/bbg/ - Bloodborne General

First for KOS

Stake Driver or Boom Hammer?

>>143938834
Stake Driver

>>143938815
>not KOSM

You fucked up everything.

>>143938834
Both. Switch between the two depending on situations.

>>143939153
There's not a single situation where Boom Hammer could be useful

>>143939153
But I already have the LHB in one slot

Quick Q: I'm a Skill build, I don't require strength beyond 10 to use the weapon of my choosing. I have 15 spare points
Should I put them in str to get soft cap (this adds 39 AR to my weapon)

or allot the points elsewhere?

>>143938975
Only fags call it Kosm.

>>143938815
>>143938975
You could sit about and speak feverishly about new ideas of the higher plane but instead you keep bantering about this beastly idiocy.

>>143938834
Stake Driver for single targets, Beast Cuttah for groups, Boom Hammer for home maintenance and repairing other weapons.

>>143939230
Maybe not but it looks fun

>>143939320
Depends on your current stats and weapons. I'd probably say elsewhere but there's no way of knowing without seeing stats I guess.

>>143939321
>Luci calls it Kos
Enough said

>>143939320
You can put them in Arc to reach 15 which will let you use EPS (if your weapon allows it) as well as the utility from Beast Roar and Augur. And if you can use EPS then you'll also enjoy using OHB since you'd be exactly that kind of fucktard. Then put whatever's spare into Vit.

>>143939804
Just because a cancerous tripfag calls it Kos it doesn't mean you fags are allowed to call it Kosm.
You probably call niggers "afroamerican people" too, don't you?

>>143939804
I opted on the 39 extra AR.

Gonna be SL100
35/20/25/50/5/15

I can't even touch the cursed keeper of the old lords, I'm too hot and angry for this now.

>>143939435
>the proper name of a entity of the eldritch truth
>not important

Get a load of this beastly idiot.

>>143939923
>allowed to call it Kosm.

Why would anyone call it anything other can Kosm?

>>143939923
You don't?

>>143940182
Then what do you call the Moon Presence? Lunar Aura?

>>143939230

Tricked uncharged r2 is great to farm watchers. Staggers them through each of their attacks and has decent range

>>143939967
>35 vit
>20 end
>25 str for Rakuyo or Burial Blade

Your priorities are all fucked up and I look forward to someday two-shotting you.

>>143940461
I don't PvP, sorry.

>>143940743
Then there's no point to a level-capped build at all.

>>143940884
Unless he wants to try co-oping on stuff.

>>143940884
I don't plan to exceed sl100, I'd like to play with friends who are also sl100.
I like to optimize my build at set levels. Whats the fun at sl 99*6

>>143940983
This is what passwords are for.

Either way if you plan on NG+ing or chalice delving you'll want to divert some of that Str or End into Vit.

>>143941429
If push comes to shove, i'll go SL115 and have 50 vit.

Is Amygdala easy or am I just overlevelled?

>>143941950
Nightmare Frontier Amygdala is easy.
Defiled Chalice Amygdala is easy too, but more of a pain in the ass.

>>143942018
Glad to know I'm not actually getting good at the game.
Now, where the fuck is Patches? I owe him an asskicking.

Any tips for where I should take my build?
Currently it's Level 57
>Vit 20
>End 22
>Str 26
>Skill 13
>BT 16
>10
Going strength build obviously, mostly using Hunter's Axe.
Also, I keep getting my ass kicked by Logarius, is it worth activating my two free days of PSN and calling up help?

>>143942302
Put more points into End.
Stick close to him and make sure to try to keep behind him or anywhere else that isn't right in front of the fucker, because he'll rape you.
Also, backstab him when he starts charging to fuck up his power-up and hit his sword when he sticks it into the ground to stop it from spamming its shitty spell.

>>143942302
Learning to beat him by gitting gud is a far better option. And I'm not just memeing or anything here, it's genuinely satisfying and if you summon for him it will just feel like a hollow victory.

Get Vit to 30 then pump Str to 50, whilst bumping other stats to meet requirements for weapons or tools that interest you.

>>143942595
Mainly my problem is landing a hit on him, the axe is kinda slow and he hops around a lot.
Thanks for the tip though.

>>143942747
Just wait for him to do a charged attack, faggot leaves some huge windows when he does those.

>>143942724
Cool, thanks.
If you don't mind, can anyone explain the weapon scaling system in BB? Do the weapons get better scaling as they are fortified?

>>143942595
>Put more points into End.

>>143942724
Honestly, I believe one should beat every boss in the game by himself at least once.
I know they can be hard and annoying as fuck, but it always feels more satisfying to finally kill the fucker all by yourself rather than by relying in someone else or in a summon.

>>143942871
Weapons do get better scaling as they are fortified, and generally fortifying a weapon will give it more damage that upgrading a stat so that should be a priority.

Stats have two softcaps. They give a good damage increase until 25 then after that the increase is lower until 50. After 50 the damage gain drops off severely up to 99 which is the hardcap. Vit softcaps at 30 and 50, and End softcaps at 40, but generally speaking any point put in End is worth more in another stat because the gains are minimal and can be offset by simple stamina management.

Finally beat Maria's ass for the first time and got my Rakuyo on my skill build and holy shit, what a fun weapon.

Chalice BSB was actually a fun time, but I need 8 fucking chunks to get it up to +9.

Any good spots to grab a lot of these, or am I just better off running chalices and getting insight to spend at the messengers?

Assuming you just ran to the well and got the Rakuyo without doing Hamlet proper, Hamlet has Chunks all over the shop.

If you've already ran through and got them, Isz layer 1 Brainsucker boss tends to drop 1 or 2. With a bolt paper and parrying you should be able to get all 8 fairly quickly.

Start over. That build is a mess. And Logarious is pretty easy once you learn his gimmicks.

Also when starting a new build your priority should be getting 20 vit, up to 15 - 20 end, then 30 vit, before really boosting damage stats.

Yeah, I grabbed the sword right from the well and went back to chalice grinding. I'll do a proper run of it tomorrow, I guess.

I can't wait to tear up some more bosses like the spinning sword top I am.

>>143943495
If you have the lower depths unlocked then the boss drop them. Boss rush all 3 layers of ptwrx6tb if you want to farm chunks and stones.

So, I made it to Rom.
I entered the arena.

No music is playing, I don't see the red boss bar at the bottom. Rom is just sitting there.
So, here I am, standing behind her, wondering if I should make the first move. Don't know what will happen if I stand in front of her or not.

Too scared.

>>143948167
Well, I watched Youtube videos of the game a year before I finally bought it.

>>143948194
I'm honestly scared to do this.
Since I'm standing right behind her, I can get a clean first hit in, but if I stand in front, I'm afraid I'll lose my chance.

>>143948254
Right. You'll just be hunted and eaten by them or fall victim to the many, many plagues and diseases of the day.

>>143948414
Fun times in Yharnam.

>>143948413
>one hit matters
just get a good look at the cutie before everything gets heated.. You probably won't first try the fight anyway, so that hit doesn't matter.

>>143948530
Damn, now I feel bad for this.
I walked in front of her and she doesn't attack me.

I guess I'll have to hit her to get this over with.

It's more efficient to go past 50 vit than to put points in skill for a str build though

My pet theory is that it's the proximity of the moon that causes it, the closer the moon is the worse the scourge. It becomes a tug of war between Rom repelling the moon and Mensis beckoning it down.

Blood ministration might very well be a benign medicine without the moon in-atmosphere

With a BLT build, it sucks dick for this whole first half. How to you guys deal?

>>143959462
Get to the second half as fast as possible.

>>143959462
By rushing to chikage. In the meantime, get shit like vit, end and whatever skl/str stats you need in order.

>>143959462
get the bowblade right after amelia

>>143959462
it's not the build that succ, anon...
it's you

How should i be playing my BT hunter pre chikage?

>>143963809
Level vit and upgrade another weapon you like in the meantime i guess?

>>143963809
Make sure you have the basic requirements to use chikage when you unlock it. In the meantime, level vit and end with the occasional investment into blt so its not super weak right off the bat. Also make sure you have enough materials to upgrade chikage once you unlock it. Getting past Loggy can be hard depending on your level but at the very worst you can summon from here.

>>143965345
Yeah im pretty confident i can clear the castle but logarius is hard low level. I dont have to clear hemwick to use the monolith do i?

>>143966214
I think you do, but even if you don't, you might as well since its close to the boss fight, plus it gives decent echoes and a semi-decent farming spot.

>>143966214
You have to. But it's easy mode and a good opportunity to level up a bit.

Have you crushed your daily quota of vermin today /bbg/?

Do eye runes cause lanterns to drop gems more often?

>>143973385
I think they can. If you plan to farm them for gems rather than chalice dungeons, might as well use them.

>>143973556
Im just farming the hamlet lanterns before going into chalices. Just curios as towhether they affect item quality versus just drop rate chance

>>143973750
I think they might get them to drop a bit more often but it won't stop you from getting an atk down or a -hp curse.

Anyone who has ministered blood can become a beast on a night of the hunt (a full moon I guess, once a month), but you're protected from it by the messengers. That's what the intro cutscene with the burning wolf in the clinic was all about.

>>143958061
>My pet theory is that it's the proximity of the moon that causes it, the closer the moon is the worse the scourge
That's what I tend to believe as well, but then why does MP send you to kill Rom? Is it because MP's ultimate goal is to have you kill Mergo, and you can only access the Nightmare of Mensis when the moon is close?

>>143976073
>Just gotta take it slow and never get greedy
Or stand outside his range with a Beast Cutter and spam transformed R2s.

>>143976367
No, Henryk is Eileen's target before the red moon and the crow is her target during the red moon.

>>143976415
How is killing his Wet Nurse kill Mergo?

>>143976467
Because she's Eileen in case you didn't notice.

>>143976467
The "nightmare slain" message doesn't come up when you kill the Wet Nurse, you have to wait 10 seconds until the crying stops. I think the implication is that Mergo is the real target and Wet Nurse just gets in your way.

>>143993093

Anon, you're in for a ride

I'm a little shocked no one has savescummed root dungeons in order to find a more accessible shotgun watcher

Question here.

So, the point of going to the hunters dream and take the role of a hunter is to kill Mergo, am I right?

But why Moon Presence wants to kill Mergo? Angry whit old ones? Just doing it for fun?

Also, where is Mergo? Why when you kill the wet nurse he/she dies seconds later? Who is the wet nurse anyways? How did she take Mergo? Why are they at Mensis?

This is the only point not explained at all in all the game and is one (if not the most) important things (it's your main goal after all).

This game needs another dlc or a second part.

Someone post that Coldsteel edit with Crowsteel.

>>143994584
It's the purpose of that particular hunt. No one knows if Moon Presence really wants anything other than a surrogate child, and if everything else about the dream is just MP's surrogate being who he is. The Mensis Nightmare was created through beckoning Mergo. Wetnurse is shielding Mergo with her body.

Anyone up for some Ludwig?

>>143994584
Possibly it's to kill Mergo. It might also be that killing the Wet Nurse and slaying the Nightmare doesn't necessarily kill Mergo but simply frees him to return to whatever realm the Great Ones ascended to.

There's tons of evidence to speculate but nothing concrete. Perhaps MP wants Mergo dead because it's a hybrid. Perhaps MP is drawn to Mergo because it wants a child and sends you to do its bidding. Perhaps Gehrman is the surrogate child and Moon Presence is simply trying to please him (ending one of the biggest sources of beasthood and what's happening to Yharnam, since Gehrman simply wants it all to be over and done). We cannot fathom its will entirely.

All evidence points to Mergo being formless, and as such is speculated to be the child of Oedon. I don't think we can really say what the Wet Nurse is beyond the fact it's a Great One. Perhaps like the Brain of Mensis it's something beckoned or created by the School and is helping them for its own purpose. Perhaps it's something the Pthumerians created or beckoned to protect Mergo and it went rogue. Perhaps it's a mere slave, supposedly like the lesser Amygdalas.

>>143996140
The School of Mensis used an umbilical cord, just like Gehrman. To whit,

>Every Great One loses its child, and then yearns for a surrogate. This Cord granted Mensis audience with Mergo, but resulted in the stillbirth of their brains.

So I decided to make a build with 35 vit and 90 arcane. How absolutely fucked am I?

What weapons should I use?

>>143996667
It was the church DLC for the most part. We really should have had a Cainhurst DLC on top of it.

>>143997102
>but resulted in the stillbirth of their brains
That's a mistranslation, the original text says "but resulted in the brain's stillbirth".

>>143997319
>the brain's

Whose brain?

Anyone wanna do some chalice diving?

>>143997364
Probably the giant one in the Nightmare of Mensis, the living string description also says something similar.

>>143997539
I always assumed that brain was what happened to the School of Mensis. You've got the handful who are spiders (I imagine turning into lesser Amygdalas) but aside from that there's only Micolash in there. I thought the rest of them became the brain, given the stillbirth.

>>143996276
I don't think so, the game puts this pthumerian and dungeons thing like something that took ages before hunters time-line.

Is more like Mergo came out through Yharnam belly, she died, then with his insight he entered in this cosmos/planes shit, and then time later Micolash entered in contact with Mergo in Yahar'gul.

>>143997171
Kos parasite duh

>>143997102
Yeah, but this is my point, intentional or not they don't explain nothing about MP/Mergo/Wet Nurse.

I don't know, i like this free interpretation things, but man, this is all the fucking end point of the game and it's not explained at all, not even a hint.

In bloodborne world terms is not really important, but like the player main adventure it is.

>>143998883
Would the burial blade work on a pure arcane build?

>>143999150
Never use split damage weapons on arc builds unless they're HMS, Wheel or Tonitrus.

>>143999137
Yeah but that's the very nature of Great Ones and eldritch beings. We're not supposed to understand them, only know they're there and try our best without ever succeeding, or knowing if we've succeeded. This is why we fear them, and have done since the first of their kind were conceived.

Either way you know as much as you need to know to make the final choice that needs to be made.

>>143999150
Also arCane and fire sawspear are recommended until you get the parasite.

What level should I be to go through the Nightmare of Mensis? Because I'm level 85 yet everything is really intimidating and I'm wondering if I should grind and come back.

>>144000153
What gems are you using?

>>144000153
Almost a bit over levelled.

>>143999137
Why do they even need to explain it?

You go through the game looking for Paleblood, and no matter what route you take you find it, it just turns out to not be blood at all, and what it actually is you know more about than you really ought to in a Lovecraft story to begin with.

Which weapons are genuinely not worth using?

>>144013332
Because at level 98 then you won't connect with BL120 shitters.
Hence why the max recommended level is 117 since that's the highest 98 can connect to.

>>144013406
Start doing the chalices now otherwise the early ones will suck tons of ass later when you're super overlevelled for them.

Once you get to the higher level chalice dungeons (besides getting raped repeatedly by ridiculous bosses) you'll have way more echoes than you know what to do with.

I can throw the Moon runes on and go clear a single room to grab 200k if I need to.

Because at 100 you can find people who have leveled up to 120. At 99 you don't find those people. 98 allows you to avoid people who level up to 120 and also allows you to invade those at level 80.

I love the way Orphan's attacks are designed to anticipate your attempt to dodge the previous one.

I love the way I got good and solo'd him.
Dunno how I pulled that off.
I should've died desu senpai but my inner gudness prevailed

After getting annihilated by him the first few times I knew I'd never forgive myself if I summoned for him. Sometimes you just gotta git gud.

>no new DLC, patch or anything
I finished the game months ago, kinda want to go back but the lack of anything new sets me off

What's Iosefka' Blood Vial doing next to the Wet Nurse boss room?

I thought I heard people complaining about Micolash being difficult but he was the easiest boss in the game so far.

In your opinion, /bbg/, who is the hardest boss and who is the easiest boss main game + DLC only?

You know it sucks to say this, after all the good times I had with /bbg/, but I don't think I like Bloodborne all that much anymore. At least not the main game. Nothing, to me, is as appealing as the Old Hunters.
