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

only the blunderbuss causes stagger
ludwig's rifle too
also parrying at close range with anything but the blunderbuss is pretty chancy, as you have a high risk of shooting over the opponent's shoulder

also both the lamp system and the blood vial system are straight from demon's souls, not sure how you could dislike them here while seeming to not mind them in demon's souls

I'm loving this fight with Maria.

It's not really all that difficult, at least, not to the point where I feel like "THAT WAS UNFAIR!" when I die. It's because I fucked up on that dodge, or I overextended and didn't have the stamina to avoid her whole combo, etc.

Trying not to just parry her to death, mostly because it feels cheap and I'm actually enjoying this fight. Especially following the fucking slog that was the Living Failures. Fucking jelly-headed niggers spawning behind me during the meteor shower and OHK'ing me with that fucking headbutt.

Great theme, though. Holy shit everything in the DLC has a GOAT-tier theme.

Why? It's not like you get back more health than an attack takes away. Also durability in DaS2 was annoying.

as far as r2 is concerned its actually one of the best change in BB, you do have to learn how to use it effectively however

as far a ambushes are concerned there are many but if you are a souls veteran its nothing new, like how DaS was pretty safe for DeS players.

Personnaly the best game in the serie by far

My pet theory is that he's actually the vermin. It's not so much a single great one as it is an entire race of cosmic parasites sharing some degree of distributed intelligence and will. He's seen as 'formless' because the church lacks the science to properly detect parasites residing within blood, and he represents both blood and voice because the influence that he has on the minds of his host as they're slowly turned into beasts is probably akin to a whisper in their mind.

I wouldn't be surprised if all of the positive effects of the blood are the result of the vermin as well. They probably feed on the old blood and get invigorated whenever they're given a dosage, giving positive effects to their host as a result.

>>123833302
Horrible tracking of every attack and every dash-attack is far too long resulting in simply dashing past the one you're trying to hit because of the shit tracking. It looks super cool and the rolls and dashes look awesome too, but from what i've experienced its pretty shitty.

It's an upgrade to the worst weapon in the game but the beast claws are still absolute shit, even with the new moveset, and have no pvp value.
>>
>>123832945
Health consumables were horribly implemented in DeS. I understand the design philosophy behind it (make people return to early areas when they run out of health items to see how much stronger they've become), but it's annoying as fuck and had a terrible effect on the game's PVP. I only used the blunderbuss.

>>123833251
>Also durability in DaS2 was annoying
A little bit, but it mattered. It was cool to use a back up weapon for fighting hoards and to pull out something stronger for bosses in my opinion.

And I just said it isn't encouraged to kill cleanly, there's no investment fighting a single weak opponent whatsoever.

>>123833264
>as far as r2 is concerned its actually one of the best change in BB
It's satisfying to use a charged up R2 (especially the explosive one for the stake driver), but R2s not really comboing unless you charge them up limits the moveset.
>>
>>123833302
I looks cool but it's not very good from a practical standpoint, I get better results with vanilla beast claw
>>
>>123833506
I just never really looked at that one weapon specifically. after dealing with the game multiple times and just making a blt/skl character, I assumed it was a skl/blt weapon just like chikage. Mainly because you needed a decent amount of blt to weild it and it shot quicksilver bullets. I never actually looked at its scaling until now.

Use something other than the blunderbuss then. If you're close at all to a humanoid enemy the chance of your shot flying over their shoulder is like 90% and you'll be punished severely for it.

I always saw it as the arcane power of the Blood is due to Oedon, and the Vermin are parasitic hangers-on. If the Blood gets stronger, then the Vermin who thrive therein also do, which is why dropping the Moon and making Oedon horny turns people into beasts

The Beast Cutter is a str/skl weapon, but it doesn't scale very well in general. There's only one thing that's good for str/blt, Bloodletter. Well, and the big Powderkeg guns I guess.

>>123833179

I'm doing the DLC right now at level 90 in NG. It's no cakewalk, but it hasn't been a -huge- challenge either. I'd say minimum level is around 60 or so. Still have trouble with a few things at 90, but I also never use the NPC hunters or call other players in to help, so I guess it also depends on how good you are.

That's not what I was saying. You just chose the Drakesword of guns and thought you had the full experience on parrying, or enough experience to talk at all about the parrying. All of the scattershot guns, and there's only three, trivialize the parrying system.
>>
>>123834013
Blood is the essence of Oedon, and it's logical to assume that arcane-powered blood is especially strongly connected to him. We also know that everytime the moon drops, two things happen: oedon knocks up a bunch of women, and people turn into beasts. So, putting facts together, we suppose that

Moon drops -> Oedon gets horny -> him getting riled up riles up the Old Blood -> people turn into beasts

Throw Vermin into the mix, and so conclude that the Vermin grow stronger when the Blood does
>>
>>123834013
"The Old Blood" is literally the blood of Great Ones, like Ebri, Amy, Paleblood, Kos and Oedon.

Imbibing all these different kinds of blood is what turned people into all the different kinds of beast.

>>
>>123834217
Kos is bloodless and Paleblood is a metaphor. There's no such thing as 'paleblood' it's just a cryptic message telling you the sky is fake.

A blood moon or harvest moon is a certain time of the year when the moon appears red due to science things. It's linked with all sorts of occult stuff and superstitions. The "Paleblood" hint that crops up throughout the game is alluding to the fact that the red moon that's been beckoned by the mensis ritual is being hidden by Rom. Hence it's a Pale Blood Moon, or a "Paleblood sky".

The whole Paleblood thing is just a cryptic way of saying "uncover the truth behind the ritual." There's no actual thing that's paleblood, it's deliberately a misleading play on words.

Since the Hunter's Nightmare is meant to be a curse upon sinners, then why are the Research Hall patients present? Wouldn't it be a greater mercy for Maria to put them out of their misery instead of drawing them into the Nightmare, like the Hunters?

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

He basically shut her the fuck down, until you come along and ruin everything.

Also amusingly, I used the bone blade on that anchor one that's on the way to the 2nd lantern, after pulling every other enemy on that path to him.

Is there anyone else who prefers "You Hunted" to "Prey Slaughtered"? It's like the difference between "You Defeated and "Victory Achieved". The operative word of "You Defeated" and "You Hunted" is "You". That's the whole point of these games. It's you who overcame the boss, so the text should reflect that. "Prey Slaughtered" and "Victory Achieved" are too abstract for something that should feel congratulatory.

i think >>123834873 has the best grasp of what paleblood is. the message in yahar'gul: "Behold! A pale-blood sky!" makes it pretty clear

you could make a case that paleblood is the moon presence because of the note in the nightmare lecture hall, but well, for one thing his blood isn't exactly pale. if he's paleblood it's because of the pale-blood moon he's associated with

in general too much fan theory gives short shrift to moon presence as "a really powerful Great One," but not really as a significant driver of the plot

Byrgenwerth sinned in the fishing hamlet, and then the Church sinned again in their research labs -- they seem to have made a backdoor into the nightmare with the astral clocktower, with the hunters as their lackies. maria got sick and tired of this sinning, and set up a nightmare to punish those responsible -- constructed a nightmare version of Yharnam to do so, and sealed off the fishing village to protect the innocents therein

>>123837013
Also from what I've gathered, The reason Vilebloods are so 'vile' is basically because their strain of blood is from a completely different source than the ones the church uses. This is why all of the women that have or have attempted to bear the child of a great one have been connected to that bloodline (Yharnam, Annalise, the whore). Their blood is from a different great one, so it can interbreed. I think this is why blood dregs look like sperm. To the vilebloods, the church's blood is essentially sperm. The Church hates them because it's a dangerous strain of blood entirely outside of their control that might start shitting out a pantheon of abyssal gods any second and violate their monopoly on eldritch truths. Annalise is trying to get knocked up on blood dregs precisely to bring this about. Ironically. she's the only one that wasn't chosen by the great ones to bear a child.

A great one can't breed with itself. They haven't really been breeding with humans so much as using their bodies as surrogate incubators.

This is a good point. Even Lovecraft was very specific about his mythos not being some concrete pantheon of gods and whatnot, but just a vague and inconsistent narrative tool to be bent as his writing saw fit. People trying to tease out some precise science to the influence and natures of each of the gods are missing the forest for the trees.

Fair point, the victims of the Research Hall don't look like proper ayyliums anyway, even after they finish transforming. They just turn into those meat balls full of fluid and they talk about water instead of cosmos.

It seems like they're analogous, but they're pretty different because the root of their transformation was a sea-based Great One instead of one from the stars or one associated with blood.

The choir is stated to have originated from the orphanage that didn't exist yet in the time Maria was alive. You can enter the celestial emissary's garden and there's no orphanage connecting. The choir doesn't exist yet.

It's likely the choir is really just the humans-turned-kin of the church that found and venerated Ebrietas.

Which area, though?
MORE BLOOD doesn't have any space that'd be conducive to pvp and is too enemy-dense. It'd just be a pain in the ass for both parties.
The research ward is more of an exploration zone so invasions would just get in the way, plus it'd be really out of place to have a naturally spawning bell maiden there. Hamlet would also be out of place, plus the second half already has the bloodletter dude, so it'd only be that first short section in which you repeatedly invade people making suicide runs at the well and watch them get anchor'd before you can reach them.

You find numbing mists outside of cainhurst. They're just a generic "I hunt and kill people" item, which is why you find so many around the dedicated invasion covenant.

In her case it's a clever double-entendre. You get them from her as rewards before you have context and they seem innocuous. It makes sense for a doctor to have some kind of numbing medicine, right? Then later you realize it's an item held by people who hunt and murder other people and she's got them on hand because she's a choir tool that took over the lab by force and has been using it to experiment.

The hunters have always been the muscle of the blood-meddlers, whether they called themselves scholars or clergy. The early workshops cleaned up the beastly messes in Burgertown and Yharnam, then the church workshop did the same thing on a bigger scale, just as the Cainhurst knights served the same function at the castle. But all hunters are capable of hunting things other than beasts, and if you've got them on the payroll already, why not use them to subjugate some small fishing village? With hunters on your side, even magic-wielding fishermen are no problem. The Cainhurst knights are pretty directly shown to employ their skills for darker purposes than just killing beasts on a regular basis.

I think it's foolish to imagine hunters were all good, decent people. Plenty of them ended up blood-addled, after all.

Am I not using the Saif correctly? I swear it has shit tier hyper armour compared to most of the other DLC weapons and it doesn't stun nearly as well as the Saw weapons or even have as good damage as them.

That's not the point, of course the Hunters were used as dumb muscle.

Why not send the rest of the Church/Byrgenwerth staff there as well? Stopping at punishing the muscle, but not including the guys who are actually in charge, is dumb.

Or maybe it DOES, and that's where the Hunter's Nightmare gets it's supplies of beasts, piles of bodies, and nightmare versions of insane patients, from

You are projecting anon. You outright assumed I invade people just to fuck up their progress and troll them.

I do it because I like dueling niggas, I don't mind when people invade me and if I have summons I'll sit down and let the invader fight them 1v1 or 1v2 instead of 1v3 because it's more fun that way. Just running in and ganking someone 1v3 is boring.

>There are passwords and fight clubs. You're literally nothing but excuses.
And what if you don't like the layout or atmosphere of chalice dungeons? I love PVP'ing in different areas, it keeps it fresh. Just sticking to one area ALL the time is boring.

Saif may be a DEX weapon but it plays like a strength one. It's actually slower than Saw Cleaver which is a fucking strength weapon you tit.

Loran is just beefy. All of the mobs there are just big HP bags, and the bosses, too. Even with an ideal setup your +10 minmaxed optimum gem weapon will still take more hits to down standard mooks than when you encountered them in the main game with a babby ungemmed +2.

You can't get much better than a fire gigsaw for Loran so you're about as good as its gonna get. Just be prepared to need to hit things a lot because that's just how that chalice is made.

I'm genuinely interested, Are you seriously insinuating that assuming and projecting are the same thing?

I don't really know how great of a weapon tonitrus is on a pure arc build, but it'll probably serve you better than the hunter's axe. Ludwig especially is a DPS fight. A weapon that can shit out concurrent damage when you mash R1 is ideal for him. Failures are easy and most of your damage to maria will be via viscerals and stunlocks so that doesn't matter too much.

I haven't actually used the axe against the orphan but I don't think it would work well at all. It's generally not a great weapon against mobile enemies like that.

The Plague of Beasts is a curse that plagues ALL of Yharnam -- the Hunters, the Church, Byrgenwerth, everyone. All parties that are responsible have to deal with it, and the fact that it strikes innocent yharnamites and generations of Hunters that are far removed from said sins is fitting with Simon's bitching about how unfair it is.

The idea isn't without precedent, either. Curses come from pissing off Great Ones, we know this from the Defiled Chalice, and it's implied from the Loran chalices that they were cursed, and succumbed to beasthood as well. Therefore, the idea that Beasthood is a literal curse is already established in the base game.

The Hunter's Nightmare just sets up a bunch of obstacles that are set to prevent anyone from getting to the Orphan and breaking the curse, which is intended to last forever

ad hominem is attacking a person's character to sidetrack from the argument, your poor character IS the argument, you REALLY need to learn the definition of the termms you're yelling, this is the third post in a row you've come off as ignorant.

>Person B has no right to claim they're not trying to inhibit anyone's progress.

Please, anon, I'm begging you, put your self-absorbed ego asside for two seconds and just read what I'm trying to say, I can deal with an ass, but I can't stand an idiot and you're doing nothing to prove you're not one.

you're more than fine for loran, but that 15% radial in mensis can still help
there's a pretty big spike in enemy health going from depth 3 to depth 4 and again going from 4 to 5, so your damage is fine

if things get a little too hard, pick up a saw spear or cleaver

>>123841771
cleaver is barely a strength weapon, it's strength-weighted quality
the actual strength weapons i.e., the ones whose strength scaling bonus is at least twice that of their skill scaling bonus are all slow
>>
>>123842137

Just to get through the DLC you mean? You could just keep using that axe, that's fine. Threaded Cane is my favorite arc weapon aside from Parasite, but anything that doesn't have split damage will work.

I also wouldn't recommend HMLS, it's mostly a quality weapon, on the magic splash attacks use arcane.

>>123842458

It's kinda limited in that it's only good on an arc build when it's buffed. When it's just normal it's a strength weapon.

>>123842568

Dodge to his right, swing once, back off. Repeat until dead.
>>
>>123842137
Hunter's axe is as serviceable as it ever is. You should be able to kill Ludwig with it at least which is what I did before switching to the saw mid DLC. After that you can switch to MLGS.

However MLGS is more a quality weapon than pure arcane so keep that in mind.

It's not broken enough for all these Ludwig Memesaber babies.

It's more Strength than Arcane, as well. The best thing you can do with the projectile attacks is charge one up so that you hit your enemy with the blade AND the charge. Does massive damage, but if you want to run Arc/Str, and not Str/Arc, then it's not the weapon for you.

It's awful. I'm a compulsive explorer so I'll end up clearing every room, finding every treasure and going down every path before I head into the bossroom. I really have no idea which ritual materials I need to grab for the next chalice and of any of the random garbage materials they're constantly throwing at me are even worth the effort, but it just feels weird not finding everything before moving on. Unfortunately, thoroughly exploring chalices has got to be the single most boring endeavor imaginable. It's nothing but bland, samey rooms with the occasional stray enemy and the rare actual combat encounter with the same enemies I've cleared for the last 4 layers.

This feels like dark souls 2 again, both in the quality of the level design and the strange feeling of abject futility when an extended detour leads you to a large chest containing ritual blood (2) that you already have a dozen of.

The single best place to farm souls is the first floor of the Lecture Building. There's a room with around 20 slime students inside, each of which drop around 750-775 souls on NG. You can easily lure them to a door and kill them with Tiny Tonitrus, or alternatively get a big sweeping weapon like a Hunter Axe and apply bolt gems to kill them.

Beast Blood Pellets give you temporary access to the Beasthood meter, which increases with each attack you perform but drains rapidly. Beasthood increases your physical damage output, but also increases the damage you take. You need a very fast-hitting weapon (something like the Blades of Mercy) to actually build it up to appreciable levels though.

Gives you a beasthood meter

The more it's filled the higher damage you dish out and take

>and again from 4 to 5

Not really. 4 to 5 is a minor bump. 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 are the big spikes. You go from ~1.5x base health to ~3.8x base health to ~6.5x base health. Depth 5 is ~6.9x base health, not that much extra over depth 4.

>>123843269

That's actually a bad way to split. You should go 50/25 or 25/50. LHB is the only weapon that's dead even on scaling.

>Still thinking that vermin causes beasthood.

Vermin Description:
"Perhaps there is some mercy in the madness. Those who wish to see vermin can, and those who choose to are provided with boundless purpose"

League Staff
"There shall be no sympathy for those engaged in the bloody mission of the League. No matter that an oath must be taken to uphold the illusion. "

>But the Headless blood letting beast and silver loran beasts have oversized vermin within them

No, their official names are Hateful Maggots and they exist only in undead or dying beasts. They are not giant centipedes or anything.

>Then what is Beasthood? What caused it?
I don't know exactly but Beasthood is the opposite of insight, the more you have of one, the less you have of the other. Once we know one, we can guess the other

3rd Brain Fluid Description:
>We fail to realize our own latent potential, until the moment it is lost, and we sense its absence. Ironically, this is the very nature of insight, like the moment one licks one's own blood, only to be startled by its sweetness

If Old ones are using Humans to impregnate or outright adopting us as in the case of the Orphan, it means that within each of us is the potential to elevate ourselves beyond our current human self. However, in classic Lovecraft madness, these attempts are so alien that we instinctively reject them, actually lowering ourselves to beastly idiocy to keep ourselves familiar. Exposure to Old Blood (and by extension the whispers of Odeon) begins this processes, if you don't have enough insight, your path is to become a beast. If you have too much and are driven insane by it, you turn into a brainsucker.

Yeah it's more or less just a way for non-arc builds to access some ranged arc damage, which is shit. The actual Ludwig sword is a better arcane weapon than the MLGS, and with enough arc to wield it you could just buff any other weapon with the shell for some arcane damage.
>>
>>123843985
Most heavy weapons build Beasthood really well. They get large chunks per hit. I have a very easy time filling it up with Kirkhammer or Ludwig's. R1 spam on it is better than, say, R1 spam on a saw cleaver. Though saw cleaver transform attacks are great at filling beasthood.

I haven't done a lot of investigating, but I imagine most weapons have some attack or another that builds beast meter quickly.

Honestly, anon, it's not really worth it unless you feel the need to have every advantage you can. I decided to settle for sub-optimal gems simply because the RNG is given all the time in the world to fuck you in the ass.

With the Winter Lanterns in the Hamlet, there's now decent phyiscal gems that are really hassle-free to get.

Imagine having to run to a chalice lever, immediately killing the boss, then remaking that chalice repeatedly to farm a single blood gem each time. That's blood gem farming.

And some gems you need to get from layer 2 or 3 bosses, then you need to savescum instead to right before the boss each time you kill it.

I've always liked the idea that her face is actually a gaping wound the Church has inflicted and that the Altar of Despair is so fucked up and destroyed because of her efforts to escape in some way.

The pizza cutter ends up at S scaling for strength actually. It's the ultimate strength weapon.

Which is really odd considering the hammer and Amy Arm top off at A.

Jesus christ this thing. Why does it outclass every other strength weapon so blatantly. I feel like I'm breaking the game using this on bosses. I trounced Ludwig with it only at +6 and every main game boss since then has been an absolute joke. It has everything and damage. It's hard to even justify using a different strength weapon knowing that this one exists. WHy does the saw mode do so mocuh more damage than the kirkhammer while also being faster, having a better moveset and taking less stamina? It has no business being this good.

Bloodborne baby here. Got the game for the first time the other day and have been having a pretty good time. I just confused about one thing, I'm not sure if I'm at the right level or not. What's the established community level cap for a fresh character? Also I just beat The One Reborn and leveled to 55. Am I'm over-leveled, under or just about right? Thanks in advance.
>>
>>123845808
>it's the ultimate str weapon
No, have both Kirk and pizza cutter at 10 and put the same gems in them but Kirk still has a higher AR. the scaling on weapons in this game don't make sense sometimes

Technology is what separates us from the beasts.

A spinning buzzsaw on a stick is far more effective at beast slaying than a simple rock on a stick.

If you were to look at the weapons in real life and consider which one would cause the most damage to bare flesh, the buzzsaw wins over the other options pretty easily.

The untricked version is also very good in pvp

>>123846241
one reborn is about 60
endgame probably 70-75
>>
>>123846241

The online end-game meta ranges from 100-120. Some people sit at various spots between 30 and 80 for activity with NG players, though, so you're still solidly in that range.
>>
>>123846241

You're about the right level. You should probably do some optional areas like Nightmare Frontier before you hit up Nightmare of Mensis.

80-120 is the PVP meta. If you're only going to PVE it doesn't really matter.

A spinning buzzsaw on a stick wouldn't even work as a weapon. It'd tear itself out of your hands the moment it found itself something to dig into and the teeth would be worn through in minutes. What the hell even powers that thing? I don't think they had batteries in yharnam.

The problem with trick weapons is that every single one needs a unique and interesting gimmick or else they're just shit, and there's only so many unique ones you could make so the pressure is high on a few excellent ones to carry the roster.

This is why we end up with shit like the Tonitrus or Boom Hammer, and why one of the biggest flaws with the pre-expansion BB was the lack of weapon variety. Even post-expansion, it's still somewhat of an issue, but at least now most builds have some degree of variety.

How do you even fuck something like that up? It's so simple and elegant as a concept. But instead of being a fun explosive hammer to smash things with, it's a DaS2 greatsword with a +10 fire damage buff that you reset after every hit.

The system has flaws but when it succeeds at what its doing holy shit does it.

The weapon issue would be greatly alleviated if instead of throwing all the weapons into the dlc they could have distributed them earlier on in the game.

Ultimately I would have expected a sequal to this game to address the issue by having twice the weapons of Bloodborne. The possibilities are fantastic for the concept of this, but now we are going back to regular ass sword and board fantasy bullshit when we had weapons with insane identity and flavor.

Big M himself said they are done with the Souls series after 3, and he considers this part of it.

I honestly worry about that company, they made AC which was pretty good back in the day and the Tenchu series which was okay at best. They grasped lightning in a bottle with the souls series, but they are giving it up.

I'm bias though, I would play a new souls game annually forever if they continued to innovate on the series enough.

Fortunately, it seems like DaS3 is taking some lessons from the trick weapon system. The whole weapon art thing gives a lot more identity than they used to have, and shaking things up by having some weapons dualwield instead of just 2handing is a step in the right direction.

My problem with BB's system is mainly that a proper trick weapon needs both modes to be meaningful and interesting, needs to have a fluid and effective swap attack and needs to be distinct from all the others. Shit like the gigsaw is a neat weapon,. but it makes poor use of the system because why the hell would you ever use the club mode? Same with the Bloodletter. Then you get weapons like the beast cutter that are useful in both modes, but have really slow and shitty transformation attacks that make it clunky and awkward to switch ranges and react to your enemy; it's literally faster to swap to a different weapon then swap modes with the cutter.

There's a tonne of trick weapons that don't really take advantage of the trick feature and end up just being either 2 weapons with a slightly slower swap feature or 1 weapon with an extra moveset nobody uses.

So Valtr. You surpassed him in league standing and are considered worthy enough to lead the league. He's proud to have found a gud huntah to stamp out filthy vermin. So he leaves you his purity bucket and teaches you the proper white makes right stance. Then he succumbs to his severed blood drunkedness and drifts off to the Hunter's nightmare?

Since he was always batshit after eating that beast, and hunted for a long time so he was close to being driven totally mad. He just clung on to the League because it was the only thing he had and could be a bit proud of. Even if the entire basis of it, kill hidden parasites infecting people, was something he couldn't even do himself anymore. Since he lost the ability to see.

Does this add up? Summon him at +5 stomps and he's got no helmet, and he's known as the Beast Eater. Gave in to madness and went to Valhalla.

Summon him below 5 vermin, he's got the Helmet and master of the league. He's just doing his business as a good confederate.


How retarded am I/wrong?

I really like him, he's pretty interesting and a bit of a batshit badass.

I don't disagree, but I'm just looking at the companies track record. They made a lot of sub-par games before the Souls series.

I don't think the souls games are anywhere near Ass creed or CoD bullshit, but I do honestly have the fear every time a new souls game is announced.

Ultimately I fear that we are losing out on something special. Nobody else even comes close to this series, and I doubt anyone ever will.

I feel you, these games are something special and something I crave. If they stopped forever I'd be bummed. But I also recognize that's just asking for trouble, it'll water down and eventually shit up the whole series. So it's good if they end it when they feel like or at least take a long break.

However, I am excited at the prospect of clones. It'll take some stumbling but I honestly like the idea of people trying to follow the style of Souls games while adding their own flavor. Ni-oh has me hyped as fuck.

I can't decide if I want to remake my beast claw invader. It was made before the DLC and so it has enough arc for roar, which is now of questionable because beast form has plenty of roaring, and I could be getting up to 25 strength instead of having that. But then again I'd have to remake it, and go through at least some chalices again just to get the claws. I also feel like beast roar is still of some use.

What do you think, /bbg/?
>>
I have two questions bbg.
1. What enemy do you farm in FRC dungeons for 27.2 gems?
2. Is it worth using the cursed gems that give you 26% attack but -10% vs beasts and kin? I know for pvp it's fine but what about pve? Is that 10 really noticable?

Seems fairly on the money. We've seen in cases, like Gascoigne and the music box, Amelia and her Medallion, Ludwig and his sword, that Hunters and even simple clerics-turned-beasts can hold on to an aspect of themselves, even when the blood drives them totally nuts.

Ludwig had a sword, Gascoigne had his family (until he didn't) and Valtr had the League.
>>
>>123848394
Look at their track record a little closer. Look at it and be in awe of the absolute mountain of work they've done.
And so much of it is shit, mediocre, weird, or obscure as fuck. But damn if they haven't been working their asses off. I mean christ, you know they did a medieval chinese horror game with dark souls magic system style combat? For the PS2?

But they also made armored core games? And a first person exploration space horror game?

They've got a ton of variety and a huge track record behind them. With the money that flooded in from souls they'll be fine for a long time. Their games aren't always fantastic, they don't always sell well. But they finish them hue close enough and they'll get shit done on any budget. They're going to get offers like from sony that payout and they can also do their own thing and tackle smaller projects. FROM will remain as it always has, and eventually they'll plop out some weird marvel again.
>>
>>123848459
Yeah, go to the wiki on fextralife and it'll tell you. For a lot of them it's pointless for them to be sold since you already have to do a lot of farming to get to that point. For instance, ritual blood 4 and 5 require the yahrnam stone
>>
>>123848394
I would like if they went back into making some old stuff. Would love another Armored Core on next gen. Yea I agree, after playing this series no other game just feels the same. But I hope they take a break then maybe in a few years, they tease the return of souls.
>>
>>123848459
they only sell endgame materials, i.e. blood 5. and they don't sell arcane haze, so you can't go straight to d5 chalices because you need the haze extractor from d3 pthumeru. once you get that though you can skip straight to FRC isz and get gems for most builds
>>
>>123848639
nah, since the last patch you can buy blood 5 on NG+ even if you've never done a chalice. you still have to beat yharnham to unlock blood 4, though

you can also buy bastard of loran, so you can skip loran, and you can buy red jelly, so you can go straight to ihyll if you want

bone ash hunters always drop radials no matter what chalice they appear in. there is a very good glyph for FRC isz with a bone ash hunter at the first lamp

this isn't perfect, but it does get you pretty powerful quick (2x 23% + a 27%), and it's REALLY REALLY helpful for Arcane builds because 23% is the best you can do for arcane radials. so you can finish an entire Kos Parasite build with just isz

>>123848634
Stakes are much higher for them now than they have ever been though. They are actually in bed with huge publishers that expect results.

I played the Kings field series back in the day and somewhat enjoyed it, and thats the funny thing to me. Almost this entire companies career path led them to making these games.

You can clearly see the Tenchu in Dark souls, the world design and gameplay concepts from Kings field and Eternal ring. Hell even Armored core had some of their twists to it.

Now I'd love it if they took a good solid 3 year break or so to pop out another souls-like game when they are ready. But them saying that they are done is terrifying both as a consumer and for them honestly. They are extremely good at making ONE style of game and poor at making any other.

It's late as fuck so I ain't awake but damn never thought of the other times this sort of thing has happened. Long time hunters or users of blood are all subject to the beasthood, just some can hold it off better than others. And they do that by finding some object or idea to focus on so they don't lose control. That's a cool theme actually. Sad as hell though. Glad I wasn't too stupid about Valtr though. I kinda wish we could talk to him at least once in the nightmare though.

You definitely want 40-50 BT, maybe around 25 strength but you won't be using the untricked version all that much. Go for pure physical gems, 27.2%, the high base damage means you'll get the most benefit out of them.
>>
>>123849862
it depends on how much you parry. tinge gems don't increase your visceral damage, so if you want 1 shot parries tinge gems are not ideal

What's recommended VIt for PVE builds?

30 is the first softcap

to be blunt most builds at 100 have 45, because most builds at 100 aim for 50 in a primary stat an 25 in a second

if you want to do 50/50 at 25 you need to make deep vit cuts and be glass. 120 is the first point at which people normally do 50/50 builds

You only find runes in root dungeons.

The only things of note in the pregenned dungeons are the normal beast claws.

>>123850747
That's called the Macaroni Substitution. What you're actually doing is substituting one of the attacks from your R1 combo string in for your rolling attack. It's a common glitch with lots of weapons. If you delay after certain R1 combos it will also do it. Try doing transformed Saif R1 > R1 > delay, step > R1. You'll get the 2nd R1 to come out. You can repeat it over and over. Works with lots of weapons, though it's slightly different on all of them. E.G. with Chikage UTF you do R1 > R1 > R1 > delay, step > R1 > R1 > delay, step > R1 > R1, etc. It will repeat the 2nd and 3rd attack Only a few weapons can Macaroni a rolling attack, though. AFAIK only Saw Spear, Hunter Axe, and Saif can do it, and only in their transformed states.

Whoever gave Micolash call beyond should be drawn and quartered.

I've heard people say that paper adds 80 flat and converts it from physical to elemental damage but I still don't buy it.

I say this because my ARC build kills brainsuckers way faster with a Firesaw than a paper'd Saw on my quality build.
>>
>>123851248
I have not fought Micolash once legitimately. When he initiates his 2nd phase where you have to chase him and he drops down a ledge, don't drop after him. Just run down the staircase to the left. It ends up with you having to chase him infinitely. Just get in running attacks on him until he dies. Never drop down that ledge.
>>
>>123851050
>>123851079

Yeah, that. Don't let that number trick you, on most weapons it won't do anything unless you stick an elemental gem in there.

I'm pretty sure you can stagger him with any gun but obviously you run the risk of missing with the pistol.

With the blunderbuss you can just crowd him into a corner, wail on him until you're out of stamina, blunderbully him till your stamina has regenerated, and repeat until he's dead.

the softcaps for stats are always 25 and 50. up to 25, you get really good return-per-point. from 25 to 50, you only get okay return-per-point. the amount of return per point is based on the scaling (C, A, S, etc.)

generally the idea is that if a weapon has one scaling that's way bigger than the others, you want to take that stat to 50. but if the weapon has 2 scalings that are pretty close (e.g. C/D), you want to take both stats to 25

ignore arcane scaling if you're not doing a specifically arcane build. it only counts if you put gems in the weapon to make it do elemental damage

Each letter represents a range of coefficients. I don't remember the exact ranges but it's something like:

S 100+
A 85-100
B 65-84
C 51-64
D 30-50
E 0-29

There coefficients are taken, as percentages, and multiplied by the weapon's base AR. The resulting number is the maximum bonus for a given stat on a given weapon. E.G. Saw Cleaver has a 60 Strength scaling, so its maximum strength bonus is 180*0.6 = 108. That means that at 99 Strength, you'd get 108 bonus damage on Saw Cleaver from your Strength.

Anyways, the vast majority of weapons with an S scaling have a coefficient of 110. The ONLY exception is the Kos Parasite, which has 160 arcane scaling. A scaling vary a bit more. Kirkhammer has a 1.0, I think Bloodletter Strength is also 1.0. Hold on, I've got a spreadsheet with this shit.

Ok, see pic. "St Sc" = Strength Scaling, "Sk Sc" = Skill Scaling. These are the coefficients as percentages, the "true" scaling multipliers behind the letters.

I'm still not really sure how to beat them. Just DPS'ing them down with strong weapons is fine but I die whenever I can't kill them fast enough to stop their meteor attacks.

You can get some attacks in while they're charging, and can use the big sunflowers in the center as a safe zone if you look up to see which direction they're coming from. You can also use the plants to block the attacks of any that are chucking space magic at you. Just remember that you can both stagger and kill individual Living Failures even though they all have the same HP bar, so whittling down their numbers before more of them show up is how I killed them.

You seem to have mostly gotten the advice you needed, but here's one final warning:

Watch your ass during meteors. Hiding on the other side of the tree works just fine, but if you or any cooperators you may have kill a Failure just before or during the meteor phase, a new one will almost certainly spawn in the space behind you.

The new Failure is not locked into the meteor summoning animation like the others, so it is entirely possible for it to headslam and/or arcane blast your ass for an instant kill while you're feeling safe behind your tree. If you don't have a free target during meteor phase, camp as close to the tree as possible and keep an eye on your surrounding for any newcomers.

I'm fairly low on END(12) right now, not sure if I should drop more into it or just rely on runes.

You can only buy Blood (4) after defeating Yharnam.

Nobody ever considered that the Pthumerians watchers and Yharnamites might just live side by side in the town?

Think about it, they serve to protect the Healing Church and it's secrets, while the Healing Church helps keep the labyrinth from prying eyes, it works for all parties involved.

So wait, the labyrinth watchers are undead or not? What about the church servants?

Endurance depends on what weapon you're using. I'm guessing MLGS from those stats. Generally more endurance is better for weapons focused on multihit combos like the blades of mercy. It's also now a consideration for pizza cutting. Most people generally go 15-20 and just stick on the +20% stamina rune though. It's not a high priority stat.

Also, you could probably still do with more vitality. Another thing to consider is that clockwise metamorphosis runes are pretty much the best defensively. Also their effects are multiplicative so a 15% and 10% rune is 126.5% total HP.

A guy with 50 vit is going to have over 50% more health than you. It's also far better for cooperating as there's no worse feeling than getting ganked in a single hit or combo and wasting a beckoner's insight. The health penalty is extremely noticeable at low vit.

Well that was quick. Thank you.

>>123853365
What is the arc for? You'll be doing mediocre damage with the tools.
>>
>>123852316
Thank you awsome anon, so even with stregth 30 i still havent reached the max damage output for my executioner axe.

So to truly have highest damage output requires you to go past 100 to max level?

Also have you noticed that Kos and those things praying before the boss fight have some fucking qt faces? I would facefuck them.

I haven't beaten her and I can buy it on my NG+ character. Maybe getting to NG+ also triggers its availability?

NEW THREAD YOU LAZY FUCKS

>>123853830
Why not just kill Simon at the start?
>>
>>123853736
You don't reach max damage until 99 in all stats the weapon scales with for its damage type (e.g. Strength and/or Skill for physical, Bloodtinge for Blood, Arcane for Fire/Bolt/Arcane), but increasing the stat after 50 hits such hard diminishing returns that it's not worth going over it unless you're planning on getting max level or something.

At 10 in a stat, you have 5% of your total scaling bonus.
At 25 you have 50%.
At 50 you have 85%.
At 99 you have 100%.

11-25 are the best returns (3% per stat point spent), while 26-50 are also good an worth investing in (1.4% per stat point spent). 51-99 gives you about 0.3% per stat point spent.

The servants are creations of the Church
Basically abominations created to serve. You can find some "failed" on your way to Iosefka.
They might be made out of separate bodies as experiments, or just highly mutated church members which are not quite beasts but no longer human

I'll be using the Rakuyo and Bowblade on my Skill character, but is anyone else having trouble leaving their comfy vanilla BB weapons?
>>
>>123854052
Nope, I've used literally every vanilla weapon to death, Im done with em.
>>
Whats your main weapon as of now?
>>
>>123854052
I still miss my cane, but my first char is on NG+++ now and basycally of no use and I can't be bothered to make another SKL build when there are shit ton of other builds to try out.
>>
>>123854052
As an also axe user, I kept it all the way through Maria.

Then I switched to Whirligig for Fishing Hamlet and Orphan.

Pizza cutter just rubbed me in all the right places. My axe became my secondary weapon for the first time in ever.
>>
>>123854052

Nope, dropped my axe and cleaver like hot rocks.

>>123854052
The one you're most used to will always be the better choice

I've used the Kirkhammer from NG to NG++ on my main character, and now going through DLC with it and the Moolight blade as a side weapon.

Also, my first Orphan kill on an NG character was with the Saw Cleaver

I feel the same way about the beast claws without the beast embrace rune
>>
>>123853692
Hmm, thanks for the insight, that's some pretty good points. I'll defiantly rethink my stat distribution.
>>
>>123854052
I love Beast Claws. I was pleased they got some new stuff. I HATED the Saif at first, but my God, that small zip forward on the R1 attack is heavenly. It fucks up Old Lord's Keeper something awful, kek.
>>
>>123854107
Untricked MGS.

>>123854173

I don't think I could ever go back to using them without embrace. I miss the L2 series, but you just can't beat that fucking jump attack.

Did you have trouble with Ludwig because of his weirdly off-center head? My jumping R2s with the axe missed every time when I went at him from the front.

Hold your head a little to the left, Ludwig. I-I just want to visceral your stupid horse face.
>>
>>123854240
I found the jumping attack to actually be pretty shit, pretty much everyone knows it's coming and is gonna just dodge it.
Hell, I've killed so many Beast mode nigs by letting them do their jumping attack and countering with the vanilla claw jumping attack.
>>
>>123854272
I had trouble with Ludwig until I realized I should make every single effort to be behind him instead of in front of him. Also I think I untricked and stuck to fast R1s since staying mobile eventually became a priority to not dying.

Especially for his second phase.

I died to his sword wave of infinite stunlock and death twice before realizing it entirely did nothing behind him.
