/bbg/ - Bloodborne General

I want to fuck Kos in the mouth.

Freindly reminder that if you watch anime your father probably hates you and himself, knowing that he raised such a pussy for a son

Imagine being Gehrman in that nightmare and having to be all like "damn,Kos, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your tentacles and horrific ayy lmao face. I would totally have sex with you, both me in the nightmare and the real me." when all he really wants to do is fuck Maria in the Cocktower. Like seriously imagine having to be Gehrman and not only sit in that wheelchair while Kos flaunts her disgusting tentacles in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing her stretchmarks and leathery skin, and just sit there, nightmare after nightmare, hour after hour, while she perfected that dance. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous fucking visage but her haughty attitude as everyone in the Hamlet tells her she's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, KOS LOOKS LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch her broccoli looking alium face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been hunting nothing but a healthy diet of Cleric Beasts and heretics and later Fair Maidens for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Yharnam. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on her dimpled stomach as she sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get eyes on the inside because of her "statuesque (for that is what she calls herself)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard for with Micolash in the previous months. And then the cosmos calls for another miscarriage, and you know you could kill every single fishman in this Hamlet before the Healing Church could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Gehrman. You're not going to lose your future doll fucking career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

My mother is the one who got me into anime, and my father got me into video games. Hell, I could ask my mom for hentai recommendations if I wanted to, and I play with my dad every week or so when we aren't both working.

I'd say they're both pretty proud.

>implying that's bad

New to the bowblade, what should I upgrade for the best dps? I heard skill increases the arrow damage too, but i'm guessing bloodtinge would be best?

Also, is Simon a bitch to fight?

>>124596305
Bloodtinge increases the arrow damage, skill doesn't affect it at all. Simon just gives you the bow for free later if you leave him be.

>>124596305
Simon uses his bow 90% of the time. I managed to kill him at BL30, it was a pain. Both SKL and BT scale with A ranking, BT affects arrow, SKL the blade. If you're not going to 50/50, then do 25/50

>>124596110
I think, at most, it's a visual bug for abyssal gems. Maybe a patch will come, but I imagine all it will do is change the gems' representations on the status screen. It would at least explain why sharp gems can hit at least 27.2 bonus scaling but do fuck all because there isn't an "abyssal" in their name.

>>124596136
No, don't. MLGS is best described as a quality weapon with some arc damage on the side. Investing in arc for it means your tricked R2s and L2s do more damage. The rest of the moveset is fucked.

>>124596359
>>124596393

Ok thanks

>>124596252
>he doesn't get blowey joeys

If you attack simon and fail to kill him will he still be at the same spot?

So guys what do you think of Vaati's new video?

>>124596506
Holy Moonlight Sword is a projectile weapon for pure arcane builds, and a melee weapon for quality builds. Beam spam with 50arc is more than enough reason to use the thing.

>tfw invading in beast form, roaring and baiting hoontas into enemies.

My mind is blown right now guys. So the Reiterpallsch is not that much weaker than the threaded cane and it scales a tiny bit harder but even with the skill scaling gem it doesn't seem like it would be worth taking over the threaded cane as back up to Rifle Spear. What do you guys think?

It doesn't, but none of the trick weapons do, if you get down to the details

>>124597165
Reiterpallasch doesn't get any scaling off the flat arc because it's a split damage weapon, so the bullets still scale with only bloodtinge. It's just that the flat arc gems add their damage on top of everything, including bullets.

It doesn't, all flat damage gems do that. Flat arcane gems are the easiest to farm for though, since all of the others only appear in chests. Regular arcane %damage gems wouldn't actually do anything on the Reiter.

>>124597203
Excluding the threaded cane and the beast cutter almost all the trick weapos can more or less be replicated IRL with a samller size.

also i just realized, when micolash talks about kos (or kosm) and asks if he can hear our prayers.... considering the old ones he aligned with are mergo and mensis.
he was talking to the hunter or more like trying to contact kos through the hunter ?

>>124597714
Co-op is great, but only after doing your first playthrough solo. Otherwise, you can't really say you beat the game, can you?

>>124597741
Best way to make the bullet damage pretty is either farming bloodlickers for their weirdly common off shapes, or farming gun watchers for their 31% off shapes. 27.2% physicals are the easy way out.

>>124597837
Micolash is wearing the Byrgenwerth student uniform, using Choir spells, and babbling about Kos, Rom, and the cosmos. Why would you think he's aligned with Mensis?

well, you can if you're not autistic.
so that rules most of us out.

>>124597905
not that poster but you're sort of right. Some of us just lack skill per say. its the way life works. I think i'm at my skill ceiling because the dlc is absolutely brutal to me. like I just can't parry or anything. Its been a truly terrible experience and I haven't even taken out ludwig.

>>124597714
I will only ever co-op if I've beaten the boss by myself already. So it's usually, first character is a run through, 2nd and up is jolly co-op.

>>124597964
I thought Micolash was the head of the Mensis group.

>>124597631
>>124597739
Yeah I mean they can be recreated, sure, but anything that's folding/clicking/attaching/whatever is very rarely practical, or safe, in combat situations

Imagine the hammer part of the Kirkhammer accidentally detaching mid-combat onto your leg

>>124597837

There's already a picture of that, with the ayylien at least.

Ayys vs. Ferals fight club when?

IT AIN'T FAIR MAN

>>124597964
well the brain of mensis is hanging around in his castle

it´s more about him saying his intro as a reaction to the hunter being connected to kos

>>124598025
Same for me, but i'm more autistic and actually refuse to use crutch items like fire paper/resins on my first playthrough as well

>>124598025
>Co-op for a boss and kill him with a friend
>try the boss on my own and die
>decide to ring
>the guy I helped kill it before comes and helps me kill it now

It is an oddly warm feeling to be reminded me that a Hunter is never alone.

>>124598041
Which would be silly to think, because the game says nothing on the subject at all. He uses choir stuff, has a mensis cage, and is host of the nightmare (whatever the isometric fuck that's supposed to mean). He's a confusing character in all ways.

>>124597792
Check the archive if you want it.

>>124597714
the old hunters usually get in the way. They stagger bosses out of parry/backstab animations and steal visceral attacks (doing no damage in the process).

>>124598056
>let's talk about the realism of trick weapons

Nothing wrong with basic. And no.

>>124598146
>He uses choir stuff
Mensis and the Choir started as literally the same group of people and were tightly knit until the moon ritual shit began. ACB/AoE are not exclusive to either party, and Micolash is not the only Mensis scholar to use ACB anyway.

It's a 43 skill twink, I just never though to apply flat-arc gems to it. I'd probably just revert to phys gems anyway since I'd lose out on the weapon damage.

>>124598265
Sounded like a whiny baby to me. Like, just move out, nigga.

>>124598402
Actually, you're right about that. DLC introduced a new NPC with lots of phantasm stuff.

It's weird that the item description would call it Choir gear, then.

>>124598265
Yeah, Simon was sort of forced in and relatively out of place but that last bit really stuck.

Still have no idea why they didn't use a character already in the lore or one that had implied lore, especially when we LITERALLY got 0 executioner lore and 0 HoH lore in the DLC

>>124598354
I have but it didn't really get to me

>>124598361
that´s kinda low for ludwig unless you´re a god at dodging.

>>124598480
Well, the flat arc would apply to weapon damage too. So all of your melee attacks would be getting the +200~ arcane damage on top of natural skill scaling. How much are you already getting with whatever gems you have?

anyone tried to npc hunter for paarl?

don't want to summon him if he;s only going to die 10 seconds into the fight

>>124598615
He doesn't die surprisingly, but he doesn't do much damage either. He's a distraction though, and that's really helpful against Paarl.

>>124598615
he´s not completly worthless , but don´t expect him to survive the fight

Who's doing the narration at the end?

>>124598496
What more do you need from the HoH or the executioners?
The executioners are a small, fanatic group of church hunters that really, really hate vilebloods and specialize in hunting them instead of beasts. The HoH are hunters that put down blood-addled hunters before they can go on a rampage and cause problems for the hunt, or become beasts themselves. They're mercy-killers.

That's all you really need to know. There's no more story there to tell.

I'm going to make a STR build focused on the ayymygdala arm, is there any other relevant stats other than VIT/END/STR ?

And is there anything I need to do before killing Amelia and rushing through the dlc ?

>>124598730
of the dlc ? gherman

>>124598146
>and is host of the nightmare (whatever the isometric fuck that's supposed to mean)

I really don't think it's that confusing post-DLC.

A Great One can establish a separate layer of reality through sheer willpower, and it can be shaped by a host

The two concrete examples are:

MP+Hunter's Dream+Gehrman
Mergo (Wet Nurse depending on who you're talking to)+Yahar'gul Nightmare Inception Edition+Micolash
Orphan of Kos+Yharnam and the Hamlet+Maria/Laurence/Ludwig is the iffy one, simply because it's never specified who the host is and FROM said the DLC was supposed to be split into two originally so it's hard to say if there were supposed to be two separate hosts and two separate nightmares originally, but I'd say Maria is the likely host simply because she's at the pinnacle of it all. Wouldn't explain Ludwig's nightmare tidbit, though, since I doubt she got to meet him while she was alive.

>>124597486
pls respond

>>124598569
I know, but im doing a low level playthrough and I need the rakuyo for cosplay purposes

>>124598763
pure str gets you max damage with amy arm/ pizza and kirk

if you decide to pump skill to 25, you also have max damage with saw cleaver, ludwigs, axe

or you could put some points into arc for tools and MLGS
up to you

Where do you guys think I should go next?

I'm level 65, I just beat Ebrietas, and I've attempted Logarius a few times but I seem to always get him down to just under 1/4 health, then I get stabbed by a million flying swords then combo'd.

Is he weak to anything? Bolt and Firepapers don't seem to do much.

Should I just go take on Micolash, and get the Bloodrock to +10 my Sawcleaver, and maybe find some better gems then attempt him again? Or is now a good time to try the DLC and maybe finish some chalices?

Stats:
25 vit
16 end
35 str
25 skill
base bt and arc

+10% stamina, all damage down +4%, more echoes, and +2% hp while co-oping runes.

+9 sawcleaver with I think +18%, +12% and flat 7, and whatever droplet from Father Gas.

I'm doing a forbidden forest co-op character with simon's bowblade, where should I go to get the best possible gems?

>>124598842
Ludwig is a hunter. Hunters end up in the hunter's nightmare. It's not rocket science to figure out what happened to his ass.

>>124598842

use saw spear too because it doesn't scale that well anyway

>>124598842
Host is orphan, he's keeping the promise his mother made for the fish people allive.

>>124598763
If you aren't doing 50str/25arc and filling your lost Amygdalan Arm with abyssal nourishing gems from Amygdala, you're doing it wrong.

>>124598842
It really only gets confusing when you try to work out what "hosts" actually do. You can see Nightmare Frontier from Nightmare of Mensis, and you can see the ship masts off the coast of Nightmare Frontier in Orphan's arena, and you can see Yharnam itself below the water from the beginning of Fishing Hamlet. I'm pretty sure all the Nightmare areas are just the same giant Nightmare dimension, and hosts don't really affect anything at all.

>>124598952
Loggy tip

Backstab him while he does his animu powerup to prevent the phase change

>>124598952
Logarius should be beaten before Rom. You're pretty deep into the game to still be having problems with him. Protip: you can destroy the little sword thing spawning the projectiles. You can even lock on to it and just shoot it with your gun.

>>124598952
ebrietas is much harder

go to 30 vit and then get 2 hp runes (puts you up to like 38 vit)
he'll be easy then

and wear tomb prospector set because it has good arc def but still alright phys

For people that don't read HP lovecraft, most of the realms are inter connected, dreams and nightmares included

>>124598979
>If you never kill Orphan, you'll eventually end up in the Nightmare.
>Unlike the other hunters you find, you're so strong that you'll keep on living.
>Eventually you too will become a horrible abomination like Ludwig or Laurence.

That's an interesting thought that they could allude to in any kind of sequel. Place clues that X boss is the Good Hunter from the first game. And have them on multiple bosses just to fuck with people.

>>124599041
A Great One can't be the host, don't be absurd.

>>124598496
Yeah, if there is one thing i'd outright criticize about Bloodborne it's lack of interesting NPCs.

When i think about how many lines of dialogue you can squeeze out of Hawkeye Gough in Dark Souls 1 for example depending on what you do Bloodborne really just pales in comparison.

>>124598952
Destroy the sword he plunges into the ground, that's what summons the flying swords. He's strong agains arcane, fire and bolt IIRC. The trick is to parry and visceral him. Before he goes super saiyan you can stagger him too quite easily.

From has a habit of doing shit like that. One of the armored core games has you fighting the player character of the last game as a boss.

So according to From Soft the DLC was originally supposed to be split into two seperate DLC, but no matter how much i think about i simply can't think of a spot where the first DLC could have ended without it either being retarded, or one of the DLCs having significantly less content.

Where do you think was the original split?

>>124599323
>Probably not, because Moon Presence is nameless.
who said anything about names?

>>124599349
Maria has final boss vibes

>>124597969
>>124598023
The bosses are designed with single player in mind. If you add another player, the boss has to focus on one of you, which gives the other person breathing room. You're not meant to have that breathing room, and having it destroys the tight design of the bosses. Just get better at using i-frames and you can beat the game with 10 Vit.

>>124599349
DLC 1 Hunter's Nightmare

DLC2 Research Hall + Fishing Hamlet

>>124599472
Yeah but imagine them putting 2 areas, and 4 bosses into the first DLC and then the second DLC literally just being Fishing Hamlet

I doubt that's where the split would happen.

>>124599349

We would have gotten more content if there were 2 dlc, there is stuff missing because deadlines and pressure.

>>124599349
dlc 1 ludwig and laurence

dlc 2 maria and kos

it was probably planned to be episodic dlc from the beginning

>>124599349
They probably meant that they originally intended to have 2 separate DLCs, but when they began working on the first one, they decided to just put all their assets into making it and only do one instead of 2.

I seriously doubt they were working on 2 separate DLCs simultaneously, complete with their own level design and then just suddenly up and decided to take all the work they'd done so far and moosh it into one amalgamation of content. They probably just decided to put twice as much work into the first dlc instead of making a 2nd.

>>124599349
Everything pre-research hall would be the first DLC, and everything research hall and after would be the second DLC. First one is about hunters, beasts, and the church experimenting on beasts with Ludwig and Laurence as bosses, and second one is about ayyliums, people being turned into ayyliums and experimented on by the church, and Maria/Orphan as bosses. No, Living Failures isn't a boss, it's an interlude.

Final prize for the first DLC would've been beastmode, and penultimate prize for the second DLC would be kinmode.

>>124599543
>>124599472
>>124599349
Yeah, Maria clearly was an ending to the DLC.

I'm betting they were going to have four areas, but when they ran into trouble either with time, creativity, or budget, they nixed one of them and we got what we have now.

>>124599349
I think:

>Hunters Nightmare and Research Facility was meant to be one DLC

4 bosses keeps it fairly in line with Artorias and the Dark Souls 2 DLC's.

Most likely why they combined it was that they had no idea what else to add in the fishing hamlet.

It's fun to write one-liners like that and make it sound like they couldn't do with more fleshing out, and you can do something similar with Cainhurst who got some fleshing out through the DLC anyway, but HoH/Executioners were in dire need of actual story and got absolutely none

Executioners being the more prevalent of the two, by far.

>Church took after our holy shawl, but we're an order of church hunters
>We really, really hate the Vilebloods for using a brand of blood that the church acknowledges does bad things
>Good thing no other blood does bad things
>MAN WE REALLY HATE THOSE FUCKIN VILEBLOODS THOUGH
>Our leader is undead just like theirs though haha
>And uses blood magic just like they do
>Also we use it sometimes too
>We also use Cainhurst relics with incredulous frequency
>Our weapon is called Logarius' Wheel but Logarius doesn't use it and never once did
>He has a scythe shaped like a Pthumerian Elder firescythe and a weapon from a previous game and is way too tall to be human but don't mind it
>PYRAMIDHEAD

They're either the "useless fact book" of the Bloodborne world or needed a few fucking lines of story to make them remotely cohesive.

HoH are a really shitty one shot, the idea is cool but gameplay/story wise it ends up sort of just being an Eileen circlejerk, the Executioners as well. There's no actual depth to being in either covenant, whereas Confederates and Vilebloods both get some motivation.

>Vilebloods
>Killing top-of-the-food-chain hunters for Blood Dregs to stuff up their queen's cooch for a Great One child

>Confederates
>Cleansing the world of Vermin, a task they righteously took up as they're the only ones who can see them

>Executioners
>REEE VILEBLOODS REEE
>No Vilebloods you can actually kill in-game unless you do Eileen's story

>HoH
>Eileen handed me a badge
>sweet
>gonna go pvp with this now haha
>random chance to pvp with otherwise friendly hosts

Should've been a new NPC. Meeting Eileen's mentor would've been cool.

Does the beasthood meter increase faster the more damage you deal, or is it entirely based on which attacks you use?

This desu.

The plan was probably 2 DLCs before they began developing it, and then while they were developing it they were just like fuck it and put it all into one. I'm also sure that we would've gotten a little bit more content, like one additional area if it really was 2 DLCs, since the deadline would be different.

>not having it to character name in the first place
I like it when I summon people and they either have a retarded name or their name matches their character. Plus I hate the fact that I have a shitty PSN ID and Sony has no fucking way of letting me change it. I don't want to make a new account either because I have purchases linked to this one.

Should I go the 25 skl for more damage and eventual claws?
Right now I am enjoying using Amy Arm.
Should I go ALL IN VIT?

>>124599865

Other people still see your psn name if they have it set to psn, its just you who sees their character names.

>>124599831
Nah, it'd be easy.
You just have to have more than one reference to the Good Hunter's fate.

Maybe you fight a big ass Great One, and it drops the Doll's comb, implying that this great one knew the Doll.

Or you have a beast that drops something similarly related to the Good Hunter.

And so on.
For added fucker, they could make it so you can only ever fight one of them in a play through.

>>124599945
I know that, but it helps me cope with the pain of not being able to name change and hoping that other people set it to character names also.

>>124599803

>>124599865

>>124599841
If it had been 2 DLCS, the 2nd one would've probably been something else completely. I think the extra time and manpower was just put into fleshing out the first one and making it as good as it was, as well as stuffing as many weapons as they could into it.

That's one thing, I think. They probably had the weapon and spells planned at first and then decided to just put them all into 1 DLC. That's why a lot of them just seem haphazardly handed to you and the density of weapons is so high.

I'll also bet that the beast rune was a last minute addition and flaming cleric beast as a bit of a last minute recycle just for the sake of having some proper way to earn it.

>>124599831

Honestly i feel like both the Beast and Milkweed rune were very last minute additions. The models are really bland and i also feel as though it's more fan service than anything else.

Does being able to change into a beast/kin and back at will really go with the lore? I don't think so. So yeah i think it really was 100% fan service, because so many people were very disappointed that there was no beast mode in the game.

>>124600125

Claws don't really need skill, you can use them just fine with only strength. For maximum claw fun, pick up two abyssal heavy gems in chalice dungeons.

He literally is Blue Smelter. That boss had one or 2 new attacks, too. His second phase has like 3 attacks and they could recycle the model rigging from Ludwig's spit for the lava spit, as well as recycle most of the attacks from the crawling swamp zombie dudes for most of his attacks (which is exactly what they did). Laurence's 2nd phase has like 3 actually new animations. He's mostly just a patchwork of recycled animations, which more than anything is a sign that he came into being as a concept near the end of the animation portion of their dev cycle, since they only have so much time to access a mocap studio.

Laurence was an afterthought.

>>124600361
Slow the fuck down, retard. Miyazaki said in an interview for DaS1 that Solaire links the fire in his own world after helping the player with Gwyn. DaS2's dev said in an interview that the ashes you find for your estus flask were Solaire's dust, after he cooked himself to link the flame. And if DaS1's Dark Lord ending was canon, there wouldn't be a DaS2 for exactly the reasons illusion Gwynevere says.

This isn't rocket science.

>>124600361
Slow down anon. At the end of DS1 someone does link the fire, either you or Solaire. But you're right in the sense that DS2 says nothing has nothing to do with this, however.

wat.

isn't the whole point that you're meant to make your own conclusions? I think it's a fair call to say that in DS2 the chosen undead in DS1 linked the fire, but also it is very likely that by the time DS2 came about, there had been a few ages of fire or dark

The only time I've ever seen Sony let someone change their account name was when they were reported for an offensive name. If your name can be considered vulgar or racist then get a friend to report you and PSN might force you to pick a new name. The other possibility is that you get banned though.

>>124600317
It's the fan's name for the player character. In each game, the fans refer to the pc by the name that your level-up waifu uses. DeS is the Slayer of Demons, DaS2 is the Bearer of the Curse, Bloodborne is the Good Hunter, DaS1 doesn't have a level up waifu but titty lady and toothy dick both call you Chosen Undead so that stuck.

If you were going to reuse the pc character as a boss in an act of pure fanservice, you might as well refer to them by the name that the fans do.

Because they put way more work into bloodborne than DaS2. There's really no comparing the two games other than the fact that it's a meme to hate one, and a meme to fanatically ignore all flaws in the other.

"It's okay when bloodborne/miyazaki does it!"
Face it, Laurence is a shitty, low-effort last minute copout made entirely of recycling content. Recycling content seems to be a recurring theme in bloodborne, what with you fighting the same enemies for half of the game across various different areas. It's just okay when miyazaki does it

>>124600721
Nonsense. Dark Souls 1 and 3 are a story and probably will flow directly into each other. Dark Souls 2 is fanfiction and AT BEST it takes place in an alternate reality, Star Trek-style.

DaS1 didn't have a level up waifu, and instead it had the most interesting NPCs in the entire series, who actually feel like they live a life of their own and don't center around you. The amount of different dialogue you can get out of NPCs in Dark Souls depending on what you do is immense.

>>124600782
The Beast Roar tool is basically Force from DaS1, but better. Beastmode's built-in roar is entirely different: it doesn't knock shit down and only staggers, it does minimal damage, it's slower to startup, and it builds minuscule beasthood.

>>124600782
The built-in roar is shit, It is every bit as slow but only staggers instead of knocking back, and doesn't stagger long enough to be useful.

>>124600782
The roar is just a stagger/reflect tool. The damage buff comes from the free beast pellet mode. It's basically a berserk meter. The roar is a bit OP in PvE though as it can stagger literally everything, even bosses like Maria.

You can either go bolt paper and be a dark beast or do a STR + ARC quality build and use the shell for the retardedly OP arcane buff. Personally I did the latter because I like easily-renewed resources and bullets are way easier to get than bolt paper.

>>124600885
Well to be fair the level up waifu is still in the game, she's just a boss instead.

>>124600984

You can't really disagree on that point.

>recycling content seems to be a recurring theme in bloodborne

More like a FROM thing in general.

You'd think Demon's Souls has nothing to contribute to Bloodborne, but the sheer quantity of sound effects from it is staggering.

Dark Souls 3 is looking to have an absolute fuckload of stuff from Bloodborne just straight ripped. It wouldn't surprise me if no reviewer even mentions this because most of them are PKeks or Xboners more then likely.

If Rom's dead then you can't go to Gaol anymore. You have to get there the hard way, fighting through the hordes of respawning red phantom enemies and lasers.

Arc claws are kinda shit since beasthood only boosts physical damage but still reduces your defenses. I'm sure you could hit some interesting numbers with three abyssal cold gems, but you'd want 99 insight and clothes with low beasthood so your defense penalty doesn't go any higher than -20%.

I don't think it's really an issue. It's one thing to reuse visual themes and concepts between games, and it's pretty benign if the only assets you're recycling are engine code and sfx samples. BB's problem is more with the fact that the same enemies appear and reappear so many times in so many different places throughout the game. Considering that your first real combat encounter is a horde of yharnam villagers with the pitchfork variant, the sabre variant, the sickle variant, the shield variant, the gun variant and the torch AWAY AWAY variant, and the brick dude and the dog; the fact that you encounter these same enemies in Central Yharnam, Cathedral Ward, the path to Hemwick, Forbidden Woods, Yahar'gul and the Hunter's Nightmare is pretty silly. They're primary enemies for almost half of the game, and almost every single enemy type outside of Byrgenwerth and Cainhurst appears in at least 2 different areas of the game.

You really get tired of fighting the same things after a while. No other souls game ever had this problem.

>>124601230
Back up what you're saying without random insults. I'm not a fan of that guy and I don't know what he says about DkS2 but I've played through the games and there seems to be no connection between 1 and 2.

Dark Souls and Bloodborne have just as many connections just by merit of being From games and having Patches, Moonlight Greatsword, and Chester from Oolacile. What source do you have for your belief that DkS1 and 2 are in the same world/timeline/dimension?

Why is one of the most powerful healing items in the game right outside the last required boss fight? Good question anon, but maybe it'd be silly to think someone else couldn't have gotten a sample from Iosefka and left it there. She does give it out like candy, after all.

>>124602438
When hunters become blood-addled, their pupils collapse, which makes for a very obvious visual indication that they're about to go all beasty. They bandage their eyes probably because they don't know what's wrong beyond the fact that they suddenly went blind and their eyes are fucked up, or to hide the evidence of their imminent beasthood.

Wait for a fucking second.
Isn't this a Maria's brooch?

>The Bergynwerth Spider hides all manner of rituals, and hides our lost master from us.
Does it mean Rom was stopping rituals, or merely covered them up? I was under the assumption Rom was stopping Mensis from completeing their ritual, but if that was the case they wouldnt be chanting in the Gaol at that time. As well, Micolash and friends had been reduced to mummys at that time, so how long had they been in the nightmare for? It couldnt have just happened recently.

Also the gates being unlocked when Rom dies makes me think he was working to protect the Mensis ritual.

for reference.
I have something like high 400's AR for the Claws, around 1,100 AR with them at max beasthood. Amy Arm doesn't do the greatest, but the fast wide-arcs are still good for PvP. The non-tricked club is near-useless if you ask me, I get most of my kills from R2's, charged or otherwise.
779AR on Whirligig if you like that, I hit Laurence for almost 1,200 for my first R1 when tricked with Beast Pellets and Bolt Paper applied, full meter does over 4k for a charged R2.

>>124603089
Ringing as well

>>124603228
Rom is probably just hiding the Mensis ritual, and not working against it in any way. The second half of that note is the victim of bad translation, it's actually referring to the Amygdalas everywhere. You know, the ones that become fully visible after you kill Rom.

Anyone feel like helping me kill bloodletting beast in lower pthmeru before my bus comes?

>>124603301
Those claws shouldn't be hitting over 1,000 AR if they start with 400, 300 beasthood is the final breakpoint and only gives a +70% multiplier to AR. If you really are getting that high with them, then they might've buffed beasthood with the patch and nobody noticed yet.

>>124602920
Just another thing that confirms that people staying on lower levels are afraid of facing actually strong builds instead of opponents made of glass.

>>124603228
He HIDES the rituals, anon. He's the reason you can't see the red moon, or the Amygdalas. He's keeping the ritual from sight so that Mensis can continue to work in secrecy.

Worth pointing out that spider in japanese can also mean cloud, and the symbolism of Rom obscuring secrets the same way a cloud obscures the moon is pretty relevant. It also implies that the lost master is the Moon Presence, which would make sense since "Mad men toil surreptitiously in rituals to beckon the moon."

Worth noting that in medicine, ROM refers to the rupturing of the amniotic membrane in pregnancy prior to the beginning of labour (aka their water breaking). Considering you fight Rom on a thin surface of water beneath a lake, and immediately see the freshly C-sectioned Queen Yharnam and hear the cries of Mergo immediately after killing him, that's also a pretty relevant bit of symbolism.

>>124602920

But with 99 ARC you can only have about 35 VIT. Sure, it makes you pretty strong, but you'll die if you're so much as sneezed on.

>>124603689
You can go to BL135-140 and have 50 VIT, 99 ARC and even few points in phys stats to use more weapons. Being at 140 also softcaps your natural defense.

Honestly, thanks to that softcap i think 140 is the most balanced FC pvp level simply because going higher won't give you any real advantage.

>>124603513
Nah, that was a while ago. Gems and Beasthood stack individually. You get your ~480ARx27.2=____x27.2=____x27.2+_____x70=end result AR.
It's how I hit 9k with my Kirk and 32.6% blunts, especially instead of a visceral on broken head armor for Amy or Bribri.

>>124603562
Fear has nothing at all to do with it, matey. The higher you go, the less build diversity you encounter.

At BL150, there are exactly three builds: 50str/50skl, 50skl/50blt, and 99 arc. 50str/50blt might pick up steam once the DLC runs its course, but that's later. At BL100, there are seven builds pre-DLC: 50str, 50skl, 50str/25skl, 25str/50skl, 25skl/50blt, 50arc, and 50str/25arc. Build meta in the 80-120 range is just more diverse than in the BL150 range, fights are more interesting, and the players are generally less shitty. I don't know why the latter is true, but it's awfully consistent.

>>124603037

>>124603881
>At BL150, there are exactly three builds: 50str/50skl, 50skl/50blt, and 99 arc
Also 99 VIT single stat builds.
Also 99 BLT snak mages with 500-550 AR evelyns.
Also high stamina single-stat builds like rakuyo or bom ones.
Also specialized MLGS builds with nourishing gems, STR/ARC builds with nourishing gems and amy's arm and boom hammer.

BL100 is only good for single stat builds. BL140 (fuck 150, 140 is the real meta) allows you to create vitgouges and hybrids plus caps your natural defense, while still giving you ability to invade 120 and be invaded by 100.

>>124603816
Kill the witches, upgrade your weapon to +6, clear Pthumeru dungeons depths 1-3, and hintertombs dungeons depths 2-3. That should cover everything possible before Amelia.

Of course, if you actually do the depth 3 dungeons you'll shit all over the rest of the game with your turbo gems, especially if you do depth 3 roots.

Not anymore, not as bad as it was at least.
Prior to DLC patch you could only invade people standing a few meters away from you, now you can invade people who are near the fog gate to one reborn while being at second lamp post.

>>124604178
50 vitality and Clockwise Metamorphosis gives 1,724 hp. Going to 99 vitality gives only +461 more hp. If people are willing to spend 49 levels just for that in a game that doesn't let you stack defense the same way DaS1 did, they're retarded.

Evelyn gets 29 more base AR at 99 bloodtinge than it does at 50 bloodtinge, which is even more of a waste of stat points than the 99 vit one. Madaras Whistle is probably plenty strong at that point if it works anything like the arcane tools, but considering the user themselves can literally walk out of it I don't see it being even a blip on the radar. Unless the people you're fighting are retarded I guess, which would be in line with what I said earlier.

High stamina Rakuyo and nourishing phys/arc split weapons are a legitimate point, though.

However, I personally think making hybrids with no downsides is fucking retarded. There needs to be some offset to investing in two different damage stats, otherwise there's no reason to invest in a single stat when investing in two gets you the same shit and then some. Again, a higher level reduces build diversity.

I know I get over 1,000, I've seen it before. There is a small margin for error with scaling and rounding up, but it's not gonna make up for the missing 200AR.
