>>
>>166810679
No, she's not.

The prayer has a different voice actor.

We'll never know what name From Soft gave those two church hunters (+ the one above in research hall) bevause unlike the maingame the people writing the guide wernt given the offical names. Which is why everything in the DLC has boring names that basically equate to "what they look like + weapon", and nothing fancy like "Lost Child of Antiquity" or "Garden of Eyes" or "Edgar, Choir Intelligance".

Honestly my worst fight, my usual openings weren't there with such a slow weapon and I got caught on the corpse when he called down lightning but god damn that augur parry got me pumped.

Kos Parasite is also fun as fuck but I hate going full squidward for the enhanced moveset. Ruins fashion, unless anyone has a good clothing mixture for it?

Also how do you guys keep entertained after gem farming? This character is gonna be my overlevelled PvE character but after the chalice slog and running dungeons for near perfect gems I don't have a ton of motivation to keep going.
>>
Hello /bbg/, I finally got my hands on a ps4, but I don't have PS+ for online. How much am I missing out on by playing offline? Just pvp and co-op?
>>
>>166813117
That and access to free chalice dungeons generated previously by other players online.
>>
>>166813117
>Just pvp and co-op?
Yes. No fc or spelunking with friends for you.
Read the OP and don't bother with builds.
>>
>>166813117
> just PVP and coop

Mostly, yeah.

But also player-written messages on the ground, seeing how other players died via bloodstains on the ground showing thier final 10 seconds. And also chalice glyphs where you can join dungeons other people created (without spending any materials) which makes getting gems and loot much easier. Technically you can get everything offline, but it's a huge slog of farming and RNG.
>>
>>166813214
>don't bother with builds
I would say still run builds. 1, he may get online eventually, and 2, it adds a lot of replay value to the game while also stopping the game from being too easy.

For a blt build, are the minimum requirements for Chicago, Bloodletter and BowBlade enough, or should i bring skl or str to 25 for any of them?
>>
>>166814943
Base STR and SKL are enough if you don't plan on using untricked mode.
SKL is near useless if it's not 50 and only ever do that for the Blowblade or maybe the Reiter and Rifle Spear.
You can bring STR to 28 to use the Church Cannon and some damage on untricked Bloodletter.
Basicaly, go to 40/10/14/15/50/6 and level the rest as you wish.
>>
>>166815337
You can also bring ARC to 18 to Augur parry and Old Bone for maximum edge.
>>
>>166812850
For KPara, madman set works well from Hintertombs or Simons set

To keep entertained, use a new weapon, and fortify it according to the area. This will make the game 'hard' again as long as it is in a stat you havent invested in. If you did a StrArc build last, consider a SklArc, SklBlt or StrBlt build

For chalices, just wait until Friday for FRC spelunking club. If you find Guidance 3 you become komg of the thread until either these threads die or

>>166815823
Yeah, same dude
40Blt on a Blt build remders it near useless. you would have to be a fuckong moron or brand new to PvP if you thought <48Blt is viable.
I just suggested the Vit over Arc because most of the Blt weapons take a chunk of your health with them, thus rendering your health effectively around 30-35Vit for the fight if you have 40 Vit. Bowblade doesnt suffer this, but still it's in good practice as the second weapon you use will most likely have health drain/damage
>>
>>166816354
Oh yeah to the newfreind, 98 is the meta around here. We say 80-120 is acceptable for the people who didnt initially plan out their builds as the most likely have points in useless stats, but a planned build is level 98, no exceptions

For context, the Reddit meta belives that 150 is meta because it grants the defence hardcap
>Protip:It doesn't do shit
We normally train on them before FC, just proving that 150BL is crap returns

98 is basically enough to max out 1-2 stats and that is all you need unless you fall for the ExtraArc=MoHunterTools meme

>>
>>166816569
I believe anything above bl 100 is just overleveling. Even Moon Blade is a damage dealer with 25/12/50 and people who go 25/25/50 are just try hards who want to use everything at the same time disregarding the purpose of builds.

Alright, guys a Loreanon here. I understand most of the lore so elboration is only needed for the newfags if they ask nicely. Here is the question.

>At what point does Kos die?

We know that Kos' corpse being found and the harvest of the unborn unbilical cords was the start of the curse of the hunters. We also know that this must have been an early event in the hunters timeline, as it is definitely Gehrman that visits the Hamlet (as we see in the trailer w/the pegleg) and with Gehrman being the founder of the Hunters we know this is really fucking early on.
However we also know that later on in this timeline Rom was elevated by Kos, when Kos gave her eyes on the inside and made her the Vacuous Spider she is when we find her.
But even more so, Kos must have been alive (or at least unfound) before the burning of Old Yharnam and the creation of the Nightmare of Mensis, as Micolash presumes that Kos is alive, or at least unaware of her corpse being found. We know that OY was burnt down at a relatively recent point in the timeline and Micolash is at a point in which the church was well established, and much longer after the inquisition of the Hamlet, so at what fucking point does Kos actually decide to die?

Use fire paper, saw spear and parry him. That boss is great for initially learning how to parry correctly. What weapon you using anyway?
Also I heard somewhere that he is the only boss where you can have 3 summons (Alfred is glitched, and doesnt register so you can have 2 online buddies and Alfred)
For online, set your settings to Worldwide, then tell us what password you are using

Focus on evasion

Also say hi to Hibiki whilst you are there.
>>
>>166818356
I used a hotdog gems cane but you'll have an easier time using Saw Spear with Lower Pthu fire gems. They can be found farming some fire axe skinny guys which I forgot the layer they're from. On first phase go to your left and don't spend too much time under him, on second phase dodge right but try to stay behind him.
>>
>>166818428
Got him to 25% then he grabbed me, great video though 10/10.
Im out of anything fire related because i suck, but thanks for the shitpost guide.
>>
>>166818559
Im using the saw spear, but im out of fire because i suck and wasted it on trash mobs.
Ill keep at it for another couple of rounds before i cave in and use summons.

Don't use antidotes. If you follow Beyonce's advice you'll barely get hit so heal instead of attacking and it'll be over faster.

>>166818646
Yeah I know his attack patterns near off by heart but I really am doing a Hunter tool only run. No weapons. Which tools did you use??? Auger is weak, and ACB is too expensive w/bloodbulleting. For the kek factor, when I'm finished, I'm gonna equip the Beast embrace rune when I go full wizard

Hibiki is actually a real world counterpart of an in game great one/god without a body/form called Oedon (hence Oedons chapel). If you ask for help with honesty in your heart and ring a Beckoning bell with a password, Hibiki need not even look at the password. He just....appears. You then will have a much higher chance of winning as you use the 'Sit' emote and Hibiki demolishes the boss. It was a secret update, only made available to /bbg/ goers

His arch nemesis on this thread is the tripfag fuck off L, you autistic faggot, and go annoy /dsg/ . Near everything it says is just bad advice, and is of mild inconvenience to everyone in /bbg/

dodge under him in 1st phase and to the left in his second. if he lowers his head he is about to charge, dodge to the right so you wont get clipped by his eye mouth. when he does the massive aoe run away then start towards him as soon as it blows up above his head, then strafe round him until he misses you and get like 5 seconds of free hits
>>
>>166821341
dodge left, when he jumps run like hell or roll, stay under not behind when attacking.
second form stay behind him as much as you can and dont get too far away or he does some nasty beam or rush stab attacks. Dont panic.

Probably metal, which could have an adverse reaction to the water. I'm sure that she's self-sufficient and can repair herself if need be, and past hunters might have repaired her in the same way.

Beware Screaming
but Rating is effective

is that the same arena you fight maneater boar and brainsucker in? Pthumerian Elder is so much easier when he doesn't have all that room to teleport behind you like pssh nothin personal kid.

You start at the beginning of the game in the clinic. You will not have any of your old character's items or weapons. Your old character will stay at the very same place you left him. You can always come back to him by selecting Load instead of Continue in the main menu and selecting your old character.

Yes, but in both cases the chime maidens are loud and obvious to kill, which silences the bell. Generally once you get past the 'designated PvP area' you will be out of most peoples ranges.
If you kill the maidens however, you won't have the 30% extra hp home advantage if they invade.

Or you could just do those areas offline.

Just summon Hibiki, the formless great one and let him carry you. They say if you ask nicely with a password he will appear in your world...
>>
>>166825027
unlock the camera, jog sideways from it and then roll sideways right before it hits you. You will look on-screen like you are rolling only out of the way of her tentacles and like her head completely missed you

I'm pretty sure this is the way you're supposed to do it, because sprinting sideways makes you sprint-jump when you try to dodge and that doesn't give you iframes (plus you cannot sprint fast enough unless she is far away). And dodging while locked on to her head puts you right in the path of her tentacles

Nah, its just a better meta than Reddit as you actually have to think about your build for more than 2 minutes and it takes less time to make overall. With Reddit you can max out 3 stats, so there is little variety and makes the game like babbies first adventure. It's serious enough.

>>166825610
Honor, and not being general cancer. Make an original build and make us chuckle that way.

Alright so I have a thought about this but obviously theres not much information to go off of so I also kind of am trying to think of it in terms of the culture its from.
There's this history in Japan of whales beaching being seen as a sign from the gods that prosperity will come to their town because along with the beached whale comes all sorts of other animals trying to eat it, and the whale itself gives meat and bones and all kinds of shit they want. My guess is that Kos beaches and dies slowly on the shore and becomes similarly a worshiped corpse, benefiting the hamlet. The Kos parasites then start to infect the poor hamlet in a similar fashion to Yharnam with the beasts, they begin turning to fish dudes. Bygenwerth is established at this point but Laurence has not left or has just left, because I think if Laurence had seen the fish plague he would not have been so gun-ho about the old blood. I think that Wilhem and Gherman seeing this corpse and this hamlet makes them more aware of afraid of the scourge of the beast.
Obviously Burgerworth then proceeds to do more "academic research" and fuck the hamlet up more, but I think Kos's parasites/slugs we find everywhere are what turned the population into fishies.

>>166825947
Go the the far left, up the stairs and kill all the maidens. Then just cripple him over an over until he dies

>>166825927
After one hit you deal +20% an take +20% do with that as you will. To get any higher/ to 350 beasthood, use Claws or Pizza cutter. Works better on under-levelled builds, because if you die in 2 hits, less defence isn't going to matter (See BL4 challenge)

When the fuck am I supposed to level up to 98 then??

>>166826751
A few ideas:
>Rom was one of the scholars who found Kos, and was granted eyes then, leading to a long line of transformations
>Rom performed some sort of ritual/experiment/study in regards to Kos, causing the eyes to form (Kos still has power despite being dead, the lasting of the curse shows that)
I'm not entirely sure, these are just theories. I think we can agree that Rom had origins as a scholar, though

When does Kos die though? (Your theory you came to is nigh correct to the community accepted one-Well done!)
To fix a few things:
>Both the Chuch and Burger king harvested the eyes from the villagers. They prayed to Kos for revenge and Kos came. Dead. When the Church took the umbilical cord, they unknowingly killed the Orphan and kinda accidentally created the hunters nightmare/dream by completing the ritual. The School of Mensis took note and made another ritual to create te Nightmare of Mensis
>Kos is killed by the parasites, so they were already there/ they didnt arrive to feast on Kos
>The Healing Chuch was just established, not Byrgenwerth (Byrgenwerth is quite old in comparison)
>Gehrman wasn't afraid of the corpse, its implied he was the one who harvested the umbilical cords and subsequently killed the Orphan
>Lawrence is dead at this point. He was one of the first to turn, and the Hunters were built up during that time of the history

Oh I didn't mean to imply Gherman was afraid of Kos's corpse but rather fearful of the effect it had on the hamlet, leading him to establish more hunters. Maybe he was a part of BurgerCollege? It seems like a stretch.
I mean I think that Kos may be the first Great One encountered, and so I think it happened early in the Churches history or lead to Laurence leaving the college to establish the church. I say this because of all the Great Ones mentioned in the game Mother Kos seems to be the most heavily referenced, to the point that as you pointed out it inspires the ritual that Mensis conducts and in my opinion try to recreate it with The One Reborn.
The only other Great One I can think of with as much reference and adoration is Oedon, who obviously has an entire Chapel created in his name and many people related to the church have his runes in their mind, dweller, adella, iosefka, and gascoine daughter (he obviously is tied to the graves of Oeden in some way). I can't speak to if Kos or Oeden is more significant or known about sooner than the other, just a tangent this thought lead me on. Oeden is really interested though because they built a Chapel to a being that can not be seen or heard, or maybe no matter what we lack the insight to see him, but he has a strong influence on the game none the less.

Nope, the great ones are seen as kind and helping to those in need. The Byrgenwerthers went to the Fishing hamlet and stole their eyes, made them do slave labour and 'defield' them (Accbrew) Kos answered their pleas, but was overcome by the parasites and died on the shore

No source in particular, but using logic >Lawrence was the founder of the Healing Chuch
>He clearly was one of the first to use the old blood and should in case be one of the first to be changed by it
>The Healing Church was built up around his skull, suggesting that it was early on that the skull was changed for the healing church to build itself around it
>Unlike other beasts, Lawrence is on fire in the nightmare. Since beasts/hunters exist in the nightmare exist how they died, we can guess he was killed by fire-not a signature way of the more clean-cut hunters
>The only hunters that really adored fire and explosions were the powderkegs-a very early subsect of the emerging hunters. If Lawrence was killed by fire, then who is to say a part of the new beast killing squad would focus on fire and explosions?
>Brador, the church assassin used to be all the church needed before the beasts became too noticeable and the hunters were formed. However the largest, most horrible beasts were near exclusively members of the church. Lawrence included. It is logical then that Lawrence was the first 'huge' beast, which kickstarted the hunters.

Basically Lawrence turned, was too big for the assassins, and the Hunters were formed-headed by Gehrman.

>The Byrgenwerthers went to the Fishing hamlet and stole their eyes, made them do slave labour and 'defield' them (Accbrew) Kos answered their pleas, but was overcome by the parasites and died on the shore
I don't see why make it so overly complicated, if anything this only raises even more questions.

About that second part, there's some leaps of logic here and there like
>be one of the first to be changed by it
Not everyone turns at the same speed, the more you resist, the more horrific you become, that's why higher members of the church are the biggest beasts. But it may also have something to do with the quality of the blood so it's not impossible to say this is right.
>The Healing Church was built up around his skull
His skull is used to teach the adage to new vicars and I don't see why it can't be moved inside the Cathedral after he died.
>The only hunters that really adored fire and explosions were the powderkegs-a very early subsect of the emerging hunters.
Not only you are referring to the oto hunters, who were precursors of the powder kegs, and those were heretics of the workshop, but fire has been a staple in beast hunts, any hunter could have killed Laurence some time after Kos was found dead.
>Brador, the church assassin used to be all the church needed before the beasts became too noticeable and the hunters were formed
Nothing indicates he was the only one. His cell is huge for one person.
>It is logical then that Lawrence was the first 'huge' beast, which kickstarted the hunters.
Laurence's trasformation was not what started the hunters. He beckoned the Moon with his associates, Gherman probably oncluded, so it's unlikely he was a beast at this point.

Again close, but some more corrections
>Kos isn't the first to be found. Ebrietas is heavily implied to be a source of the blood for the church when they ventured into the Chalices, before Kos was even in play. The reason why Kos is referenced so much is that Kos is arguably the key character in the story. She is the reason why the Hunters dream exists and why hunters and Yharnam are trapped to forever hunt beasts, either in the cursed 'waking world' or the hunters nightmare
>Gehrman is Church, not Burger
>The Church is estaished because of the eldritch truth (Ebrietas) or the old blood found in the chalices. Its never implied which is the key one, so we assume the Ebrietas is the source of the old blood and is the eldritch truth at the sane time. Although some believe that BLB is actually the source, due to it's Jap name but it is also implied that this is just a really fucking old beast that the Pthumerians used as a blood source-not the Humans
>All the great ones (that were known) were worshipped. Oedon just happens to be the one who's chapel we go through. We are in the 'Oedeon district' so to say diring the game.
>They ain't trying to create the One Reborn. He is an accident, what they are trying to do is open another portal to Nightmare of Mensis to get Micolash and co. outta there. They only observe that

>A great ones child is needed to be linked to the nightmare realm
>A lotta people got to die for it to work.
>Old blood effects accelerated whilst it is happens
>Kill the child and you shut the portal and stop people turning into beasts as fast (See: the main quest)
-Hunters Nightmare=Child of Kos=Slaughter of the Fishing Hamlet
-Nightmare of Mensis=Child of ???=Slaughter of Old Yharnam
-New Portal made in game=Child of Mergo=Slaughter of all the NPCs in Yhar guul/Yharnam

Ever wondered why all NPC's go silent after Blood Moon? The One REBORN is actually all the citizens of Yharnam who were sacrificed. Well done for killing them!

Yes, it was just weird that it worked pretty much without lag on the first try.

I was just started to grind those gems for the first time, got to the third layer of one in the spreadsheet which was one roaming, but they didn't seem to respawn so I might have wasted that.

Maybe I assumed it was the roaming ones, I didn't see the boss of that layer yet.

Spreadsheet said:
Pthumerian Elder boss (Roaming Pthumerian Descendent layer 3)

I assumed it was that one. I got a 26.3% tempering gem instead.

It was referring to the Pthumerian Elder boss, and merely making note that there was a roaming Pthumerian Descendant on Layer 3.

Yes, I killed the roaming one fast because there were lots of enemies around, so it might have been descendant.

I just unlocked the door, and it is the elder. But it's probably better to savescum as well, though I never did it before for other easier to gem builds.

Yes, the roaming one IS Descendant. All the glyph was saying was that it's Elder (L3 boss) you want for the Cold Abyssals, and then adding an "Oh, by the way there's a roaming Descendant on L3 as well, just in case you'd like to know"

This is something I really didn't want to think about today. Could you imagine how horrifying that would be, trapped in an eternal body while sustained by Great Ones, seeing generations of hunters live and die around you, spending eternity with an old hunter who had an insatiable desire for you who is now a husk of what he used to be?

Who else here thinks bloodborne is the best game ever made? It's surprising to me since I hate 99% of modern games. I was lucky though, bloodborne was my first ever souls game for some reason, ds3 is probably my second fav but I recently got to play ds1 and demon souls and they were obviously great games, but pretty disappointing. The bosses were way too easy and I was expecting them to be insane, especially ds1 anyway.

Wrong. Most Yharnamites either go mad or turn into a beast. Only the denizens of Yahar'gul got sucked into the one reborn. Also, implying you're not doing them a favor by ending their misery.

Holy fuck, you're a pleb. Lovecraft never wrote "books", he wrote short stories and 90% of them are amazing.
>>166839364

I might look into it actually. Just thought I'd search on amazon quickly since I'm a pleb and I assumed his works were books. What it be retarded to buy this?

>>
>>166842879
Yes. I'll rush to the third layer and ring it there, maybe it will work then, and if it doesn't I can still grind it alone.

So, that FRC amounted to a total of:
19 Ritual Blood (5) - 4 more than spent.
14 Tomb Mould (5) - 1 short of what I paid
0 Red Jelly
0 Sage's Hair
11(!) Yellow Backbone
0 Bastard of Loran

I should've noted down how much insight I gained from that, and if it's actually viable to compensate for all the additional rite materials.

If you want to own his stuff eventually, it'd be a good buy, all in one book. There's no end to different releases, Wordsworth editions are generally very cheap and decent, but spread out. There's the big black Necronomicon and Eldritch Tales books, containing pretty much everything and also look pretty.

You can also read literally everything for free on H.P. Lovecraft.com, just print stuff out at a library and keep it in a binder, they have the best formatted and corrected editions of every story. It's a great resource.

Some good stories to start with would be:
>Dagon
>From Beyond
>The Thing in the Moonlight
>Pickman's Model
>The Picture in the House

All pretty short, and show more than a little influence on Bloodborne. From Beyond is especially related. After that, if you're still interested, check out The Call of Cthulhu, The Colour out of Space and The Shadow Over Innsmouth, three longer but fantastic stories.
>>
>>166843485
Well, it certainly will take more than enough to beat Rom while I'm getting there, though I just beat the merciless watchers.
>>
>>166843630
Ah, the dungeon ended? My bad, I'm blind. Thought I saw a Layer 4 door appear after Elder.

It was a good run, though, m8. Really enjoyed myself. Looks like the rite materials weren't enough to compensate for the cost, but at least you have plenty of Backbones.

25/25/50 is the best in my opinion
>>
>>166844159
Yep, good session. The mace Watcher hiding in the corner got a kek out of me.
In terms of insight gained, it might be worth a consideration to start counting Great One's Wisdoms once you reach the point where you encounter duplicate Caryll runes. It will ease the cost of rite materials a bit more.

I'm going to buy it as it's cheap enough and all in one with a design that I really like.

I'd rather go from start to finish, I'm sure I'll enjoy most of it.

HMLS is a split damage weapon between 2 or 3 stats whereas a piss easy weapon weapon can scale mostly on two or even one, making them more efficient for low level builds, especially 98. Wouldn't HMLS need to be 130+ to accumulate enough stats to become a powerhouse?

fc in isz tonight friendly friends?
>>
>>166843973
There's two ways to use the Moon Sword: Physical attacks and Moon Beams. Since you're using Arc focus on the beams with 25/12/50, Physical will not be as good as with 50/25/14 but will still hit hard. Some people go 25/25/50 but I think that's overkill.

The stories are all essentially unrelated, save for the self-referential thing Lovecraft often did to add verisimilitude to his stories, to make all the stuff he talked about seem real. That's about the extent of it. You can read them all as you wish, but I would recommend trying some shorter stories first to get a feel for his style and content. Jumping into At the Mountains of Madness, or God forbid, Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath first thing will be pretty daunting, despite them being good stories. You'll also come across the dreamlands stories, they're straight up fantasy, some are good, like 'The Doom that Came to Sarnath' and 'The Cats of Ulthar', some are not so good, like 'The Quest of Iranon'.

Go through them all eventually, I wouldn't tell someone NOT to read a story, but you're able to pick and choose as you wish, read whatever takes your fancy. The ones I listed are just good intro stories, short, tight, to the point, spooky.

Defiled Hotdog is way easier than Rom though. Those fucking spiders and meteors coming from outside the screen aren't only annoying, but dangerous.
Hotdog can't really do anything unless you fuck up.

How comfy is the Ailing Loran Chalice Dungeon?

Also, how do you guys take close-ups of your hunters?
>>
>>166844097
I think that the depth of the dungeon multiplied with 15 or 20 should be alright. So a depth 3 dungeon should be done at lvl 45 to 60.

So why be mad?

>>166848182
>Hotdog can't really do anything unless you fuck up.
I feel like that could be said of any boss, but nevertheless I'm struggling with him pretty bad. Maybe I just struggle to read his moveset or something I dunno, the only one I can always see telegraphed is his 1hit charge and even then sometimes he gets me midheal or when Im slightly too close to his back leg. I'll just have to keep hitting my head against the wall until I beat it.
>>
>>166848242
It really isn't. The wind's howling, sand gets in your eyes and lightning buzzes like a malfunctioning neon lamp.

is there any good way for an arcane build to wield the burial blade?
>>
>>166848426
What weapon are you using?
I just stand in front of it and bop it on the nose whenever it tries to bite me, until I break it. Then it starts taking mad damage. Your weapon must have at least some vertical reach on the dash attack though.
>>
>>166848289
Got an abyssal with rapid poison +3.6 and stamina cost 1.5%.

I'll keep ringing though
>>
>>166848591
Like every other weapon - just stick some cold abyssals in it.
>>
>>166848229
this is fun
i hate this
>>
>>166848629
I'm using the Chikage and the Bowblade, obviously the bowblade is fucking useless against him.
I had no problem with my STR/ARC build using the Stone Hammer which makes it even more irritating that I'm struggling so bad.
>>
>>166848270
>>166848315
Because it's bullshit. The pig goes right past me and comes back without stoping. If it was my mistake I would be fine but if it's like this it just makes me angry.
>>
>>166848746
it doesn't convert. That would just make the insignificant arcane damage go up a little.

I have 25 STR and 50 ARC
could I make it work with two heavy abyssals and a nourishing abyssal?
>>
>>166848591
It might sort of work on a 25/25/50 HMLS build with the right gems.
>>
>>166848673
i need to try and get one with +bolt but even if i do itll probably be some shit curse like atk down
>>

>at level 55
>Rom keeps killing me
>only have a +6 Ludwig's Holy Blade
This is fucked. What weapon isn't gimped bullshit and actually does damage?
>>
>>166848897
Oh, right, it has some innate arc. Well... in that case stick some odd cold abyssals in it. Or just nourishing if all else fails.
>>
>>166849165
with what gems?

normally it works best with 50 STR and 2 heavy abyssals + a 27% tempering, because the arcane damage is just like a little flat bonus that you cannot really work with
>>
>>166849165
He's talking about the Burial Blade, easily triggered anon.
>>
>>166849257
LHB is one of the best weapons in the game. But for Rom, I recommend Tonitrus. He's weak to bolt. A ton of bosses are.
>>
>>166849257
just did him with Holy Blade + 6

you aren't attacking his face are you, that would be awfully stupid
>>
>>166849257

>>
Anyone want some waning nourishings from Amy? I'm at 6jcbqsk2, pass is nouri
>>
>>166849365
Probably nourishing gems, the cold abyss won't help much because of the low base arcane damage. But the arcane+strength offset the difference from the 25 skill besides the fact that tempering gems have better percentages.
>>
>>166849257
go to Hypogean Gaol and kill Darkbeast Paarl, then you can buy lightning buffs, buff your sword with lightning and hit the shit out of in the body. Watch a video first if it helps, he telegraphs his moves pretty obviously. If you can dodge his AOE/projectiles you might want to consider taking out the baby spiders first.

you can get 20.5% uncursed bolt radials just off the fish-priests in the fishing hamlet.

The 9.x% physical atk up will probably hurt your physical damage, and the burial blade has good multipliers unlike the BoM, so you'd be wasting their potential with flat arcane.

Are bone ass hunters the best way to get some radial bolt gems?
>>
>>166851978
why would you even subject yourself to that when Isz watchers pretty routinely will drop 27.2% bolt triangles?

All weapons meant for elemental / arcane conversion should be two radials for cold abyssals and a triangle for an Isz watchers gem. No wanings
>>
>>166852269
Yep, them or Ihyll Watchers. Just find a BAH in Loran or something.
>>
>>166852281
Bolt abyssals from Abhorrent Beast give better AR than 27% Watcher gems.
>>
>>166852412
Nominal AR =/= real damage
>>
>>166852412
this is a funny meme

flat damage isnt effected by moveset modifiers
>>
fc when?
>>
>>166852465
>>166852591
But even then it still gets better damage. There's a reason everyone says to get an Abhorrent Beast abyssal for bolt weapons. And besides, Abhorrent Beast can only drop bolt abyssals, Watchers can drop physical gems, or fire or arc, or striking, or murky, or any other variety of gems that you don't want or need.

Abhorrent Beast isn't even that hard, especially for an arc build with access to ranged damage and oil urns.
>>
>>166852412
barely. Also the flat bolt damage wont get any of the moveset multipliers like a 27% would. It will still just add 37 bolt damage regardless of whether you are doing a charged R2 or a little R1 attack.
It would be more effective for a weapon that doesn't do much base damage, has average multipliers and hits very rapidly, though.
>>
>>166852737
>But even then it still gets better damage

Chalice dungeons. The answer has always been chalice dungeons.
>>
>>166852396
> Ihyll Watchers
> Bolt gems

Has that ever actually happened? I know Fire and Arcane can drop extremely rarely in Pthumeru dungeons, but I've never even heard of a bolt gem dropping.

Best Bolt setup would be either a Radial Cold Abyysal (Open Foes), a Triangle Cold Abyysal (+ flat bolt) and an Abhorrent Beast Abyysal (+ flat bolt). Or on certain weapons replacing the Triangle Cold with a Watcher 27.2% bolt gem. Or sometimes even having a Waning Cold Abyysal (+ flat bolt) and a 27% gem.
>>
>>166852992
It's possible that it'll negate itself, yeah.

I have no idea how the game decides whether or not it will. I used to think it was by whether the % is worth more to the AR than the +, but I'm not sure.

I just try to avoid any multi-elemental gems.
>>
Is it worth getting PS+ for PvP and invading? Not sure how many people invade outside of chalice dungeons after the game's been out for a while
>>
>>166852915
I got them really fast by farming isz watchers on p3umyztu when I was trying to get some 27% arcane / bolt / fire gems. Every time I beat them, they dropped 1-2 chunks, usually. I also got some rating 19 murky gems.

They normally drop up to 27% physical atk gems but I would just savescum to get oddball ones (even though that dungeon takes like 30 seconds to pull the lever and 30 seconds to run to the boss gate). By the time I had a 27% gem of each damage type (maybe like 90 minutes), I got like 33 chunks off them
>>
>>166853290
if you twink ull find invasions hyper fast
>>
>>166853332
i settled for a triangle cold abyssal with +1 hp rejen as it had a 1.5% stam cost increase curse. I'll go back later if i can be bothered to farm for a +15 bolt or fire one
>>
>>166853276
They drop. Incredibly rare, though, hence why it's recommended to just farm Isz Watchers for Bolt 27.2%s, or a BAH for a Radial Bolt 23.1%.
>>
>>166853290
a lot of people still play this game

I will go to a random old boss like Amelia or Logarius and ring my small resonant bell and I will get beckoned over and over. There is a neverending supply of people summoning to beat all of the DLC bosses, in particular. Even if you make each beckoner win their battle every time, there will always be more as soon as you get out

Also you can invade people whether they like it or not on certain areas of the game, until they kill the bell maiden who summoned you

That's any Layer 3 or 4 boss. Everything in Chalice dungeons can drop 3 ratings, so if a 20 (abyysal) is possible then 18 and 19 are the other two possibilities. Layer 1-2 bosses drop 17-19 and I think generic mobs drop 15-17, with certain elite enemies dropping 16-18
>>
>>166854476
That's how it works. Layer 3-4 bosses have 18-20 rating pools. Layer 1-2 have 17-19. Normal foes drop 15-17, roaming bosses and NPC hunters get 16-18.
It's a rating modifier, with the base 15-17 being based on depth.

if you get an abyssal that doesn't have a shit curse, you should keep it and re-do the dungeon. You can always use it on some other weapon in your arsenal. It'd be a fucking waste to just delete it and savescum again

farming for a gem with the maximum rating and with the perfect secondary effect is fine for enemies right near the lamp like gargoyles and Bone ash hunters, but doing it on tough L3 bosses like hot dog is some next level autism

the church pick no longer does thrust attacks if you convert it to bolt. It only does bolt attacks. Also, the serration is not related to thrust damage. The tricked pick's moves are all just naturally serrated all the time, like those of the untricked cleaver
>>
Dumb*** my man you are straight up invisble
>>
>>166856091
Yes, but the point of missing church pick was its insane thrust attacks and bolt paper. On an arcane build, all you get out of it is using it to convert to bolt damage with a gem, something you can do with any conversion weapon.

Hi

Been playing around with this build and am now level 99, but having second thoughts.

Current: 40/12/30/12/5/50

Should I go 50 STR or raise SKI to 25 and dump the points into either vitality or endurance? Both builds will end up at 117-120.

Weapons used are Boom Hammer, Holy Moonlight Sword. I may use the extra skill to branch out into skill weapons and use them for conversion.

i don't think i'm going to get nioh. i played some of the beta and i hate the control scheme. i also don't like having to play their character instead of one of my own design.
>>
>>166864018
I've gotten my ass kicked by it, that's for sure.

It apparently has a relatively lowish looking AR, but it hits hard as fuck anyway and has a nice moveset.

Setting ...F? E? is basically Bloodborne's but X for dash.

That's the deal breaker for me.

Flat damage on Wheel is kind of shit. It's specifically for spamming the dashR1. Under any other use Nourishings are better.

>>166864194
Flat damage is only good for dash spam, get another nourishing keep it like this.

Ive finally found the part that is going to make me drop this game. Having this shit RIGHT AFTER one of the hardest bosses in the game is just unacceptable. Goodbye /bbg/. id like to say its been fun, but this game has only made me angry and want to kill myself

The control scheme is amazing though. I like the stances, a lot. It is a shame not being able to create your own character, but it makes sense considering.

Consider using the obstacles in the area to your advantage.
Consider that maybe your gems just suck.

Yeah, I'd say so. I think the untricked attacks are pretty worthless but the tricked R1s are like slightly faster Cutter R1s, and the R2 is pretty sweet with the optional followup swipes.

Good note on those; if you land the charged R2, the claw swipes will hit a downed hunter. In fact, I think it's inescapable, and will often kill thanks to the high damage of the charged R2. The regular R2 can also catch people, and if the opponent charges in after you whiff an R2 the claw swipes can of course catch that. But if it looks like you won't get anything you can dodge out before either swipe.

Also, the running tricked R2 is great for catching runners for some reason. Used to use it just for that during invasions.

I know how to deal with Kin and Beasts, but there isnt ANYTHING you can do to give yourself an advantage against NPC hunters. Its just ridiculous. What am I supposed to do? They are like mini-boss fights within boss fights.

You get used to the control scheme, I actually fuck up in vloodborne because I already move like in nioh. I think the scheme fots the more action paced combat tho.
>i also don't like having to play their character instead of one of my own design.
this tho, I mean I understand it's the story of William and all that jazz but it really bothers me I can't customize my own samurai anc can only play as skin of other npcs. My biggest issue with it to be desu.

that's great thanks, I was pretty upset when I heard the flat gems are better because of the multiplier on certain attacks, thats good news

Basically, you need to be able to kill the black robed hunter quickly while you rotate around the big monument by the stairs that you take into there. The white robed hunter will only shoot eye beams at you from a distance and the black robed one will only close in and try to hit you with her sword, so if you pay attention to the locations of both and keep mobile, you should be able to kill the one while keeping the monument between you and the other, so her beams go harmlessly into the scenery.

Try locking onto the black robe hunter and keeping track of the other one by the sound of the beams. If you try parrying, use a shotgun for increased safety. Good luck!

I thought about that sentiment earlier today while I was Abyssal farming.

>~220 Arcane AR on my Rakuyo
>Combo Elder for about 1200 if I'm really lucky
>Barely dents his HP; ~12%
>Fight lingers on for a while, time enough to make mistakes and die

>Finally get an Abyssal
>Drop it in the Rakuyo; 350 AR
>Easily combo Elder for 2k; 15-20% of his HP
>Fight's at the halfway mark in under two minutes instead of three
>Easily beat him on every attempt, vastly improving my Abyssal acquisition

But yeah man you stick with those 15-20%s.

>>166865104
>Should I drop the Abyssal?
On Wheel? Probably. I mean if you're going full Arc and revving and stuff your Phys component really is doing next to nothing anyway, but all in all another Nourishing is very likely better.

I'd be almost curious enough to run the numbers myself.

DOES the blunderbuss literally take longer to recover after a shot?
does it take longer to ready and fire?
(than the pistol)
respond immediately
>>
>>166865042

Just regular physical gems. I think the untricked moveset is all blunt but it's the untricked moveset. You can't convert it to arc and the best moveset is just slashing so there's really nothing else to gem it with.

It does. The window is certainly less forgiving and also slightly earlier than it is against standard enemies, but NPCs can be parried.
Have fun killing yourself.

Thanks guys. But seriously, what is the best way to deal with these computer hunters? Ive had dudes come at me in the Nightmare Frontier thanks to the Bell Bitch and I took care of them, but these ones have always given me issues. there is no other non-boss enemy that causes me these problems. I know Im a spaz, thanks for giving me actual answers besides /v/-tier gut gid shit guys

My understanding Wheel's mechanics is vague at best, but basically it gets a bonus to its Arc scaling while tricked (and a 30% penalty to it's Phys AR), as well as an increase in Arc AR, or a flat bonus, I forget.

So, in theory, if you treated it like an Arc weapon with no Phys component, two Cold Abyssals and a 27% Arc would be, probably, the highest you could push for pure arc damage.

But three Nourishings works great and does vastly help the Phys AR, which does contribute to your gross damage output at all times.

You can read the particulars of its moveset and mechanics here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1doP2HShMmJcHZFTNSZ3yVFxbUu4U1aO6yHIk9-wQ1Wo/edit#gid=222193878
