I'm very confused about why Laurence is in the Hunter's Nightmare. He wasn't a hunter. Was he pulled into the Nightmare as a special "fuck you" to the guy in charge of the research?

He doesn't need to be. It's the blood, not the fact of being a hunter, but being a hunter exposes you to the same blood.

He's the father. Oedon fucked Kos.
is it normal to not kill things quickly on Loran chalice? i have the moonlight +9 on my 25STR/50ARC and it took like 4-5 hits to kill one of those shit that looks like the ones from old yharnam
>>123832428
Yes.
Problems with Bloodborne after playing it for a short while:
>have to travel back to the dream to fast travel, doubles loading screen time
>generally being unable to rest at the lantern to reset the enemies in the area for farming
>R2s were made less viable in an attempt to homogenize them as slow, wound up attacks to be used in stealth scenarios, combat becomes more simple
>little reason to do anything other than min/max because weapons so far have mediocre stacking
>bosses getting stronger at the end of the fight can be poorly executed (Blood Starved Beast poison trail, Gascoigne was not even a threat until he transformed)
>health regeneration for retaliating after taking a single hit means you mash on R1 whenever a weak opponent manages to hit you, and cleanly killing minor opponents is no longer encouraged
>fewer ambushes and beginner's traps, walking around in unfamiliar territory feels less scary than in Souls games
>because firearms cause stagger parrying is extremely low risk
>durability was changed to how it was in DaS1, DaS2 implementation was better because durability became a meaningful stat and not an occasional chore
>having to farm blood vials is a minor and unnecessary inconvenience, just give me 10 at spawn and make me worry about my item consumption
So far it's slightly better than DaS2, but a little bit worse than DeS and a lot worse than DaS

Key point was he said "or some say Kosm"
Meaning it's up to people's choice. Like how some say GasQWUAGHN and other people aren't retarded.
>>123832642
only the blunderbuss causes stagger
ludwig's rifle too
also parrying at close range with anything but the blunderbuss is pretty chancy, as you have a high risk of shooting over the opponent's shoulder
and i'm glad durability is once again negligible. fuck that DaS2 shit.
also both the lamp system and the blood vial system are straight from demon's souls, not sure how you could dislike them here while seeming to not mind them in demon's souls

While I agree that that's how his name is said, Eileen says Gas-coin. She's the only way we hear it in-game and we might as well assume she's correct.
Post Butchers
I'm loving this fight with Maria.
It's not really all that difficult, at least, not to the point where I feel like "THAT WAS UNFAIR!" when I die. It's because I fucked up on that dodge, or I overextended and didn't have the stamina to avoid her whole combo, etc.
Trying not to just parry her to death, mostly because it feels cheap and I'm actually enjoying this fight. Especially following the fucking slog that was the Living Failures. Fucking jelly-headed niggers spawning behind me during the meteor shower and OHK'ing me with that fucking headbutt.
Great theme, though. Holy shit everything in the DLC has a GOAT-tier theme.
>>123831763
what's a good level range for the dlc on ng? And is there any new bosses/mobs/stuff in ng+ for both the game and dlc?
>>123833008
If this doesn't work in a minute I'll come down there the hard way. Rang my bell by the way
>>123832642
>cleanly killing minor opponents is no longer encouraged
Why? It's not like you get back more health than an attack takes away. Also durability in DaS2 was annoying.
>>123832642
as far as r2 is concerned its actually one of the best change in BB, you do have to learn how to use it effectively however
as far a ambushes are concerned there are many but if you are a souls veteran its nothing new, like how DaS was pretty safe for DeS players.
Personnaly the best game in the serie by far
How do I open that door right on the beginning of the Latrias Archives?

My pet theory is that he's actually the vermin. It's not so much a single great one as it is an entire race of cosmic parasites sharing some degree of distributed intelligence and will. He's seen as 'formless' because the church lacks the science to properly detect parasites residing within blood, and he represents both blood and voice because the influence that he has on the minds of his host as they're slowly turned into beasts is probably akin to a whisper in their mind.
I wouldn't be surprised if all of the positive effects of the blood are the result of the vermin as well. They probably feed on the old blood and get invigorated whenever they're given a dosage, giving positive effects to their host as a result.
>>123833302
Horrible tracking of every attack and every dash-attack is far too long resulting in simply dashing past the one you're trying to hit because of the shit tracking. It looks super cool and the rolls and dashes look awesome too, but from what i've experienced its pretty shitty.
Advice for an Arc build?

My damage output just... doesn't seem very good. Currently eating shit on Orphan of Kos because my viscerals are worthless and my HMG is basically dealing chip damage (the blasts do around 400). Hunter Trinkets don't seem very effective against him either.
>>123833298
it was initially suposed to be a blt/arcane weapon, specifically an arcane weapon that shoots magical bullets, it waas changed in a patch
Is the beast cleaver good for a str/blt build or is it better for quality?
>>123833192
At fog door ringing.
>>123833082
Where do you get the butcher set, it's the only one I don't have yet
>>123833298
you're a retard
>>123833404
Deepest lore.
>>123833419
Really? that's kinda lame.
>>123833302
It's an upgrade to the worst weapon in the game but the beast claws are still absolute shit, even with the new moveset, and have no pvp value.
>>123832945
Health consumables were horribly implemented in DeS. I understand the design philosophy behind it (make people return to early areas when they run out of health items to see how much stronger they've become), but it's annoying as fuck and had a terrible effect on the game's PVP. I only used the blunderbuss.
>>123833251
>Also durability in DaS2 was annoying
A little bit, but it mattered. It was cool to use a back up weapon for fighting hoards and to pull out something stronger for bosses in my opinion.
And I just said it isn't encouraged to kill cleanly, there's no investment fighting a single weak opponent whatsoever.
>>123833264
>as far as r2 is concerned its actually one of the best change in BB
It's satisfying to use a charged up R2 (especially the explosive one for the stake driver), but R2s not really comboing unless you charge them up limits the moveset.
>>123833302
I looks cool but it's not very good from a practical standpoint, I get better results with vanilla beast claw
>>123833506
I just never really looked at that one weapon specifically. after dealing with the game multiple times and just making a blt/skl character, I assumed it was a skl/blt weapon just like chikage. Mainly because you needed a decent amount of blt to weild it and it shot quicksilver bullets. I never actually looked at its scaling until now.
>>123833501
Yo what room did you get decorative Hunter set? The butcher is behind the melee C'thulu giant before Ludwig.
>>123833302
I got beast form for my beast claw twink, she's ready to go, but cauliflower form was a fun surprise and those goofy quicksteps/roll animations are too cute to not play with.
>>123833663
you're a retard because it is a bt/skl weapon, it can't scale with arc because you can't use elemental gems with it
>>123833490
Ok made it to layer 2. Rang at the lamp
>>123833501
It's in the area where the two fatmen are just before the nightmare church lamp. Hidden within a crevice on the left side coming to the lamp
>>123832642
nice bait
>>123833627
Use something other than the blunderbuss then. If you're close at all to a humanoid enemy the chance of your shot flying over their shoulder is like 90% and you'll be punished severely for it.
>>123833404
Oi m8, thanks for this grand insight of yours
Could use some help with Laurence. Level 100, waiting at the fog gate. Password is rx78.
>>123833539
Yeah. You have no chances against good gank squad in beast form. L2 is lame. But maybe we find the way in some special builds.
>rapid poison

I dropped the big brain in mensis, but when I went down into the dark pit, I couldn't find the damn thing.
Is it really well hidden in the pitch black or did something mess up?
>>123833404
>>123833832
I always saw it as the arcane power of the Blood is due to Oedon, and the Vermin are parasitic hangers-on. If the Blood gets stronger, then the Vermin who thrive therein also do, which is why dropping the Moon and making Oedon horny turns people into beasts
>>123833812
Ringing at the lamp on layer two.
Please work, skill builds aren't build for these bosses. Can't figure out how to visceral.
What's the fastest way to farm chunks in the chalice dungeons?

I'll ring.

>>123833874
What does the moon have to do with Oedon?
Actually now that I think of it, the Moon Presence has blood attacks in its fight as well, what's up with that? It seems weird for multiple great ones to have connections to the old blood.
>>123833957
Groovy. Standing by with Valtr.
>>123832106
>>123833484
The Beast Cutter is a str/skl weapon, but it doesn't scale very well in general. There's only one thing that's good for str/blt, Bloodletter. Well, and the big Powderkeg guns I guess.
>>123833179
I'm doing the DLC right now at level 90 in NG. It's no cakewalk, but it hasn't been a -huge- challenge either. I'd say minimum level is around 60 or so. Still have trouble with a few things at 90, but I also never use the NPC hunters or call other players in to help, so I guess it also depends on how good you are.
>blowing up ganksquads with the fishing hamlet barrels
exploding barrels are retarded, but the good kind of retarded
>>123833870
It's like straight ahead from the elevator.
>>123833940
My bad. I'll ring again if you want
>>123833957
Farm depth 5 boss Brainsuckers or Silverbeasts for easy chunks
>>123834001
That's not what I was saying. You just chose the Drakesword of guns and thought you had the full experience on parrying, or enough experience to talk at all about the parrying. All of the scattershot guns, and there's only three, trivialize the parrying system.
>>123834013
Blood is the essence of Oedon, and it's logical to assume that arcane-powered blood is especially strongly connected to him. We also know that everytime the moon drops, two things happen: oedon knocks up a bunch of women, and people turn into beasts. So, putting facts together, we suppose that
Moon drops -> Oedon gets horny -> him getting riled up riles up the Old Blood -> people turn into beasts
Throw Vermin into the mix, and so conclude that the Vermin grow stronger when the Blood does
>>123834013
"The Old Blood" is literally the blood of Great Ones, like Ebri, Amy, Paleblood, Kos and Oedon.
Imbibing all these different kinds of blood is what turned people into all the different kinds of beast.
>>123834175
Yeah please. Got him to 20%. Queen Killer is a beast.
>>123834160
It's straight up not there, then.
I died on my way to the elevator (threw myself off the ledge, actually). Would that affect it? The brain is dropped but he's not in this goddamned pit.
Why give augur of ebrietas the abilitie to parry if you viceral him because the fucking animation is too long?
Is anyone starting up a new character? I'm gonna make a new character and wouldn't mind playing with someone else.
>>123834175
So I can just keep running the first Isz boss then? Cool. Thanks friend.
>>123832642

>>123834325
Yep. Happy farming!
>>123834418
This makes me wonder:
What do you have on while farming chalice dungeons, /bbg/? I usually have a podcast or episodes of some cartoon or another.
>>123834217
Kos is bloodless and Paleblood is a metaphor. There's no such thing as 'paleblood' it's just a cryptic message telling you the sky is fake.
A blood moon or harvest moon is a certain time of the year when the moon appears red due to science things. It's linked with all sorts of occult stuff and superstitions. The "Paleblood" hint that crops up throughout the game is alluding to the fact that the red moon that's been beckoned by the mensis ritual is being hidden by Rom. Hence it's a Pale Blood Moon, or a "Paleblood sky".
The whole Paleblood thing is just a cryptic way of saying "uncover the truth behind the ritual." There's no actual thing that's paleblood, it's deliberately a misleading play on words.
>>123834226
That's never happened before. Strange
Is there something in the DLC that degrades your weapon durability? I keep having to fix my weapons
>>123834481
My guess is Valtr wasn't frozen by the cutscene and kept swining at Ludwig
Continuing from last thread:
Since the Hunter's Nightmare is meant to be a curse upon sinners, then why are the Research Hall patients present? Wouldn't it be a greater mercy for Maria to put them out of their misery instead of drawing them into the Nightmare, like the Hunters?
>>123834912

>>123834984

>>123834249
It apparently respawns, so dying wouldn't do anything.
>>123834030
I think we'll try without calling Valtr this time, he's just not cutting it.
>>123835312
Why? Can't do PvP without vit and end gouging?
>>123834953
Because the sinners are also mad scientists that took the opportunity to experiment in a pocket dimension with a ready supply of bodies. Maria isn't the host of the nightmare and she can't control who goes in or what.

Twinking at 60 is strange.

>>123835958
No chalices. 5 bosses. The length will depend on how long it takes you to beat them. Took me close to 20, and most of them were spent on the last boss.

He's not protecting her, he's containing her and ensuring no subjects ever come to her service. She's immortal, so obviously smashing her into a pink pulp won't get rid of her. He sacrificed himself to become a sentinel that would forever prevent anyone from ever meeting her. Total containment.
She even admits it when you first meet her; the vilebloods have been utterly destroyed. She has no servants, no minions, and is bound in an iron mask.
He basically shut her the fuck down, until you come along and ruin everything.

They're both the same building on the exterior. We only go to the "Research Hall" section of the non-Laurence one. The other one would presumably have a Lumenflower Gardens area of its own
>>123836609It is.
Although I save a lot of webms too, I just don't repost them.
>>123836464
Get ToH anon. BB is populated and jolly cooperation is everywhere. Pvp is still shit, but the fight clubs are on a new level now. This is the last chance you'll have to play with such a huge player base, because supposedly there's no more DLC or anything planned for Bloodborne
>>123836564
FINE, I'll take those oversized frogs on all by myself. Kos guide me
>>123836564
I tried that and the results were hilarious.
Also amusingly, I used the bone blade on that anchor one that's on the way to the 2nd lantern, after pulling every other enemy on that path to him. He soloed everything and cleared the entire path in the duration of the bone blade. The combined caster, fishmen and dogs didn't even dent his HP before getting flattened.
>>123836318
It could be a Pthumerian city, long since swallowed by the ocean. If their few representatives (Descendant/Elder, Queen Yharnam) are any indication, they were in a similar level of fashion and technology when whatever wiped them out did so.
>>123836318
Yeah, that's why one of the Hamlet's slug ladies falls from the sky before Ludwig, near the Whirlgig Saw
>>123836674
>read this post
>tfw I don't have PS+
God fucking dammit, why did sony have to hide the entirety of BB's multiplayer mode behind some ridiculous paywall.
>>123836464
If you like Bloodborne then I would say definitely go for the DLC
It's very well made and great fun
You can co-op later if you don't like pvp as much, as it's very active right now
You can also make new builds now and have fun in the main game with the new weapons

>>123836476
Still ringing. You asked for a meatshield, well that's not my. I'm a squishy assassin. But still. I AM A RINGING, YOU GONNA ANSWER?
>>123836729
It's literally Yharnam, dude. You just stepped out from the roof of a clocktower high above the city, the city is still there beneath you. Just like the clocktower, it didn't go away.
This is what the choir meant by THE SKY AND COSMOS ARE ONE.
>>123836564
>mfw shaman bone blading one of the Giant Sharks in the well
Fucking glorious. If there is ever a time to use that item, that is it.
>>123836696
Funny thing is I used one on the Giant Shark near the well and he got mauled by 2 smaller enemies in seconds. Results may vary.
>>123836729
No, you can even see the larger clocktower jutting out from behind the one we entered the Hamlet throughout by the little village towards the end. The Hunter's Nightmare is below the Hamlet
>you can paper Rakuyo

Worth spending 20 minutes dealing with those giant frog faggots
>>123836842
I'm not the host but yes he's still ringing.
>>123836563
I want a Vileblood DLC pack now, freeing the Queen from her mask and restoring Cainhurst.
Who are the brother and sister that encountered the Eldritch Truth that the Brain Fluid talks about.
>>123836643
but there's only 1 lumenflower gardens in "real" yharnam, it belongs to the Grand Cathedral, and connects to the 2nd cathedral in the Upper Cathedral Ward. This adds a whole second lumenflower gardens to a cathedral that shouldn't exist
>start a new run for beastcutter
>having fun
>get to the One Reborn
>lose any motivation to finish
>>123836838
The fishing village is the root of sin, the clocktower an extension of that sin, and then nightmare Yharnam/River of Blood are the conglomerate minor sins of all the bloodthirsty hunters that strayed from the righteous path?
Dang yo, it's a dimension just chock full of sinnin'.
>>123836132
I was ringing for you, but I'm not getting anything.
>>123836995
Ahahaha. You were blood addled and I have HoH equipped. Hahahahah I should've killed you, scumbag.
>>123835481
>>123835529
>>123835729
I get that, but why not just turn her into a pile of mushy goo and stick her in a box or something? why go out of his way to just prevent people from finding her?
Alfred had the right idea.
>>123837093
>the one reborn is hard
what did he mean by this?
>>123836767
HOLY FUCK that's amazing, thought it dropped from a cliff somewhere.

Laurence
Is there anyone else who prefers "You Hunted" to "Prey Slaughtered"? It's like the difference between "You Defeated and "Victory Achieved". The operative word of "You Defeated" and "You Hunted" is "You". That's the whole point of these games. It's you who overcame the boss, so the text should reflect that. "Prey Slaughtered" and "Victory Achieved" are too abstract for something that should feel congratulatory.
The clock is initially set to Guidance and Beast's Embrace, which then both point down, to the Deep rune.
Do you think it's just a random thing or that tiny detail put in?
>>123837125
keep ringing one sec
>>123833874
>>123834213
>>123834217
people interpret the events of the game (which are literally "nothin more than a bad dream") way too literally, and tend to feature relatively unimportant figures like oedon and ebrietas prominently in theories
i think >>123834873 has the best grasp of what paleblood is. the message in yahar'gul: "Behold! A pale-blood sky!" makes it pretty clear
you could make a case that paleblood is the moon presence because of the note in the nightmare lecture hall, but well, for one thing his blood isn't exactly pale. if he's paleblood it's because of the pale-blood moon he's associated with
in general too much fan theory gives short shrift to moon presence as "a really powerful Great One," but not really as a significant driver of the plot
>>123837048
Laurence.
So does the Bloodletter scale exclusively with blt if you trick it?
>>123837163
>Acts of goodness are not always wise. and acts of evil are not always foolish, but regardless, we shall always strive to be good
Why isn't the Henriett sign before Amelia showing up?
>>123837163
Because mushy goo regenerates and all you need is some blood from her to become a Vileblood? What if some kid accidentally ate it and become Yarhnam 2.0?
>>123837194
"You Hunted" also sounds really awkward to a native English speaker, though.
>>123837304
Do you have insight?
Wait shit, what's the best type of Kos Parasite?
Just found a bath selling all the DLC weapon variants, should I get one?
I already slapped mine up to +9 but I should have enough chunks to do another.
>>123837096
Byrgenwerth sinned in the fishing hamlet, and then the Church sinned again in their research labs -- they seem to have made a backdoor into the nightmare with the astral clocktower, with the hunters as their lackies. maria got sick and tired of this sinning, and set up a nightmare to punish those responsible -- constructed a nightmare version of Yharnam to do so, and sealed off the fishing village to protect the innocents therein
>>123837203
DEEPEST LORE
>>123837340
You mean what if some child wandered into Cainhurst, castle of the vampire lords, and got all the way to the inmost, hidden throne room and decided to eat some squirming pink pulp he found in a locked box in there?
I guess that would be a risk, yes.
>>123837391
I've got 20. Did they move it?
>>123837252
>>123837247
Well that was embarrassing. I'm still ringing if you need me.
Anyone have guides for arcane builds? Looking to get into that wizard action.
>>123837572
no worries. I'm sitting down patiently
>>123837476
why did their hat shrink? whats the lore?!
>>123837252
>Oedon
>Ebrietas
>not prominent
One is the essence of the Blood, and the other is the patron Great One of the church
>overcomplicating things
>lol it was "nothin more than a dream"
your lack of understanding doesn't mean others are being tryhards
>Moon Presence
>driver of the plot
it's an optional bossfight that isn't required to finish the story -- you kill it merely to satisfy the PCs ambitions, not to halt the scourge of beasts. it's involvement in causing the scourge is accidental, and it isn't important in halting the scourge at all
>>123837160
What? Whoever you connected to wasn't me, friendo.
And the boss is dead now.
>>123837063
There's also only one Grand Cathedral in real Yharnam. It's a nightmare.
>>123837289
>says the man right after storming through a castle full of his enemies and slaughtering every single last one of them
face it,He just found his waifu at the last second and couldn't lay a finger on her because he was so awestruck.
>>123837013
Also from what I've gathered, The reason Vilebloods are so 'vile' is basically because their strain of blood is from a completely different source than the ones the church uses. This is why all of the women that have or have attempted to bear the child of a great one have been connected to that bloodline (Yharnam, Annalise, the whore). Their blood is from a different great one, so it can interbreed. I think this is why blood dregs look like sperm. To the vilebloods, the church's blood is essentially sperm. The Church hates them because it's a dangerous strain of blood entirely outside of their control that might start shitting out a pantheon of abyssal gods any second and violate their monopoly on eldritch truths. Annalise is trying to get knocked up on blood dregs precisely to bring this about. Ironically. she's the only one that wasn't chosen by the great ones to bear a child.
A great one can't breed with itself. They haven't really been breeding with humans so much as using their bodies as surrogate incubators.
>>123837716
there are 2 cathedrals in Yharnam, one in the normal Cathedral Ward, and one in the Upper Cathedral ward. the Nightmare version of Yharnam connects the lumenflower gardens to the wrong one
>>123837252
This is a good point. Even Lovecraft was very specific about his mythos not being some concrete pantheon of gods and whatnot, but just a vague and inconsistent narrative tool to be bent as his writing saw fit. People trying to tease out some precise science to the influence and natures of each of the gods are missing the forest for the trees.
>>123837720
they were impure, he executed the women by the look of the ghosts, not like he was torturing people or something
>>123833404
i like this theory.
>>123837192
>>123837269
Is there anything to indicate that?
>>123837646
Still ringing by lamp. Not getting anything.
So after trying to have the moonlight on an 50 ARC/ 25STR make it work i can say i failed
the charge attack and the L2 don't do enough damage to justify it
you can do more damage smaping the R1 like idiot
sigh....now i don't know what the fuck to use until kos parasite
>>123837904
Laurence is probably a choir member, since he holds the key to a bunch of choir research labs in the Nightmare
>>123837939
gonna get out of the zone, then come back
I know I've asked this a few times before, but does anyone have any decent Maria sliders for character creation, or at least a picture of their face for clear reference?
I really want to do a Maria / skill build but this is the only thing holding me back
Is the wet nurse classified as a beast? I had a cursed gem that gave -10% damage to beasts on my weapon and I was doing much less damage than usual against her. I actually had to swap mid-fight because my +10 amygdala arm was hitting for like 200 even.
>>123836403
Yeah.
Laurence down, next stop Orphan of Kos.
>pwmf22gu watchers now drop radiant blood gems
>>123838076
Check the last thread. Someone posted a large image of Maria's face at different angles.
>>123838083
Wet Nurse is a great one, but isn't classified as Kin
Should a create a trap character?
(White haired + Knight wig + Maria set)
Full skill because he would be faggot.
>>123837804
This is incorrect.
Also, you realize Upper Cathedral Ward is directly above Cathedral Ward right? The one in normal Cathedral Ward and upper Cathedral Ward are the same Cathedral. Unless you mean the Orphanage, which isn't the Grand Cathedral and looks nothing like it. Only connects to it
>>123838076
I think you'll have to pioneer it yourself, friendo. Load up a good screenshot of her face and set to work.
>>123838141
>Radiant
Pfft.
>>123833302
ayylien is cooler in all honesty.

>>123838212
This was a pretty awesome cinematic. I think the only cine they didn't really need was Laurence's; Orphan, Maria and Ludwig all had pretty awesome intros.
>>123838004
This doesn't really answer my question.
There's also nothing to indicate the research hall in the Nightmare is the Choir's. We'd probably see a choir set somewhere or a brainsucker or two. The Choir developed from the Failures of the Research Hall, assuredly.
>session lost
>>123838212
This made me feel really sad. then he started crying right after. This was a really good scene.
Just read a little bit on the lore, basically Ebrietas is neutral?
Till the current timeline has anybody learnt of the eldritch truth?
>>123837363
That shouldn't matter.
>>123838360
the statues on the Surgery Alter wear choir gear
>>123837729
So they're like the Pthumerians.
Is anyone having problems on images loading?
>>123838212
Why does a pile of flesh and bones come out with him?
>>123838404
I'm pretty sure,Vamos, the 2 dollar mic warrior, learnt the truth
