Yeah, reiters got one of the quickest gunshot animations in the game. r1 +l1 singlehandedly got me past Logarius once.

Am I supposed to not be able to ride the Mergo's Loft Middle lift down into the Lantern area while invading?
I was running over the button repeatedly, but no dice. And I knew he was down there too since one of the Lanterns had his echoes.

Nice Memeblade
Nice roll at the end

>>144505418
Thanks.

Does anyone need help or anyone just leveling/playing the game, I need vermin for valtr and am way too overleveled to find a co-opter without a password.

>>144505978
Why the hell would you level that high?

>>144506251
Not really sure just wanted too. I don't care about invading so I didn't see a reason to cap myself at 98/120 etc

>>144506329
As you should be able to tell now, the cap is meant for co-op too. 98 is perfect for co-op match making, btw.

Can you not even get SRRC summons?

>>144506432

What was your chest piece?, it looks like something I have brace seen before.

>>144509467
Djura's set. It's the set with the most beasthood I have. I was just trying everything. The gattling gun's barely +3, just a last ditch effort to try to stagger his head sometimes. Didn't really work very well.

Whats the best version of Kos Parasite and Threaded Cane for a pure arcane build?

I just created a cursed level 5 dungeon with all 3 options. What am I in for?

Recently bought BB after playing DS3.

Going in blind, but just wanted some advice. At what sort of time will I expect to find a solid STR based weapon? Assuming first time progression? Don't want to end up without a good weapon for a long time because I missed a treasure early on.

>>144512587
Depends a little on which one you made. Anything from a light stroll in the park to complete and total hell.

>>144512809
The starting Axe is a Str weapon and literally one of the best weapons in the game.

>>144512809
>Going in blind
>TELL ME WHERE I FIND GOOD WEAPONS
Just a guide. You aren't doing anything else at this point.

>>144512831
I'm already getting raped by the the ring bitch. I created the first one after the blood queen.

>>144512858
Cheers man.
>>144512872
Only wanted to know that after being burned in DS3 being stuck with the broadsword for god knows how long and really just wanting a big club to hit the things I didn't understand.

star star triangle is the way to go for physical builds, right?

>>144513541
Yeah

>>144513058
always happy to help

>>144513058
One of the first bosses lets you buy a big hammer

There's a weapon in the DLC that will tickle your fancy if you want a big unga bunga club

That's all I'll tell you if you want blind, you should probably close the thread tho

What the fuck. Are cursed chalice 5 dungeons the toughest that the souls series has to offer?
How can people say BB is the easiest when those exist?

>>144514912
Because those people didn't play to cursed chalice 5 dungeons

>>144514912
>How can people say BB is the easiest when those exist?
Because people are retards and lot of that noise comes from mustards whose only knowledge of BB consists of watching 15 minutes of random let's play.

>physical attack +44,6
>higher end +3,2%
Worth it?

>>144514912

>>144514995

What's my best bet for decent leveled gems if I don't want to jump into low depth chalice dungeons?

>>144521120
Brains in mensis if you don't have the dlc, they drop 19%'s
If you have the dlc then farm the brains in hamlet, they drop 22%'s

Did we ever find out why Iosefka's Blood Vial was in a chest in Mensis?

I feel no pity for them, the hitbox is erroneously large once you trick it and it has pretty strong hyper armor

So, how much Arc you should go for with the Wheel without grinding for specific gems ?

>>144525315
10 if you want to use it in one hand, 50 if you want to use it with two hands.

god the research hall gave me nightmares the first time I went through it. It was a piece of cake the second time around with a btg character

Are scaling gems just completely fucking useless or what?

>>144526482
Pretty much.

Apparently maxed out STR scaling gems are worthwhile, but you have to spend a lifetime or two farming for them. Doesn't seem worth the trouble to me.

>>144526482
Cold abyssals (arc) and Heavy abyssals (str) are very good with the right stats but anything else is garbage.

>>144526482
They are unless they're str or arc abyssals, which drop from layer 3-4 depth 5 frc bosses. Those are amazing boosts to your ar.

>>144525469
Why ? The scalling is horrible.

Gotta admit I'm a little bored of DS3. I want to take a break and get all the trophies for BB.

How hard are the chalice trophies alone?

>>144528604
>How hard are the chalice trophies alone?
Not much except for a few bosses.

>>144528670
I heard the "hardest" one is Dala and due to cut HP it's a OHKO fest.

>>144528728
Amygdala can OHKO you with most of his moves, but you can always cheese him easily.
The ones that gave me trouble are watchdog, pthumerian descendant and bloodletting beast, but I memorized them because I constantly get summoned for them.
If you get stuck post a pass.

>>144529065
I'm assuming I should start a new game and instead of NG+ the dungeons?

>>144529438
NG cycles don't affect chalice dungeons at all.

Do many people play Bloodborne still? I'm a souls veteran and wondering whether I should go for a PS4 for DS3 & BB, or an Xbone seeing as it's what my friends play.

>>144532189
Even if they shut down the online entirely, you'd be a fool to get an Xboner and miss out on Bloodborne.

But yes, it's plenty active still. And if you play BB you won't even want to play DS3 anymore.

Is there any advantage in upgrading firearms?
To backstab an enemy, do I need to stagger him first? When I catch them with their backs turned I just do a normal attack.

Sorry this is my first souls game.

Is the mugenmonkey AR calculator accurate?

At a glance it doesn't seem to be.
Is there an accurate calculator with Old Hunter weapons?

>>144540192
I used to be one until I curled up and became an egg.

>>144540424
If you do a charged up attack from behing (hold R2) then you'll stagger them.

Depending on your stats you can do some pretty heavy damage with guns if you upgrade them.

>>144540537
It's sort of accurate, some things like the BLT weapons aren't as they add both physical and blood damage together. The AR below the weapons are more accurate as they separate the damage.

bloodtinge is what really irked me

theoretically bloodletter has the highest AR because they just added them together
i'm happy with the rock I spent on it, but it's not delivering that sort of performance

So I just picked up the Old Hunters version of the game. I haven't touched it since about a month after it came out when I beat it and I don't remember much, there was a lot of good shit but I also remember !FRENZY! clusters of eyes and doing dungeons over and over and over and over.

Anyway, I appear to be level 87 on at least NG+ (am I fukd?). I've just bumrushed Vicar Amelia and am about to jump into the DLC. Anything spoiler-free I should know before I just in?
Also, what the fuck do I spend my souls on? I get pathetic returns on every stat up, my weapons are both +10 and I have health and ammo falling out of my ass.

Yeah, felt the same way about it at first. I grew to love it especially when dungeon co-oping as it knocks down spiders and dogs real easily as all BLT weapons do. At 50 BLT it hits like a truck.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Is there anything good for bolt aside from the tonitrus (and it's awful durability)? Should I just suck it up and infuse a ludwigs, or is there something I can get early in the dlc to infuse? Is arcane scaling a big deal?

How do I get the second shark to drop from the roof?

>>144548165

>>144549171
You can infuse any pure physical weapon and it'll be good, especially once you get Cold Abyssal gems that improve Arcane scaling. A lot of Arcane builds use Bolt Saifs as you only need 11 Skl to hold and the moves is much better than the Tonitrus.

I'm at Brygenwerth and this hunter faggot in the building one shotted me with magic even though just one magic ball hit me and my vit is fucking 30. I managed to kill her by parry spam but that magic was some real bullshit man. I haven't died since blood starved beast and this recent death has triggered me so much for some reason that I will take a few days break from the game.

Also I just tried chalice dungeon and it's literally worse than Binding of Isaac.

jesus christ, it's like from a fucking horror movie

Just started this game. Not my first Souls game, as I've got a few hundred hours in DaS, but BB has been much much harder so far. Every boss fight has been a grueling 10-minute duel where I slowly wittle them down to nothing and use 15 blood vials in the process.

Am I doing this wrong? Is that how Skill plays out? It's working, but it feels like it's way harder than it oughta be.

>>144550126
augur of ebrietas always helps me with them because they stop right in front of you when they dash like that, sometimes I can get easy counters this way.

>That room with two werewolves and two bell ringing maidens summoning spiders in lower loran
Why? Why would you put stuff like that there and not give any rewards after killing them? The room barely had any worthwhile loot that replenished my lost supplies.

>>144550689
What your stats, gems, and upgrade level on your weapon(s)?

Christ where can I find a lantern in The Hunters Nightmare? This is pretty rough.

>>144551023
Well you can get a shortcut back to the first lantern after you reach a small bridge above the area filled with bloodsuckers. Then there's another lantern further down in a church to the right of the giant guy with a church cannon.

>RFC Ihyll
>Layer 3: BLB (with head)

Fucker came back for revenge.

Also dropped a Cursed Heavy Abyssal gem. I ain't even got no strength.

>>144550508
The sages are definitely the spookiest enemy in the game by far.

>>144550913
Started as Professional, only leveled Skill and Vitality so far. I'm at a low level, so they're probably at 20 and 17 respectively. Weapon is a Threaded Cane +3, and I have no noteworthy gems, just 2 that add 1.4% damage.

>>144550689
The game tends to be harder for Souls Vets at first. I was the same way. Now I take them down in about 2 to 3 minutes or less each.

The problem is that in DaS, you tend to wait for attacks, then there is a huge opening so you have time to easily land a few hits. It doesn't really work that way in BB.

The trick to BB bosses is to dodge Forward, and slightly to the side, NOT BACK. Your goal should be to get out of in front of them, not away from them. Several of the bosses are set up specifically to punish you for trying to dodge away from them.

Watch the OP WebM for an example of what I am talking about.

>>144551505
I think street sharks are more bowel emptying.

>>144550689
Sounds like you're using the Threaded Cane without knowing where all the Bloodstone Shards are.

The Threaded Cane starts out bad but ends up with awesome scaling. Generally weapons with high scaling have lower base damage, which makes them not as good at the start of the game. You could try using the Saw Spear, or make use of fire and bolt paper.

>>144551569
Yeah, learned that damn quick with Cleric Beast. Disengaging only gets me punished. They've gotten easier, at least. Five tries for Cleric Beast, four for Gascan, and two for Blood-Starved Beast.

>>144551695
Do I need to progress further before Twin Bloodstone Shards show up? I'm currently gearing up for Vicar Amelia, she wrecked me hard first time.

Yeah, earliest you can get twin bloodstone shards is by finishing old yharnam and having those guys with sacks spawn in cathedral ward.

>>144552149
Oooh, isn't that opportune. Do I need to kill them? I hear the bastards are tough to kill.

>>144551834
You "CAN" fight the Vicar deceptively early. Your supposed to fight the Cleric Beast, Gascan, BSB, the Witches, and Paarl first.

If you beat BSB, let one of the new enemy's with the Bags kill you if you haven't yet.

>>144551695
Skill is also a bad PvE choice for new players. Going Str or quality would have been much easier.

>>144552101
Watching it isn't going to do anything for me, and it illustrates my point of dodging forward and to the side (i.e. being more aggressive) so why not refer to it? It isn't the Ludwig WebM.

>>144552269
Yeah they are, they're fairly easier with a kirkhammer since you can bait them and crush their skulls with charged attacks then ragdoll them across the room with the follow up and crush them again as they enter berserk mode, the hassle is killing them in a few hits because their danger factor goes up by 70% when they enter berserk mode at 75% hp.

>>144551834
Do you know of the two areas you can access right before Vicar Amelia? Going to either side of the Grand Cathedral once you reach the church guys using big sticks will lead you to a new area. Neither of them are particularly easy, but you can find Twin Blood Shards there.

Going to the right will have you meet two hunters you probably can't beat, followed by a Sackman who will probably kill you, I suggest you run past him unless you want to get sacknapped. Followed by two Executioners which are the big guys with axes who will probably kill you if you arent good at parrying. If you manage to kill both of those Executioners you'll find two Scuttlers/Crystal Lizards who both drop two twin shards each. You can pull the second Executioner with pebbles so you don't set off the Scuttlers.

Go to the left instead though. That way leads to Hemwick. There are at least three Twin Shards in Hemwick, though it's a much longer area. Check every nook and cranny, because they're hidden pretty well. That wooded area full of black dogs and snipers is a bitch, but those dogs also have a chance of dropping twin shards as well.

>>144552149
This is not true.

>>144551965
Defiled is fun though. It's designed to be pretty easy, but to punish bad play, specifically face tanking. Root FRCs, on the other hand, can be true hell.

>>144552610
>This is not true.
? They do drop twin blood stone shards, hell I farmed them.

>>144552719
I know they do, but that's not the earliest you can get them. All you need to do is buy the Chief Hunters Emblem to have access to them.

You're supposed to parry the Executioners? I just dodged around them and sliced them to bits.

In any event, will try to kill the Scuttlers. Would've done that if I knew they were Crystal Lizard 2.0...

And left? Down the stairs? Is this the same direction I go to reach Old Yharnam?

>>144553082
Left right before the Grand Cathedral, once you reach the church dudes using giant sticks. Going right will lead you to the hunters and Executioners.

>>144552561
They are super easy to parry. If he is playing a skill build his parries will do more damage anyway.

>Parry their punch
>Stand close as they stand up to bait their quick attack (this is helps get their back away from walls)
>as they start KAIOKEN, step behind them and backstab them for the kill

>>144553248
The path he is talking about is like 5 feet from the doors that lead to Vicar Amelia. It's deceptive as hell and doesn't look like it would lead to a new area, so a lot of people just run past it.

>>144553445
Should I be leveling Bloodtinge? That is what increases Viscerals, to my knowledge, but guns are just so bad for damage.

It's just a saber with a dagger slotted into the handle.

By far the most practical trick weapon design.

>>144553570
I highly suggest you bypass the hunters. They are fairly easy to run by and a going to be extremely tough for you. Make sure to run past/kill the Sackman so you can drop down on the two snipers lounging on the cliffs overlooking the two Executioners. If you don't kill them, the Executioners will be a much tougher fight.

The Executioners are extremely weak to Viscerals, and should die in one shot since you're a Skill build.

>>144553570
I suggest level BLT to 8 and no more, since that is the base requirements for the repeating pistol.

Leveling up increases visceral damage, but leveling skill increases it more. BLT just increases gun damage and the damage of a few specific melee weapons.

>>144553823
On my way.

>>144553823
I'll join as well

>>144553958
That's much less practical than the axe. It's literally just an axe with an extendable handle.

Do you know how clunky and weird it would be to actually try to fight with the Rakuyo? Sure it's a realistic weapon, but it is not a practical one.

\>>144554161
>>144554308

>>144554418
Aye.

Anyone want to summon for Rom? I'm trying to stamp out some Vermin.

>>144554335
Well in the "tricked" mode the Rakuyo wouldn't have any weird quirks since it's literally just a knife and a sword.

Good point about the axe though.

>>144554335
Fighting with the Rakuyo wouldn't be particularly awkward though, assuming the dagger remains reasonably short (i.e. not the length of a sword).

>>144553958
Rifle spear is the most reasonable.

Is Bloodborne the best game of the 21st century?

So I've been playing bloodborne for the last couple days and I have to say the difficulty seems all over the place

Cleric Beast was just an exercise in how many times I could press R1, but Father G raped my mouth a couple of times because I kept gitting greedy

The Blood-Starved Beast gave me a rough time for a bit, but I beat Vicar Amelia on the first go, the fact that she held still long enough for a fully charged stake driver R2 multiple times was probably a big part of it

So my question is should I get the Reiterpallasch

Holy fuck I was not prepared for Ludwig. Is 76 high enough to kill him? Am I doing something wrong? Is fire not good against him?

Logarius is keking my shit up lads help

Fuck Rom. Specifically fuck Rom's spider faggots.

>>144556490
That depends on if you're doing a Dex/Bloodtinge build or not. Even then I feel like having a gun in your right hand is sorta pointless when you also have a gun in your left. And unless you're throwing a load of Strength in there too, you're pretty much guaranteed to have a normal gun in your left hand.

I mean, it's fast as fuck and does solid damage, but I still feel it's kind of pointless. I've seen Str/Dex/Blt builds before that make use of Cannons with it, but that requires a lot of sacrifices from Vit.

>>144556959
76 is high enough, your equipment might be the problem. What do you have on you?

>>144557452
32 Vit, 58 Arc, +9 Saw Spear with three fire gems at around +10%.

Well managed to kill the two sharks, so the only things left for me to do/get in the dlc is killing Laurence and Kos

Currently grinding for heavy abyssals. Anyone want to join? I'll post a pass if anyone does.

>>144557684
You could probably level Vit a little higher. I also found using 10% fire gems to not hit really hard even with high Arc as well but Ludwig is a tough pill to swallow with it. After him it gets easier, study his moves real close and don't get too greedy with hits. There's always Valtr to summon

>>144558075
sure why not?

>>144557352

I want it because rapiers make my dingle hard, almost as hard as pilebunkers

I was actually wondering also how much I should be dumping into END, considering the game so far hasn't shown me any reason I should have a lot of it (hitting R1 more than twice against anything is a recipe for assbeatings)

Level doesn't matter. I beat him at level 43. People have beaten him lower than that. WHat matters more is your weapon upgrades and gems. A +9 with Mensis gems is perfect.

>>144558187
15 END with a stamina rune is plenty even for PvP.

It's certainly possible to make use of the Reiter without investing in Blt, if you want. I think a Dex primary quality build would be pretty kickass for it actually. Let you still parry people while making use of the Gatling and Cannon.

Thanks Lucy. What do you think of this stupid Build I just came up with? It'll probably be my next character.

>>144558771
Since you're running an Arc build Men's is gems are useless since theyreally only for physical damage. There's an 18% Arcane gem in there you can pick up but it's not worth using it against Ludwig. Other option would be going deeper into chalice dungeons and getting fire gems from the Loran chalices.

Once you get him to phase three, you can stand right under him, wait for him to jump, then walk to where the end of his tail was. He'll land right over you but not hit you, and you can smack him on the chin once or twice before repeating the process. It's actually really easy.

>>144572917

Why the fuck do companies struggle so badly with making a good character creator? I swear they spend less time making them than most people spend using them.
1. Just put the character creator screen in on of the main areas with good lighting instead of some weird, purpose built room that guarantees the end design will look completely different in game
2. A fucking hex key option so if you're having too much issues with using the supposed RGB sliders that don't actually follow normal RGB values we can just cross reference a pic on the internet and easily just enter a hex key to get the desired hair/eye/skin colour
There, you've fixed like 90% of all shitty character creators

>>144576703
That's okay, once you get pass him, Living Failures and Maria you'll have access to 20.3% bolt gems that'll really help against Orphan
