The frenzy builds up, and can be triggered if your insight is high enough/frenzy resistance is low enough.
>>
>>174156736
>>174156835
Bloodletter L2 only causes frenzy buildup on the user. It's just damage to everything in the radius. Granted, it's blood damage equivalent to a fully charged R2 that's maybe twice as fast and has hyper armor, but it's still just damage.

If I understood you correctly you say that the Saw Spear is the best weapon, right? But then you say that the anon lacks ability with it, so the Saw Spear isn't a noob weapon everyone can use effectively. However everyone can easily pick up the Saif (as you see it really often in Mensis) and its mostly tricked R1 spam or constant L1s.

Oh
I guess i'll look for another skill weapon then, Burial Blade looks nice.
Is the Saif really that bad in PvP?
>>
>>174165318
Much better but still some questionable decisions.


the bloodtinge seems to only be for evelyn and repeating pistol gives you plenty of damage for less investment.

40 vit is okay but more is better

20 endurance is still a bit much for a weapon like the pallash. that much stamina is what i would expect from a strength build using stamina hungry weapons

I would recommend taking some points out of blt/end and putting it into vit/skl unless you have a reason not to.

You do you and dont let any autismos tell you how to have fun

also
>vileblood
>>
>>174166110
If you like the Saif, use it. Don't let one guy autistically shouting about how much he hates it deter you.

As for whether it's that bad or not, this is just my opinion but I think it's one of if not the best weapon in PvP. Its moveset is ridiculously good and it's one of the few weapons in the game that can effectively punish the unbeatable strategy of walk and roll backwards. It's quite fun though, so again, use it if you want. People are going to bitch no matter what weapon you use unless it's like the Tonitrus or some shit.
>>
>>174166110
The Saif is good but is the kind of good that requires no skill whatsoever. It's the washing pole of bloodborne.

Try Saw Spear, Cane, Rifle Spear, BoM, Reiter, BB, Church Pick, Rakuyo or Bowblade.

Almost no options.
>>
>>174166110
>another skill weapon
Just skip Saw Spear, Saif and never touch L2 outside combos with Rakuyo.
>>
>>174166110
It isn't bad its just stupidly good. Look at >>174165624 all the guy does is R1 spam, nothing else, and he 'combos' the other one to death. This is no fun for the guy who gets beaten to death and probably doesn't even feel rewarding.
>>
>>174166576
Huh, thanks for the explanation. Usually when i use a weapon i like using its entire moveset not just the go-to ez combo attacks.

>>174166604
>Rakuyo
And here i thought THAT was the skill shitter weapon with the spin hitconfirm

>>174166739
>R1 spam
I usually stay away from that kind of mentality, my go-to combo with the saif is usually untricked R1-L1-L1 for the trick dash into the backstep. It looks flashy as fuck.
>>
>>174166576
It's fun for the person using, but unfun for everyone else. What's so bad about not using ONE weapon so everyone can have more fun? Do you want to win this fucking hard that you can't let go of your crutch? If you like the Saif so much then go nuke Mensis with it, but don't bring that to our FC.

>People are going to bitch no matter what weapon you use unless it's like the Tonitrus or some shit.
Sorry but I don't recall seeing anyone bitching about any weapon besides Saif.

Rakuyo is good but it won't do the job for you. It also makes very satisfying sounds.
>>

Rakuyo no Ken.webm
3MB, 1280x720px
>>174166909
Rakuyo is legitimately fun, I have yet to learn all the combos, but the hitboxes are wonky so people try to avoid it as well.
>>
>>174166909

A lot of people find the Rakuyo annoying because of its easily spammable R1 combined with its comically high amount of phantom range. The way I like to describe it is like if you were swinging another Hunter by the ankles and he was the one holding the Rakuyo.

But again, don't let other people dictate what you find fun. If you want to use a weapon, go for it.

>>174166958
My dude I don't even use the Saif. If you're really having that bad of a time against the Saif, consider, I don't know, learning how to beat it? Maybe play around its go-to moves? If you see someone with a Saif, you can easily expect what they're probably going to do and play around it accordingly.

And people have been complaining about weapons other than the Saif since forever. Saw Cleaver/Spear, Bloodletter, Chikage, Wheel dashspam, Parasite dashspam, Rakuyo R1 spam and spin2win. Just because you hate the Saif doesn't mean everyone else does too.
>>
>>174165624
>Guy eats first r1 cold, continues eating r1s trying to r1 back then dodges out and gets netcoded
The last hit was bullshit but where is the fucking agency or responsibility. If someone is mindlessly saif r1ing into you just shoot or trade with it if you're using a heavy weapon.
Blaming the saif for being able to kill with r1 spam is retarded because you can r1 spam for the kill with any weapon if the other person just fucking sits there and eats it
>>
>>174163116
Is the Saw Cleaver considered bad form for FC, then? I remember we had a bit of an unspoken rule against the Rakuyo awhile back.
>>
how is the boom hammer in pvp? I'm having fun with this thing
>>
>>174168351
Everything is fine, just don't be like this >>174165624
>>
>>174168351
Nothing is bad form other than bma spam honestly, if you want to use a saw go for it and unless you know how to roll catch you probably won't get a complaint
>>
>>174168509
In the sense of Lead Elixir, the Old Hunter's Bone, or the R1 spam?
I don't touch the first two, and I left R1 spamming behind me some time ago.
>>
>>174167742
So the cleaver anon should dodge. And then? He can't attack back because the Saif is simply way quicker.

>dodge Saif R1
>try to go in again
>get R1d to death

>dodge the 2nd time
>try to go in after dodging 2 times
>get R1d to death

Or use a heavy weapon with high poise

>try to attack
>get parried because Saif is one-handed

Or
>he simply dodges and gives you 2 R1s and is out of range again

So to beat Saif all you can do is parryfish or use lead elixier.
>>

>>174167742

That's not even netcode, saif is pure phantom range. It happens 100% of the time. Only way out is to parry spam or Lead Elixir. Try the saif and play like a shitter, you'll see.

>the bloodtinge seems to only be for evelyn and repeating pistol gives you plenty of damage for less investment.

Is Repeating Pistol viable for a parry-centric build? I could always drop 10 points in Bloodtinge and put that into VIT instead.
>>
>>174168830
How do I get less shit against DA SAIF?
>>
>>174169016
>getting r1 spammed in the first place
The saif lunging r1 is legitimately good, it's the best/second best depending on who you ask (with the folding lunge l1 as the alternate) in the moveset, but the following r1s are not auto confirms, and if you dodge the first r1 its not going to be able to catch you with more r1s unless you stand still after your dodge or you try to dodge back in
R1 spamming should always be punished with a bullet because it's an easy parry and it's dumb to do so I don't think I'd call it parry spamming if you shoot if they keep r1ing.
Avoiding the lunging r1 is really the key and the hitbox while a long straight line that can follow dashes to roll catch really well, is a straight line more or less so you can manuever around it and punish it if they whiff
>>
>>174168882
Maybe I exagerrated but what I'm trying to say is that the Saif is a really dumb weapon and that even the worst players could beat a couple of people with. Of course high tier players like you would easily beat every Saif user if not every Bloodborne player no matter which weapon they use.

is just dishonest, you can hate the weapon and the player all you want but why cause a fuss when there was no low effort r1 spam bullshit involved?

Drisful was boasting his victory like a big achievement, when he basically used a shitter weapon against a complete newbie.

>>174170161
In the webm, I raged about and made stupid examples, was just R1 spam.
I didn't reply to >>174162129 as there is nothing that bothers me (uses both forms, does not R1 spam).
And I wouldn't hate on the weapon that much if I'd see something like >>174162129 more often than R1 spam.

Again that wasn't me i'm just putting my opinion on the matter forward. Not everyone grinds out the best gems and multiple blood rocks. So if someone spends hours prepping a build around a weapon they enjoy using and wants to join the FC then they should be allowed without the witch hunt that's all i'm saying.

Getting harassed on here is more likely to drive a player out than losing a few duels imo.

If you want to start off easy (as in not a complete change of playstyle), a Str/Arc build is very fun. Satisfying heavy weapons and you can play as an Executioner.

You could also try going a Skl build to focus on the fast and agile weapons such as the Rakuyo, BoM, and Burial Blade.

You can go for a Bloodtinge build and focus on blood weapons and guns. Unfortunately the melee weapons are rather limited. You could be a Vileblood and use the Chikage and be a FUCKING HERETIC, or just rock out with the Bloodletter. Add in some strength and you can hit harder with the cannons.

Last major playstyle is to go all-out with Arcane and be a space wizard. You get to play with slugs and rocks. The Hunter Tools scale up past 50, so they hit like a truck at 70/99 Arcane. This is probably the most gem-dependent build in the game, as you want to convert your weapons to elemental. So if you don't have PS+ and can't farm chalices I don't recommend this build

>>174176242
Skl/Blt go hand in hand, as you get to use guns to parry and your viscerals do a fuck-load of damage with high skill. Also most of the bloodtinge weapons are Skl/Blt weapons.

Another note about the Bloodtinge weapons (Chikage, Bloodletter, and Bowblade). Their two modes are completely seperate, with their untricked forms doing completely physical damgae and scaling off of Str/Skl, and their tricked forms doing entirely blood damage and scaling only of Blt.

For the big split damage weapons, is it better to have 25 STR / 50 ARC, or 50 STR / 25 ARC?

Specifically, I mean which build (ARC or STR focus) is better overall for the following weapons:

Holy Moonlight Sword
Logarius' Wheel
Boom Hammer
Tonitrus

??

>>
>>174177973
1) don't think so. If you're looking to get rid of gems, selling them is faster. I usually sell all gems not currently equipped.
2) Rosmarinus/Flamesprayer for ARC, Cannon/Church Cannon if you have enough STR to use them, Torch for convenience, Wooden Shield for BoM, Hunter Pistol/Blunderbuss for parries
>>
>>174178132

It depends on the weapon

>Holy moonlight Sword
This is better at 50/25, as the swings are mostly physical. The beams are better at 25/50 though.

>Logarius' Wheel
25/50 makes the tricked version a monster. Scales heavily off of arcane.

>Boom Hammer
I'm not sure, I believe this is the same boat as the tonitrus and would benefit more from 25/50 to make the buffed hits even better

>Tonitrus
25/50. The buff is the entire point of this weapon, so you want to use this setup to maximize it.

Overall, I'd recommend 25/50 if you want to focus on just these weapons. 50/25 gives better weapon variety and an overall stronger HMLS

Strength/Sandwich is perfectly possible with weapons from the DLC. The Bloodletter is a mace that transforms into a giant tomato mace. It also adds the Church Cannon and the Gatling Gun, which require strength to use. If you have 15 points in Skill you can still use the Chikage and Bowblade, though they'll be rather subpar in their untricked modes. I personally run a 30/50 Str/Blt on one of my characters

Thanks. I found a damage calculator and I saw the difference in AR for the HMLS with full nourishings was 792 (ARC focus) vs 819 (STR focus), so I guess it's not *that* much worse, if you connect with the beam and the blade. This is with 12 SKL.

I know the boom hammer on an ARC build is useless without the L1 buff, but it has extremely strong R2's with the buff.

How much worse do you think the damage on the wheel would be with a STR focus? I imagine it would make the weapon much stronger to use untricked, which isn't that great on an ARC focus. It still does a ton of physical damage in tricked form too, and the 25 ARC isn't *bad*. You think it would be better if you don't tend to use the L2 health-drain ARC damage buff anyway?

damage calculator is useless for tricked wheel

>Do people hate SKL/BLT players for some reason?
Vilebloods are legitimate cuckolds that get friendzoned during the "questline" with their covenant NPC. The most iconic vileblood build is SKL/BLT with Chikage.
If you want to be taken seriously in these stupid threads, go for Bowblade/Rifle Spear.
>>
>>174180731

In the early days of the game SKL/BLT is all you saw. Chikage transforming attack spam everywhere. For some there is a holdover from that, SKL/BLT is seen as EZ mode. Like Dark Sword spam in DkSIII. For others, it's just a meme.

It's time for autism

>I'd say that if you can survive being killed you are kind of undead
No, you're bound to the dream. But guess what, absolutely no one knows what that means because it is never once gone into. So anything beyond that is pure speculation. Also, to be exceedingly pedantic, undead creatures don't survive being killed, that's why they're un-dead, not resurrected, they died, passed the threshold of death and remained in its domain unnaturally. And folklore across the world is filled with countless ways to keep a corpse in its grave.

>Do they? Henryk, Eileen and Gehrman seem to be fine for their unspecified years
Two of those faces are hidden from us and Eileen says she's getting too old for this shit. Gehrman's in a similar position to us, he's trapped in stasis in an alien nightmare dimension. In fact he's so fucking old he's forgetting his own name.

Gehrman and Maria try to do that with us, to keep us from dreaming, to take alway our immortality. Only an honest death or accepting our death can separate us from the Dream.
>Eileen says she's getting too old for this shit.
How old is never specified
>Gehrman's in a similar position to us, he's trapped in stasis in an alien nightmare dimension. In fact he's so fucking old he's forgetting his own name.
He's a different case I'll give you that but Willem managed to stay alive through Insight so and Pthumerians did some undead stuff with blood.
>>he doesn't know sunlight doesn't kill vampires, but is merely a symbolic quasi-pagan way of driving darkness away from the light of good, they hate light because we hate dark
Good, I though you didn't know that too. But we only walk at twilight so your "they can walk around in the sunlight" is invalid
>Said ONLY by mindless slaughter-mad lunatics who are, too, trapped in a cursed alien nightmare dimension
This is the fate of all hunters so you're not above that, also, Gascoigne.

My point is: in this game hunters are not classic vampires in the same way werewolves transform thanks to alien blood.

All memes aside, the Chicago is pretty good. In its tricked form, it has this games version of bleed which pretty good for certain bosses and enemies.

The Bowblade is really good. The untricked form has a good moveset, and the is great, and you can snipe with it if you use the monocular.

Bloodletter has an amazing tricked dash R1, although the untricked versions range is pretty bad, the tricked version is overall great.
>>
>>174183376
Blunderbuss will stagger enemies while the pistol won't, at the cost of range and longer recover time. If you want to keep the enemy from doing anything, you use the blunderbuss.
>>
>>174183406
You could stand to show clips were you lose. its all about seeing people get fukt, and i'm disappointed in the lack of killian. otherwise pretty good
>>
>>174183376
>>174184165
Also forgot to mention, they both have the exact same startup time so you won't get thrown off trying to parry something with the shotgun if you're used to the pistol. You'll just have to be closer range.

>>174182691
>Like what happens with hunters?
But you had been snared BEFORE your first death. You were just some lad getting a transfusion and got nabbed. If we are undead, explain no longer dreaming hunters like Eileen, Djura and us after Yharnam sunrise.

>Gehrman and Maria try to do that with us, to keep us from dreaming, to take away our immortality. Only an honest death or accepting our death can separate us from the Dream.
But that goes back to the original problem of the absolute vagueness of what it means to be ensnared by the dream and the dream-like terminology everyone works off of. But you can be immortal without being undead. Like Highlander.

>How old is never specified
No, but she does call herself an old woman, though. Old for her job or old for the expected lifespan of her civilization, we don't know.

>He's a different case I'll give you that but Willem managed to stay alive through Insight so and Pthumerians did some undead stuff with blood.
Well, Willem seemed to be becoming a kin or something, by the time we meet him he's a nasty mushroom man who probably doesn't constitute proper humanity anymore. And the Pthumerians had undeath, but they also seemed to have straight up magic with their fire and blood stuff. How Pthumerians made undead we dunno, but they at least some funky Frankenstein stuff.

>Good, I though you didn't know that too. But we only walk at twilight so your "they can walk around in the sunlight" is invalid
Ah, but we do wake up IN the sunrise in the first ending. Or is that after our vampirism is cured or expunged? Honestly we don't get another chance to find out otherwise, you know?

>This is the fate of all hunters so you're not above that, also, Gascoigne.
Sure, but they've actually succumbed to being blood-drunk and have lost it.

I understand that, that's fair enough. I honestly just felt Cainhurst were the vampires what with the big old Castelvania going on, nobility and bat-like gargoyles and bloodlickers.

Why is he so perfect?

The whole time I was playing The Ringed City in DS3, I was waiting for a boss that would be as exciting as Ludwig. The closest we got was Gael but it's just not good enough. As excited as I could be for possible Bloodborne sequel, I know there will never be another Ludwig.

>>174197560
Agreed. That's why the only correct choice is League.
>>
>>174197426
On my way
>>
Is 597 AR decent for the Burial Blade? Using all 27.2% tempering gems, and I have 25 STR / 25 SKL / 50 ARC. I know ARC builds arent meant to ever use the BB, but I'd like to use it for its style and moveset and rally more than for how fast it can kill bosses (it can still kill them faster than I could with my converted weapons before I unlocked depth 5 FRC gems anyway).

Do people with regular STR or SKL builds get like 900 AR out of the thing?
>>
>>174197796
That's pretty fine. A 25/50 STR/SKL build with the same gems is 649 in AR.

>>174197847
Thanks, that's encouraging. I wasn't sure if these kind of weapons like BB, Amy arm and BoM were worth upgrading at 25 STR / 25 SKL, but they're surprisingly not too bad with 27% gems.

>>174203432

she didn't, but it's possible that the design of the crowhunter garb as well as the tradition of sky burials was influenced by mergo's wet nurse or something very much like it

willem's eye mask is influenced by kos too, and mensis who revere the amygdalans wear a cage on their heads similar to the cage-like design of those creatures—different philosophies and subjects of worship in bloodborne inform how people dress

is there anything special about the burial blade's backstep-L1 attack, where you reach out and pull towards you with the tricked scythe?

this won't be a satisfactory answer for you unless you know how blood works and you know the role of mercury in the alchemical philosophy of yharnam's intelligentsia, but the answer is that it's likely a ritual material in the same way the other chests in that area contain ritual materials

it's not plasma for a few reasons

It's obviously plasma, it's golden yellow centrifugation would be a pretty advanced process in BB times. Nowhere does it reference red blood cells being specifically responsible for the powers of blood. Infact old blood, paleblood, lacks pigment entirely so we can assume it's something in blood other than the red cells that are the cause of it's arcane power.

Also reminder you can donate blood ever 3 months, or plasma every couple of weeks.

so it's advanced and it's yellow—I agree with that so far, but the refinement process in yharnam isn't advanced enough to produce plasma as we know it, in the opening cinematic they use a drip technique

>Nowhere does it reference red blood cells being specifically responsible for the powers of blood.

plasma is 95% water (not exaggerating), plasma is a medium for the active elements of blood

>Infact old blood, paleblood, lacks pigment entirely

old blood isn't paleblood, but if you tell me why you think it is I can probably give you some pretty compelling evidence for why it isn't

>so we can assume it's something in blood other than the red cells that are the cause of it's arcane power

sort of but not exactly, blood is a medium that exaggerates what it's combined with (including humans), so although the ingredients inside blood are potently expressed, blood itself allows that to happen

I understand that paleblood is the clear/grey blood you see when you hurt kin and great ones. You seek paleblood to transcend the hunt, you seek the blood of great ones. Old blood is the blood found in chalice, likely from Ebby since that's where blood ministration was first discovered by people thanks to ebby.


>plasma is 95% water (not exaggerating), plasma is a medium for the active elements of blood

When I'm saying plasma I just mean blood minus red cells. Plasma carries basically everything aside from the oxygen. The point is though, the refined blood of isofeka is clearly missing the red cells and probably white cells I'm not sure.

>so it's advanced and it's yellow—I agree with that so far, but the refinement process in yharnam isn't advanced enough to produce plasma as we know it, in the opening cinematic they use a drip technique

The drip technique you see is a regular drip, just used for the infusion itself not the refinement/extraction process.

it wasn't so much they church saying they could heal anything, it's that they pretty much could heal anything.

I think ayy's are like failures, an attempt to find a way to evolve people into great ones using blood. I forget the specifics of it now but I think Rom and CE are both great ones, but not legitimately at the same level as true great ones like Moon Presence or Amy. I think it's implied that Ebrietas is the same, only she came was a pthumerian to begin with rather than human.

The hunters nightmare is a nightmare involving the great one orphan, with byrgenworth originally being the shit of some truly horrible crimes committed the the first hunters, so it makes sense for other hunters who go insane with bloodlust to to be dragged into it. a hunter will always be associated with brgynworth by virtue of being a hunter and the history surrounding the profession. But if you are blood drunk there's no reason for you to be dragged into the nightmare. Why amygdala is the ones who draws the PC hunter into the hunters nightmare I have no idea.
>>
>>174215221

>I understand that paleblood is the clear/grey blood you see when you hurt kin and great ones.

you see it when you hurt the celestial emissaries, but nobody else bleeds white/grey, or at least the great ones you fight definitely don't

>You seek paleblood to transcend the hunt, you seek the blood of great ones.

firstly, paleblood is actually a proper noun in the game so if it were just "pale colored blood" it would be written in the same way "ashen blood" is written (with no capitalization). secondly, 'yharnam blood' is the blood of the great ones. thirdly, paleblood is also another name for the moon presence and the blood moon sky, so it obviously has more significance than just being great one blood

>Old blood is the blood found in chalice, likely from Ebby since that's where blood ministration was first discovered by people thanks to ebby.

you fight her and her blood hurts you and she has the darkest blood in the game

The point is though, the refined blood of isofeka is clearly missing the red cells and probably white cells I'm not sure.

not really, it could also be that instead of something being removed (red blood cells, etc.) something else has been added and allowed to manifest itself more thoroughly which gives it a yellow color

>>174218196

you're being more strict than the game in deciding what can be kin and what cannot

rom, the celestial boss, and ebrietas might be kin, but that doesn't mean they're not great ones

Rom, CE and Ebby have the "kin" modifier.

>>174218193
Every great one you fight bleeds white/grey, same for every kin.

>paleblood

I suppose this one is open for interpretation. Yeah paleblood is referring to moon presence but it can refer to more than one thing and nothing indicates it is referring specifically to MP's blood. I'm, not familiar with the term "yarnham blood", where is this from? i know the scholars refer to old blood and a few messages refer to paleblood. old blood seems to specifically reference blood from long ago found in the chalice dungeons, but paleblood to me seems to refer to any blood of a great one discovered outside the that original encounter in the dungeons.


>you fight her and her blood hurts you and she has the darkest blood in the game

You only get hurt near her if you get inside her arcane bubble during second phase. She has that dribble attack she does, but so does amy and the one reborn where they all seem to vomit it out. Even the PC hunter can do it with the backstep R1 while using the parasite and it appears to be vomited up, so I don't believe it is a blood based attack.

>not really, it could also be that instead of something being removed (red blood cells, etc.) something else has been added and allowed to manifest itself more thoroughly which gives it a yellow color

refinement would mean you are extracting a product from something or removing unwanted components, not adding things to it.
>>
>>174218460
I forget the reasoning but I remember reading that rom CE and ebb are all great ones, but not great ones of the same calibre as others. Also one can be both kin and great one, but not all kin are great ones.

it might ahve to do with those three ascending from a mortal form into great ones, rather than being naturally born like say orphan.
>>
>>174219123

>Every great one you fight bleeds white/grey, same for every kin.

not true, check the game

>Yeah paleblood is referring to moon presence but it can refer to more than one thing and nothing indicates it is referring specifically to MP's blood.

I'm not saying it's referring to MP's blood, I'm saying it's referring to the MP as well as other things because "Paleblood" is a big philosophical idea in the culture of Yharnam

>I'm, not familiar with the term "yarnham blood", where is this from?

blood minister at the start of the game

>You only get hurt near her if you get inside her arcane bubble during second phase. She has that dribble attack she does, but so does amy and the one reborn where they all seem to vomit it out.

it's literally red blood she's spitting at you, youtube the attack

>refinement would mean you are extracting a product from something or removing unwanted components, not adding things to it.

not necessarily, there are multiple meanings to the word

but I actually do think unwanted components are being removed, the blood is a medium for another ingredient, and the medium is being reduced as much as possible to create a more pure substance (so instead of being 80% blood with a bit of something else in it, it's 80% something else with a bit of blood)

I'm sure Amy and Moon Presence aren't kin.
>>
>>174219732

just looked it up, interesting, you're right

Who doesn't bleed white/grey? is it roms head or something? I remember there being a weird expection.

>blood minister at the start of the game

Still not sure where this is, it just seems like a colloquial term for blood used in public ministrations in yarnham.

>it's literally red blood she's spitting at you, youtube the attack

Oh yeah. I'm not sure then. it's an attack of hers, when you attack her yourself and make her bleed her blood is pale, same for the other ascended great ones. What she can spit out as an attack should not be indicative of her own blood. the one reborn I'm not too sure about, that's a failed great one or something isn't it? Either way it's made from human corpses so it should bleed red.

>>174219441
there are multiple definitions to the word and non of them include adding something to improve the product. it fits into the theory that all great ones and kin have paleblood. ascending to that status is essentially the opposite of devolving into a beast. beasts have red blood with red blood cells. So it would amke sense that refinement of blood is the removal of those cells.

>Who doesn't bleed white/grey? is it roms head or something? I remember there being a weird expection.

most great ones either bleed a combination or they only bleed red

orphan only bleeds red, kos bleeds a very dark red, mensis brain bleeds red, rom mostly bleeds red, moon presence only bleeds red, amygdala mostly bleeds red, etc.

>Still not sure where this is, it just seems like a colloquial term for blood used in public ministrations in yarnham.

there are definitions which just mean "to make better", like "nuclear science was refined ot the point of the nuclear bomb"

but I don't think anything is being added to make iosefka's blood vial yellow anyway (although just because it's said to be refined that doesn't mean something couldn't be added to refine it). I think something that was already in the blood has been increased in its ratio of ingredient to blood

With most treatments in real life people will get plasma donations, rather than whole blood. few people actually need whole blood. In situations where you might need a transfusion, say burns or severe haemorrhaging replacing the overall volume of fluid in your system is more important than replenishing the red blood cells.

So my original understanding was greatones and kin have clear blood, with red blood/cells being the potential catalyst for beasthood, whcih is why humans have it. However some great ones having red blood throws a spanner in that.

it gets me thinking how much of the lore is planned and how much of it is just random shit the developers did that we are trying to explain.

If you're talking about Hollywood, they have to calculate their movies really carefully to turn a profit. That's one of the reasons they churn out a lot of "safe" movies based on formulas that are almost guaranteed to turn a profit.

"Human or no, the oozing blood is a medium of the highest grade, and the essence of the formless Great One. Both Oedon, and his inadvertent worshippers, surreptitiously seek the precious blood."

"One of the forbidden hunter tools made by Irreverent Izzy. Borrow the strength of the terrible undead darkbeasts, if only for a moment, to blast surrounding foes back with the force of a roaring beast. The indescribable sound is broadcast with the caster's own vocal cords, which begs the question, what terrible things lurk deep within the frames of men?"

Yeah, the crows are considered part of the "hunter" faction and are enemies to all beasts, as are the bloodlickers, for some reason.
>>
>>174223178

how clear do you need it to be? it's making an explicit reference to how humans can roar like beasts because terrible [see: beast-like] things lurk within men

and the point isn't that we're beasts, it's that we're somewhere above beasts but not quite great (or gods), and humanity as a whole is too young, frail and weak to ascend when you bring its nature to the surface, because its nature is not entirely good, and the bad elements are tempting (like it's tempting to eat pizza for dinner instead of vegetables)

>he thinks that beasthood is functionally physical
you're a special kind of retarded
>>
>>174223829

"functionally physical" doesn't make any sense, but I think you mean "physical in practice" and that isn't really what I think

obviously behaving in a beastly way is a precursor to a beastly transformation, and the transformation itself is more of a visual evocation of what the person is like than just randomly becoming a dog because you had some blood or whatever

but there are still actual humans turning into actual beasts so obviously beasthood as a whole is associated with physical transformations
>>
>>174224093
And what is the function by which beasthood occurs, great genius?
>>
>>174224093
Sort of like Gascoigne, he's already well on the way to beasthood and getting his ass kicked tips him over the edge to cause the transformation.
>>
>>174224180

uh, taking blood and indulging in the darker elements of your nature? I'm not sure if I understand the question

>>174224184

yeah and it's worth considering that it's thought of as natural for a human to revert to an animal when they give themselves over to their indulgences and desires, but without the link between beasts and humans there's no reason to assume a human should transform into a beast instead of, say, a devil

but devils are not lurking deep within the frames of men and beasts are, so men become beasts and not devils

You get dragged into the nightmare because of the item. It's the eye of a blood drunk hunter. When amy grabs you, he sees that eye and thinks you're one of them, so he sends you to the nightmare.

Y'know back in some old Dark Souls general, when people were making wishlists about stuff they wanted to see in Souls games, I *really* wanted to see something like the Duke's Archive prison section but happening more "organically", i.e you get killed by an enemy in an area and you're taken into a prison you have to fight your way out of in order to escape.

And in Bloodborne we got Yahar'gul.

Rom, CE, and Ebby are all creations of/summoned by Byrgenwerth or the Choir. I'm betting the term means something more about the relationship of the GO to the waking world or its means of existing in mundanity than it does about relationships or species.

The ritual in its most basic form is about crossing thresholds, hence rituals surrounding the coming of age, marriage, parenthood, going to/coming home from war, etc., and a medium is literally a thing through which something happens or is carried.

>He carries a staff called the Caduceus, which is still the symbol of western medicine today.

Nope.

The caduceus is the symbol of commerce. It came to be known as the symbol of medicine when in 1902 the US Army Medical Corps made it their insignia at the behest of the mistaken and bull-headed Col. John R. van Hoff. This became something of a meme, but almost entirely in the US, and exclusively for medical-related businesses which were not in themselves concerned with medicine (organ transport, ambulances, etc.) The symbol of medicine is and always has been the Rod of Asclepius. Hermes has NEVER been associated with medicine.

blood is already a medium though, plasma is just a medium which contains another medium

>>174228318

I actually knew all that at the time of writing, but I could see how it comes off like I didn't because "still" seems to imply that when the symbol referred to greek traditions it was always associated with medicine, which isn't the case as you said

but technically it's still the symbol of western medicine today, it's just being misused, but I just edited that section anyway ty for pointing it out

the point I was really trying to make there, even though I was lazy about it, is that mercury, medicine, and divine messengers are all linked together

temperings and yes. consider that even with perfect offshapes it's only 31.5%, vs 27.2%, so over the 3 gems that's only 13% or so and it halves your moveset to tricked form only. The grind is absolutely insane too.
