoigne's musky crotch
>>343637325
>not the entire world
Something that messes up the skyline like that would be visible for hundreds of miles. Every area in the game outside of Hunter's Dream, Hunter's Nightmare, the Lecture Hall and both nightmare zones is connected via a short walking distance. It should be visible everywhere in the game outside those places I listed.
>>343637565
They melt at any point.
It's a smelly smelly smell that smells....... Smelly
>>343627316
This reads like you let other people's advice ruin your playthrough.
>>343637565
Seriously having a +10 weapon at Shadows of Yharnam is so overpowered it's upsetting
>>343615578
It's the smell of melted plastic as the PS4 has to burn with the heat of a thousand stars just to play this game at 30 FPS.
>>343637719

What would a Bloodborne 2 be about ?
>>343642718
Another outbreak. FROM would reuse the "cycles" concept from Souls, which was already hinted at with the Chalice Dungeons.

looking at DaS2, I'd say: LOL beastly scourge again! all you did was in vain!
>>343642859
And yet Byrgenwerth was all about hoarding insight to ascend
>>343642889
get a heavy weapon. hit it with a transformed R2 and hope he staggers. if he does, the fight is over
>>343642983
yes, but willem didn't want to do it in an "ASAP right now GO!" kinda way, like laurence or mensis
>>343642891
well on the bright side , with bloodborne you can just have a different nightmare
could have been the same with demons souls > dark souls but whatever dark souls was shit anyway
>>343643127
He was impatient enough to attack the hamlet
>>343643336
i don't think he knew what he was up against.

brb, thinking...
>>343643762
Look at the hunt mob, they have bandages over their eyes.
>>343643589
When you get the beast scourge, it shows up in the eyes first, so I guess they're concealing it? Or maybe their eyes hurt due to the transformation. It's basically a symptom of the scourge in any case.
>>343643916
I don't see how he's hard. Yeah he'll fuck your shit up if you're not careful but every boss does that.
>>343644190
Because he demands you actually learn the game
So thats problematic and dark souls 3 needs to be dumbed down because of it
>>343643762
does this count ?
>>343639207
>>343624528
Gascan is super easy if you use the Hunter's axe, and spin2win heavy r2.
That, or use the terrain to keep your distance. (or you could git gud at parrying)
>>343622527
git gud
>>343644986
git memed on
>>343639207
Too late
>>343644898
All of Bloodborne is super easy if you use the Hunters Axe R2
>>343645136
never used the axe yet. what's so good about it?
How would one keep the Bloodborne IP fresh, anons? In the event of a sequel, that is.
Because I fucking love the werewolf/eldritch/alien/ and "hinted vampirism" in the vilebloods.
>>343645231
He just told you fucking retard
>>343645235
you don't. you do something new, maybe in the same universe. look what happened to dark souls.
>>343645235
You don't, idiot.
>>343645317
if you don't have something to say, don't butt in. didn't mommy tell you that?

Why is it that you cannot perceive the Doll with 0 insight?

Neck yourself nigger
>>343645520
But they were stale, and that's the problem
>>343645520if they combined DaS2's mechanics with 3's world, it would've been
>>343645136
Not all of Bloodborne, but yes. This is mostly true.
Of all the bosses though, the Hunter's Axe R2 cripples Gascoigne's difficulty the most.
>>343645231
two handed R2 knocks Gascoigne off his feet, making the first form trivial. It pushes Werewolf form back too (it does this to some other bosses as well).
>>343623508
does it really take people that long t5o finish these games?
i beat Bloodborne in about 10 hours and Dark souls 3 in about 13
>>343645231
Literally easy mode
I had a friend of mine who finished the base game (no chalice,no DLC) at SL 190 and the only attack he ever used was 2 handed R2 the entire game
>>343645640
so it has a knockdown. nice. gonna try it out sometime. >>343645625 see >>343645640 that is how you properly answer a question

just parryGascoigne and you win

>>343645406
What monsters are there to go into in the Bloodborne franchise that haven't been covered? Granted, I'd love more/super vampires but they even covered fishmen ala black lagoon in the dlc. So maybe a different strain of the scourge, in a far off land? Plenty of talk of foreigners and evidence that being close to certain great ones curses you with different plagues (see Byrgenwerth flymen, fish village mermen, Ebriatas brainsuckers?, forest snakemen? [no great one there though....]
>>343645235
Bloodborne is my favorite game of the past decade, but if I had a say in the matter; no sequel.
Fromsoft and Miyazaki are great at that initial spark. Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne are all amazing in terms of ingenuity, creative worlds, story and gameplay. They're also good at DLC, but one thing they're awful at is sequels.
Dark Souls 2 and 3 lacked the creativity the other three had, they're completely soulless an uninspired. I'd be worried they would fuck up "Bloodborne 2" the same.
>>343645992
I'd be interested in the stuff that happened around the founding of the healing church. kinda covered in the DLC, but I want to expierence an undistorted version of the events. not in a dream or altered by people and stories. kinda like the dlc, but not in a disjointed nightmare, but actually there
Where the fuck do you get the pyramid head helmet
>>343645992
how about the whole thing about the ashen blood/old yharnam. sorta like a prequel
>>343645235
The East.
"Garb of a distant Eastern land, worn by Yamamura the Wanderer.
This Eastern warrior pursued a beast for honourable revenge, then became a hunter of the League. But when he stared straight into impurity, it drove him mad."
>>343645520
They're okay mechanically, but the unique feeling of Dark Souls 1 with the whole world, setup and the lore is mostly gone by 3.
This wasn't a problem when going from Demon's Souls to Dark Souls even though the two are extremely similar with game mechanics.
>>343646382
complete alfreds questline or kill him at any later point in his quest
>>343645235
What the other anons said, but if you had to I would want them to go super hard on the steampunk aspects. Maybe some cultists are using technology to stand on equal footing ad the great ones for some reason or other
>>343646165
I'm inclined to agree in the fear that a sequel would fuck it up.
Counterpoint: but hunting tho
Further rebuttal: quickstepping and trick weapons
>>343646165
I think Dark Souls II had bigger problems with game mechanics, level design and that kind of thing rather than concepts. The world is definitely designed very differently from Dark Souls 1, mainly to the benefit of the atmosphere and style but mostly executed so poorly it's just jarring.
>>343645718
The fuck are you doing, rushing the shortest possible path to completing the game like a speedrunner? Take your time, slow down, find the secrets and optional areas, and read item descriptions. Try and figure out what's going on without having to consult ecelebs or /v/ and try your hand at pvp
>>343646673
>Maybe some cultists are using technology to stand on equal footing ad the great ones for some reason or other
that doesn't sound half bad, but why not go even further into the future. cyberpunk. imagine deus ex, but with legit great ones and shit still present and respected
>>343646165
I was about to post this.
There is no point in fixing what is not broken in the first place. I think the only thing I would like to add is anything they rushed due to Sony pushing the game.
>>343622665
Every character he voices is just Yosuke in my mind.
It's going to be weird as fuck hearing his Spiderman.
WEEBS ALL OVER THE SHOP
>>343645520
I wouldn't say they're necessarily bad, but they're not great like the other three.
Part of the allure of these games are mysteries of the all new world you're plunged into, discovering truths. Nothing will feel as epic as it did in the first game.
>>343646846
Well Dark Souls 2 and 3 are two sides of a different coin. You're right that the level design of 2 is awful, I hated the lifegems as well, and that you could clear an area if you killed enemies enough.
Dark Souls 3 fixed most of the mistakes of Dark Souls 2, while committing even worse errors. It was creatively bankrupt. All in all, the world and story of Dark Souls 2 is better than 3. (Gameplay-wise, 3>>>2 though)
>>343643589
One of two reasons, from what I've gathered. Either they've suffered some physical injury (Durja's case) or it's representative of no longer requiring physical eyes due to insight. Keep in mind, the standard uniform of the Choir involves a cap with a visor designed specifically to obstruct your vision.
>>343623008
Micolash accomplished exactly what he set out to do. It wasn't too healthy for Yharnam, but he was just happy as a clam until you came along.
