Recently bought BB after playing DS3.

Going in blind, but just wanted some advice. At what sort of time will I expect to find a solid STR based weapon? Assuming first time progression? Don't want to end up without a good weapon for a long time because I missed a treasure early on.

>>144512587
Depends a little on which one you made. Anything from a light stroll in the park to complete and total hell.

The starting Axe is a Str weapon and literally one of the best weapons in the game.

Because people are retards and lot of that noise comes from mustards whose only knowledge of BB consists of watching 15 minutes of random let's play.

Are scaling gems just completely fucking useless or what?
>>
>>144526482
Pretty much.

Apparently maxed out STR scaling gems are worthwhile, but you have to spend a lifetime or two farming for them. Doesn't seem worth the trouble to me.
>>
>>144526482
Cold abyssals (arc) and Heavy abyssals (str) are very good with the right stats but anything else is garbage.
>>
>>144526482
They are unless they're str or arc abyssals, which drop from layer 3-4 depth 5 frc bosses. Those are amazing boosts to your ar.
>>
>>144525469
Why ? The scalling is horrible.
>>
Gotta admit I'm a little bored of DS3. I want to take a break and get all the trophies for BB.

How hard are the chalice trophies alone?

>>144528604
>How hard are the chalice trophies alone?
Not much except for a few bosses.
>>
>>144528670
I heard the "hardest" one is Dala and due to cut HP it's a OHKO fest.
>>
>>144528728
Amygdala can OHKO you with most of his moves, but you can always cheese him easily.
The ones that gave me trouble are watchdog, pthumerian descendant and bloodletting beast, but I memorized them because I constantly get summoned for them.
If you get stuck post a pass.
>>
>>144529065
I'm assuming I should start a new game and instead of NG+ the dungeons?

>>144529438
NG cycles don't affect chalice dungeons at all.

Even if they shut down the online entirely, you'd be a fool to get an Xboner and miss out on Bloodborne.

But yes, it's plenty active still. And if you play BB you won't even want to play DS3 anymore.

If you do a charged up attack from behing (hold R2) then you'll stagger them.

Depending on your stats you can do some pretty heavy damage with guns if you upgrade them.
>>
>>144540537
It's sort of accurate, some things like the BLT weapons aren't as they add both physical and blood damage together. The AR below the weapons are more accurate as they separate the damage.

So I just picked up the Old Hunters version of the game. I haven't touched it since about a month after it came out when I beat it and I don't remember much, there was a lot of good shit but I also remember !FRENZY! clusters of eyes and doing dungeons over and over and over and over.

Anyway, I appear to be level 87 on at least NG+ (am I fukd?). I've just bumrushed Vicar Amelia and am about to jump into the DLC. Anything spoiler-free I should know before I just in?
Also, what the fuck do I spend my souls on? I get pathetic returns on every stat up, my weapons are both +10 and I have health and ammo falling out of my ass.

Infusion as in changing from physical to elements? A fire Stake Driver is pretty beastly with oil urns if you can land the tricked charge r2
>>
>>144548838

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Is there anything good for bolt aside from the tonitrus (and it's awful durability)? Should I just suck it up and infuse a ludwigs, or is there something I can get early in the dlc to infuse? Is arcane scaling a big deal?

You can infuse any pure physical weapon and it'll be good, especially once you get Cold Abyssal gems that improve Arcane scaling. A lot of Arcane builds use Bolt Saifs as you only need 11 Skl to hold and the moves is much better than the Tonitrus.

I'm at Brygenwerth and this hunter faggot in the building one shotted me with magic even though just one magic ball hit me and my vit is fucking 30. I managed to kill her by parry spam but that magic was some real bullshit man. I haven't died since blood starved beast and this recent death has triggered me so much for some reason that I will take a few days break from the game.

Also I just tried chalice dungeon and it's literally worse than Binding of Isaac.

Just started this game. Not my first Souls game, as I've got a few hundred hours in DaS, but BB has been much much harder so far. Every boss fight has been a grueling 10-minute duel where I slowly wittle them down to nothing and use 15 blood vials in the process.

Am I doing this wrong? Is that how Skill plays out? It's working, but it feels like it's way harder than it oughta be.
>>

Well you can get a shortcut back to the first lantern after you reach a small bridge above the area filled with bloodsuckers. Then there's another lantern further down in a church to the right of the giant guy with a church cannon.

>>144550913
Started as Professional, only leveled Skill and Vitality so far. I'm at a low level, so they're probably at 20 and 17 respectively. Weapon is a Threaded Cane +3, and I have no noteworthy gems, just 2 that add 1.4% damage.
>>
>>144550689
The game tends to be harder for Souls Vets at first. I was the same way. Now I take them down in about 2 to 3 minutes or less each.

The problem is that in DaS, you tend to wait for attacks, then there is a huge opening so you have time to easily land a few hits. It doesn't really work that way in BB.

The trick to BB bosses is to dodge Forward, and slightly to the side, NOT BACK. Your goal should be to get out of in front of them, not away from them. Several of the bosses are set up specifically to punish you for trying to dodge away from them.

Watch the OP WebM for an example of what I am talking about.
>>
>>144551505
I think street sharks are more bowel emptying.
>>
>>144550689
Sounds like you're using the Threaded Cane without knowing where all the Bloodstone Shards are.

The Threaded Cane starts out bad but ends up with awesome scaling. Generally weapons with high scaling have lower base damage, which makes them not as good at the start of the game. You could try using the Saw Spear, or make use of fire and bolt paper.
>>
>>144551569
Yeah, learned that damn quick with Cleric Beast. Disengaging only gets me punished. They've gotten easier, at least. Five tries for Cleric Beast, four for Gascan, and two for Blood-Starved Beast.

>>144551695
Do I need to progress further before Twin Bloodstone Shards show up? I'm currently gearing up for Vicar Amelia, she wrecked me hard first time.

Yeah, earliest you can get twin bloodstone shards is by finishing old yharnam and having those guys with sacks spawn in cathedral ward.

>>144551834
You "CAN" fight the Vicar deceptively early. Your supposed to fight the Cleric Beast, Gascan, BSB, the Witches, and Paarl first.

If you beat BSB, let one of the new enemy's with the Bags kill you if you haven't yet.

>>144551695
Skill is also a bad PvE choice for new players. Going Str or quality would have been much easier.

>>144552101
Watching it isn't going to do anything for me, and it illustrates my point of dodging forward and to the side (i.e. being more aggressive) so why not refer to it? It isn't the Ludwig WebM.
>>
>>144552269
Yeah they are, they're fairly easier with a kirkhammer since you can bait them and crush their skulls with charged attacks then ragdoll them across the room with the follow up and crush them again as they enter berserk mode, the hassle is killing them in a few hits because their danger factor goes up by 70% when they enter berserk mode at 75% hp.
>>
>>144551834
Do you know of the two areas you can access right before Vicar Amelia? Going to either side of the Grand Cathedral once you reach the church guys using big sticks will lead you to a new area. Neither of them are particularly easy, but you can find Twin Blood Shards there.

Going to the right will have you meet two hunters you probably can't beat, followed by a Sackman who will probably kill you, I suggest you run past him unless you want to get sacknapped. Followed by two Executioners which are the big guys with axes who will probably kill you if you arent good at parrying. If you manage to kill both of those Executioners you'll find two Scuttlers/Crystal Lizards who both drop two twin shards each. You can pull the second Executioner with pebbles so you don't set off the Scuttlers.

Go to the left instead though. That way leads to Hemwick. There are at least three Twin Shards in Hemwick, though it's a much longer area. Check every nook and cranny, because they're hidden pretty well. That wooded area full of black dogs and snipers is a bitch, but those dogs also have a chance of dropping twin shards as well.

>>144552149
This is not true.
>>
>>144551965
Defiled is fun though. It's designed to be pretty easy, but to punish bad play, specifically face tanking. Root FRCs, on the other hand, can be true hell.
>>
>>144552610
>This is not true.
? They do drop twin blood stone shards, hell I farmed them.
>>
>>144552719
I know they do, but that's not the earliest you can get them. All you need to do is buy the Chief Hunters Emblem to have access to them.

Alrighty anon, will look into doing that.

>>144552610
You're supposed to parry the Executioners? I just dodged around them and sliced them to bits.

In any event, will try to kill the Scuttlers. Would've done that if I knew they were Crystal Lizard 2.0...

And left? Down the stairs? Is this the same direction I go to reach Old Yharnam?
>>
>>144553082
Left right before the Grand Cathedral, once you reach the church dudes using giant sticks. Going right will lead you to the hunters and Executioners.
>>
>>144552561
They are super easy to parry. If he is playing a skill build his parries will do more damage anyway.

>Parry their punch

>>144553248
The path he is talking about is like 5 feet from the doors that lead to Vicar Amelia. It's deceptive as hell and doesn't look like it would lead to a new area, so a lot of people just run past it.
>>
>>144553445
Should I be leveling Bloodtinge? That is what increases Viscerals, to my knowledge, but guns are just so bad for damage.

It's just a saber with a dagger slotted into the handle.

By far the most practical trick weapon design.
>>
>>144553570
I highly suggest you bypass the hunters. They are fairly easy to run by and a going to be extremely tough for you. Make sure to run past/kill the Sackman so you can drop down on the two snipers lounging on the cliffs overlooking the two Executioners. If you don't kill them, the Executioners will be a much tougher fight.

The Executioners are extremely weak to Viscerals, and should die in one shot since you're a Skill build.
>>
>>144553570
I suggest level BLT to 8 and no more, since that is the base requirements for the repeating pistol.

Leveling up increases visceral damage, but leveling skill increases it more. BLT just increases gun damage and the damage of a few specific melee weapons.
>>
>>144553823
On my way.

>>144553823

>>144553958
That's much less practical than the axe. It's literally just an axe with an extendable handle.

Do you know how clunky and weird it would be to actually try to fight with the Rakuyo? Sure it's a realistic weapon, but it is not a practical one.

Well in the "tricked" mode the Rakuyo wouldn't have any weird quirks since it's literally just a knife and a sword.

Good point about the axe though.
>>
>>144554335
Fighting with the Rakuyo wouldn't be particularly awkward though, assuming the dagger remains reasonably short (i.e. not the length of a sword).
>>
>>144553958
Rifle spear is the most reasonable.

Is Bloodborne the best game of the 21st century?
>>
So I've been playing bloodborne for the last couple days and I have to say the difficulty seems all over the place

Cleric Beast was just an exercise in how many times I could press R1, but Father G raped my mouth a couple of times because I kept gitting greedy

The Blood-Starved Beast gave me a rough time for a bit, but I beat Vicar Amelia on the first go, the fact that she held still long enough for a fully charged stake driver R2 multiple times was probably a big part of it

So my question is should I get the Reiterpallasch
>>
Holy fuck I was not prepared for Ludwig. Is 76 high enough to kill him? Am I doing something wrong? Is fire not good against him?

>>144556490
That depends on if you're doing a Dex/Bloodtinge build or not. Even then I feel like having a gun in your right hand is sorta pointless when you also have a gun in your left. And unless you're throwing a load of Strength in there too, you're pretty much guaranteed to have a normal gun in your left hand.

I mean, it's fast as fuck and does solid damage, but I still feel it's kind of pointless. I've seen Str/Dex/Blt builds before that make use of Cannons with it, but that requires a lot of sacrifices from Vit.
>>
>>144556959
76 is high enough, your equipment might be the problem. What do you have on you?
>>
>>144557452
32 Vit, 58 Arc, +9 Saw Spear with three fire gems at around +10%.
>>
Well managed to kill the two sharks, so the only things left for me to do/get in the dlc is killing Laurence and Kos
>>
Currently grinding for heavy abyssals. Anyone want to join? I'll post a pass if anyone does.
>>
>>144557684
You could probably level Vit a little higher. I also found using 10% fire gems to not hit really hard even with high Arc as well but Ludwig is a tough pill to swallow with it. After him it gets easier, study his moves real close and don't get too greedy with hits. There's always Valtr to summon
>>
>>144558075
sure why not?
>>
>>144557352

I want it because rapiers make my dingle hard, almost as hard as pilebunkers

I was actually wondering also how much I should be dumping into END, considering the game so far hasn't shown me any reason I should have a lot of it (hitting R1 more than twice against anything is a recipe for assbeatings)

Level doesn't matter. I beat him at level 43. People have beaten him lower than that. WHat matters more is your weapon upgrades and gems. A +9 with Mensis gems is perfect.
>>
>>144558187
15 END with a stamina rune is plenty even for PvP.

It's certainly possible to make use of the Reiter without investing in Blt, if you want. I think a Dex primary quality build would be pretty kickass for it actually. Let you still parry people while making use of the Gatling and Cannon.

Since you're running an Arc build Men's is gems are useless since theyreally only for physical damage. There's an 18% Arcane gem in there you can pick up but it's not worth using it against Ludwig. Other option would be going deeper into chalice dungeons and getting fire gems from the Loran chalices.
