Gold Ardeo looks rad as fuck and if you don't agree, you can leave this thread and never come back. I will fuck your mother, girlfriend, wife, any female you care for with the Gold Ardeo as my condom. But here's the catch, it has a hole in the end, so I'll impregnate them with my child anyway, and if you try and stop my glorious reign, I'll crush you with my wheel. Skillfags need not reply, because we know you're just trying to hide how you'll never be a real man, a real executioner.

Ciaran is actually pretty sickdark, I'll give you that.

Priscilla has the scythe, but she doesn't fly un into the air with his air bending powers while making anime noises.

Dark, murakumo and latanas are japanese, the land of the anime yes.

He has a disproportionally long and wide sword that he wields with a single hand.

Read the cleansing shield description.

>she doesn't fly un into the air with his air bending powers
She becomes invisible with her reality-bending powers and her scythe is crafted to kill gods.

>I don't see chaos witches wearing trench coats
I don't see shadows of Yharnam wearing trench coats.

>>144663128
Artorias is anime as fuck, dude. He's designed after an anime character down to his fucked up arm.

>>144663128
The Cainhurst helmet isn't non-functional. Blinding yourself in order to truly see is a common thing. Willem does it, Gascoigne does it, the Choir does it, the Executioners do it, and Cainhurst Knights do it too.

Artorias has a tragic past but is actually liked by everyone and he's Gwyn's favourite but he is also liked by everyone and has sickdark abyss darkness powers.

Priscilla's anime for pure waifu reasons. She's the super special and kawaii powerful half dragon girl.

Chaos witches wear the exact same shit as the Shadows of Yharnam you sperge.

Point being yes there are anime-esque things in Bloodborne, but no more so than any other Souls game.

Arc scales weil with Tonitrus' bolt mode. It doesn't do much for Amy Arm though. As for the build, looks good but I'd put some points from skill into arc since the scaling in both is average but you get more damage from hunter tools and whatever else.

>>144668675

Is it something I have to anticipate and fire 4 fucking years in advance for because of shitty netcode?

>>144668807
But I lose almost two points of damage from both weapons for every point I remove from Skill. I really wish there was a way of knowing how much damage I gain with the Tonitrus with every point of Arcane.

Doesn't look like this takes into account the transformed mode of the Tonitrus unfortunately. That and the Logarius Wheel transformed mode is still a mystery.

>I really wish there was a way of knowing how much damage I gain with the Tonitrus with every point of Arcane.

When you buff it, it effectively has 136 base Bolt damage and a 0.9 Arcane scaling with a flat +20 bolt. That means that it has:

10 Arcane: 136 + 6 + 20
25 Arcane: 136 + 61 + 20
50 Arcane: 136 + 104 + 20
99 Arcane: 136 + 122 + 20

Linear returns inbetween breakpoints. I.E. increasing Arc from 25 to 26 gets you the same amount of damage as going from 49 to 50. Base damage and scaling damage are both increased by +%ATK or +%Bolt gems. The + 20 at the end is not.

>>144671654
Dang thats nuts. Sounds like you need a dedicated build just to make full use of the Tontrus. 50str/50arc would be using it to its fullest potential, but tht woukd require some hefty sacrifices. Would be a pretty crazy Wheel build too though.

Anyone have sliders for Gascoigne? I wanna cosplay him for my next build but trying to recreate him on my own is proving to be trouble.

Okay. I'm pretty sure I made the ultimate Tonitrus build if you still want to have 50 Vit and 15 End. Total Damage in transformed mode is 481. 150+71 Physical, 136+104+20 Lightning.

12-25: 3.15 d/l
25-50: 1.44 d/l

Sure. I won't do physical damage, because you can just look at the physical numbers in Mugenmonkey and multiply them by 0.7, but here's the arcane damage numbers.

>>144671654

Correction on this, Tonitrus gets +40 flat bolt, not +20. I was confusing it with Logarius' Wheel. So Tonitrus is:

10 Arcane: 136 + 6 + 40
25 Arcane: 136 + 61 + 40
50 Arcane: 136 + 104 + 40
99 Arcane: 136 + 122 + 40

while Logarius' Wheel is:

10 Arcane: 150 + 8 + 20
25 Arcane: 150 + 79 + 20
50 Arcane: 150 + 135 + 20
99 Arcane: 150 + 159 + 20

Logwheel is like Tonitrus where the base and scaling damages are affected by gems, but the flat amount is not. Also the revs from the L2 give +10%/20%/40%/60% arcane damage. Similarly, this doesn't apply to the flat amount. So e.g. at 4 revs, you'd have:

10 Arcane: (150 + 8)*1.6 + 20
25 Arcane: (150 + 79)*1.6 + 20
50 Arcane: (150 + 135)*1.6 + 20
99 Arcane: (150 + 159)*1.6 + 20

No problem ;) got a nice Blood Rock from him too

Rate my idea guys:
Make a boss with a very high damaging fast combo that can be dodged out of, BUT all of the hits stop your stamina regen so that if you're a r1 spamming faggot that just mashes buttons until you're out of juice you're going to get your shit pushed in every time

>>144682610
Ah I only got a chunk, I'll try ringing my bell near him to see if I can get one too.

>>144682827
It's a small chance of dropping so it might not come to you immediately. I recommend using pungent blood cocktails, almost makes the fight a joke.

>>144682827

Sinister Lower Loran nac5fh4q layer 1

I know this because it's where the Lost Stake Driver is, and I was going to make a Bolt Stake Driver because the combination of bolt and thrust from tricked R1s would make it the ultimate kin killer to go along with the Firegig for beasts, but then I realised thrust is an actual damage type unlike serrated bonus so making a weapon bolt negates it, then realised the tricked punches aren't thrust anyway. Liking the Stake Driver is suffering. It's no wonder Djura throws himself off buildings as much as he does.

If I delete a chalice does that mean I can't co-op in it via the short root chalice until I recreate it?

>>144686335
I know that feel.
I literally can't play anything else.

>>144686561
No you can still co-op in it, you're gud

>>144686478
Damn that's a harsh realization after going through all that work.

>>144686335
Close this tab. Seriously, just cut off anything from the game. For the next game you're playing, make sure you don't alt-tab constantly. Just give it at least a good 1 hour of playtime to get immersed/invested/whatever. Don't look up anything, instead try to figure everything out yourself in those first few hours. That's what works for me at least.

Also, Valkyria Chronicles is really good.

>>144686550
Well for BB it's one thing since every trophy is just "kill this boss".

I mean the whole "gotta get muh plat so I can stop playing this game and get more plats" mentality that way too many people have.

Speaking of the plat theme, how does that work? I heard there's some fuckery about contact settings on your PSN account or something. I got the plat for bb a while ago but no sign of any theme. Does it come in an email or a PSN message or something?

>>144686478
Yeah all that is true but I still think its a good weapon for PVE. In PVP its a real uphill battle, but possible to win.

I think I have an AR of 564 or 614 on my 50 arc build. Only have one arc skill up gem on there.

Holy fuck what level should I be tackling Darkbeast Paarl at? Level 33 and he's pushing my shit in continuously.

>>144687019
There are also the 3 ending trophies.

If you have a PSN account with everything set to default(you can check under your account settings on your PS4) as in you receive the newsletter and shit occasionally after platting they send you a series of congrats emails.

They sent me 2, which was kinda odd as they were redundant, before sending me a third with a code to redeem on the PSN store for the theme.

I had already bought the BB theme from the store, but this one is totally different.

It applies to both NA and EU despite people saying otherwise.

Now go kill the putty queen you faggot.

>>144687189
Your lock-on camera will never be a high enough level

>>144686478
You can 3-shot FRC Amy with 50+ arc, 2 cold abyssals with a good fire gem, and oil urns (6 hits if you count the oil urns). I have a video but the size is too big to be posted here, might be because it's in Isz.

>>144687462
Yeah, playing unlocked for this asshole. Still can't figure out how to take him. Staying in front of him is death, getting underneath or behind him leads to him jumping away or just exploding on me.

>>144687189
33 is fine, most folks go in around 25-45. Paarl is a really good intro to learning proper dodging. Focus on just dealing damage to his limbs by dodging under him when he swipes. You should have a solid 2-3 hits before needing to gtfo. Eventually he is gonna collapse and that is when you break out the charged R2s.

Note how he loses his electric charge, you're gonna abuse the fuck out of that because he is super vulnerable when he tried to get away and recharge. If you're good you can stunlock him into the same shit until he dies.

>>144683758
Yes. The work on BSB, btw.

>>144687598
Learn to switch camera modes on the fly, quickstep in infinitely better for getting under him.

And for the love of fuck do not waste your time chugging vials and backstepping constantly.

>>144687189
He is completely optional and can be skipped until much later in the game if you want.

Also you can beat Henryk, buy his armor, and use it to make the fight easier.

>>144687598
If you hit hard enough at his hind legs he'll collapse.

>>144687189

Level up your weapon more so than yourself. Stay below him but don't get greedy. Attack his legs once - twice and then be ready to dodge his AoE if he uses it. If he moves away immediately run beneath him again. Also if possible try to run away from the AoE instead of rolling, and also try to run behind him to dodge the AoE so you can return to his back legs quickly.

Is the hunter you can summon near the gate worthless at distracting it? It's weak to fire so you can chuck some oil urns + molotovs when it's charging and exploding so long as you don't get caught in the blast.

>>144690576
Nah, cane is fine.
It doesn't do a lot of damage but the normal mode is great for stunlocking small enemies, and the transformed mode is great for crowds.

>>144690809
The thing is so many other weapons do the same, only better.

>>144690613
Sages are so annoying because you literally cannot take your eyes off of it or else your chances of getting fucked increase astronomically, so if it's paired with any other enemy it becomes one hell of a fight.

>>144690913
Good if you can manage solo, because chances are the only thing that guy would work for is a slight distraction at the cost of the boss getting more HP which is bad in the long run since summonable npcs are useless.

>>144690576
Fake luci pls go.

Transformed cane on paarl is awesome, its serrated and can hit multiple limbs. Cane in general is hugely underrated, its amazing at zoning, fast as fuck, and extremely versatile with TWO different damage types. Against Paarl though stay transformed.

>>144691120
Figured. Only attack that's even hitting me is his damn backhands that he uses when turning to face you, but those hit for ~30% of my health. Still, just found you can visceral him after he loses his spark, so all I need to do is combo him into spark-less-ness again, and add viscerals.

Is there a way of resetting a chalice without using materials?

>>144691581
Use a code.

>>144691580
I didn't say that it was used on a Str build. I said a Str build would be better for PvE than a Skl build.

>>144691762
Goalposts. Moving. Etc.

>>144691581
Just use the code for FRCs. For the Story chalices, just use the search.

>>144691815
Basically, you're an idiot and just want to argue, poorly, about nothing. Got it.

>>144691762
If you have a skill build you don't have the option to use cutter or axe, so the cane isn't really outclassed.

>>144691581
Go to Chalice Dungeon Search (2nd option) and put what type of dungeon you're trying to recreate.

Where can I get arcane radial blood gems? All I get from the Isz chalices are triangle blood gems.

>>144691989
You have to option of starting over, converting it to a Quality build, or rushing the superior Skl weapons in the DLC.

>Argue poorly
>Changes the discussion from "hey guys is my weapon okay?" to an argument about the absolute best build and weapon for a particular boss fight, a build obviously not even tied to the asker's original question

FRC Bone Ash Hunters in Isz drop them along with fire and bolt radials. If you're trying to gem a physical weapon, farm Cold Abyssals from Pthumerian Elder in Iyll.

Darkbeast Paarl is one of my favorite designs in the Soulsborne series. His fight was really cool too, playing at 2 in the morning with all the flashing lights was fucking cool. I just beat him last night, please tell me there are other bosses like this, because besides Vicar Amelia, Father G, and him, the bosses have been kind of underwhelming. Bloodstarved beast and Cleric Beast were good though, just not incredible.

Awesome advice Luci. I don't know how you do it, you manage to switch back and forth from helpful and informative to full fucking autistic retard so quickly every time.

>>144692594
It's hard to respond to that without knowing what bosses you've already beat. You'll love the first boss in Hunter's Nightmare either way.

>>144692594
I do adore the design, but I'm getting tired of murdering various beasts. Especially since they keep buttfucking me hard. Though, Paarl is an outlier... 5 tries on Cleric, 4 for Gascan, 3 for BSB, and then 1 for the Witch of Hemwick.

Just died a 31st time to Paarl.

If it's his first playthrough, which I sort of suspect, then a starting over and going Str will save him a lot of time in the long run and give him a more pleasant experience overall. Your name calling won't change that.

If it's not then he should put Paarl on the back burner, kill Amelia, and go grab the saif asap.

Ehhhh, it varies. I usually wait till I can at least knock him down to start using them, as I don't wanna burn through all of them. I frequently die once he's below 50% regardless of vial usage besides.

>>144693957
Don't linger too long, it's extremely important to be aggressive. But not so much so that you're just spamming R1 till you die.

Stay in close unless he's charging for an AoE. Aim for the legs. Visceral his fucking face when he goes down.

Once you get used to his tactics and you're feeling confident, rub a fire paper on your weapon of choice and really let him have it. I believe in you.

>>144693686
Not getting anything. You sure you're set to worldwide?

>>144694261
Exactly what I've been doing, anon. Keep knocking him down, but as soon as I get to 50%, it's over.

Also can't land the fucking charged R2's when he's recharging.

>>144693058
and the popsicle sword is pretty dank also.

>>144694589
If it's too hard to get him, then don't: it's too much of a sacrifice if you get hit with that AoE. Back up, but not super far, and give him a sprinting hit as SOON as he lets that sucker off

>>144694819
yea it is

So, are darkbeasts like Abhorrent and Paaul ancient organic mechs created by pthumerians to combat great ones and beast possess soul is a beast with fire to combat beasts or am i wrong.

irrelevant izzy later would reverse engineer darkbeasts paaul and make tontrus to combat great ones in modern day yharnam and the beast possess soul at the bottom of the workshop was a succesful mech made by the first hunters to combat the beast plague but they didn't get to use him and the door is closed. it's possible that he is also Ghermans real body. the beggar could be an escaped test subject that can transform at will and maybe he killed izzy. any thoughts? It makes sense if u think about it.

>>144694589
what armor are you using? Have you gotten Henryk's set yet?

>>144694930
Eh, AOE is mostly harmless, it's just his ridiculous lightning attacks later on in the fight. Is there anywhere else to go besides this asshole and the Vicar?

How can insight be real when the eyes inside of our heads aren't real?

>>144696330
That's clearly Annalise, you beastly idiot. Why else would she mention robins?

Seriously, man, how do you miss this stuff?

>>144696510
Don't think too hard about all of this. Just go out and kill a few beasts.

>>144696452
There is nothing to refute. You just said some stupid shit and never try to support/backup any of it.

Alright I've done two str builds and a skill build. What do I do/use next?

>>144696510
*smokes joint* Aah Kos...

Tell me about Mergo /bbg/

>>144696869
he's a big baby

>>144696989
UUUU

>>144696869
He sucks on crow tits.

>>144697853
Is the Crow even a great one or just the baby m8?

>>144692485

>>144696832
BT and Arc are both ridiculously fun once they get going. You really can't go wrong from here.

>>144698028
She's human, you actually talked to her at the beginning of the game.

>>144698241
I didn't talk to anyone I just killed every thing I saw because I was scared

>>144699936
Well that's your problem.

Okay, on the Vicar now. Any real strategy for her, or is it just git gud.

>>144700998
>or is it just git gud.

Anything anybody will write will pretty much amount to that.

get close, dodge around attacks, keep attacking, etc.
or delete your character and burn your ps4 because you used a STR build

>>144696339
Depends entirely on what the individual player has it set as in Network Settings.

>>144700998
Stay close and preferably behind he but slightly to the side. Learn to dodge her shit.

Serrated weapons + Fire Paper + BBP also help.

>>144701535
BBP?

>>144701715
Beast Blood Pellets

>>144700998

If you can't see her ass you're in the wrong place.

>>144700998
Hug her fluffy ass, if you get the chance try to aim for her arms/hands but don't make it a focus.

If you take too long and she starts to heal, spam charged R2s and knock her out of it or you're gonna get mad.

>>144702012
Awrighty. Must still be riding a high from Paarl; got her to phase 2 and she never even touched me.

Hmm... The NPC at the beginning of the Fishing Hamlet can't die.

Why??

>>144703426
Thinkgen of byrgenwerth

>>144703426
Equip milkweed and talk to him

>Cooperator dies within 15 seconds of starting the fight
Th-thanks...

No just randos, Logarius is really easy on NG so I thought I'd have some fun with it for once.

It was not fun.

You should probably restart with a STR build.

Where do I see how many upbotes my post has?

>>144705748
The theme is also a reward for the platinum trophy.

awyessss, beat Vicar

Does anyone else here feel like their heart is about to beat out of their chest when they get close to beating a boss? Because I feel like that right now.

This game is something else.

>>144705875
Yes, especially when I killed Gascoigne for the first time.

>>144705869
I heard it's a different one for that.

Orphan of Kos does that to me, what a great fucking fight that is.
