I can't fuckin' do it, guys. I cannot beat the Orphan.

What's the difference between FRC chalice and just a C chalice in regards to the gem I get from the layer 3 boss? Or anything else for that matter. What does F and R do?

>>146170467

>>146170467
This guy did it at max NG+ at level 4:
https://youtu.be/0TJrw5gwx-o

Just watch that to learn how to deal with the orphan.

What's a good strategy for the Loran Darkbeast? He carts me every single time. I feel like I can't do anything.

>>146171616
Loran Darkbeast is handled in a very methodical fashion. If you have a fire and/or serrated weapon, that's what you want to use. Focus your attacks on one of his hind legs. Once it breaks, move on to the other one while he still has his lightning down. You want to hit the back legs first since they take more hits to break than his fronts do. Once you've broken all four of his legs, he should only have about a quarter of his health left, less even, depending on your damage output. When he's on the ground from the fourth and final legbreak, go for the head. It'll stagger him, open him up for a visceral, and either take out the rest of his health if you have high skill, or simply do good damage and put him in enough hitstun to finish him off.

It's frustrating at first, but when you finally get the patterns down it's honestly kind of cathartic.

Oh, and fight him with your camera unlocked. His lockon points are wack, and with his constant scrambling about the arena, it'll only make things harder for you.

>>146172275
Thanks. He's my target after I savescum the fuck out of Pthumerian Elder, and I've always had trouble with him. Even with Paarl I always come back after I'm overleveled as fuck because I can't fight that archetype well.

I always thought nourishing was the best gem type for the wheel, but I just saw a video with someone that had exclusively 9.8% tempering gems that have a secondary +72 arcane damage. Are these the best for the wheel on an ARC build?

Jesus Rom in the depth 3 dungeon is demolishing me. What are the old tips for him? Been ages since I played and wanted to finally beat chalice dungeons

>>146173515
Just blow him to bits with a cannon, if you can wield it

>>146173909
I'll try that next time, ended up just using mah pizza cutter. Should probably upgrade the canon at some point as well

Is there a generally accepted level cap for maximum multiplayer activity? 120 is my usual guess, but that seems a bit high for this game.

>>146170878
I appreciate the offer, but I've soloed every other boss in Soulsborne and I would feel like a massive failure now to fail at the last hurdle. I guess I'll need to finally git gud.

>>146174019
I go 110. It allows me to play with 98 memers and 120 memers. 110 master race. 117 is the max level that you can play with people that go 98 though.

>>146173515
>clear all the baby spiders first
>get prepped first (let stamina full refill, pop BBP and paper, etc)
>attack the fuck out of her, even as she is fading out
^the idea here is to make her skip her second spot (which is the middle of the room, which leaves you at a big disadvantage) and got straight to he last spot on the far end of the room
>use the pillars as cover and wipe out all the baby spiders near you, then move up the right side of the room, using pillars for cover
>wipe out any nearby spiders (bait them to the pillars)
>when you get to the last pillar and take out any baby spiders, wait for an opening in Rom's spam, then do a sprinting attack to her face
^CD Rom's face doesn't have the same massive damage reduction as story Rom's.

>>146174019
For BB, the perfect level is 98. It lets you invade people going through the nightmare of Mensis and lets you co-op naturally be summoned by as low as lebel 60s, among other benefits.

>>146174385
Speaking of which do I have to go to 117 if I want to be viable with arcane? I fucked up my build so I could barely use the moonlight greatsword but even without fucking my build 50 STR 70 arcane doesn't seem possible with 98.

>When you're invading and the phantom has a max health pool of ~600

I don't get it. Why do people run such low vit? Especially with the health penalty phantoms get. He died in two hits from a fucking Stake Driver. I'd have killed him in one on my arc build!

I'm on my first playthrough ever right now and using Ludwig's sword. Just got the Whirlygig Saw. I've read about how awesome it is, so I went straight to upgrading it to +9. My Ludwig's sword is +9 as well. My Ludwig's still outdamages the whirlygig with 32 strength and 25 skill. Is the pizza cutter a meme weapon or is it actually good? Will it outdamage Ludwig's at some point if I keep on leveling my strength?

>>146174786
I meant 50 vit not strength.

>>146175209
Because they aren't built for PvP

>>146175224
LHB is a Quality weapon (scales from Str and Skl). The Pizza Cutter is a Str weapon.

For the Whirly, you want a build that looks closer to this. With High Str the Whirly becomes the best PvE weapon in the game.

>>146174786
I use 110 for all of my builds, so I don't know if I'm the right person to ask, but I love my ARC build. It's literally my favorite build I've made. Why the fuck are you going 50STR 70ARC though? 25STR 50ARC for builds that use the HMS, Wheel and Tonitrus, For flat damage weapons, just get the base stats and 50 or higher ARC, or if you want to use the Kos Parasite and the starting weapons (Saw Cleaver, Cane, Axe) then stay base STR/SKL and pump that ARC.

Tfw savescumming Pthumerian Elder and get a Blood Rock but a shitty gem so you have to softreset anyway.

>>146175491
Thanks for the quick answer. Since there isn't a way to respec (?) I probably wasted too many points on skill already so I'll just keep on using the Ludwig's sword. I like its moveset a tad better anyway, and it looks better with my executioner set.

Is the pizza cutter's one handed mode decent or is the weapon strictly for two-handing?

What's the best place to grind in the game? I'm going through the very first room of Iszh Gravestone level three, and am getting ~100,000 blood echoes per run, but I'm wondering if there's a more efficient spot somewhere. I'm trying to get all of my stats to 40 for the sake of being able to try everything to see what I want to do for my next build, but I'm at level 137 right now and it is quickly becoming a slog again.

>>146175502
I meant vit right now I can end with 50/12 /18/12/ 5/51 but It was supposed to be kos parasite and then I wanted to use the Whirligig. I still want to use the kos parasite and arcane tools though. If I get to 117 I can get arcane to 70.

>>146176024
No respecs. LHB is also amazing though. The Pizza Cutter is good in one handed mode too.

>>146176168
Cheers bro.

I'm still using my hunter's pistol I picked right at the start, there isn't any need to replace it with something else? I have 7 bloodtinge. Also, are guns worth upgrading?

>>146176167
There's really not much of a reason to go to 70 ARC aside from maximizing Hunter Tool efficiency. I run 50 ARC and my Hunter Tools still do significant enough damage to use them consistently. If you want to use the HMS, Wheel, or Tonitrus then I recommend going to 25 STR. If not, then go to 20 STR for your Whirligig then dump your remaining points (117 or 110 or whatever you prefer) into END or ARC. I think you may find 12 END is low for weapons like the HMS and Whirligig so I recommend trying them out at that END before you put more stats into something.

>>146176167
You can try everything out at level 117.

>>146176343
Personally, I get 8 tinge so I can use the repeating pistol. It is worth upgrading. Even at 8 tinge it does a ton of damage if you use a BMA.

Unless you are on a BLT build though, the other guns aren't worth upgrading, imo. For the most part they are just parry tools, and you can't still parry with them even without upgrading them. That said, there is no reason not to upgrade them if you already have your main weapons upgraded and the spare materials are just taking up space in your inventory. You should upgrade them on a BLT build though, because they do a tone of damage.

>>146176943
Thanks a ton for the advice, I might try out the repeating pistol. Now it's back to farming blood vials so I can finally beat Maria.

>>146176770
Eh. I'll stick with the 98 build for now. If I need to pump to 70 I will. It sucks that the scaling requires so much arcane.

>>146177308
Happy to help.

This is what an 8 BLT repeating pistol can do:

>>146179135
People seem to do well with the Whirly's dash R1.

>>146174385
120s can be invaded by Bl 76-142 tho

>>146179135
Untricked Wheel, Tonitrus, Beast Cutter, Kirkhammer, Amygdala Arm, Whirligig Saw, Boom Hammer, Hunter Axe, Saw Cleaver. The "best" is the one you like best.

>>146179241
Just wondering if theres a best str weapon in peoples eyes like the skill rakuyo
>>146179504
Holy fuck i was so excited for the whirligig b4 the dlc hit but during gameplay while im wearing those psn wireless headsets and the weapon sounds are way too annoying.

>>146179557
But 120 can't invade 98, friendo.

>>146179807
Hunters Axe is always a safe bet

We're at two hours of savescumming Pthumerian Elder. Still no good gem. Contemplating suicide.

>>146180717
These people really need to learn how to play the game instead of just stripping elements out because they don't want to figure out how to deal with them.

protip: most "broken" stuff in Souls games is super easy to counter

>>146180408
but everyone here is 98

>>146180935
It doesn't bother me, but I definitely understand how it could bother you. I couldn't use lightning weapons in DS1 because of the sound.

>>146180935
I love the sound. It's basically a screeching "PARRY NOW!"

>>146181027
You do you, man. I'll stick with my glorious 110. It's such a pretty number.

>>146181027
But everyone else doesn't give a fuck.

>>146181193
Y'know what's an even prettier number? 111

Why is the Kos Parasite such shit? I have a full set of pretty good ARC gems and my AR is barely breaking 300. Is this how it's supposed to be?

>>146181268
No no no. You don't understand the glory of the 0. This is why people ignored the superior 120 meta in DS1 in favor of 125. They didn't understand how nice and clean 120 was. I'm almost getting a chubby just thinking about it

>>146181332
I think the Milkweed moves have multipliers that make up for the apparently low AR, but I've never tried using it seriously enough to be sure.

>>146181265
who cares about everyone else? we can still invade and wreck them.

>>146181463
But if you like zeroes so much, why not stop at 100 instead? It has two of them!

>>146181546
Then come invade and wreck me.

>>146181578
Because one zero perfectly balances the clean style of the one and my favorite number, the two. It's almost like looking at the Sistine Chapel in number form.
Also I've got some terrible OCD, and it makes it easier to make my builds

>fighting Gascoigne with wireless headset

So when does pure Blt get fun? I'm currently at 30 Vit, 20 End, 30 Blt, everything else at base. Chikage does respectable damage in tricked form but nowhere near enough to make the HP drain worthwhile.

>>146182087
>sony wireless gold headset WITH the bloodborne specific audio settings

This sounds so absurdly autistic I might need to sell my PS4.

>>146181780
can't, busy playing atelier sophie

>>146182603
The trick to doing that in PvE is using the transformation attacks. For some reason the transformation attack from untricked to tricked Chikage has a crazy multiplier. Additionally untricked to tricked R2 decreases the health lost by half.

>>146182603
When you get the Bloodletter.

>>146182603
I kept a blunderbuss with a +5hp for negating momenta of tricked chikage. You care less when you 2h

>>146182603
when you use my build

>>146182738
Do u need meds dude? I dont think u know wut ur saying.

Jokes aside, it seems to really bring out everything like yharnamites have lines i havent heard or amelias prayer being clear as fuck.

Does anyone know of a glyph that has a mob Watcher that drops high level (over 23.9%) Fire/Bolt/Arc gems? I sick of spending so long on these Watcher bossfights only to get a Tempering gem.

>>146181907
Looks like people want to bitch.

>>146182845
Thanks for the tips

>>146182929
Not looking forward to trying to kill Ludwig with this build tbqh. Unless he's highly vulnerable to rapid poison.

>>146182969
Is +5 enough to fully negate it? I assumed it was % based like Power Within.

>>146184281
I put one in just so it heals like 20 hp after a few tricked r1s but it'll take awhile to heal the tricked r2.
Also the hp drain on the r2 is shortens if you go from neutral>l1>r2.

>>146182325
The damage seems a little low unless it's ungemed.

what the fuck...

You can hit Exit Game even while an invader is present?

From pls

So why the fuck do weapons have absurdly different health regains? A bonesaw with R1 mash can recover everything if whatever they attack doesn't die but you'll be lucky to recover a tenth of what you lost with a wheel.

Okay, may need help with Descendant. Anyone wanna assist my sorry ass if I don't get it in the next few tries?

>>146186747
give a pass and I'll SRRC

>>146186529
Each weapon just has a different multiplier. It really should be listed on the stat screen.

AFAIK the Burial Blade has the best in the game. Combined with the fact it has hyperarmour on R1 spam, you basically never need to use vials against weaker enemies.

>>146188252
Augur is better for backstabs than parries (since it fires instantly). You have to be at close range to get a visceral in, which makes parries riskier than just using a gun.

Can I do a visceral attack when two handing a weapon? For example, on a boss who I stagger?

I seriously cannot be bothered to get 27.2% gems in arcane, fire, and bolt. 95% of gem drops are tempering, and of the remaining 5%, 90% of those are shit. At this point I'm probably just going to farm a Bone Ash Hunter or Beast Possessed Soul enemy and take the decreased damage.

just beat bloodborne for the first time using a pure skill build, level 73. Stats are 35/20/16/36/6/10. I wanted to make a new character for blood tinge and arcane things, and I was wondering if anyone has any guides/suggestions? Can you do a blood tinge/arcane build or is the only viable blood tinge build blood tinge/skill? Weapon/magic item recommendations? Builds? I have this arcane guide image saved and it's what I was planning on going off of for arcane, no idea for blood tinge though.

Anyone know if the Tonitrus tricked form adds a flat amount of Bolt damage or if it augments the Bolt damage you already have like the Wheel does?

>>146193541
The buff has its own hidden scaling that is applied on top of the weapon's original bolt scaling, it's not the number you see in the menu.

>>146193359
Pure BLT is fine. You can use the tricked Chikage, tricked Bloodletter, and tricked Bowblade to great effect. Be aware that in making a pure BLT build, early game will be rough.

I don't know about a BLT/ARC build, but I suspect it would be absolute ass.

Pure ARC is also good, although you have a couple options when it comes to ARC. Either you get the base stats for the weapon you want to use +50 ARC, 25 STR +50 ARC for Wheel, HMS, and Tonitrus as well as everything else, or stick with base stats and 70 ARC which lets you use much more powerful Hunter Tools as well as the Kos Parasite and base level weapons like the Saw Spear and Threaded Cane. My personal ARC build uses a variety of weapons and has the stats 50/18/25/12/5/50.

So would using Cold gems or 27.2% Bolt gems be worth it, or should I just stick with Nourishing gems like I've been doing?

>>146194093
Bolt is better than nourishing if you're on a 50 arc build.
You should aim to make your buff as strong as possible, the damage you get from the weapon itself isn't worth much.

>>146194274
I'm running 25 STR and 50 ARC.

>>146194450
Go bolt

Why is kirkhammer so much better than every other str weapon?

>>146195278
Because it's not

>>146193945
By much more powerful hunter tools do you mean they'd deal more damage? Or are there tools that literally require 70 arc
And so if I went the 70 arc build I'd be using stuff like the saw spear mostly? Would I be doing any endurance or vit?

>>146195278
Great range, speed, has a small AoE on most of its attacks, has the ability to block attacks, and has several really good baits (Charge R2 follow, transforming follow up, neutral transforming follow up, ext...)

>>146195748
They'd do more damage. Hunter Tools scale differently than weapons, and even until 99 ARC they continue to scale well. The Parasite functions in a similar, though lesser, way.

If you went 70 ARC your weapons are going to be the Saw Spear, Threaded Cane, Hunter Axe, and of course the Kos Parasite.

As far as stat allocation goes, you could go 50/16/10/9/5/70 on a Cruel Fate character, which would put you at 110. If you wanted to go up to 117 (which is the max you can go while still being able to invade SL 98 characters), you could pump more into END if you so desire.

>>146196064
>Great speed
This is bait.

>>146196586
>I can't kirk properly therefore it is slow
:^)

Here is a hint: dont spam r1

Man I gotta say after nearly 3.5k hours i'm still not tired of BB. I have like 5k in DeS but I noticed I have no where near that in the DaS games.
>1.5 for DaS1
>1k for DaS2
>900 for DaS3
Why does the Dark souls series seem so plain in comparison to DeS/BB?

Have to do Loran all over because I erased it and forgot to pick up the little dead babies for the cursed Chalice.


That's enough Bloodborne for the day no thanks

>>146186246
You do realize I am not the only one that considers him the hardest, right?

>>146196963
Damn. I put 1.6k into DaS1, 1400 of which was invasions and duels, and ~700 into DeS because I think it has the second best PvE in the whole series, and I only recently bought BB but I have over 250 hours into it so far and love it. I do think that DeS and BB are the best the Souls series has to offer though.

>>146196586
It's not, the kirkhammer has great speed for a weapon of it's weight class, but you probably think anything that isn't BoM r1 spam is slow.

>>146197298
I regularly use the Wheel, albeit tricked, and I don't feel like it's that slow. Every time I've tried to use the Kirkhammer on my STR build I've always felt it's too clunky, not to mention ugly because of that giant hammerhead on your back, so I always stop using it.

>>146197232
Like 3k of my BB hours are PvP like everything else in the souls series I play the games mainly for PvP after a certain point.

>>146197474
Have you tried using the tricked for so it's not on your back.

Also I never really saw a significant speed difference between the wheel and the Kirk, they're both about the same in that regard through the wheel lacks some of the range and the AoE effect (which it makes up for with the potentially scary damage if built right)

There's a fuck-off huge guy with a hammer in Ihyll. Should I be worried?

>>146198584
Is he naked? If yes, you need to be extremely worried.

>>146198917
He was naked.

That wasn't so bad, Augur's knockdown is just broken.

>>146197903
Yea it's the tricked Kirkhammer I'm talking about. The untricked Kirkhammer is just a slower untricked LHB. I just don't understand how people can use the tricked Kirkhammer without feeling like they're moving through molasses.

To my understanding, the Gatling Gun has shite scaling. Is there any particular skill spread I need to make use of it, or can my 30 STR guy use it just fine, so long as it's upgraded?

I have almost 3k hours in DaS1. All but like 100 hours or so was dedicated to PvP. PvP is what brings people back because it is the only things that going to be different every time.

>>146201837
The slams don't really have shockwaves; his entire arms just have hurt boxes, even his elbows. Basically, you have to delay your roll until he starts the down swing. Otherwise, he will track you, and you will get hit.

>>146202086
Eugh, that's just nasty. Will try to keep that in mind...

It's not just invaders, as a cooperator I noticed that hosts are very trigger happy too these days.

>>146222621
I got constant invasions on my BL 300 a few months ago at Nightmare Frontier. And not just against PvE shitters, but against people who were actually there for 1v1.

That was before DkS3 came out, but still. Vast majority of players don't care about PvP meta, or don't know about PvP meta. The people who go to 4chan or gameFAQs or reddit is a really small slice of the overall population of the game.

Why is Exit Game never restricted like in the other games? Do they want hosts to disconnect because they're scared of invaders? You can literally just save and quit in the middle of an invasion.
