/bbg/ - Bloodborne General

Hey everyone I think my game is bugged. After killing the crow hunter in the cathedral, Eilee. Told me she would be back after just a short rest. I thought okay and went on killing shit, then I looked at all her spots and she wasnt there. Where is she????

>>148319030
dead.

>>148319030
She's dead as hell.

>>148319030
It's not a bug. If you look at the lore on the Crow's Badge it pretty much tells you if she gives it to you, she's dead, though if you want to look at it optimistically she could've just gotten better and rode off into the sunset while you were pissing around.

Why is the location called "Tomb of Oedon" when Oedon is possibly the only Great One who is literally unkillable?

>>148319497
It's a graveyard right below Oedon Chapel. Why do you thing?

>>148319541
Ah, so it is "Tomb of Oedon" as in "Tomb in the name of Oedon". Yeah, should've thought a bit before asking, I guess.

You know the magic is much more fulfilling in DaS3 compared to the magic in BB, but I really wish they had kept the idea of being able to equip as many as you like or at least letting use up a set number of slots. Attunement slots only really made sense with DaS1's system because each attunement was what gave you your number of casts.

What do Arc tool users think and prefer? I think tools were a bit underwhelming in BB's PvE, the exceptions being bosses with obvious weak points like Amy G or Bribri.

>>148319756
Pyromancy isn't magic you filthy secondary.

Has anyone actually gotten a nourishing% + flat arc gem? Farming brainsuckers makes me crave death.

>>148319802
Yes, it is. Pyromancy isn't sorcery.

>>148319802
Why are you doing this, literally five posts before you is >>148319436

Just do us all a favor filter him already.

>>148319837
I didn't think flat arc was a possible secondary outside of of brainsucker gems.

That aside, what would even need +15 flat arc? You use nourishings for split damage, wouldn't you want the flat physical?

>>148320173
No, I mean something like 9.1% ATK up + 67.5 arc from brainsuckers, you might be thinking of gargoyle nourishings with a flat arc bonus which would probably also work well but I'm planning on using these on a wheel so the more flat arc I have, the better.

>>148320524
>the more flat arc the better

Depends on the build. You only want brainsucker gems with low arc or, if you have high arc, on your way to getting Amygdala nourishings.

I mean, unless you're a shitter and exclusively use dash attacks.

Yo where can I find some of that old blood these crazy people keep talking bout? Church crackers keeping that shit to themselves huh?

Well guess what, fuck you church, me and Josefka are gonna start our own little blood distribution and go all Tony Montana on your ass.

Why is this allowed? If I hit a boss with enough force to topple him, he shouldn't get to retaliate faster than his usual reactions.

>>148322416
That shit annoys me too, especially when BB was supposed to be all about being more aggressive.

Man, I love Bloodborne but this game really has some of the cheapest and flat out unfun segments of any game i've played.

The Bloody Crow of Cainhurst is just a joke.

>gun does 50% health
>infinite stamina
>infinite ammo
>can heal
>Can get a lucky parry that is an insta kill

In fact, every hunter that you fight in this game (outside of bosses like Maria) our flat out, unfun and completely repetitive.

Is there a way to cheese this shit because i'm getting tired of grinding him out each playthrough.

>>148323084

Yea, I don't know who designed those mini bosses but they fucking suck

>>148323084
learn to parry and not get shot. The hunters in the unseen village are the most fun thing in the game.

>>148320950
I can savescum a vitgouge wheel build whenever I want, but I want to try a nourishing setup that also doesn't gimp the inarguably best move tricked wheel has.

>>148323084
poison knives are your friend
i was lucky enough to have the guy at the machinegun in old yharnam to suicide by sidestepping off the ledge, he's just a pain cos of the area you fight on

>>148323368

>Parry
>Do barely any damage
>he heals

This isn't a case of "git gud", this is a case of an enemy not being fun to fight no matter how good you get. I've beaten him 5 times now on 5 separate playthroughs and he's relatively easy but not fun.

>>148324383
Then you grind abyssals from Amygdala (or Rom for the radial). You want +21.5% ATK up with +15 physical. You'll lose out on something like fifty damage on the dash attack, but you'll get around 150 more damage on all of your single hit attacks.

I don't think any game i've played made me want to discuss the various lore/world building found in Bloodborne.

>>148324970
If your riposte a shit then use the change to land a charged R2. If he tried to heal, parry that too. It is a matter of getting good. He is supposed to be tough. It's not even like you are required to do the quest line.

Because they actually give you answers for most of the relevant questions you throw up, give you context for what you do, what it means, and because, whatever you do, you feel like you're actually in that world and making an impact.

Counterpoint: Have you played / watched a LP of that new Playdead game, called Inside? It's the guys who made Limbo. I watched it yesterday (WATCHED; I fucking spent two hours on YT watching a cinematic playthrough and the fucker only died once) and although the visual and world theme was kind of similar to the Souls games, being desolate, dead and often monochrome, the story itself sucks a fat one. You achieved nothing that means anything to me because nothing was even vaguely elaborated on, the game ends on a totally retarded twist that comes out of nowhere and there wasn't a single character in the story to get interested in. Hell, not even the main character is a real person or has any relationships.

To summarize my view, I think the Fromsoft games and their lore are so good because every single one of them revolves around CHARACTERS. Many writers, especially game writers, forget that any story is 99% defined by the characters in it, and that humans could give a wet fart on the story and the worldbuilding, it's the CHARACTERS that your perception of the world circles around.

And the From games do this in a great way, they introduce the world as centered around a handful of really powerful people that shaped it from the day it existed and then place you as the player a long time after those days and give you the task of dodgerolling those important people TO DEATH. If there is an important person in the lore, chances are that you will end up in a big duke-out to the death with them, and chances are that the loot they drop will have descriptions that illuminate the backstory of the world even more. It's an intrinsically human way of telling the story, because I don't care about a castle, I care about who built it, why.

Is there anything sweeter than when someone summons extra helpers to deal with an invasion than shooting the newly spawned guy with a BMA'd cannon while he bows?

>>148325112
To add another point to what the other replying anon said, as From makes the story about characters, the way they tell it, even through game mechanics and even shit like architexture is utterly compelling. The best example is still probably the missing Nameless King statues in dark souls 1's Anor Londo, or even Dark Souls difficulty that acts as a metanarrative parallel to hollowing by making players consider giving up. They make a character-driven world, and then focus everything on reinforcing immersion within that world, whether that's game mechanics or whatever. I feel like i failed to articulate what i wanted to say though.

I just killed ROM the spider (did some optional shit like the crows questline and finished Cainhurst)

Rom is about the midway point.

>>148323084
Three poison knives is enough to drain a third of his health. You can bait him into draining his own health with the tricked Chitage, and then parry him when he's throwing around the predictable red splashes it makes. When he starts popping the Old Hunter's Bone with the untricked Chitahge he usually rolls to the side and shots, so pop your own or just stop attacking him. If you're really having trouble dodge around and only use parries.

On the side note: it's your fourth game From and you STILL can't fucking fix that shit when you can't riposte/visceral attack if you're lower on the stairs than your opponent

>>148328604
If you haven't already joined the Vilebloods you miss out on a lot of black and red shit. Might as well go full Judas if you do you ungrateful piece of shit.

>>148328604
Pros: you can finally make Alfred kill himself
Cons: you'll have to wait till later in the game before you can resurrect Annalise

>>148328168
You've got a few main areas and 2 major optional areas to go. 7 bosses if I'm not mistaken. One those optional ones was avalible as soon as entered the forest. step lightly round to the right of the great Cathederal, and seek an ancient shrouded Church...the gift of the godhead will grant you strength...

And also the DLC, which you should definetly get if you havnt already and play it just before fighting the final boss (you'll know when it is). And there's Chalice dungeons as well, if you want even more content.

Does anyone know if Kos has any weakspot in his second form?

Good evening, /bbg/. Unfortunately my day off is long over now, I'm back at my office chair, working, with the hunt on hold. The countdown starts from this moment on and in six days I'll be huntan' and slayan' and blood spillin' some more. The wait will be pure torture, but the situation being what it is - at least now I have something to look forward to each week.

I'm probably going to make a huge ass post or even a couple of them over the time (since technically I couldn't be shitposting while at work, since I work with people around me, so it might take lots of times in between the posts), where I'll talk about my Bloodborne gaming experience up until Vicar Amelia and the Darkbeast Paarl.

Kinda miss hearing the haunting orchestra and having a choir sing SANGUINEEEEEEEEEEE into my headphones, but it's going to be ok. Next week I want to go deeper into the story and the chalices and hopefully find a Dex weapon that I can swap with my saw spear (I do love the weapon, but all the weapons I've gotten so far have been either Str or Quality weapons, besides the cane.)

I don't wear Radiance because of shitty memes, I wear Radiance because it's fun to fight Vilebloods when I get summoned by them. I do a lot of coop, so it's nice to shake things up from time to time with a good purging.

Besides, Vilebloods are all edgelord cuckmasters with their le blood katanas. Who wouldn't want to purge that?

You should have just said you weren't a disgusting Vileblood. You confederates are a boon to the hunt if there ever was one. Keep fighting the good fight.

So I just got a PS4 finally after all this time, and have bloodborne of course. I started with the saw blade and have killed Cleric Beast and opened up the shortcut at the first Lamp. Anything I need to know for this game? I've beaten and played ever souls game, demon to 3. Bloodborne is so much faster and I often catch myself over extending and getting comboed to death so I'm
Getting use to how it is played differently from Souls. So far it's literally 10/10 this atmosphere and enemies and everything is great.

Some things to keep in mind.

- Every time you get a Badge check the shop, new stuff will be there
- Talk to NPC's after every boss, they won't always have anything new, but bosses are always the trigger.
- If it's not fucking gigantic and has arms you can probably parry it.
- bosses may seem like they have unesisary amounts of HP, this usually means there's a mechanic to the fight, humanoids it's often parrying big beasts or monsters usually have a weak spot (Cleric Beast takes 2x damage to his head for example) or crippleable limbs to stun them and inflict 50% more damage for a while.
- Don't be afraid to upgrade anything and everything to +6, Shards and Twin Shards are everywhere, but Chunks and Rocks are very hard to obtain until endgame (and by endgame I don't mean last area, I mean Dungeons that are equivilent to NG+4) so choose carefully what you want to upgrade to max first.

Otherwise your souls knowledge should keep you going, just go out and kill a few beasts, it's just what hunters do.

Cosplaying as Vampire Hunter D?

In fact, Bloodborne has quite a few resemblances to the Vampire Hunter D 1985 anime. Does anyone here think it was intentional? Just like Dark Souls takes clear inspiration from Berzerk?

>>148335131
Wouln't be shooked. Miyazaki knows his shit!

>>148321020

I'll never not laugh at this.

Bloodtinge builds have it easier than they think as far as the grind is concerned. All it takes is time, there's no challenge in killing the same fatty 800 times. They don't even have to worry about secondaries, just keep killing fatties until you get your offshape.

Meanwhile, arc builds have to fight bosses like Rom and Amygdala, where you're constantly at risk of getting oneshot, and with them you have to hope you get an abyssal, and then hope the secondary isn't ass, and then hope the curse isn't ass.

Bloodtinge babbies need to stop their whining already.

I'm surprised at the lack of Anime set in similar settings to Bloodborne.

You would think it would be a goldmine for that sort of media. Does anyone know of any besides the obvious like Vampure Hunter D/Berzerk (which even then are a stretch)?

>>148335857
Its easier but usually a lot more tedious. The thing with Blt offshape farming is that once you've gained your one offshape after killing the Watcher 100 times in a row, you have to make sure its not a warm damp offshape, which adds shitty tinge scaling rather than blood atk, then you have to make sure its not a shit curse like atk down or -hp for it to be usable.

Arc doesn't have it easy at all but can be done a lot quicker unless they're autistically looking for a specific secondary/curse on their Abyssals/Nourishings.

Also
>Killing FRC Rom
>When Gargoyles drop 19.3% Nourishings

>>148335857
You're right that in terms of mechanical skill it's far easier to get good BLT gems, but it's also far more boring fighting the same non-boss enemy over and over again than running through chalices and fighting the bosses.

I dunno about the BoM, I really hate that weapon. It's no fun to use at all. But I really enjoy using the LHB. It's got good and useful tricked and untricked movesets, has good scaling with SKL, STR, and ARC so you can use it on a variety of builds, and you can get it relatively early into the game.

>>148338762
>Invading in Middle Loft
>Almost on a cycle of Rakuyo, Ludwigs, Blade of Mercy, Chikage

Some weapons just attract shitters. Rakuyo and Blade of Mercy are because lmao2kat, Ludwig's is a mix of Guts sword and it being scrub friendly, Chikage is a literal blood katana.

It doesn't help that almost 75% of these people wear the same goddamn Cainhurst helm.

>>148338220

Do not kill Moon Presance until you have done everything else.

>>148339817
As someone that just did a playthrough that used the BoM from Henryk up to Mensis, not a fan.

>>148339592
I'm seeing lots of crow steel knock offs too. It's especially funny when you see the host in black church armor or something else fairly plain, and his down scaled summon going full edge mode.

>>148339817
I've never used blades of mercy but from what I've seen they look pretty lame. Then again all the people who I fight just spam the dash attack with them.

>>148340069
Learn to use it then?

>>148339824
Still gonna finish Chalice Dungeon though.

>>148340161
Obviously I did if I succeeded with it. At the end of the day, I just didn't enjoy the moveset beyond the tricked L2 and the tricked dodge R1. It also really bothers me that untricked R1 attacks just smack the opponent with the flat of the blade instead of actually trying to hurt them.

>>148340086

The other half is cool as all fuck tho

>>148340853
R1 spam is boring, running R1 is terrible, both backstep attacks are nothing special. R2 and running R2 are the most reliable damage moves in PvE because the R1 combo is weak as shit unless you get the whole thing off, and even then it's weaker than comparable weapons.

Dodge R1 and L2 are fun to use, but that's about all I can give it.

>>148340835

Some entire areas can be overlooked by pure mistake, so check every single nook and cranny for everything to side areas to just corridors, check boss arenas after the boss is dead, check regular areas. It's worth it.

Windows and doors with red lanterns outside them have people inside, talk to them.

The sound design is nice. In all other aspects I prefer something like the Burial Blade, the HMS on a quality build, or Simon's Bowblade with 50 SKL and 50 BLT. I'd also like to say I haven't used the BoM in PvP yet. All of my experience is from PvE, but I've heard the only thing that makes the BoM viable in PvP is the tricked dodge R1.

Any other thoughts?

>>148343142
Steak is bad and you won't enjoy it but luckily you have a lot of other weapons to use at 50/25
also your hmls lacks arcane investment so the beams will hit for about as much as a +10 pistol

>>148343320
I haven't used the steak yet, but I'm willing to give it a try. As for the HMS, from my calculations this seems to be the way to make the best use out of both forms and give me the most damage possible on the moveset sans the beams. Should I still go nourishing on the HMS, or would blunt adept/physical gems be better?
Also as an alternative to the steak I could use the poonhammer (ignoring obvious options like the pizza cutter or LHB), which uses nourishings, right? Or should that be blunt as well?

Steak is fine, the only thing it lacks in is range. The damage from it is good on its own, and when you add its counterhit bonus it gets even better. Plus the rocket punch gives you infinite style points if you land it on someone which happens more often than you'd think.

Ideal would be 50/25/25 with nourishings for hmls but you can run the standard phys setup with 1 heavy abyssal to the most out of everything but the beams
You won't want blunt gems because the untricked r2 is the pvp crutch move that has mad hyper armor, very little windup, and is thrust damage with a decent sized modifer
I found the boomhammer super boring but like I said you have a lot of options as a 50/25 so find what you like

There no secrets left in bloodborne right? Every chalice is completed every secret gates unveiled every singles item is gathered and their purpose is known.Every dialogue of every npc is known.
And all endings are proper endings with no sequel bait. Or are there anything left in this that still has a mystery surrounding it

Replaying the game I noticed a few things that I never have before, like in the Cathedral Ward the sniper villager will shout "OVER HERE" to rally a mob out of a building, and villagers will have different dialogue depending on your outfit. I've never seen those things talked about, so there could be more little details you've missed out on.
Pretty sure everything huge and groundbreaking has been found, though.

Hordes of powerful enemies with ranged attacks that are near-suicidal to fight in a group, long, linear design means you can't avoid them too well unless you go up into the buildings above. It's linear and the sheer difficulty makes it unappealing to explore.

yeah you dont have to level it past 20 at most, but a lot of weapons really benefit from levelling endurance, and its really fucking good to be able to attack a lot and put pressure on fleeing enemies, and in most cases it won't hurt you build level.

>>148348254
Idk what level people usually are at Cainhurst. My guess is ~40-50 but I don't really know. 80 is perfect for Mensis invasions though and most people do Hunters Nightmare when they are almost through the main game because Lewdwig bullies them.

You mean the transform attack? Just wait a second after dodging/attacking before tricking your weapon.

I just started this game and I'm blind to everything around it, I'm tempted right now to watch a speedrun just to know the areas pretty well instead of wasting time going around pressing interact with anything

Actually do we have a cheat guide like dsg? I'm going to check the pastebin but still think watching a speedrun will be good

Lastly, so endurance is a memestat? I thought 40 END was a must for these games because spamming weapons is good and never go wrong with stamina

Rip and tear, Rip and tier! Blood for the bloodgod!

Jeez, it's impossible to find decent PvP in Byrgenwerth, I just get gangfucked by a guy and his two summons.

On the other hand, that last match was fun; host was AFK and his summon was too shit to stop me.

>>148370624
Well, it is a really tiny area, and the only real co-op to do is at the boss.
Might be better off just goin back to the forest.

Does From think that making multiple phase bosses is fresh and hip and cool? Because at this point it's so fucking oversaturated. I'm sick and tired that literally 77% of the game bosses(not including chalice ones) pull out the "behold my true power" card

>>148370380
Those are pretty creepy, my lad.

How tall is the doll? Assuming my character is not a manlet, I'd say she must be every bit of seven feet.

>>148371364
Nothing wrong with several phase bosses to keep the fight engaging, at least they don't have a healthbar for each phase

I would play Bloodborne more but it gives me trippy and horrible nightmares

>>148371364
It makes things way more interesting and challenging.

>>148371478
I got mad as fuck when soul of cinder popped that second health bar. Holy Christ. Thankfully they left that shut out of BB.

So now that i have fully played BB and realise dodging is way more better than using shields can a nigga go through demon souls without a shield on his first play through?

Or is it slow as fuck there?

>>148372282
DeS is actually pretty fast and you don't even fatroll until like 70% equip load IIRC.
Two bosses in particular practically require dodging, in fact, and a lot of enemies lag ass and are slow as fuck, so you can easily use your speed to fuck them up.

>>148372282
>relying on shields in any souls game
lmao just play zelda

>>148372662
Das1 was my first souls so obviously i was gonna be a pussy and use a shield there.
Especially when some looked cool.

My very first playthrough of DaS1 was a Giantdad run I did for the memes.

I had no idea that shields existed for any purpose but resting on my back and giving me +stamina reg via GCS.

I taught myself something I called the 'intercept-parry' to deal with troublesome enemies that attacked faster than I did (aka most of them besides hollows) or those that had good shield skills: (jumping) R2 overhead Zweihander smash exactly when the enemy winds up for an attack. This usually knocked them flat on the ground and opened them up for R2 or R1 combos. It's not a real parry, but it's good enough eh?

Which version of the Saif would you guys say is the most useful?

I kind of just want to stick to the normal version and just throw a bunch of mensis droplet gems on it but I have all the chalices open on the character I'm using the Saif with so I don't mind getting an uncanny or lost one.

>>148373372
physical - radial/radial/triangle
elemental - radial/radial/waning or radial/waning/triangle

just like every other weapon in the game

>>148373170
There's a ring in the chalice dungeons that you can use to try and propose to her but I don't think anything happens.

Could anybody tell me how an arcane build works early game? I want to make a ayyy lmao build for fun but since I don't think I'll take it into NG+ I'll have to do DLC early on.

Do I just level up arcane while using cleaver until I get the holy moonlight sword or something? Because getting arcane weapons/gems early game is almost impossible unless you farm chalices

>>148373501

This is an argument I'll never understand.

How are multi-phase fights in anyway a bad thing? Sure if every boss had a cutscene like Ludwig or even a good judicial transformation like Gasgoine it could get repetitive, but most phase changes are a quick animation that gives the boss some new moves or mechanics. It helps keeps fights interesting and requires changes of tactics or rewards saving powerful items for certain stages of the fight.

Bosses in DeS/DaS often felt like regular enemies with a bunch of health and a fog-gate (Taurus and Capra were in fact exactly this). You dodged thier attacks and punished the openings, exact same stratedgy until they died.

Even minor chalice bosses in Bloodborne have second phase's, like Pthumurian Desendant switching to dual Shotel's which have different dodge/parry timings or Abhorrent Beast getting EVEN MORE aggressive and adding projectiles to his punches.

Could anyone help me with Rom the Cunt? Level 49, am I just bad?

thx buddy, have some fine fan art in return

>>148373660
Anti magic shield.
Use it against magic and the magic will do shit against you. Pretty good for the Living Failures which is in the same area as the shield if I'm not mistaken.

>>148374740
>Level 49, am I just bad?

Either yes or you allocated your stats pretty badly. I'd gladly help you but I don't have a character near him right now.

>>148374740
Nah Rom is just tedious. Just dodge the meteors. Kill the tiny spiders and than your good.
There isn't much to it.

Sorry to the guy I just died with, willing to try again if you are

>mfw I just found out you can counter the blood-starved beast

>>148375312
What gems you planning on using?

If you are just going to use Physical gems then the Radial/Radial/Triangle one is best. If you are autistic enough to farm 3 off-shape Bloodtinge Gems then it doesn't matter, getting and upgrading whichever version fits your gems to +10 would be quicker than farming for specific off-shapes.

>>148375378
Well you're supposed to have more VGR than END, specially using the axe honestly. I'd recommend leveling up VGR as much as you can... So yeah it doesn't surprise me you're having trouble with Rom, he's an asshole to low VGR people.

>>148375482
I mean, you can sure, but why would you? It's not a maria/Kos case where it makes the fight immensely easier...

>>148374697
The problem is that it doesn't bring anything "interesting" or "refreshing" most of the time, it's just a boss becoming more aggressive and/or getting some bullshit move(BSB, Vicar Amelia, Amygdala, Ebrietas, Dorkbeast, Logarius and probably other bosses I can't be bothered remembering). Bosses such as Gascoin, Maria, Ludwig etc are multiple phases done right, in my opinion

>>148375630
But I need more hits in my combo....

>>148375630
Because I'm in the Chalice dungeon getting my ass handed to me. Fuck this beast.

>>148375610
Thanks

Physical, mama didn't raise no autist

>>148375874
>more aggressive and/or getting some bullshit move
>cites Ludwig and Gassy dad as example of multiple phases done right
it's time to give up lad

>>148376668
At least they get a new moveset instead of just starting to attack spam

>>148376835
Amy and Ebby both get new movesets as the fight go on as well as get a bit more agressive and Logarius just stops spamming magic.
It's weird that you pointed out Ludwig as a good example because whenever I hear that people hate the multiple phase thing they hate it because some bosses change their moveset completely at a certain point.

>>148377225
>Amy and Ebby both get new movesets
Didn't notice any reasonable changes in their movesets. They do gain a couple of new attacks, but hardly anything noticeable over being raped with a barrage of hard-hitting attacks. Ludwig, on the other hand, gains a completely new moveset, which does make it more "refreshing" and challenging since you're basically fighting another boss

So guys is Kos's only sweet spot in his second phase where he screams for lightning?

I'm doing an arcane suicide run at level 43 for this guy.
It took me a day to start figuring out his second phases moveset and the only move that has shown to be a sweet spot is the lightning one because you can nearly always get an easy backstab with it.

I'm farming gems from the winter lanterns in Fishing Hamlet. What's considered acceptable? I found a physical ark up 20.6% with atk vs beasts down 10.5% is that considered good?

>>148378083
Amy starts causing Arcane explosions with his hands at 60%ish health, then at 30% rips his own arms off and uses them as clubs. How did you not notice this?

Eribritas gets lasers, a flying dive, and an aura that does damage to anything near her (including herself).

>>148379370
Good enough if you're willing to settle. The best numbers from Hamlet droplets are 22.3%.

>>148379615
I see, what should I be looking for, for the drawback? Is atk vs beasts down good?

>>148379370
That's not maxed, they go to 23% physical I think.

And curses are whatever you find acceptable. Health drain and ATK down are instant garbage, the others are varying degrees of annoying. ATK vs The Kin down is the best one, since Kin are quite rare, as long as you at least one weapon (preferably thrust) that doesn't have Kin Down gems. Stamina useage up is barely noticable, Durability curses DONT stack, so if you have one you might as well have 3. They are OK on some weapons, but Tontrius and Chikage will be breaking all the time due to low durability.

>>148379441
Well, I didn't notice Amy's arms because I've spent all the time under her belly, they simply did nothing to me, same with explosions. Ebrietas' new moves hardly bring anything refreshing into already quite a bullshit of a fight

>>148379786
Well if you want it for pvp the worst drawback is decreased durability but thas it mane

>>148378274
Just backstab him with the Augur.

>>148379939
>Ebrietas
>Bullshit
How? Just stick to her side and keep dodging in the direction she turns.

>>148379960
-hp and atk down are both easily worse than durability down. Dura down doesn't stack either if two or all three of the gems you use have that curse. Dura down will fuck with you in PvE, PvP not so much.

>>148379960
>>148379885

Thanks, know a good way to take me down? I've been countering them, but I find my self constantly using potions due to frenzy

>>148380151
Oh yeah I completely forgot about them.

>>148380017
>high turn speed
>wide sweep attacks
>frenzy
>generally high damage, sometimes even oneshotting
>you also have to battle camera, just like with any big enough boss

>>148380224
Equip Crowfeather Hat, and Ashen Garb/Gloves/Legs and the +200 Frenzy Resist rune from the Forest. This should make your frenzy bar huge, but having high Insight will make it smaller.

I usually just stunlock them to death and hope it doesn't pop frenzy, drink if I have to. Another method is to running R2 them with a heavy weapon then to hide until it drops again, and repeat. Safe, but slow. Also poison knifes work for even cheesier kills.

Another method is to deliberately have low Frenzy resist (not too low) and parry their grab attack and then during the Visceral you have i-frames so the Frenzy will pop harmlessly.

>>148380878
Thanks, first one sounds the most doable

>>148379963
I just did it there.
Wow. I can't believe I forgotten that the Augur could do that. So many hours planning gone but at least I'm a collyflower now.

Thanks a bunch mate.

Gem recommendations for HMLS and Church Pick?

I know the Church Pick has many thrust attacks, but I get really uncomfortable when I see AR drop.

Can someone help me understand this?

Thanks, appreciate it

>>148386398
Yep. Pw "rage" on Ailing Loran lvl 1

>>148386081
Depth 5 Chalice Dungeons, or farm the goo people in Lecture Building.

>>148342513
I feel bad, but I genuinely laughed

>>148386606
Ok I'm ringing

>>148386534
Hmls is usually at its best with nourishings, but if you don't have at least 25arc you'd be better off sticking to full physical
Church pick does well with pure physical gems, but the thrust damage increase is worth the loss of a few untrick moves, as you still have the dash r1, first r1 and the trick attacks to use that use thrust, as well as the entire two handed moveset at a much more effective level

https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/753367979300163584

>>148386729
Compared to farming in Mergo's Loft?

>>148387638
Oh fuck, I forgot about that one. Good run, I wonder how the time on it compares to the equivalent amount of blood echoes from Lecture Building...

>>148387126
Is it something I just have to test on enemies to see if my investment in thrust is worth the downgrade in overall AR?

>>148388125
The pick is 80% thrust untricked my man and the tricked version is 100% thrust
Trust me when I say concentrating on AR will not help you at all with that weapon
