See though, that's the thing. You don't need to kill the summons, but you do it anyway to watch the host slowly or quickly start to panic as each and every one of their phantoms gets picked off before you move in on them. It's honestly kind of beautiful.

That's one thing I always liked about Bloodborne, you can only invade people who ask for it.

Call me a bitch but sometimes I feel like a jerk for killing players as they try to go through the level in Souls games.

Bloodbornes bell system however makes it so only dumb assholes get invaded. I love it.

You're right about DS3. There is also the issue where hosts can just resummon constantly. It's really dumb that you can kill 2 phantoms, and right as the third one dies the host has already replaced the first two.

It's a travesty that such an important character in the story is given such a lame boss fight, sure he was the first Cleric Beast, but that doesn't mean he has to look identical to the generic one we fought. Amelia/Ludwig/Gasgoine turned into beasts that bore some resemblance to thier human selves, why couldn't Laurence keep the basic structure of hulking beast with one big arm and antlers, but make him unique, change the proportions a bit, alter how he stands and moves, give him tattered clothes of whatever he wore etc...

The fact that many enemies DO look like one another is actually a pretty interesting in and of itself because it was clearly done on purpose and not out of laziness.

Its good against orphan but it also has a pretty short duration so you'll be spending all your bullets on it and then be fucked for the second half of the fight
It's really not too good for pve but you can definately make some fights easier with it

So I recently went through the game and dlc for the first time and I'm in love with it. I'd like to try an arc build but I've been told they are pretty demanding and I'm not really sure where to begin. I would imagine I'd need to start with cruel fate and just pump points into arc correct?

Yeah, I had seen that but will that work if I want to use the HMS and wheel? They both look fucking sick to use, especially the wheel but I'm not sure if they perform better as str weapons or arcane.

Yeah, pump Arc and kill Cleric and Gasgoine with Oil Urns and Molatovs, then destroy BSB with Flamesprayer and more Oil Urns/Molatovs.

After that get your 9% Waning Fire Gem from Church Workshop, and go into the first chalice and get two Fire Radials, Hotdog will give you one and the flaming-weapon Pthumerians can be farmed for Cursed ones really easily (theres a spot on Layer 2 that has two of them within 5 seconds of the lamp).

After that you will plow through Amelia, Hemwick and the Forest. Which lets you acsess Lecture Hall for Auger of Eribritas and Cainhurst for Executioner Gloves. You can go into the DLC if you want, but it will be very hard, if you can beat Ludwig and Maria you'll get Blacksy Eye and Accursed Brew which are helpful.

You can keep doing Chalices for better and better Fire Radials (Depth 3 gives 16.5%), putting the Forbidden Woods Arcane Triangle and the Shitty Nourishing you get from Chalice Rom on a Cane can work well, or a Bolt Radial (Nightmare Frontier) and that same Nourishing on another Saw weapon.

I honestly don't understand how people have difficulty with Amygdala.

Not at all. I think Kilij is actually pretty mediocre compared to other meta PvP stuff (which says more about DeS PvP than it does the Kilij). But Kilij IS a big offender in the "I made a tiny mistake and got totally blown the fuck out for it" category.

The Keelhauler is far worse in that regard, considering its massive AR and hard knockdown which can't be toggled, as opposed to the Kilij which can be toggled, assuming you recognize that you made a mistake early and therefore are ready to toggle.

I honestly love DeS PvP to death and back, in part because of its imbalances. Each encounter is off-the-walls entertaining, much like Bloodborne, actually. This is coming from someone that doesn't use the "OP" weapons (at least as far as I know). My favorite weapon in that game to use in both PvE and PvP is the LSoM. The DeS version of that sword is by far my favorite out of any game followed by DaS1, then BB, not that it matters.

I'd really love to find people to go back to DeS PvP with, but /dsg/ shits on pretty much everything that's no DaS1 and nowhere else cares about the game anymore.

You *can* toggle knockdowns in Demon's Souls, but vast majority of people, even regular PvP'ers, didn't know that. If you're strafing to the left when you get hit by a knockdown, you can toggle and quickstand from the KD. I don't know the exact timing because I didn't learn of this until after the game was pretty dead and there weren't many people to try it with. But it definitely works.

Kilij you usually don't toggle escape. Kilij is kinda like straightswords in DkS3, I guess? I haven't done much DkS3 PvP, but they do a similar thing where they R1 spam at you, and when you roll away, you're almost guaranteed to get hit out of your roll. And in DeS where damage output is really high, one R1 followed by instability R1 usually means cracked SC.

But yeah, every weapon in DeS feels crazy powerful, even when they're not that good, and it's a big part of what I love about the PvP. Just did some 4-1 PvP the other day and had lots of fun.

LSoS wasn't popular, or very strong, but it wasn't totally unusable. There was one good PvP'er who used it a bit. Curved Sword moveset + huge range is really annoying, and can be dangerous if you underestimate it. But its damage is really bad, so even if you landed three times as many hits as your opponent, you'd probably still lose.

Personally I always stuck with the meta PvP weapons/builds. I thought there was plenty of variety in them. My favorites were 2H katana (not dual-wielded), Dragonbone Smasher, and Knight Sword/BBS. I used pretty much everything at one point or another, though.
>>
Still admiring the Ludwig fight. Just amazing from a game design and art perspective, a great example of mixing mechanics and story. Ludwig himself represents a lot of Bloodborne's core themes and it all comes together beautifully.
>>
>>146440967
Wait wait wait just one damn second. You can toggle knockdowns in DeS? I've spent almost 1k hours in that game and never did it, even when I had toggling down to instinct so I tried it anyway. Is that really true? That blows my mother fucking mind.
As far as toggling the Kilij, what I mean is you can queue up a toggle if you go outspaced or simply missed your attack and are stuck in the animation, which helps you get out after only one or two hits.
Also I was talking about the Large Sword of Moonlight, not the Large Sword of Searching. The Large Sword of Search I imagine is like the Penetrating sword, meaning it has great range but shit damage. The Penetrating Sword can be buffed though and the LSoS can't.
I used the BSS on my first PvP build, but I couldn't stand the reliance on the buff. I could have used the NR after the buff ran out, but that just wasn't my style. I did use LMAO 2 KATS though. Pushlock was never something I used because I deemed it OP and I have a perverted sense of honor that only applies to me, but the quick attacks and extended moveset were fun to use.

Holy fuck, this has to be the hardest the Souls series has ever been. Everything is kicking my ass. I managed to brute force my way to Ludwig, but I've hit a wall. Am I trying this too early? Should I be a higher level? I'm 40, for the record.

>>146442575
Yea. You should probably be around SL 70, maybe higher. 40 Is way too low.
>>
>>146442575
Yeah, you should be around 65 I think they recommend to tackle the DLC, though I went in around your level and pillaged the first area and Ludwig around your level just for the weapons. Took me 6 tries to down him.
>>
>>146442575
DLC is the hardest part of the game, it's best to do it just before the final boss. Although feel free to run around picking up items in the first area, there's some good weapons and cool outfits, plus a bunch of Chunks for upgrading.

That's incredible
>>

Once the beasthood is built up you want to hit more quickly though. Even regular weapons with Beast Blood Pellets can fill up beasthood quickly enough and keep it filled.

Ludwig fucks me up, man.

>I never wanted to know what it really was... Really, I didn't!

Ludwig wasn't curious about the HMLS's origin. He didn't want to look a gift horse in the mouth (so to speak). He was simply satisfied to have the protection and guidance of the moonlight with him when out on hunts.

This is in direct opposition to the antagonistic institutions of the game. The Healing Church and Byrgenwerth both committed atrocities in their search for insight. Pretty much every bad thing in Bloodborne is a result of their attempts at ascension.

Ludwig's incurious nature is meant be ennobling by its opposition to these institutions. In an Icarian story about selfish men reaching for the stars, even if it means burning the world around them down, Ludwig is satisfied with what he has. He uses his existing station to better peoples' lives, not for his own gain. But it's also his tragic flaw.

Ludwig was a tool of the Healing Church, and his lack of curiosity is what enabled him to be used by them. Ludwig knew what people thought of his church hunters, but believed them to be noble despite what his detractors said. He believed that the church hunters helped to keep people safe by slaying beasts, and was blind to the fact that they were effectively becoming a state terrorist organization for the Healing Church. And Simon says this, upon giving you the HMLS:

>Here... this is Ludwig's guiding light. The blinding thread that lead and misled that consummate hero.

So even the HMLS was taking advantage of Ludwig in some capacity, though it's left ambiguous as to how.

The conclusion drawn by Ludwig's character is that the same trait that allowed him to be heroic, also led to him being taken advantage of. Which is a really bleak implication with an upsetting level of relevance to the real world.

Oh whoops, LSoM. I found LSoM kind of bothersome to play against. Like I'd be turtling with a shield, and some guy takes it out, so I just two-hand my weapon. Then they'd switch back to their other weapon, so I'd go back to turtling. It was this weird back-and-forth, but it was easier for me to switch from 1H to 2H than it was for them to switch to LSoM and 2H it.

Oh yeah, queue'ing a toggle before getting hit would be useful. That's another thing I didn't learn of until after DeS had mostly died down. I used it a lot in DkS where it was pretty unfair. Zweihander user manages to actually trader attacks with your katana? Toggle backstab them for their troubles.

And yes, quickstanding is really a thing. You have to be strafing, and I *think* you have to be strafing left and it won't work if you strafe right, but I'm not 100% positive on that.

I also don't like BBS's buff reliance, I used KS instead most of the time. It's still more reliant on CW than a lot of physical weapons, but it's not nearly as bad as BBS.

It is implied the sword has a conscience of it's own and that it decides who to show itself to and who to offer gudiance which is "of an elusive sort."

I love the LSoM so much. It looks badass, it has a light equip weight, it's got a single damage type that isn't physical, it's got scaling with an unconventional stat, it goes through mother fucking shields. So many boxes checked for me.

In DkS toggle was retardedly unfair against heavy weapons. Not to mention that 90% of the time heavy weapons were RBS bait. Basically each time a heavy weapon attacked, whether you got hit or not, it was a free BS.
I'm gonna have to look into this quickstanding thing. I've literally never heard of this before. Too bad I'll never be able to use it because no one fucking plays DeS anymore besides me
I don't know what the KS is, but I'm really not a fan of buff reliance. I'm okay with having a buff as a supplement, but the weapon should stand on its own as far as I'm concerned.

How to make a fun arcane run without the dlc?
Just finished my second playthrough.
One with the rifle spear, the other with Ludwigs Holy Blade.

I have zero sense of direction of where to go asides that cane and tortintus i think it was scale with arcane.

>>146446216
>he actually believes he has friends

Shit guys this is actually getting a bit too sad.
>>
>>146446276
LHB is the best non-DLC Arc weapon.
>>
>>146446353
Do I just stack arcane to 50 or go with split str/arcane?
>>
So, what does Yharnam leaving the EU mean for the beast scourge?
>>
>>146446482
You want minimum Str and Skl because when you switch to ARC scaling you lose all your Str and Skl scaling.
>>
>>146446276
I'm going to assume you don't have the DLC.

The Logarius Wheel scales incredibly hard with Arcane in its tricked form. Other than that literally every non-bloodtinge weapon that isn't named BoM or Burial Blade can be used because you convert pure phys damage weapons with elemental blood gems. High ARC scaling pure phys weapons include the LHB, Threaded Cane, and Kirkhammer, but every pure phys weapons can be good, especially with Cold blood gems. Other than that, if you're going a pvp-viable build, go for 25 STR and 50 ARC if you want to use Tonitrus and the Wheel, if you have a particular weapon you want to use, go to base stats on that weapon (ex. 16/12 on LHB), then dump the rest into ARC, finally if you want to maximize Hunter Tool damage, leave base stats at minimum and pump ARC up to 70, which allows you to use all of the starter weapons + the Saw Spear.

My PSN is Pope_Charles_IV. I did some work in the DkS1 scene, but never really got into dueling (aka 4-1 stuff) before DeS died due to the fanbase splitting among so many games.

What progression do I make for Chalices to be worth doing?

>>
Holy hell, Loran Darkbeast has so much health. This is silly.

>>146448776
Just do the Pthumeru ones. Roots are optional but you can get more materials and items.
>toon
Anon, I...
>>
>>146448776
You should be ignoring the root chalices until you beat the non-root chalice after Defiled. The earlier roots aren't worth it for end game. The deeper root chalices are the ones with good loot. You have to complete the non-roots to get them.
>>
>>146448776
You need to do all of the normal chalices first, with the exception of hintertomb of course because it's useless. After you finish them all, the three root chalices you'll be using are Lower Loran, Pthumeru Ihyll, and Isz. To maximize the rewards you get from those root chalices, you'll want to enhance them with Fettid Rotting and Cursed rituals.

Also obligatory
>toon
>>
>>146448776
Do you have PS+?

Play online and don't make your own Chalice's, just join ones that people already made to easily get more materials to make the nesisary ones to progress.

In the future when the servers inevitably go down forever Gem farming will be downright insanity inducing.

Does anyone else positively love co-op and bosses but feel like actual PvE isn't worth it on NG+ and beyond?

I find myself doing speed runner strats through old most areas, notably castle cainhurst and old Yharnam. Feels weird to be looking forward to an area to just say fuck it and sprint through to shortcuts. I feel like the game has similar problems to DaS1 towards endgame. After beating rom it's a race to Gherman after hitting the bosses as fast as possible.
>>
>>146450008
Yeah, I think most people are like that. At most, people go to NG+ to unlock the extra stuff in the shops.
>>
>>146450008
every souls game gets that on repeat plays, running by enemies is too easy.
>>

>>146448650
It's like DesecratedFlame or something edgy like that, yes? Because for some reason that's what comes to mind.

And before you get too full of yourself, I know a lot of people's PSN's that hang around here. Mostly FCers and co-op regulars.

Level doesn't mattter. You want a +9 weapon

Doesn't it seem counter intuitive to be skipping the majority of the content in the game if you really like the game?
Though it is generally more efficient in souls games to just walk past everyone, I think BB does a better job than the others at hindering it. Enemies generally have an easier time catching up to the player, at least.

>>146482079
117 is to invade the sub-handful of people that play at 98, which you can regularly see on a weekly basis in FCs. It's a poorly made disguise for people that want to go to 120 but don't want to be labeled as overleveled or simply can't make a build at around 100.

The model was made from scratch and they can also be seen in the concept art, which was made before the game itself.
>>
>>146482079
Why you shouldn't build to a level specifically to counter the local meme meta, or why you shouldn't build to sub-50 in your damage?

The only reason to go to 117 is so you can have the biggest edge possible against local 98 memers. Which is dumb, because that means you don't get as many invasions at lower levels and only invade giant BL150+ shitters all day outside of fight clubs.

You shouldn't have your damage stat below 50 because that's just gimping yourself out of damage for no reason. The difference between 45 and 50 vit is negligible, and endurance is such a luxury stat that you can do just fine without leveling it up, outside of a select few weapons.

Also, 15 arc I guess? The only tools you'd get for that are Beast Roar and Old Hunter Bone, neither of which are particularly helpful. You'd be better off cutting that entirely and putting those points into more bloodtinge.
>>
>>146482323

Not trying to be a dick, but I honestly fail to see the entertainment in fighting players whose level ranges from 138 to 172.
>>
>>146482615
They're numerous.
>>
>>146482726

Undoubtably, but they're most likely not going to offer you much of a challenge since they felt the need to level up that much in order to be able to fight back invaders or to just get through the game.
>>
>>146482263
To be honest, I would rather play against level 120 players than 117 players. At least 120ers are just doing their own thing. 117ers are just looking for an unfair advantage in the weekly FCs.

It would make you pretty fucking strong compared to a 98 and a 150 in the hands of any competent player would make the entirety of the game completely irrelevant.

Its a handicap, there is no argument about it.

Most good players stop at 98 to 120. A competent level 98 will be harder to beat than most level 150ers.

So I heard the other day that Lady Maria is acting as the host of the Hunter's Nightmare, like Micolash is for the Nightmare of Mensis, and Gehrman is for the Hunter's Dream. Is there any truth to this statement?
>>
>>146503769
>>146503935
Would 45 vit be better than 15 endurance? I'm still not quite sure how vital endurance is or how big the difference between 15 and 11 is. Is going beyond base END worth it compared to more VIT?
>>
>>146497953
Did you make sure to set the network to Worldwide?
>>
>>146504039
No. The Orphan of Kos is the host of the Hunter's Nightmare. Hence why Simon talks about it being a 'prison of their own creation' since Gehrman and Maria were the ones to fuck with Kos/Kos's orphan, creating the Nightmare, if I remember correctly. This also involves the parasites somehow, but I forgot exactly.
>>
>>146504074
The 20% stamina rune is worth 7 points of endurance anyway so it's not like you're gonna be missing out a lot.
>>
>>146504074
Typically speaking, endurance is a luxury stat. Usually it's only big weapons or strength weapons that want more than base end, but even those don't need more than 20.

Oh, and when I said base end, I meant to add "if you start as Noble Scion." You'd only have 8 endurance, but even that little is enough with the tier 3 stamina rune.
>>
>>146504217
host =/= creator

Micolash is the host of the Hunter's Nightmare, and Mergo (or the Wetnurse) was it's source.

The Great One is the source of the dream, and the "host" is the one who gets to decide it's form. It's as though the Dream is a fancy eldritch birdcage or prison cell, and the "host" is the prisoner who gets an input on his cell's aesthetics
>>
>>146504217
Great ones can't host nightmares.
>>
>>146504450
Where did you read the aesthetics part?
>>
>>146504450
>>146504469
Ah, yeah you're both right, I got my terminology wrong. Gehrman = host of the Hunter's Dream while MP = creator then, yeah?
In that case Maria would probably be the most likely candidate for the host of the Hunter's Nightmare, although the Nightmare doesn't necessarily have to have a host does it? It's basically Hunter Hell and I can't imagine anyone wanting to have control over it.

>>146504657
Every nightmare has a host except for Frontier.
It's possible that Maria is the host of the Hunter's Nightmare, but it's not confirmed. It could also be the vagabond in the fishing hamlet since he started the curse.

>>146504714
That's only one instance.
>>
>>146504657
IMO Maria is the host of the Hunter's Nightmare just because of the sheer amount of stuff in it that relates specifically to her past. If the Nightmare was just some generic hunter hell (or more like Valhalla desu), then there would be little point in throwing in stuff like the Research Hall. Stopping at endless plains of twisted Yharnam would be more than sufficient.

Also, the Hunter's Nightmare didn't ALWAYS exist, it suddenly came into being one day and sucked in all of Yharnam's hunters. The fact that it was created on purpose makes me think that it had an architect to go along with it's creator.

My headcanon is that when Maria made her "pact" with the Orphan to make the Nightmare, it was intended to be patterned off of Maria's memories of Yharnam. It included shit like the Research Hall to torment with her, forcing her to spend eternity with recreations of her "research," knowing how guilt-ridden she was over it, because the Orphan was a spiteful and petty motherfucker who would do something like that
>>
>>146504896
fishman didn't start the curse, he only asked for it. the Orphan actually laid the thing down
>>
>>146504313
>>146504401
Ah okay, so I don't really need high END for a Chikage/Bowblade build. Is the 25 SKL correct in this case?
Sidenote: Is the only way to get the 3rd anti-clockwise rune through that chalice dungeon?
And I also mocked it up with a Noble Scion start, and it looks like this. Not sure which is better, obviously the start of the game will be a lot more annoying but that's a minor thing.

We'll find out as soon as he gets back from the store where he's picking up cigarettes.
>>
>>146505010
But I'm pretty sure the nightmare was created by the Orphan of Kos due to the atrocities that occurred in the Fishing Hamlet by the original hunters (i.e. Gehrman and Maria). Not only did they fuck with the corpse of Kos/fuck with the Orphan of Kos, they violently performed experiments on the locals and other horrible things. These horrible things caused the Orphan of Kos to create the Hunter's Nightmare, which is why Simon refers to it as a prison of their own creation.

I'm not quite sure if all of the Yharnam hunters were sucked in all at once, I think it's just a meta planescape where you go for being a blood-addled hunter, i.e. Ludwig.
>>
>>146505187
>>146505378
Yes, 25 skill would be good if you plan on ever using your weapons untricked. Otherwise, you'd be better off channeling some of those points into strength for the Bloodletter and the rest into whatever else you'd want.

Yes, Anti-Clockwise 3 is only in the chalices, but the stamina runes from the main game should serve you well enough until you get there.

The difference between 45 and 46 vit is so nonexistant that you'd be better off going to 11 strength for the shield, by the way. 20 health won't save you from much of anything, whereas the shield has its uses.
>>
>>146505562
the nightmare was made significantly later than that, after the Church and the Hunters were already well established in downtown Yharnam. It didn't form until after the Church had already set up their research labs, it was well after Byrgenwerth's original sin.

The Orphan pulled the Hamlet into the Nightmare to stop Byrgenwerth, and the Church re-discovered it later with the Celestial Clocktower. Maria formed the Hunters' Nightmare as a guardpost of insane hunters to guard the place from further incursion.

Probably just gonna go with this, since I'm guessing the 44 vs 45 vit isn't GAMEBREAKING or anything horrible, and I already have a Lone Survivor character who's level 20~ish and has killed Gascoigne and BSB, so It's a bit less of a headache to get the BLT character started.

There's no evidence that the Hamlet was pulled into the nightmare though. The only are we know for sure was pulled into a nightmare was the Lecture Hall, and that's completely separate from everything else. The Hamlet isn't, you can see the masts of the ships from the Nightmare Frontier, and you can see the Hunter's Nightmare below it.

It's more likely just a nightmare version of the slaughtered Fishing Hamlet. As the Research Hall, Astral Clocktower, and Hunter's Nightmare are nightmare version of their respective areas.

I don't know if that will work very well, since tools need lots of points to scale well, and at 43 you'd be stuck at a maximum of 47 Arcane, while the first softcap is 70. Your damage wouldn't be great, and you'd have no health.

There Astral Clocktower provides decent evidence for the idea of the Hamlet being pulled into the Nightmare. The Astral Clocktower is a device that, when activated, allows one to traverse the Nightmare. We know that it grants access to the Fishing Hamlet (which is why Maria kept the dial, it's key, forever on her person). Therefore, it is safe to suppose that the Hamlet was in the Nightmare.

Assuming that it resides within the Nightmare also answers the question of
>if Byrgenwerth and the Church had free access to Great Ones and eyes on the inside, why would they abandon this research to go and do other stuff, especially considering that the Hamlet was finally providing good results on Willem's methods
the answer is because this free access was taken from them, forcing them to abandon this super-promising avenue of work.

Besides, the Hunter's Nightmare and the Hamlet are technically a part of the same Nightmare, so it makes sense that you can see one from the other
>>
>>146517046
My understanding is that flat ARC is best for the tricked multi-hit attacks, such as roll-R1, and Nourishing is best for a varied moveset, including untricked attacks.
>>
>>146517870
You wouldn't happen to know off the top of your head which attacks are multihit, would you? I know the dodging r1 is, and I'm pretty sure the 3rd and 4th r1 in the combo are.

>>146517736
Thanks for the info.
>>
>>146510754

What is the evidence for the Lecture Hall being pulled into the Nightmare?
>>
>>146518036
Both of its dash attacks, running R1, hit three and four of the R1 chain and all three hits of the R2 chain, as well as the jump attack. That totals... nine multihit attacks, I think?

>free access to Great Ones

This didn't exist.

They already milked everything out of the Hamlet. They pried open the fisherman's heads, and killed Kos' unborn child and ran off with the Third Cord.
>>
Do phys gems affect visceral damage, or is it only nourishing gems that do that?
>>
>>146518235
So basically the only ones that aren't multihit are the first and second r1s, the backstep attacks, and the running r2?
>>
>>146518375
>they had such complete access to the Hamlet they were free to defile Kos' corpse as they pleased, like ripping her child out of her womb
literally no reason to not dissect her and examine her remains for decades and decades unless they were forced to stop and explore other avenues because the Orphan took that access from them as a final "fuck you" and to protect it's people. the fishmen prayed for deliverance and the Great Ones are helpful in spirit
>>
>>146518625
nobody cares
>>
>>146518625
The back step r2 should be a multi hit attack, I believe it's the only one that hits 4 times instead of 3 like the others but I'm not sure.
>>
>>146518668

The corpse was so riddled with parasites that keeping hold of it would have been futile?

There's no reason to believe the Hamlet is the 'real world' hamlet pulled into the Nightmare. There's no precedent for anything like that happening.

The case for the lecture hall having been 'pulled into' the Nightmare isn't even that strong. Micolash is the host of the nightmare, why wouldn't he and his mensis cronies want a planar lecture hall to talk about the new treasures revelations they've found? Just like the Hunter's Dream, it's a projection of the Host's ideas/memories etc. into the Dreamlands.

This is probably why Maria is the best candidate for the Host of the orphan's nightmare. She was at the Research Hall, the Hamlet, and Yharnam, in the real world.

Depends on the weapon, but it also depends on how good your secondary stats are. If you're just comparing (.65 scaling x2 + 27.2%) and (.65 scaling + 27.2% x2) with 50 Arc, then anything with Arc scaling above .56 only needs 1 cold abyssal.

the only logical explanation is that the Orphan retreated into it's own private Nightmare realm because it's irl body died, like how Mergo is kept alive in the Nightmare. The church found the Orphan with the Astral Clocktower, and Maria made a pact with it to make the Hunter's Nightmare. I'm positing that the Orphan took the rest of the Village, or at least the carcass of Kos, with it when it left.

I honestly feel like the extra stamina is pretty useless, especially with the hunter tools, as they don't cost stamina, although they do require stamina to use. If I were you, I'd either go +5 and +4 Formless Oeden + Clockwise or +5 Oeden + 15% and 10% clockwise, but that's just me. If you feel like you really need the stamina, you can go anticlock, but I don't thin you'll need it.

>>
>>146519964
>the Nightmare existed before the Church grew in power
that's what I'm saying you dingus. the Orphan was keeping itself alive in the Nightmare after Byrgenwerth killed it in real life. However, the Hunter's Nightmare, the "suck you into it if you go blood-drunk and die" part of it, didn't form until after the Church was going strong, and hunters were a dime a dozen, patrolling downtown Yharnam.

Please explain this one.

>the Orphan took the rest of the Village, or at least the carcass of Kos, with it when it left

The Hamlet in the Nightmare is a facsimile created by the Orphan, and is not the real thing. Like how the Hunter's Workshop in the Moon Presence's realm is a recreation.
>>
>>146520362
They ARE 1/3 umbilical cords.

There happen to be four of them available though, implying they're not all thirds of the same umbilical cord.
>>
>>146519643
Except you can't get more than one 27.2% on ARC builds because only triangles get 27.2% for fire, bolt, or arcane. Bolt has 22.5% waning + 27.2% triangle as the best, fire has 25.8% fire and 27.2% fire as the best, and arcane has 23.1% and 27.2% as the best.

I don't know if any of that makes a difference though. I don't know the AR calculation formula.
>>
>>146520417
The Hamlet you visit in the nightmare is the real one, it has no equivalent in the waking world, it contains the real fishing hamlet inhabitants and there's no reason for Orphan to make a replica of it.
He pulled the village in the nightmare to protect it.
>>
>>146520710
>it has no equivalent in the waking world,
Because we don't personally visit it? There's absolutely 0 evidence that the nightmare's Fishing Hamlet isn't exactly that: a nightmare.

This is how Nightmares work. It's not a fucking painting and the Orphan doesn't pick what to put where.
>>
>>146518523
Yeah they do, for an Arc build its sometimes worth it to have a regular weapon with 3 Physical gems on it just for Viscerals. But I usually just do a Chsrged R2 and follow-up from the HMS if there's no one going to attack me.

>>146520417
"Great volumes of water serve as a bulwark that guards sleep, and an Augur of the Aldrich Truth"

First, the basic observation that the Astral Clocktower takes you to the Fishing Hamlet is important. We can clearly see that the Nightmare has non-euclidean geometry going about, and the Clocktower allows you to punch through it. It's very much a device meant for travel.

Second, if you look closely, instead of hours on the hands of the clocktower, there are Caryll Runes. Initially, the Caryll Runes are pointed at "Beast" and "Guidance." When you hold up the celestial dial, they converge on "Deep Sea." IE, the Clocktower's function is to punch through the Ocean, and reveal the Eldritch Truth (aka secret) to whomever walks through the resultant portal. In this case, the Eldritch Truth in question is an otherwise inaccessible part of the Nightmare. It can traverse different parts of the Nightmare, while in the Nightmare. It stands to reason that it's equivalent real-life function would be similar. And we know that it had to have existed irl, because it got into the Nightmare (which is patterned in memories) in the first place.

This lines up with the whole "Maria made a pact with the Orphan" hypothesis that people ITT are rolling with, because in order to have made a pact with the Orphan, Maria would have had needed access to it. Given that the Orphan was dead irl, and only existed in the Nightmare, this implies that Maria would have needed access to the Nightmare to make her contact. Which the Clocktower would provide.
>>
>>146520710

Everyone at the Hamlet was murdered mate. It has 'no equivalent in the waking world' because we don't visit its geographic location in the waking world - you have no evidence the real Fishing Hamlet was pulled into the nightmare whereas there's evidence to suggest that things are replicated or recreated in great one dreams.

>no reason for Orphan to make a replica of it

There is 'no reason' to make a replica of anything in the various nightmares - the Moon Presence could have taken the abandoned workshop, and yet it didn't.

The Orphan was either channeling Maria's experience with the Hamlet, created something of a 'home' for itself based off what it knew was familiar (similar to the 'loft' Mergo has,) or some other inexplicable reason you'd have to be a Great One to understand.

Now, what might be feasible is that the recreated Hamlet in the Nightmare is populated by the real hamlet denizens, and their 'souls' have been pulled into the nightmare similar to how the blood-addled hunters are.

If not, the real inhabitants of the Nightmare Hamlet are as 'real' as the patients in the Research Hall, i.e not at all.

Except for the multiple inhabitants you meet. One of them can also talk to you.
The Hunter's Dream is similar to the workshop because that's how Gehrman wanted it to be, the workshop was a very important part of his life.
It's clarified that only hunters are transported in the nightmare.
"If not, the real inhabitants of the Nightmare Hamlet are as 'real' as the patients in the Research Hall, i.e not at all" really doesn't make any sense. They're real as fuck, they can even kill you.
Hamlet and Research Hall have no equivalents in the waking world because they were taken from it, just like Byrgenwerth.

This is backed up by the Choirs whole "the cosmos are just above our heads" thing. What if they opened a doorway to the great ones Litterally in the tallest building in Yharnam.

It's in the Upper Cathedral Ward, like how the Astral Clocktower is still in the waking world.

Byrgenwerth is still in the waking world, as you actually visit the bloody place prior to you braining Rom.

I will clarify what I meant by 'as real as the patients in the Research Hall' - I meant that they are not the actual patients but a conjuration/creation of the nightmare, similar to the skeletons/yetis/mannikins/anything that isn't an invading hunter, in the Nightmare Frontier

It does, if you're still ignoring secondaries then Bolt and Arcane will always want 2 cold abyssals, and Fire will also want 2 if its arcane scaling is below .69. But that's assuming you're replacing the weaker of the two percent gems with a .65 scaling, and I'm not good at which gems go in which slot.

Dead people appear in the nightmares all the time you dolt. Maria is dead, Miciolash is dead, pretty much everyone we meet in OH is dead, Gehrman is likely dead, and by extension Adeline was likely a Blood Saint of yesteryear, her consciousness now trapped in the Hunter's Nightmare.

It depends on your Arcane stat, the gem you'd be replacing it with, whether you want to farm for a specific secondary, and the base AR of your weapon in addition to whatever its Arcane scaling is, actually.

>>146523676
Enlighten us.
>>
>>146523716

Perhaps they're just all dead. that doesn't mean the Research Building was pulled in with the dead patients. Do you think part of Yharnam was pulled in to the nightmare too, along with that river of blood?

>>146523506
>>146523872

You don;t have to be 'blood-addled' to get in to the Nightmare. you just have to be a 'descendent' of Byrgenwerth/'s legacy. That's how the curse works, dummy - being blood-addled is A WAY to fulfill that.

>>146523872
>Enlighten us.

1. You're a hunter
2. Go hunt some beasts

It's just what a hunter does.
>>
>>146523872
why are you trying to imply that Ludwig wasn't blood-addled? what does that even have to do with Maria?

Reminder that Ludwig only regained his sanity when his magic sword spoke to him, and before that he was completely feral, he very much deserved to be there.

>get waning fire gem from brainfucker in Healing Church Workshop

the fuck is this shit?

There's no brainsucker up there, or is he just trying to be cute by calling some random enemy a 'brainfucker'?
>>
>>146524092
I'm saying the opposite, Ludwig was blood addled and sentient, so is Maria.
>Reminder that Ludwig only regained his sanity when his magic sword spoke to him
And Maria only regained her sanity after the hunter tried to trespass the celestial clocktower.

Its just worded poorly.
After going through the workshop and killing the beast fag at the bottom, you should come upon some misty streets. Explore around there and you'll find the brainsucker guarding the gem
>>
>>146524282
>Ludwig was sentient
what the fuck? did you never fight Ludwig's first form. Sentient my ass.

Maria is actually dead (inspect corpse) before you touch her. I always thought that she lies as still as a corpse, only moving and speaking when someone gets too close. She exhibits ZERO (0) of the typical blood-addled symptoms, so it's illogical to assume that she has them and that we totally just don't see it you guys, pls believe me pls

For a bowblade/chikage bloodtinge build, what gems should I be slotting in them and what versions of the weapons should I be using?
I've heard that there are bloodtinge gems that can go into your right hand weapons, is that the best option for them, and if so should I even be leveling skill since all damage will be converted to bloodtinge?
Or is it just better to go 25 SKL and use +physical gems, since those increase blood damage as well correct?
>>
>>146524464
>what the fuck? did you never fight Ludwig's first form. Sentient my ass
>Maria is actually dead
There's nothing less sentient than a dead person.
Ludwig was more sentient than she was in his beast mode.
>>
>>146524662
>a dead person runs around and mindlessly slaughters everything in a bloodlust-fueled frenzy
people must be dead differently where you're from
>>
>>146524790
She killed herself because she mindlessly slaughtered everything, even though she didn't really want to do it.
In other words she was blood addled.
>>
>>146524890
>She killed herself because she mindlessly slaughtered everything
that's a funny way of spelling "was employed as a researcher who conducted carefully controlled (albeit gruesome) experiments all day"
>>
>>146524651
Use normal physical gems mainly so you can use both tricked and untricked. You'll want the Lost versions of Chikage and Bow blade once you've farmed some 31.5% bloodtinge gems. The real pain is getting perfect off-shapes so stick with physical until then.

Why are there still no doujins of this game?

>>
>>146525060
Ah okay so basically just stick with physical and then use those physical versions to farm the bloodtinge versions? Makes sense.
Once I get the 31.5% bloodtinge gems (guessing from a chalice dungeon a billion times or something), that will convert the untricked blades into blood damage won't it?
>>
>>146524602
I'm still alive, ring again and we can pick up where we left off.
Where the fuck is this second bell ringer?
>>
>>146524890

no

She killed herself because she was guilty.

"The eye of a Blood-Drunk Hunter. Its pupil is collapsed and turned to mush, indicating the onset of the scourge of beasts.

A hunter who goes drunk with blood is said to be taken by the Nightmare, destined to wander forever, engaged in an endless hunt. It is a fate that no Hunter can escape"

maria doesn't exhibit any of those symptoms. The other 'old hunters' in the Nightmare do.

She was part of the fishing hamlet incident too, which was literally a gruesome massacre. There are heads and bodies everywhere.
That's why she decided to throw her sword away.

The costumes are sceneries are too complex to draw.

>>146525194
>Where the fuck is this second bell ringer?

I thought she was underneath the platform but now I'm worried she might be on the balcony up top.

Or maybe in a room on the other side of the dungeon. The tracking on those red enemies' AI is insane.

...and was then subsequently employed by the Church as a nurse, who certainly wouldn't allow a raving blood-addled lunatic around all of their sensitive research equipment. Would Crowsteel have made a good caretaker? Would insane Henryk or Gascoigne?

honestly anon, you really haven't thought this through

>>146525103
>why are there still no doujins

>>
>>146525187
Bloodtinge gems don't add normal physical damage, only blood. So your untricked damage is sacrificed for higher blood damage from the tricked versions. Stick with normal physical to use the full moveset of the weapons. The normal version of the weapons are for pure physical gems, Lost for higher bloodtinge damage. It's okay to have both versions in hand whenever you want to dish out higher blood damage.

It means the section of Cathederal Ward you get to by going down the Workshop "platforming" section. There's some regular mobs, a couple dogs, a Snatcher and a Brainsucker guarding a 9% fire radial with 2 health regen as a secondary. Best you'll get until loran.

I've beaten just about everything else in the game except for FRC dungeon gem farming, and I can't enter NG+ without having to re-do Chalice Dungeons.

This is hell

Yes you can. Chalices don't reset.

What?

do you mean because of the living string ? chalice progress does not reset
>>
>>146526913

>>146526735

Fucking seriously? I was lied to. Thought that NG+ erased Chalice Dungeons and any Chalice Materials I had.

Badass.
>>
>>146527027
NG cycles don't affect chalice dungeons at all, evne the difficulty remains unchanged.
>>
>>146527027
in fact, you can buy some chalice materials in the insight shop ONLY after NG
>>
>>146527027
It actually makes it easier since entering NG+ adds a bunch of chalice materials to the shop, just make sure you grab the living string.

Blood Starved Beast is such a terrible boss, especially if you're underleveled

He can only kill you with the dumbest bullshit. He'll continually charge past you for ten minutes as you hold left forward on analog stick and then he'll hit you once and you'll get poisoned and die before you can vial.
>>
>>146530506
Alternatively, you keep walking forward+left and he still can't hit you and then he dies. Come on anon, you said yourself exactly what you need to do to kill him. Just keep doing that.
