So I made an Arcane character because I really want to use that Holy Moonlight Sword but apparently it's more of a STR weapon?
I've already invested like 30 points into ARC
>>143634546

>Thought I could rally health back before getting killed.
Give me another shot at that
I love the ned kelly helmet, but I feel like we needed at least one tuetonic knight helmet in this game
something like this, only with tentacles instead of horns or something.
I'll never get the Bloodborne shaped hole in my heart filled.
>>143635195
I know this feeling. I've been playing constantly for almost a week now.
Made a Str/Arc build, a Str/Dex, a Dex/Blood, and now I'm trying out a Str/Blood/Arcane thing.
>tfw your husbando runs away from you and awoos~ other hunters
Are the Chalice Dungeons actually worth doing?
I'm coming to the end of my first playthrough (haven't gotten/done the DLC yet but I plan to)
I've heard the layouts are pretty bad, which turns me off of them, but all the extra bosses seem like they would be fun
Mostly I just need to know if they're super long or anything
>>143635458
Only if you want the platinum or are interested in overpowered gems. They're not terribly long if you follow the guide, but they can be hard.
>tfw no hug doll gesture
>>143635519
I just hate the idea of missing out on extra bosses really
thou seeketh Blood Echoes does thou not? Then touch thesemen inside me.
>>143635364
I feel like Micolash was supposed to scare or intimidate me but instead he came off as a big autistic nerd who went "WOOHOO" while jumping in portals and nasally talking about his favorite Star Trek alien Kos
And then I stunlocked him to death in a corner while demanding his lunch money and his voice cracked while he shouted "NO, I DON'T WANNA WAKE UP AND GO TO SCHOOL"
>>143636016
>I feel like Micolash was supposed to scare or intimidate me
I don't think this was ever the intention.
>>143636016
Not every boss needs to be scary or intimidating.
So I plan on using the Uncanny Boom hammer and go full physical with blunt gems and plan to PVP
For now I'm level 82, aiming to stop at 98
My stats are 44/13/50/12/6/7
Should I invest more in Vit or End? Should I go with Arcane past 10 so I can use a Wheel?
>>143634385
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GugzLSbOQE
>>143636204
Get vit to 50, end to at least 15, maybe a little bit more because hammah. If you have spare stats still, then get the 10 arc for wheel. Its always handy to have a backup option.
>>143634385
Anybody got any tips for Lawrence?
>>143636016
you're a fucking fool and I'll tell you why.
Micolash's fight is supposed to feel like a hunt; you're chasing your elusive quarry, trapping him, and then moving in for the kill
He says it himself "a hunter is a hunter even in a dream''
>>143636165
Okay that's an unfair comparison
>>143636016
If you thought that Micolash was supposed to scare you you've got an interesting sense of horror.
I just thought it was a memorable fight because of how silly it was, love it because of that
>>143636614
Hey man, I just figured, it's the end of the game and I'm in another plane of existence literally called a nightmare and this is the dude behind it all
I just figured he wouldn't be so funny
>>143635519
I won't find over powered gems unless I got into Isz or another depth 5 right?
>>143636436
Don't fight him are my two cents
It's now striking me that there's probably a good number of people who killed Wetnurse, woke up, and said "that's the end of the game, job well done"
I don't know man I don't think I could accept Wetnurse as a final final boss, seems so anticlimactic
>>143634098
Always name them after ff characters.
>>143636778
I just feel like beating every boss.
Seems silly to buy the game any the DLC to skip bosses.
>>143634098
I always name my characters stupid shit like Dunder because naming them real things feels too tryhard
>>143636967
I was kidding but I hate the fight
>getting completely TRASHED from Amelia
>think "fuck it", slap on a fire buff on my cleaver and stop trying to attack her from behind
>literally fucking wreck her shit
Holy fuck, I genuinely thought this boss was going to make me take a break from the game but I finally did it bros.
How is Ludwigs Holy Blade btw? I've leveled it up to +4 nowbecause it looks cool as fuck and has decent scaling
>>143632856
How did it take you 10 tries? Did you do a SL1 run:?
>>143637363
Ludwigs is easy-mode when you have enough strength for scaling
>>143637427
>tfw you don't need to do shit when you can have Alfred continuously riposting BSB to death
BSB is melting wax in his hands
>>143637363
It's the Dark Sword of Bb
Only not boring
>>143637363
Beast blood pellets do the same kind of thing but it straight up feels like cheating.
I was having trouble with Ebrietas, died more on that boss than any other in the game.
Took one beast pellet and ruined the thing.
>>143637684
>>143637754
>>143637608
>easy mode
Fuark, how easy? I wanted to use it but if it completely ruins the game like Dark Sword then fuck that. Dark Sword made every boss in DS3 feel like a joke.
What's OP about it? Speed wise the trickster moveset is relatively slow and actually requires timing unlike the darksword?
>>143637854
It isn't a big deal, I used it on my first build and t felt fine.
You do you, don't level up every second time you could if you want to keep it challenging, buy lanterns instead
>>143637854
It's just a straight up, uncomplicated, all-around good weapon.
All the other weapons are some crazy half-gun half-whip shit that makes you do spins or something but Ludwig's is just a sword with good scaling and a good moveset.
The two-handed form can also stagger the shit out of any enemy as long as it's not a boss or the size of a house.
>>143637854
Amelia really hates fire. LHB sort of is easy mode, but I wouldn't call it Dark Sword tier. Its mainly seen as op since it has solid scaling and throwing a lot of str/skl into it makes it hit ridiculous numbers. Tbf though, almost anything can be made op with the right stats/gems. You won't get the ridiculous phantom range if you ever pvp'd with it that dark sword has either.
>>143637854
>>143638002
For reference, it's the same type of reason people say longsword is the best weapon in DaS2.
It's not like it has the highest damage potential or does something crazy, it's just the only weapon that will always be the same amount of good in every situation.
>>143637994
>buy lanterns instead
w-what?
>>143638002
>>143638080
Fair enough, i'll use it for now and see if it makes the game too easy like the Dark Sword did.
Where is the fc today?
>>143638271
He's telling you to buy hand lanterns from the shop instead of using your echoes to level.
I'm telling you not to do that because that's dumb.

>>143638726
You only need to buy 1 but you can buy 100 of them anyway. It's just a joke anon.

>>143639050
Hard to choose, all of them are as amazing and phenomenal.
But I guess maybe few tracks especially comes to mind; Heimwich bitches theme,Micolash's theme, and I'm in love with Omen/Bloodborne/The Night Unfurls (credits/trailer/start menu music)
>>143639050
I like the Moon Presence theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikWGbtXIBr4
the shift between the sweet singing and the intense choir wailing fits the duality of the moon, being a nightmare disguised as a dream, blood hiding beneath water.

what are your stats? you plan to twink?
>>143634651
that's fine for an executioner tipe build (to use the executioner gloves)
now just spend literally every other point in strengh (until bl 98). don't go over 30 vitality or stock endurance.
you need at least 50 strengh.
good luck, fellow executioner
>>143641856
Nah, I just want my weaponfu early as I can.
>>143641667
I'll ring and do my best.

>>143643442
I'll be there in a sec
>>143641667
>20 Vit
Nigger next time you're running for an end-game weapon early go 30 Vit before touching your offensive stat. Being able to tank some hits and doing less damage is worth far more than doing slightly more damage and dying like a bitch whenever the boss looks at you.
Whoops, I didn't consider the possibility of it being NG+
Sorry Jeanne I don't think i'll be of much help there
>>143643481
Btw that was NG++. You gonna re ring?
>>143643719
Do you want me to? I don't think there's much I can do there.
>>143643793
Sure do it. It's just for the funfactor anyway.
>>143643840
Sure, why not then? At least i'll get a bunch of echoes from it.
Just lemme swap my gems to something with a higher upgrade level real quick.
>cursed nourishing abyssal with + atk vs beasts and increased stamina costs on my first amygdala kill
That was fun, Jeanne. Thanks for that.
How many Echoes do you have now?
>>143644698
Around 100k
For an Arc leaning StrArc build is Normal or Lost better for the HMS?
>>143645058
depends on how much effort you want to put into farming nourishings
>>143644698
So what's a good HMLS build for someone who wants to stay in tricked form?
I was thinking something like 40/18/25/12/-/40?
>>143645294
Man, I shat myself when that happened.
>>143645482
Strike that, I just realized the build editor wasn't set to CF.
How about 40/18/25/20/-/40?
How's the famygdala arm in pvp? Thinking of using it as a secondary to my pizza cutter.
>>143645647
Worse then the cutter imo.
How the fuck do you deal with Paarl
It's so fucking thing I can't hit it, the lingering hitboxes on its swipe make it ridiculously difficult to dodge its moves, and everything it does one shots me at 25 vit with bolt resistant gear
>>143646113
Mm yeah, the follow up slashes from the tendril in the tricked form are kinda weird. Really not sure which weapon I want to +10 next.
Does the whirligig make every other strength weapon meaningless?
A build with only one worthwhile weapon sounds boring as fuck.
>>143646521
Does the Saif make every other skill weapon meaningless?
>>143646597
Yes
>>143646339
Don't lock on. Attack its legs.
>>143646631
Well, there's your answer.
Bloodborne only has 3 viable weapons at most anyway.
>>143646687
But I can't even get close enough to attack its legs because it just keeps spamming out swipes in front of itself
And even if I do manage to get a hit in on the legs, it'll just start doing the explosion in the middle of my attack animation, which leaves me with not enough time to get away
>tfw still can't get over how bad the farming system is in this game
What were they thinking bros?
>>143646702
>Bloordborne only has 3 viable weapons at most
Bet you I could name 4
>>143646895
which one exactly
>>143646971
>blood vials need to be farmed
>fuck up one boss fight/encounter and waste to many vials = go through 2-3 loading screens each time you decide to farm for vials
>rinse and repeat until you reach 20/20 vials
It's fucking atrocious. They should have either had the "reset the whole area when you touch the lantern" or given you estus's that regenerate each time you go to Hunters Dream. The system they have no is the most cancerous and poorly designed system i've seen in any Dark Souls game to date.
Someone wants to do Gastle Gainhurst with me?
>>143646761
Also, tried to watch some videos on how to deal with him and it's all level 50+ players with +6 weapons that just facetank all of his moves and knock him down in 3 hits while I'm doing maybe 100 damage a hit to him at most
>>143647089
it's not that bad when you start farming lecture hall m8
>>143647089
The system is designed to punish failure with tedium and motivate you to get better.
It seems to be doing its job.
>>143646702
The most viable weapon isa skilled player.
>>143647089
>blood vials need to be farmed
This was never a problem for me even in my first playthrough, and even then you can get 20 in a single 5-minute run. The only people who suffer from this are just bad.
>go through 2-3 loading screens each time you decide to farm for vials
1 if you stock up on bold marks.
The only thing i'll agree on you with is that touching the lantern should respawn enemies just to cut the load time. That shit does get annoying when i'm farming shit like twin stones in the gaol.
Other than that you're just bad m8.
>>143647089
the fuck? unless you're dieing a lot you won't need to farm vials, even early game
late game enemies just shit out so many echos it's not even a problem if you die
>>143647207
>>143647213
It's just bad and is artificial difficulty at its finest. Punish me by wrecking my shit until I learn how to deal with the specific mob placement/patterns but don't punish me by making me go through multiple loading screens.
That just makes me want to stop playing out of boredom.
>>143647089
You're making this out to be more extreme than it actually is, killing the wolfbeast in the 1st floor sick room will yield 3 - 5 vials IIRC and there's 10 free QS bullets outside there as well, how well you put them to use is on you, as for farming vials, parry the brick two brick trolls near the lamp for vials.
>>143647089
Before fighting Father Gascoigne you get enough echoes just from exploring to buy 60 or so vials, with those enemies drop you have about 100. And this is the baseline for most areas in the game. Enemies drop vials like candy and you can buy them dirt cheap. If you're having to farm for vials it's your fault for sucking.
Granted I agree it's a pretty poor system. But it's easily avoided by not being total shit.
>>143647268
>artificial difficulty
wew lad here we go
Does bone marrow ash effect the cannon?
>>143647317
What about it isn't? Did you just see /v/'s favorite buzz word and instantly think I was meming? What about going through artifically padded loading screens/farming runs is not "artificial difficulty"?
>>143647358
Yes.
>>143647362
Time to stop posting m8.
>>143647362
Because you're a shitter who can't think up an argument so you resort to spouting buzzwords.
There's no excuse for running out of vials other than just being shit at video games.
>wahhh gimme free healing cuz I can't beat easy bosses
>>143647471
Bloodbornefags really can't criticize their game, can they?
>>143647494
Go back to DaS3 then. It has the free healing you need so badly.
Blood Vials shouldn't even have been farmable in the first place.
Make them limited loot like Humanity or Embers. Something to be used sparingly.
>>143647362
What part of it is? As you've said before it's tedious, but tedium isn't artificial difficulty you memeing fuck.
>>143647531
>free healing
The healing system is infinitely better in DS1/DS3. Bloodborne doesn't even know what it wants to be, it forces you to farm to get your health but in order to do that you have to go through a method that is flat out counter intuitive.
The whole "bro, Estus's are scrubby" argument is false as well when you can (in theory) keep running into Blood vials every minute or so as they get dropped whereas Estus's require actual strategic usage.
"Git Gud" doesn't apply here, the blood vials drop frequently enough that this shouldn't bother many people but the system they have in place (needing to go to Hunters Dream then back to your area) for those that DO need to farm (beginners) is just flat out terrible game design and artifical padding at its finest.

>>143647637
>it forces you to farm to get your health
It doesn't force you to farm to get your health. You're only forced to farm if you suck beast balls.
>>143647802
you will be making enough per run to make the price of them negligible, same for the vials and bullets
>>143647637
You're blaming the game for you not being good. Running out of vials is an absolute non-issue unless you're total shit at video games and quite literally lack the brainpower to figure out bosses within the first couple of attempts so you don't die to them 20 times and run out of vials.
>>143647865
m8 you'll need a bunch of runs to figure out the exact timing to dodge every attack, especially when half of those attacks will kill you in one hit
>>143647865
I'm blaming the game for a shit mechanic.
Explain to me why I need to go to Hunters Dream in order just to reset an area. Go on, i'll wait.
You Bloodborne shills are worse than DS1fags, you literally CANNOT admit when your game has a fundamental flaw.

>Explain to me why I need to go to Hunters Dream in order just to reset an area
Because you should have a stock of bold marks like literally any non-retard should. We've explained this a hundred times but you keep regurgitating the same shit.
>>143647865
Except it doesn't take "20" deaths to run out of vials. Chances are after 2 or 3 failed attempts you'll have run out.
>>143647941
The game has many flaws. Needing to go back to HD to warp to a different area instead of being able to warp from Lamp A to Lamp B is a big flaw. Consumables not refilling upon completing an invasion or co-operation. The way non-vial/bullet consumable refilling works. Just to name three things.
Farming for vials isn't a problem, though, since enemies shit them out like you shit out excuses and you can buy them for practically nothing. The reason farming for them is so tedious is likely because they didn't think anyone would be so shit that they would need to in the first place.
>>143648092
>is likely because they didn't think anyone would be so shit that they would need to in the first place
Then maybe they shouldn't have made every boss spam attacks with wonky hitboxes and extremely short tells that do 80% of your health or more, in a game that averages around 20 fps, making it extremely difficult to actually react to anything.
>>143648179
Well now you're literally just making shit up.

So in order for you to justify the system you need to use a completely different system to counteract it?
Cheers for proving my point senpai
>>143648092
>shit
The games a fucking joke so far, i'm already past that Amelia (who was the only boss to cause me to die so far). Cleric, Father, BSB and some other black "Beast" looking thing with some lightning move all went down on their first try for me.
The game is easily the easiest souls game, even easier than DS3. The issue is the shitty mechanic where I need to go all the way back to Hunters Dream just to reset an area and with those shitty console loading times, that grows irritating far too quickly.
Bloodborneshills are the worst, "git gud" will never be applicable to this game, it's literally "Spam R1 to win" on top of the laughable parry mechanic that rendered BSB and Father Gascoine obsolete the moment I tried it on them.

Ahahahaha you can literally WALK around all of its attacks without getting hit a single time.

If you don't like the game then fuck off or make a thread on /v/ if you want to shitpost. Stop making my bbg uncomfy.

>if you don't like the game
Where di I say I didn't like it you insufferable insecure bitch.
I'm talking about a shitty mechanic that is widely acknowedleged to be shit, a mechanic that you shills defend for literally no reason.

Another fag shitting on how terrible and counter intuitive the system is, it's just laughably designed.
>>143648405
Most of its attacks are indeed a joke, but in its third phase it has a near-instant claw swipe combo that shreds about 90% of your HP in a split second, and also leaves you poisoned, which will typically kill you before you can use an antidote.
I go to sleep and wake up to this garbage.
Who the fuck let /v/ out of its cage?

I'm more concerned about the 100 posts of pure shitposting rather than someone whining about a mechanic.
>>143648280
Weren't you saying last thread that you were liking the game so far? Yeah, farming for vials/echoes to buy marks can be tedious since it halts progress a bit but its still a lot more manageable than what you're making it sound.
t. anon who had to farm 100 vials because he couldn't do shit against Maria.
Holy shit the Gatling Gun is fun as all get out. Just got it for the first time. I'm in love. Does is stagger players in pvp as well as it does mobs?
>>143648658
And I am liking the game, it's pretty great. I just hate when people get defensive for no damn reason.
>still a lot more manageable than what you're making it sound.
It's manageable due to the game not being too difficult so far, that still doesn't excuse how piss poor the whole system was handled.
>>143648751
Yes it's dumb but again, it's not THAT big of an issue because the game just isn't so difficult that you need to constantly grind them.
>>143648501
>widely acknowledged
>a literally who
You're just shit, not once have I had to go and "farm" vials and shit in this game other than dieing to Orphan of Kos like 20 fucking times and by that point it is trivial.
>>143648751
you'll get to the lecture hall and be swimming in echoes soon, then all of this wont mean shit to you
Guys I'm so proud
>>143648751

You've made many blog posts in the past 12 or so hours just whining about the same thing repeatedly. It's not really defensive when people tell you to shut the fuck up.

Have you been to Hemwick yet? That place has a good amount of echoes, vials and bullets. Its pretty farmable too once you get the shortcuts open and know where to go.

It was my own fault for fighting him at SL40 on the first kill but getting 1-shot by bosses makes them significantly harder.

WOW

I'm there right now.The Area is fucking amazing level design/atmosphere wise

Fucking shitters.

Yeah, its a pretty good area. The boss isreally fucking easy once you figure out its gimmick. As in, easier than anything you've already faced

noice lad
>>143649494
The only one I really noticed out of those is Hemwick=Undead Settlement. I never looked that closely when comparing Ds3 to BB but now that I think of it, Archives does line up with Cainhurst a bit. Not that convinced on Gaol=Irithyll Dungeon though
>controller battery dies right in the middle of fighting a group of enemies
Why is the battery life on this thing so trash? It lasts like 3 hours.
>>143649494
THe thing i'm noticing with Bloodborne is just how more narrative heavy it is (for a Souls game). In Dark Souls 3 I think I encountered a handful of NPCs that had something to say whereas Bloodborne is dripping with optional dialogue as well as content.
The games levels just feel significantly more complex as well. I really do see why people loved this game so much last year.
>tfw was meant to complete Witcher 3 so I could get my B&W save ready in time for the 31st

h-help.How long is the Bloodborne DLC and how good is it using Artorias's abyss as a benchmark?
>>143649817
>not having the charging cord permanently on
>>143647089
How do people have so much trouble getting vials? Does no one realize you can buy them at the messenger bath? It's not hard to skip leveling up once or twice to get 30 vials instead.
Now farming for shit like chunks or blood gems really is a load of fucking bullshit.
>>143649849
But then I can't sit at my laptop and shitpost on /bbg/ while playing.

>How do people have so much trouble getting vials?
Read the posts, it's not so much getting the vials but rather just how weak the "farming" in this game is. Sitting through 3~ loading screens just to reset an area is not fun for anyone and fis flat out poor game design.
>get summoned for defiled hotdog
>hotdog decides he wants to charge the instant I press R2
>die like a scrub
do bloodlickers have high blood def?
>>143650160
I think they've just got high defence overall. Not really worth fighting them outside of chalice dungeons
Bros, what clothes is in pic related?
>>143650595
I think that's Old Hunter Hat. Not sure about the rest though
>want to do a HMS + Chikage build
How would this work?
Damn, you really CAN just walk around all of BSB's attacks.
I just killed him on a new file without sprinting, rolling or getting hit once.
>>143650895
With great difficulty. First, it'd depend if you want a strength or arc HMS. Then you'd have to work out how much vit you'd be willing to trade to add to str/arc and blt to make it semi-viable.
>>143651009
How are people struggling with BSB?
I beat him on my first try (along with gascoinge and Cleric) yet Amelia legit rekt my shit for a solid 5-6 deaths (until I fire buffed my weapon and kept stunning her) whereas BSB was ridiculously easy to read, counter and parry?
>>143651265
Not to say i've had trouble with him before of course, but I didn't know he could be THAT trivialized. Usually I just parried him to death.
But my guess is people just play too defensively and keep trying to dodge away and create distance where they get fucked by his combos.
>>143651259
Just using untricked HMS. Could I just go Str/Blt?
>>143651351
Dodging backwards is what fucks people. If you do that you're going to have a very bad time
>>143651609
Yeah, that works a bit better. Might still have to sacrifice some vit to get both stats to a good level, but you can probably get both to at least 40.
why did nobody tell me a pure arcane build is literally easy mode in NG+ onwards. just defeated parl in my first try before amelia.
this shit's easier than NG
Anyone manage to find a Guidance 3 rune yet?
>>143652195
Everything is easymode in NG+. I'm in Ng++ and had to take the gems out of my weapon to have a good fight against Amelia
>>143652195
It kind of makes sense that it'd be easier desu. That'd be the case with most builds. Especially with chalice dungeon gems.
>Already have the stats/gems
Can I get a picture of all the optional content with Bloodborne vs DS3?
>>143649892
It's just a USB anon, plug it into the laptop and charge the controller off that
>>143650595
old hunter's hat, butcher's chest piece, executioner's gloves and possible the executioner legs as well but it's hard to tell.
How do I avoid the Ebrietas' laser shit?
>>143653442

>>143652984
Haven't got an image but I can type it off the top of my head
>Bloodborne
Hemwick
Lecture Building Level 1
Nightmare Frontier
Cainhurst
Upper Cathedral Ward
Chalice Dungeons
Iosefka's Clinic/Abandoned Church Workshop if either of those are worth counting
>Ds3
Smouldering Lake
Consumed King's Garden
Untended Graves
Archdragon Peak
Wouldn't be surprised if I missed any there though.
>>143653746
Wouldn't Old Yharnam be optional as well? As well as Hypogean Gaol
>>143653940
Knew I missed something. Left out Hypogean Gaol since you essentially go there when running through Yahar'gul but I guess there's enough there to add that to the list.
Anyone willing to help out with Ebrietas in Isz?
So far, making an Ayy-Build has felt like a mistake.
Pass: ayy
>>143654123
Yeah you're right but I always go to HG asap to farm up some twin shards. Also, looking at all the optional areas laid out like that makes me realize how much people could miss if they just barreled passed everything without a second glance. It's pretty nice. My first blind playthrough of Bloodborne, which was my first souls game as well, all I managed to miss was the Upper Cathedral Ward. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get into the cage with the key in Unseen Village; not that I knew it was a key. I had just figured the door at the top of the Healing Church Workshop was for some DLC.
>>143654924
